Breath of Fire 3 - Reaching the Oasis with Life Armor and Royal Sword

These are directions for getting from the Factory to the Oasis while picking up both the Life Armor and Royal Sword along the way. This can be done using the steps below*

*Just note that these directions have only been tested on the original Playstation version of the game and may not work in the PSP version.

1. From the Factory, walk NORTH for 2 full nights.
2. Walk WEST (4 left turns from north) until you find the Life Armor. This should occur after 2 and a half nights of walking.
3. Immediately after you get the Life Armor, walk NORTH to finish out the night.
4. Walk ENE (3 right turns from north) for 2 full nights.
5. Walk NORTH until you find the Royal Sword. This should occur after less than half a night of walking.
6. Immediately after you get the Royal Sword, walk EAST (4 right turns from north) to finish out the night.
7. Walk ENE (3 right turns from north) for 2 full nights.
8. Walk EAST until you reach the Oasis. This should occur after a half night of walking.

There is a shortcut you can use to reach the Life Armor instead of steps 1-2 above that saves one night of walking. However, this shortcut could be problematic depending on the type of screen you are playing on, so keep that in mind before using this shortcut:

- Begin by walking NORTH as usual.
- Immediately after you are prompted to drink water for the first time, walk NW (2 left turns from north) until the Evening Star disappears off the left side of your screen and is directly to the west. This should occur near the beginning of the third night.
- From here, walk WEST until you find the Life Armor, then follow steps 3-8 above.

Here are some tips to keep in mind when traveling in the desert:

- You can conserve water by walking for a while after being prompted to drink. This is necessary in order to make this long trip. You can take damage 4 times before you begin to temporarily lose your max HP. The beginning of the video shows how to do this.
- NEVER make camp and rest until the sun is fully risen and you are prompted to make camp. When you do get the prompt, make camp immediately without taking any extra steps.
- Whenever you break camp or exit a battlefield, make sure you check the stars and make sure you are facing the right direction before you begin walking again.
- Sometimes you'll get unlucky and will be forced into a third battlefield just as the sun is rising. If you exit a battlefield and cannot see the stars, you can use the clouds to orient yourself. If you don't remember the position of the clouds, your best bet is to walk forward until the night is over.

Befor the sun rise and you have been in a battlefield, when u exit, you can also use the Sand's wave direction. its usually facing West with its waves.... That's what I know. and I do.. BUt still I cant find ROyal sword... What should i do when i begin in Oasis??

tnkx!

@awit00 My directions from the Oasis are:

1) Face 1 turn left of due WEST and walk for exactly 3 nights.

2) Face due WEST and walk until you find it, which should be about 1 night.

Or you can use the old man's directions (IIRC it's 1 night SOUTH and 4 nights WEST). My directions have worked 100% of the time for me, although much like this video, some people can't seem to get either set to work. This problem has existed for years, and I honestly don't know what's wrong :(

I miss this game IT WAS AMAZING!

[duzaodu]

@DavidK519 this is what was in doubt, do the directions to get there, how many nights I get there? 7?

[DavidK519]

@duzaodu There are Speed Boots in the desert as well. To get them you have to start from the Factory and just walk EAST until you find them (it takes several nights to get there, though).

[duzaodu]

@DavidK519 I already knew that! means that there is no "Speed​Boots" in the desert was just a bluff?

[DavidK519]

@duzaodu Search youtube for "speed run part 44 by davidk5". The location of the Speed Boots in the Steel Grave are shown at 4:15 of that video.

[duzaodu]

@yamibalus you would set up a video showing where the gap is, do not really know how to find, thanks for the tip!!

[yamibalus]

@TheIrishEnigma You did something wrong then... it worked perfectly the way he said for me. Though I messed up slightly the first 3 times and finally got it down perfectly on the 4th try

[yamibalus]

@duzaodu They're in the Junk Heap place before you get to the Colony on the other side of the world. You'll see wreckage of what looks like an airplane. If you stick right going in from the Kombinat side they'll be in a chest tucked into a slot on the left that only Ryu sized people can enter. there will be like a sloped area on your left with a 1 person wide gap in it.... can't really explain it much better, but they're in that gap

[yamibalus]

@DavidK519 a few steps in the wrong direction can really mess it up... to be honest I had to do your directions from the factory about 4 times before I got them completely right.... though when I did get to the Life Armor I saved to make sure I could keep going from there since I did THAT part right that took 2 tries to get to.

[duzaodu]

how do I find the speed boots?
