Cat Quest III departs from the first two games of this light-hearted action-adventure series in a variety of ways, especially with its pirate-themed naval combat. Still, it also retains a lot of familiar gameplay mechanics and concepts that ensure if you played the previous games, youâll feel right at home. Whether youâre a returning player well-versed in Cat Questâs history, or youâre brand new to the franchise, weâve compiled a solid list of tips to help you get started in this feline-focused adventure.
Visit Lovepurr Castle ASAP for Healpaw Spell
Previously, gaining spells was just about buying them from a mysterious cavern. But this time out, there can sometimes be more to it. For instance, there are three missing Lovepurr Chronicle books, and youâll want to find them. As soon as you obtain your first Lovepurr Chronicle, head over to Lovepurr Islands on the northeastern side of the map and speak to Clawford inside Lovepurr Castle. Heâll be so elated to see that youâve brought one of the three missing books back to him that heâll grant you the Healpaw spell. This powerful healing spell is an invaluable tool you should keep equipped at all times.
Note: If you havenât found any Lovepurr Chronicles books yet, you can snag one in Lovepurr Cave directly north of Lovepurr Castle. Have we said âLovepurrâ enough times yet?
Hold off on upgrading your gear too early
Within an hour or so of playing Cat Quest III, youâre likely to stumble upon a smithy named Kidd Cat in Purvanna, who can upgrade your weapons, armor, and accessories in exchange for coins. However, since some of the gameâs opening battles arenât terribly difficult, itâs a good idea to play and explore for a few hours before investing many of your hard-earned coins in upgrades. This gives you time to discover new gear that may appeal to you far more than some of the earliest choices.
Synergize! Synergize! Synergize!
Speaking of gear, there are plenty of weapons, pieces of armor, accessories, and spells in Cat Quest III, and youâre obviously free to mix and match them any way youâd like. However, if you want to become an ultimate powerhouse, youâll want to equip synergetic items.
For instance, if you find that youâre enjoying being an agile and aggressive melee-based combatant, grab a fast weapon (such as a set of claws) and combine them with armor and accessories which boost your attack speed or power. Similarly, you can combine gear designed for specific types of magic to become a powerful sorcerer of sorts. Play around with what works best for you and go all in!
Check the accessory and ship menus every 5 to 10 levels
New levels come at a brisk pace in Cat Quest III, and reaching milestones brings expansion slots for your accessories and ship blueprints. As such, every time you reach a new level that is a multiple of five, head into the menu and check to see if youâve unlocked any fresh slots to equip an accessory or ship upgrade, so that youâre always getting the most out of what the game has to offer.
If youâre stuck, Lightmouse has you covered
In addition to Cat Quest IIIâs various star-topped obelisks that point you in the direction of your next main objective, thereâs someone helpful hanging out in the lighthouse in Pawt Purvanna. They go by the name âLightmouseâ, and theyâll happily give you insight into what you should be doing to progress, as well as offer up some useful tips about gameplay. If youâre ever feeling stuck, give Lightmouse a visit to see if they can give you a hand.
Thereâs no shortage of content to see in Cat Quest IIIâs 10 to 15 hours of feline pirate-themed gameplay, and we hope these tips gave you a head-start on your adventure. Now go hop in your ship and take to the high seas!
