How to Increase Your Spell Count in Cat Quest 3

When you start your journey you only have one spell slot. But as you explore the map, you can find up to four Mana Crystals. These crystals let you cast more spells before needing to recharge.

  • Mana Crystals refill over time as you fight enemies with melee and ranged attacks. Once a crystal is full you can cast another spell. But remember you’re stuck with just one slot until you find more.

Getting more spell slots is all about finding a mysterious character named Aelius. Each time you encounter Aelius you’ll have a strange vision. When you wake up you’ll have a new mana crystal and spell slot!

There are three Aelius encounters to find in the game. Let’s break down where to look for each one:

First Spell Slot Upgrade

Your first chance to boost your spell count comes early in the game. Head to an island called Furtigua. It’s just south of Meowtallika Bay if that helps you find it on the map.

On Furtigua look for the Orion Ruins dungeon. Aelius will be standing to the left of the ruins’ entrance. Talk to them to trigger the vision and get your second spell slot.

Second Spell Slot Upgrade

The exact location of the second Aelius encounter is a bit fuzzy. But here’s what we know:

Look for the largest island in the Twilight Isles chain. On this island search near a treasure chest and a guidepost. Aelius should be waiting there to give you your third spell slot.

Third Spell Slot Upgrade

The final spell slot upgrade is tied to the story’s progress. You’ll need to collect all three keys to unlock the Volcano Mountain dungeon entrance at the Sunset Isles.

Once you have the keys Aelius will appear disguised as a purple parrot at Fort Beakon. This is where you normally save your game or connect to co-op. Talk to the odd-looking bird to get your fourth and final spell slot.

Now that you know how to increase your spell count let’s talk about using them effectively:

  1. Experiment with different spell combinations. Mix and match to find powerful synergies.
  2. Equip spells that match your playstyle. If you prefer ranged combat focus on those types of spells.
  3. Pay attention to the order you equip spells. This determines which buttons or keys cast each spell.
  4. Don’t forget to equip new spells after getting more slots!
  5. Use your increased spell count to tackle tougher enemies and explore dangerous areas.

Remember to grab that final spell slot from Aelius before entering Volcano Mountain for the big finale. You don’t want to miss out on extra magical firepower for the final boss!

With these tips, you’ll be slinging spells left and right in no time. The Pi-rats won’t know what hit them! Enjoy your magical adventures in the world of Cat Quest 3.
