He will go and unlock the Library

Head out of the Cathedral, and go through town to the top

In this zone, go to the second door on the left, the Library

Talk to everyone in the library, then lastly the Librarian.

A bunch of scenes will play out.

You will then become Rose, walk up through the town and a scene will play

Now you will be Meru, go through the tunnel and use the portal.

Follow the path up and a few more scenes will play

You will become Dart, head back to the entrance of town where you will run in to Rose

And once again, talking scenes and movies happen a plenty.

Go back to the throne room and out the door to the right

Shana will lose her Dragoon Spirit, and surprise, Miranda in the new White-Silver Dragoon

Another scene and you will be outside Shana's room in the castle.

Go back inside and get the chest with the Holy Ankh

Get it now, because it will become unavailable soon

Head out of the room, castle and town and head back to the Evergreen Forest

Evergreen Forest
Items: Body Purifier, Darkness Stone, Depetrifier, Destone Amulet, 500g (whatever you left)

Follow the path and go right, the way you came.

From there go along the right path, were you first saw Teo and Kamuy on the hill.

Go out the path to the top

Keep going up and Meru will open the way to the Wingly city

Neet (optional)

Stardust: 1

Wingly Forest

Stardusts: 2

Go through the tunnel and use the teleporter like you did as Meru, continue up

Follow the path and talk to the Wingly waiting there, he will fly you to the next level

Go into the building and go to the two portals on the right, take the bottom one

Go into the portal to the right, a scene will play out, continue out the door, where another wingly will take you up another level

Go into the building, and after a lot of talking, you will be sent to the Forbidden Land

Forbidden Land

Items: Dancer's Shoes, Mind Crush, Mind Purifier, Power Up, Spectral Flash

Follow the path up into the city

Continue following the path, until you find a portal onto a platform.

There will be these platforms with portals for most of the area.

Follow the platform to the next portal

Follow platform through the door

Go to the right, and out the door at the bottom right

Go through the portal

Go through the second portal to the far left.

Go through the portal at the bottom, and keep going through the next ones, until you exit through the top

You will appear next to a pink pad for healing and a save point. Here the path splits into two.

One will be more straight forward, but you will have to fight the optional boss Super Virage

The other will take you around him, but will be more walking

-

This is the way without fighting the Super Virage, take the portal to your right

You will be in a room, with 5 red circles on the ground.

Each circle will have a Spinning Head spawn and try to attack you

They make large leaps, so if you stay moving you should be able to avoid them all

Go and use each of the circle, Dart will stab them, and they will turn blue, and lower on of the barriers blocking the door, and the Spinning Head that spawns from it will disappear

Go through the door when you have disabled them all.

In this next area you will be rock hopping.

Jump on the first rock, and hop off on the first stop above you

You should have jumped onto another rock.

Get off at the platform and run right to the rock there

This rock will fall down and you will jump off

Go to the next rock and it will fall down as well.

Follow the platform to another rock that will fall

Run off to the right, jump onto the last rock and through the portal

Run down the spiral ramp to the bottom and go through the portal

Boss time

Boss Fight: Grand Jewel

This is a tougher fighter, because you can't go into Dragoon form for more then a single turn. If you do the boss will use the Dragon Block Staff which reduces the power of Dragoons considerably. Hit him with your strongest attacks immediately, as he will level your characters down, which will reduce your attack power. He does he himself for a quarter health when he gets into red. Just keep at him and he will go down. Albert with the Twister Glaive, as the boss is earth base, works well.

Go back to entrance and leave the place. Ancestor Blano will transport you to Deningrad because the Divine Dragon has attacked

-

-

This is the was to go through the Super Virage, go straight up the path from the save point.

You come into a room with several portals and pictures above them

The pictures represent a species, and you need to go through the portals in the order of their fruits.

First: go to the far right- represents all the beginning species that are tiny and the like.

Second: the far left- the gigantos the 97th species

Third: third from the left- the minitos the 99th species

Fourth: third from the right- the dragons the 105th species

Fifth: second from the right- humans the 106th species

Sixth: second from the left- winglies the 107th species

Each should turn blue, if done in the correct order, and an elevator like thing comes down when it is complete. Take the portal inside.

Run to the next couple of portals.

A scene will play and the Super Virage will attack

Boss time

Boss Fight: Super Virage

There are two strategies for this fight. Beat his head silly, and make sure you have nearly full HP when he dies, or simply wait and guard as his 10 lives run out and he will die without any damage needed. Just make sure you have high HP's because when he dies, he unleashes a powerful damage to all characters.

After this, the way forward will be open.

Head down the spiral ramp down to the bottom and go through the portal.

This will take you to the boss as well

-

Deningrad

Stardusts: 5

You will appear at the entrance of Deningrad

Make your way to the Crystal Palace.

Go to the throne room, there is severe damage, so some stairways you now have to walk around.

Shana will be there having protected the queen.

A lot of talking will be done, ending with you outside of the inn.

