Baramos: Difference between revisions

Baramos and his forces menaced the world for an unknown number of years prior to the beginning of the game, which necessitated the Hero [[Ortega]] departing from [[Aliahan]] to slay him in the opening prologue. Though the [[King of Aliahan]] states that the world at large is unaware of the fiend's activities, his very presence emboldens monsters the world over to assault human settlements and he has sent disguised monsters to infiltrate society, the most disastrous instance being the [[boss troll]] replacing the [[King of Manoza]]. Though commanding the highest station among monsters Baramos is utterly petty and will single out specific humans to torment simply to spread more misery, such as when he cursed the young couple [[Carlos and Sabrina]]. This is not to imply that the wretch is short-sighted or distracted with his amusements, however; the HD-2D remake shows that Baramos is keenly aware of the threats against him and dispatches powerful minions to assassinate the {{Hero 3}} throughout the game.  

Throughout the first half of {{III}} Baramos is believed to be the final boss, but this is a malicious facade; when the Hero defeats Baramos and returns to [[Aliahan]] triumphant, [[Zoma]] interrupts the celebrations to reveal Baramos was just an underling of his--an advance force to clear the way for his master. With his chief servant having failed [[Zoma]] announces that he will personally plunge the world into eternal darkness, causing the {{Hero 3}} to continue his quest in the [[Alefgard|underworld]].

Baramos will attack the party once more in [[Zoma's Citadel]] as a [[Bones of Baramos|shambling corpse]]. There is no dialogue prior or during these encounters, implying that Baramos is not truly "revived" and is forced into further servitude by [[Zoma]]'s magic.  In the {{III}} remakes, a common enemy in {{Cloudsgate Citadel  3}} is a pallete-swap known as a [[Baramonster]]. Whether the [[Baramonster]]s were in [[Zoma]]'s employ is not certain.
