Many quests have bonus prizes and secret side missions you can undertake. Information about various secrets that players have discovered over the years is available below.
Please be cautious when sharing this information with new players. Some people like to discover things on their own, and once you know all the secrets a game has to offer, you can never enjoy the experience of discovering something new again. You may wish to think twice before reading everything below...
General Information
These topics apply to multiple quests.
Super Hard Mode
Super Hard mode contains a kill-tracking side quest. The enemies you kill are counted towards a goal of 1 million kills, with a reward of 3 Photon Spheres for every 25000 kills you get. The details are:
The Megid levels and EDK requirements to survive various enemies' attacks in Super Hard mode are listed below.
Online
Offline
Lucky Coins
Certain quests award Lucky Coins when you complete them. You can spend these coins in Garon's Shop to play the Lucky Roulette minigame. Lucky Coins are stored on the server on a per-class basis, and the 100-coin cap no longer applies. The following quests award Lucky Coins:
You will receive 1 coin on Normal, Hard, and Very Hard modes. You will receive multiple coins in Ultimate mode, depending on the quest, the number of players in the team, and whether you played Super Hard mode. You can also get Lucky Coins in Garon's Shop by winning multiple prizes in a row at the slot machine.
Updated Quests
These are original Sega quests that I've modified over the years, including quests brought over from Blue Burst.
Garon's Shop
Lucky Roulette
I've made many changes to Lucky Roulette, including:
The new prizes for each figure are:
The weapons you can win from Nol are based on your class and will have 10-80% Hit in increments of 10. The weapons you can win are:
Hunter
Ranger
Force
Slot Machine
The slot machine has three prize tiers that align with the three Meseta tiers. The items you can win in each tier are:
The weapons you can win are:
Weapons will have 5-40% on Hit, and all weapons are available to all character classes. When you win a weapon, it will come as a present using a random wrapping paper, including the next one you need to unlock. You then have the option of taking the present to Zidd to unlock that wrapping paper before you open it, assuming it's the wrapping paper he wants.
You will also receive a Lucky Coin whenever you win multiple times in a row. If you don't win one of the prizes listed above, you'll receive a consolation prize of a Monomate, Meseta, or Garon points, instead.
Fragments of a Memory

Today's Rate
The side quest for converting monster parts into equippable items has been restored. This feature was originally available in V2, but Sega removed it in V3, thus greatly lowering the incentive to play this quest. As in V2, your goal is to locate the microchip on Ragol and give it to Dr. Montague in exchange for a weapon conversion. Unlike in offline mode, weapons converted in this quest will receive random percentages. The specifics of monster part conversions are:
Other changes to the quest include:
Towards the Future
Quest Completion Prizes
The prize system has been rebalanced. The new prizes are:
If you've already received an SS-Rank prize on Ultimate, you'll get a Monogrinder, instead.
Super Hard Bosses
To activate the secret Super Hard boss mode, have all players enter the Principal's Office, and then talk to the left desk. If you defeat all the bosses and complete the quest, you'll receive 6 Photon Crystals.
Maximum Attack 1 & 2 Ver.3
You will receive Weapons Bronze Badges for playing these quests in Ultimate mode. The number of badges you earn scales based on the number of players in the team. You can trade your badges with the Weapons member on Pioneer 2. The possible trades are:
You will receive a different prize each time you reach 3 Gold Badges. The prizes are:
Each shield's item description displays the Guild Card number of the person who earned it. If you've already gotten all three shields, you'll receive 5 Photon Drops, instead.
Maximum Attack 3
Prizes are awarded when you reach 10000, 25000, and 50000 points. The prizes are the same as in offline Challenge mode, as it's difficult to find people to play splitscreen with, and most releases of PSOv3 don't have offline Episode II Challenge mode at all. The prizes are:
Episode I
Episode II
Your score resets back to 0 points after you receive a prize, so you can start building your points again.
New Quests
These are Altimira-exclusive quests that I've created.
Prospective Horizons
Super Hard Mode
This was the first quest I made that contains a special difficulty setting. As such, the process for activating Super Hard mode is different in this quest. The team creator must have completed the offline quest Journalistic Pursuit in order for you to activate Super Hard mode. Proceed to the Principal's Office and talk to the FOmarl there. She will give you a Technician Access Code that you can use with the terminal in Mine 1. Select the Updates option at the terminal and input the code to enable Super Hard mode.
Christmas Catastrophe
Quest Completion Prizes
You will receive a weapon from Melvin upon beating the quest. Weapons will have a random special attack and Hit percentage, depending upon the difficulty level:
This gives you the opportunity to get weapons with useful special attacks that don't drop from monsters. The weapon will also be wrapped as a present using the next wrapping paper you need to unlock, so you can show the present to Zidd in Garon's Shop before you open it if you want to unlock more wrapping paper types. If you've already unlocked every wrapping paper type, you'll receive a random wrapping paper, instead.
Christmas Cards
You can get a Christmas Card in Ultimate mode. Complete the quest, then proceed through a fake wall in the Northwest corner of the final room in Mine 2 and talk to the computer there. You will receive a Christmas Card if your team hasn't died too many times. The maximum number of allowed deaths is:
If you bring 3 Christmas Cards to Phil (the boy standing next to the Principal's Office), he will give you a Christmas Present.
Frantic Fauna
Hungry Rappy
After you disarm the probe, you can find a Rappy waiting for you in a nearby room. He will send you on a mission to find mushrooms, which are growing somewhere in Forest 2. If you find some mushrooms for him, he will give you a feather that you can exchange with the fashion-obsessed lady on Pioneer 2 to get an Easter Egg weapon. In Normal, Hard, and Very Hard modes, you will receive a random weapon. In Ultimate mode, you get to pick the weapon you want. The possible prizes are:
Normal, Hard, Very Hard
Ultimate
The percentages your weapon receives are randomly generated. The possible percentages are:
Weapons Side Quest: Sil Dragon
You can undertake an additional side quest in Ultimate mode if the team creator is a member of Weapons, i.e. if the team creator has obtained Akiko's Frying Pan from the offline quests. You can speak to the Weapons member by the bank to check your eligibility. If you're eligible, have all players shrink before you disarm the probe, then approach the large red door near the final computer console in Forest 2. If everybody inserts their Key Cards, you'll be able to fight the Sil Dragon. If you succeed, you'll be rewarded with a Weapons Iron Badge. Show the badge to the Weapons member on Pioneer 2, and you'll receive Wok of Akiko's Shop with randomly generated percentages.
Halloween Horror
This quest contains doors that won't unlock simply from killing enemies. You must find and attack hidden switches in each area to open them. The switch positions are:
Attacking these buttons will unlock an extra door in their respective areas. Go through the bonus doors to press pink door switches that unlock a 2-player door in Ruins 3. Go through this Ruins 3 door and turn around to find the final button just above the door.
In Ultimate mode, activating this button will open the door to Dark Falz. If you win the battle, you'll receive Unknown Residue that you can trade with the scientist on Pioneer 2 for a Jack-O'-Lantern.
The quest also has randomised switches that will force you to fight either in darkness or in poisonous fog if you activate the wrong one. Something in the quest will change to tell you which switch is the correct one to press...
Acrid Aquifer
This quest contains optional 2-player doors in each area. If you defeat the extra monsters, you'll find laser fence switches that open the path to Dal Ra Lie in Ultimate mode. Defeating Dal Ral Lie will increase the number of Photon Crystals you receive when you complete the quest.