Head over to the Evergreen Forest, you're going to the Mountain of Mortal Dragon

Mountain of Mortal Dragon

Items: Attack Ball, Body Purifier, Dragon Helm, Flash Hall, Giganto Armour, Gravity Grabber, Healing Breeze, Mind Purifier x2, Speed Down, Total Vanishing

In the Evergreen Forest follow the path up, and along the second path around to where the guard is.

Talk to the guard and follow the path behind him

Head on over to the Mountain

Follow the path up two screens

Head up the path to the left

Go up the path up to the left again

Get the chest right next to where you come out, it contains the Dragon Helm

Now follow the path around the mountain

Follow the path up three screens

Lloyd has beaten you here, but you jump in anyway. Silly

Boss time

Boss Fight: Divine Dragon

Magic items seem to hit him hard, so I hope you brought some. Otherwise just make sure you don't go into Dragoon form at all. Unless it's to cast healing magic, or to get rid of fear, but never more then one turn. And when his Dragon Canon hits countdown one, you may want to just guard. Also, there are technically three parts to the dragon, and although you only need to kill the main section, killing off the other two you may get a nice item, or at least, make some of his more powerful moves unusable.

When you have beaten Lloyd, go after him off the mountain, all the way back to Deningrad's throne room

He has taken the queen, you must now go after him

Go to the Kashua Glacier, it's to the opposite side of the Evergreen Forest on the world map.

Kashua Glacier

Items: Black Rain, Brass Knuckle, Dancing Ray, Fatal Blizzard, Gushing Magma, Heat Blade, Heavy Mace, Mage Ring, Meteor Fall, Phoenix Plume, Spirit Ring, Thunderbolt

Although the first path winds a bit, there is really only one way to go

In the next screen, follow the path to the middle path downward, if you try to go the other way Miranda will tell you off, so you can only go that way.

Go down off the next screen.

In the next area you will be sliding down the different icicles to the bottom.

Go down the first icicle

Now down the one on the right

Up the next two on the right

Down the next right

Down the next left

Go down the remaining icicles and out through the bottom

Up the rock path in the next area, and you will get attacked by a monster

Boss time

Boss Fight: Windigo

Extremely easy, just hit with fire repeatedly, and after he spits out the character hit his heart, and you will be fine.

Continue on up to the right into the tower.

You need to go into the portal on the left

In the first orb, go into the first portal on your right

In the next orb go to the second on the right

Go to the only portal in the next room

Go into the only other portal in the orb

In the next orb go to the top portal

Go up into the tower, Lloyd will have just taken the Moon Mirror

Boss time

Boss Fight: Lloyd

Lloyd can be difficult. Remember, he does have the Dragon Buster, so staying in Dragoon form, can be lethal. You can counteract this by equipping someone with the Talisman you found in Disc 2. Not only can that person become a Dragoon, but Lloyd will focus all his attention on using a 1-hit kill move, that will not work. This works well.

After the fight, you will be at the bottom of the tower

Head out of Kashua Glacier, and out the path to the upper left that Miranda previously would not let you go to and head for the Snowfield

Snowfield

Items: Armour of Yore, Burn Out, Burning Wave, Dancer's Ring, Gushing Magma, Magic Shield, Midnight Terror, Panic Bell, Poison Needle, Smoke Ball, Stunning Hammer

Go to the far left here, there will be a scene where you enter a small cave halfway through, using the fire pit will fully heal your characters.

In the next area there is a sign at the bottom left of the screen, going to close to it will cause you to slide down the hill.

-

The next section will be to describe how to get to an optional area and boss fight

Go down next to the slide. 

On the way down, you have the chance to get two different items by hitting use at the appropriate times.

For one, hit it on the First, Third, and Fourth chance

For the other, hit it on the Second, and Fourth chance.

At the bottom, go to the top of the screen

Follow the path down to the fort.

The sword will jump out of the stone in the fort and attack

Boss time

Boss Fight: Polter Armour, Polter Helm, and Polter Sword

The three all need to be defeated. Take out the sword first, as when it dies, it casts a 1-hit kill before leaving, and can cast it randomly throughout the fight. Next take out the Armour, as it does the magic damage and can be quite powerful. Finally take out the Helm. All it does is block a different action, and really is nothing more then annoying.

When you have defeated the boss, go back up the path, and out the bottom right.

You will find yourself on a long winding path, up back out to the main area, where the sign is.

-

Now exit through the top, and off to Vellweb with you

Vellweb

Items: Attack Ball, Rose's Hair Band, Spirit Potion

Stardust: 1

Vellweb is extremely straight forward.

Keep following the single path, until Rose stops and tells you a bit about the past

From here keep going up and to the left.

In the next area, Shirley will tell you about the four Dragoons that died during the big battle. (Zieg was petrified, which isn't technically dead)

She asks you to put them to rest, when you have time. (Easiest once you get your "wings", which is where I will put them in anyways.)

Continue on to the left

Follow the winding stairway to the third door and exit.

Go down to the door below you.

There will be a lengthy scene, and a lot will happen

Congratulations you have just finished Disc 3
