If you go deeper into basement floor 5, you will face four consecutive battles: three mini bosses, King Hydra, BaraBomus, and BaraGonus, and the final boss, Zoma.
You cannot go back halfway through, so be sure to prepare thoroughly by ensuring you have all the necessary items, equipment, and leveling up in advance.
Do Not Leave Zoma's Citadel After Initiating Boss Battles
If you leave Zoma's Citadel after initiating battle with the four bosses, it will respawn the mini bosses you have defeated prior and you will need to defeat them again. Make sure you do not go outside in the middle of this processs.
How to Open the Throne Room Door
There are six stone statues in front of the central door on floor 1. Defeat all of the stone statues that turn into GrndTitans to open the door.
Search Behind the Throne
There are four staircases on the first floor, but they all end at the basement level. By investigating behind the throne in the throne room on floor 1, you can discover a secret staircase that allows you to proceed further.
Be Careful of the Rotating Floor
| Pattern | Direction of Movement |
|---|---|
 |
Up → [Left], Down → [Right] Left → [Down], Right → [Up] |
 |
Up → [Right], Down → [Left] Left → [Up], Right → [Down] |
The Rotating Floor has a special mechanic, where stepping on a tile with a specific diamond pattern leads to a completely different direction of your intended step.
A helpful tip to note is that if you rotate your controller 90 degrees to the left, it will follow the correct pattern of movement for diamonds that are white on the lefthand side. The opposite is applicable for diamonds with white on its righthand side, you turn your controller 90 degrees to the right.
