Side missions | Walkthrough Lost Planet 3 Guide

Check out new merchandise.

This side mission activates after you complete the second mission and return to the HQ. You simply need to visit the quartermaster in the Hangar (it is located on level 1) and check what he has new in stock.

Visit doctor Kovac. Collect the samples of 20 sepias.

Doctor Kovac is conducting his experiments in the Lab on level 3 of the Hangar.

Kovac's lab is in the Hangar on level three, behind the barracks. The doctor will task you with the collection of samples of 20 sepias. You will find them without any problems in most locations. Return to the Doctor to receive 2000 T-Energies.

Remove ice from cranes.

As you enter the Bailey's Crossing for the first time, you will receive information from Braddock about the ice-bound cranes. They are located right next to the central platform. You can start them with the mech. Then dismount the machine and fix the pumps. For this "complicated" action, you will receive 2500T-energies.

Use the DNA probe on an akrid.

Collecting the DNA will enrich the bestiary.

This mission becomes active when you receive a special DNA probe from Doctor Romane which you can use to sample the akrid genetic codes. To learn more, see Bestiary.

Use the thermal energy sensor.

A place for a post in an akrid nest.

This mission becomes active after you bring Ola a component in one of the main missions. You receive a device that will help you find, with audio signals, a suitable location for a thermal station. To complete this mission, you need to determine 5 suitable locations for such stations. The first one is on the Shackleton's Peak, in the spot in which you collect DNA for Romane.

The spot for a post is on the rocky ledge in the Bishop's Wake.

You can establish another station in the Bishop's Wake. Right after you enter this location, use the hoist to get to the rocky ledge on the right.

Among akrids once again.

Another spot where you can establish a station is Pickett's Folly. Go into the Western part of the map and use the magnetic hook to make it into the hidden cave.

You are going to need a good hoist to set up the fourth station.

You can set up the fourth station in the Killing Fields. You are going to need the improved hoist (which you can obtain from Ola). After you enter the location, still before you enter the Forgotten Camp, you will be able to use the hoist to make it onto the scarp on the right.

Watch out because there is a herd of gonroes around.

You can set up the last station in the cave which the narrow corridor in the Bailey's Crossing leads to. You will receive 3000 T-energies for setting up all of the posts.

NOTE: All of the abovementioned stations, and the one in the Diaz Cavern can be emptied to receive 2500 T-energies each time. Whenever you can harvest a given post, you will be notified about that with an appropriate entry in your journal.

Collect DNA samples from 10 rare albino taarkas.

A shop in the Forgotten Camp where you exchange taarka DNA for upgrades.

A detailed description of how to activate this mission, and how to find all the taarkas, has been included in the Albino Taarkas chapter.

Fix the pipeline.

Fixing the pipeline used to transfer gas from Russia is one of the most important missions in the game.

The mission becomes available after you receive a blowtorch from Ola, at the entrance to the Shackleton's Peak. Simply, approach the marked pipeline and weld close all of the cracks by directing the blowtorch's flame in the correct way. You will receive 2000 T-energies.

Find the mementos.

The place where you find the Silver Flask.

You will receive the task in the Forgotten Camp from Soichi. The first memento is a Silver Flask belonging to Juro Katsuragi. You will find it in the Marshall's Gorge, where you will reach the rocky ledge using the winch from your mech. Continue exploring inside, until you reach a place where you will be able to use the magnetic hook. You will get into a room where you will find the memento on a soldier's corpse.

Checkmate.

Knight Chess Piece left by Lagan Cherupara is at the Power Plant. It is in the room with many platforms in it. At the highest level, you will notice a hole in the wall on the right. You will get there using the magnetic hook.

The dog tags are next to the edge.

Another memento are the Rusty Dog Tags, that belonged to Lt. Mason Pickett. You will, of course find them at the Pickett's Folly. Make your way to the rocky ledge using the hoist in your mech. Then, walk over to through the pipe and use the magnetic hook to make it onto the top of the tower. Jump down to a ledge, where there are the mementos.

A touching moment.

The last memento is the Gold Brooch left by Silvia Herrera. In the main room of the Security Installation, you will find a place where you can use the magnetic hook. The memento is in the room that you fall into. It is also a good idea to turn your attention to the weapon that you can find here.

After you return to Soichi you will receive an upgrade to your suit.
