COSMIC FANTASY 3 Walkthrough - Chapter 3

Thanks to Justin Cheer for writing the initial FAQ on Cosmic Fantasy 3. His faq
can be found on http://www.gamefaqs.com/turbocd/589247-cosmic-fantasy-3-bouken-
shounen-rei/faqs/39979. Also, I'd like to thank the authors of online Japanese
Cosmic Fantasy 3 Guide at http://www.geocities.co.jp/HeartLand-Suzuran/9038/
CosmicFantasy3/pce_kouryaku16.html which without I wouldn't have been able to
write this faq up myself. The Japanese guide also has a complete section on
weapons and spell lists. I *might* get around to translating that list, but in
the mean time, you might have to resort to babelfish to get the jist of all
that. :)

As Justin Cheer's FAQ goes up to the end of Chapter 2, I decided to write down
some notes while playing through the last remaining chapter in the game.  It's
not a comprehensive FAQ by any means, but it should guide players who are
already familiar with the gameplay, yet stuck because they don't know what to
do, toward the right direction.

If you have any questions about the game, come on down to the pcenginefx forums
at http://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/ and myself or someone should be able to
answer most questions about the game.

FIELD COMMANDS
*******************************************************************************
During the field exploration, the commands are listed as follows.

* Item
* Magic
* Status
* Equip
  + Equip Weapon
       There are 3 spots for weapons for each character. The character will by
       default use the weapon on the 1st spot. During battle, s/he can change
       weapons (see Battle Command section below).
  + Unequip Weapon
       Unequip weapon and put it in general items inventory.
  + Change Weapon
       You can change the position of the weapons

*******************************************************************************
BATTLE COMMANDS
*******************************************************************************
When you first come up on battle - there are three main commands, broken down
into further sub commands.

* Fight
  + Attack
     - FUTSUU KOUGEKI (Normal Attack)
          Your normal, vanilla attack move.
     - HISSATSU KOUGEKI (Force Attack)
          Causes greater damage at the expense of leaving yourself open for
          more damage as well.
     - TOKUSHU KOUGEKI (Weapon Effects Attack)
          Use special effects quality of your weapon.
     - SENSEI KOUGEKI (Pre-emptive Attack)
          Only the first party member to attack may use this move. You get to
          attack before the enemy, but at a weaker hit.
     - KYOUDOU KOUGEKI (Co-op Attack)
          Only the secondary party member may choose this attack move. By
          having the secondary member choose this move, two party members gang
          up on one enemy character.
     - KOUKAN KOUGEKI
          Attack by choosing the secondary or tertiary weapon you've equipped.
  + Magic
  + Parry
     - Self Parry
     - Partner Parry
     - Counterattack
* Run
* Auto

Of the various attack maneuvers, I only ever used normal attack, force attack,
and weapon effects attack (and that only towards the end of the game), and that
got me through the game juts fine. You can certainly have a play with it,
though!

*******************************************************************************
CHAPTER 1 & 2 - ADDITIONAL NOTES
*******************************************************************************
There are just two things I'd like to add to Justin Cheer's guide from chapter
1 and 2.

1) In the Lighthouse section, the crab-like enemy (GANIMEDA) is a tough one. As
noted in Justin's faq, you can use magic against the enemy, but alternatively,
it might be better to use the force attack and conserve magic for the heal
spell (RATI) instead.

Also, once you make your way upto the top, there will be a section with a chain
ring on the wall, pull it by pressing button I, and this will make another
flight of stairs appear in the middle of the screen. On the next floor up, you
will need to walk through secret paths in the wall (indicated by small cracks)
to continue.

2) In Chapter 2, when you go to the left room out of the spaceship for the last
time, continue going down the floors until you find yourself in an upper right
hand corner of a room with switches in the other corners.  Hit the lower left
Switch to reveal the next staircase and continue downward.  As you reach the
door to a room in the lower left hand corner, Dan will leave your party to take
on the pirates that are after you.

Continue until you reach a save point, and proceed to the boss fight and to the
end of Chapter 2.

*******************************************************************************
CHAPTER 3
*******************************************************************************

In chapter 3, you’ll start out at the town of FORUSA. Find the house in the
lower left hand side of the town, and talk to a blue-haired kid, who’ll tell
you that his black pet cat PUPE is missing. Go talk to NYAN, who has set up a
shop in the middle of the town.  He’ll sell you a “ANIMAL TALKIE”, which is a
mask that allows you to talk to the numerous cats in town (while all the
townspeople laugh at you). Go around and talk to all the cats in the town,
including a few inside buildings, and it’ll eventually trigger the missing cat
to appear in the lower right hand side of the town. Talk to PUPE and bring him
(and his lover cat) back to the kid’s house.

