==Characteristics==
==Appearance and personality==
Near the end of the game, Zoma is revealed to be the master of the archfiend [[Baramos]], whom had been previously alluded to as the final boss to the game. Upon the death of his chief servant, Zoma's voice roars throughout the throne room of [[Aliahan]] castle, stating that his intent to plunge the "world of light" into darkness and that the [[Erdrick|hero]] is a fool for assuming that he had won peace. This proclamation sends the king of Aliahan into a deep despair, forbidding the hero and company from speaking of Zoma.
Zoma is a blue demon dressed in the golden robes of an emperor and wearing a purple cape that attaches to his shoulders in large horizontal pads. A red, white, and black banner covers his torso as well as his knees, and wraps around his neck as a large collar. His face is skeletal with tight skin and an open nasal cavity. His skull is disproportional to his body, featuring a massive eye in the center and two large, upwards curving horns on both sides.


Zoma is a demon of unfathomable power, whose sorcery is so great that he was able to imprison the kingdom of Alefgard in a shroud of eternal night. Due to this, he was able to sustain himself on the despair of the people trapped within, bolstering his physical might so much that he was able to shatter a sword made of [[Orichalcum]], albeit after a prolonged effort of three years.

Due to this, he was able to sustain himself on the despair of the people trapped within, bolstering his physical might so much that he was able to shatter a sword made of [[Orichalcum]], albeit after a prolonged effort of three years. His incredible strength is supported by a mastery of ice magic and freezing breath, and it is said that the very air becomes chilled by his mere presence. Zoma is also the first boss in the series to make use of the infamous [[Disruptive Wave]] technique, stripping his enemies of any support spells.


Zoma resides in [[Zoma's Citadel|his Citadel]] in [[Alefgard]], where he feeds on the fear and despair of the kingdom's inhabitants. Being an embodiment of evil, Zoma is weakened by [[Sphere of Light|bright light]] and harmed by all healing magic. Zoma is on the basement floor of the castle along with three sub-bosses--the [[King Hydra]] along with the [[Soul of Baramos|ghost]] and the [[Bones of Baramos|skeleton]] of Baramos. He approaches and berates to the hero prior to allowing his three subordinates to fight the hero's party before him.
The Archfiend resides in [[Zoma's Citadel|his Citadel]] in Alefgard, where he feeds on the fear and despair of the kingdom's inhabitants and cloaking himself in an impenetrable shroud of darkness that no spell can pierce. However, Zoma is weakened by the [[Sphere of Light]] and the shroud is destroyed when the ball is used in battle. Upon being defeated by the Hero (as well as [[Terry]] in ''DQM''), Zoma mockingly congratulates his vanquisher but warns that his death will not bring an end to the world's suffering, and that a new evil shall arise to take his place long after the Hero has died. He is proven correct that the [[Dragonlord|darkness yet to come]] will throw Alefgard into despair, but failed to realize that the lineage of heroes will resurface to restore light to the world.
 
Upon being defeated by the hero (as well as Terry in ''DQM''), Zoma displays some degree of nobility, a surprising quality considering his overall malevolent nature. He genuinely congratulates the hero and companions for their victory, as opposed to his right-hand man Baramos, who threatens and curses the hero down to his last breath. He also demonstrates clairvoyance, as he is able to foresee [[Dragonlord|darkness yet to come]] and that the hero will either be too old or dead and thus unable to vanquish said evil.

Title Master Archfiend

Age Ageless

Zoma, the Master Archfiend of the Dark World, is the final villain and chief antagonist of Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation.

Appearance and personality

Zoma is a blue demon dressed in the golden robes of an emperor and wearing a purple cape that attaches to his shoulders in large horizontal pads. A red, white, and black banner covers his torso as well as his knees, and wraps around his neck as a large collar. His face is skeletal with tight skin and an open nasal cavity. His skull is disproportional to his body, featuring a massive eye in the center and two large, upwards curving horns on both sides.

Zoma is a demon of unfathomable power, whose sorcery is so great that he was able to imprison the kingdom of Alefgard in a shroud of eternal night. Due to this, he was able to sustain himself on the despair of the people trapped within, bolstering his physical might so much that he was able to shatter a sword made of Orichalcum, albeit after a prolonged effort of three years. His incredible strength is supported by a mastery of ice magic and freezing breath, and it is said that the very air becomes chilled by his mere presence. Zoma is also the first boss in the series to make use of the infamous Disruptive Wave technique, stripping his enemies of any support spells.

The Archfiend resides in his Citadel in Alefgard, where he feeds on the fear and despair of the kingdom's inhabitants and cloaking himself in an impenetrable shroud of darkness that no spell can pierce. However, Zoma is weakened by the Sphere of Light and the shroud is destroyed when the ball is used in battle. Upon being defeated by the Hero (as well as Terry in DQM), Zoma mockingly congratulates his vanquisher but warns that his death will not bring an end to the world's suffering, and that a new evil shall arise to take his place long after the Hero has died. He is proven correct that the darkness yet to come will throw Alefgard into despair, but failed to realize that the lineage of heroes will resurface to restore light to the world.

Near the end of the game, Zoma is revealed to be the master of the archfiend Baramos, whom had been previously alluded to as the final boss to the game. Upon the death of his chief servant, Zoma's voice roars throughout the throne room of Aliahan castle, stating that his intent to plunge the "world of light" into darkness and that the Hero is a fool for assuming that he had won peace. This proclamation sends the king of Aliahan into a deep despair, forbidding the Hero and company from speaking of Zoma.

Zoma is on the basement floor of his castle along with three sub-bosses--the King Hydra along with the ghost and the skeleton of Baramos. He approaches and berates to the Hero prior to allowing his three subordinates to fight the hero's party before him.

Remove his shield immediately with the Sphere of Light; without it, Zoma is immune to everything you can throw at him. On top of this, he will regenerate 90~110 HP per round, minimizing any damage players can inflict between healing sessions.

Once the cloak of ice is removed, Zoma's defensive capabilities will plummet considerably: Sap, Zap, and all forms of fire will hit 100% of the time, and his regeneration will be nixed.Woosh spells have a 30% chance to connect, but a priest is better off casting healing spells to inflict damage when they aren't restoring the party.
