Adventure Books Side Quest - Wild Arms 3
The Adventure Books side quest starts by speaking with Clive's daughter Kaitlyn in the town of Humphrey's Peak. You'll need to be in control of Clive when you speak with his daughter to start this side quest. The first time you talk with Kaitlyn she'll give you Adventure Book 1 which is the first book involved in this quest.
For this quest you're tasked with obtaining 9 books throughout the game - most of the books are found in dungeons and are well hidden. Below you'll find a list of every single book that we need to collect for this quest along with some information about where to obtain it.
Book 1: Speak with Kaitlyn in Humphrey's Peak while in control of Clive
Book 2: This book is found in the Fortune Gear dungeon. From the entrance of this dungeon keep going north until you pass the first L shaped and puzzle room. In the 2nd L shaped room there will be a door along the northern wall, the room will have 3 treasure chests and one of them will contain Adventure Book 2.
Book 3: Found in the Infinitum dungeon. Keep going straight from the entrance until you reach the room where you have to move the 4 blocks with Clive's Mighty Glove to proceed. Move the Mighty Blocks away from the wall then place a bomb next to the wall to blow it up. You'll find Adventure Book 3 inside this room along with 3 other treasure chests.
Book 4: In Nidhogg Pass you will find a weak bridge that you have to tip-toe across in order to cross it without it breaking. Stand in the middle of this bridge and make it collapse to find a hidden ledge with a Duplicator door. Open the door and you'll find Adventure Book 4 inside of this room.
Book 5: World's Footprint, the final boss you fight in this dungeon will drop the book. It's a book you get while progressing through the main story.
Book 6: Fila del Fia, in the room with the weak floor that you have to tip-toe across you'll find a crack in the wall near the northern exit. The crack can be hard to see since it's a metal wall and it looks like part of the terrain; it's located just behind the white crystals that restore your ECN Gauge. Inside this room you'll find 3 chests one of which will contain Adventure Book 6.
Book 7: Dim Root Path, this book is pretty easy to find, towards the end of the dungeon there will be a puzzle where you have to stack orange blocks with Clive's Mighty Glove then Galecrest across the gap. The chest with this book is found in a room with 3 treasure chests connected to this room.
Book 8: Demondor Pillar - Rear. In the early part of this dungeon when Clive is separated from your group you'll come across a room with worm pillars and a pair of chests that are on a ledge across a gap. You'll have to use Gallows' Steady Doll in order to open the chests in the distance, one of them will contain this book.
Book 9: Mimir's Well; During your first visit to this dungeon you won't be able to explore it. You'll have to come back after the cutscene and story events here to gather all the treasures. There is a block puzzle that you'll have to solve in order to get this Adventure Book - check out my Mimir's Well How to get Adventure Book 9 Youtube Video for a puzzle solution.
Book 10: Leyline Observatory; To get this book you'll need a Migrant Level of 18 or higher and a Duplicator. On the upper floor of Leyline Observatory you'll find an adult magazine on a shelf which you can use a Duplicator on and fight a boss. The boss will drop this book once defeated.
Book 11: Once you have books 1 - 10 in your possession talk to Clive's wife Catherine and she'll give you this one.
After collecting all 11 books and reading them to Kaitlyn you'll be rewarded with an EX File Key.