You’ll now board a boat to SIRIA island, to the town of HORI. From here, exit
the town to the north, then head west out of the exit, then south to a
spaceship. Inside the spaceship, look around until you see the obligatory
Cosmic Fantasy shower scene. After the scene, MAI will join you. Talk to DAIGO,
who’ll ask you to get a few things from the space station. Say Yes to his
question.

Space station is located south. BEFORE entering, unequip all NYAN’s weapons &
armor. Once in the building, NYAN will leave you temporarily, and when he
rejoins, he’ll lose all his equipment with him. Once inside, go downstairs, and
up to the next building, where there a number of junk shops. Buy a REV LIMITER,
LASER PLUG, and BOOST METER from the shops (one from each shop with a desk, and
items costs 4000G. You should also shop equipment for your party. On route to
exit, NYAN will rejoin you (with his level a lot lower!) – give him back his
equipment. Head back to the spaceship, and DAIGO will join your party. Go back
to HORI and get on the ship headed to REISU.

NOTE: The following few paragraphs are written from memory as I lost the word
file I was working on while playing the game so while it might not be 100%
accurate, it should have the necessary info for you to progress on in the game.

You are now in REISU island, in the town of MYA. Go talk to IRI, who’s standing
east of town. Go back to town, and go to the Inn, at this point, NYAN and DAIGO
will temporarily leave your party and stay at the Inn. Go inside, and talk to
NYAN, and answer yes to his question. Now it’ll become nighttime. Go out of
town, and go north, and continue to west, south, and west again. You’ll meet up
with IRI again, and eventually get to the town of RABIO.  You’ll have to go
back and forth a few times between MYA and RABIO to progress the game (sorry,
fuzzy memory here). Eventually, the two rival towns will realize that they can
work together, and you can move on from the town by taking the boat northwest
of town.

The boat will now take you to the town of PURUPURU. Talk to all the individuals
in town, until you get access to the house southwest of town, where an old man
will tell you to visit a lodge south of town. Make your way to the lodge until
you get to the lodge, and see SION inside. He’ll tell you to go get the old
sword inside the cave to the east. Go to the cave, and go up (across the black
pit) and work your way around until you get to a level where you can press two
ice pieces around the room to open a stairway in the center of the room (you
can walk into the ice wall that surrounds the staircase). Go inside, and work
your way around until you find the old sword (BOROBORO NO KEN). Once you find
it, come back to the lodge, give the sword to SION. Go back to the town, spend
a night at the Inn and go back to the lodge. You’ll find that SION is now
missing. Go up to the barrel in the upper-left hand corner of the room, where
you’ll find the sun sword (TAIYO NO KEN).

Go back to the ice cave and to the spot where you opened the staircase. As soon
as you enter the stairs, head northbound, and you’ll find you can once again
walk up across the black pit onto the next ledge. Continue until you get to the
boss, and defeat the boss. Continue and exit the cave. As you make your way
down, you’ll find SION lying about in the snow. Talk to him, then continue
south as you come to a new town, MIRA (you might have passed another spaceship
lying around in the snow in the process).

NOTE: Okay, now back to taking notes WHILE playing the game.

You are now in the town of MIRA. Talk to everyone and go inside the building
right of the weapons shop to talk to MAURIN. Say yes to his question, and he’ll
take you to a cannon site, where he’ll shoot your party across to COCOS island.
From where you land, go left, and down, and continue until you can’t go
anymore, then up, and around to the right, until you come to a town that’s in
ruins. There should be a gray boulder in one of the ruins – move it to find a
set of stairs. Talk to the refugees inside. From the ruins, go straight west,
then go south until you see a ledge up to the next level. Work your way up to
the third ledge up to the left, and you’ll come across a girl. Go up several
more ledges until you come to the middle of the volcano.

Make your way through the volcano until you get to a zone where it looks like a
modern lab setting. The far right door is locked, and the party realizes they
need to find a switch. On route to the far left door, the middle door has some
organisms – talk to them, then proceed to the far left door (there’s a
heal/save spot on the lower left part of this room). In the next room, look
around and get all the boxes, and when you’re done, go to the upper right hand
corner, beyond the pillar, and you’ll see a computer box – go to it and trigger
the switch. Now go back to the first floor where the door was locked, and you’ll
have a boss fight. Go back and talk to the organisms in the middle room, and
then exit the dungeon (you can use RAY or MAI's DRIVE magic).

Outside, you’ll come across another boss fight, and run across the cat gang,
and find out why this group was after NYAN. The boss of the group, BURAKKI, has
been catnapped by GARUDO, and you’ll have to go rescue him on YOUSEI island.
You probably want to use the weapons special effects attack (TOKUSHU KOUGEKI –
third attack option) on most of the enemies on this island. Have RAY use HANOU
NO KEN’s attack (FREIYA 2), and DAIGO use FUUJIN NO KEN’s attack (BLOW IN 2).

This is the last maze, and I won’t say much more, but you’ll find out how some
of the characters between all the Cosmic Fantasy world are connected.
