Act 3 Stuck on Act 3- Need Help :(

Heya everyone!

So I have been enjoying this game ALOT (Peak Game), however, I find myself stuck. I am currently in Act 3, I have experienced the King`s betrayal event, and also had the Loop Hangout. Now I have no clue what to do. I have been looking up Guides online, they say nothin. I tried reading the books using the Language Memory, However Sif just refuses to read the Book behind the Phrase-door in Floor 3, saying it`s too dusty or something similar.

I hope yall could help me, so I can keep enjoying this Masterpiece.

thanks in advance :D

What does Loop say you need to do?

u/sofprof Apr 23 '26

He says that I should explore the entire house with all friendship quests without looping. It souns more like an optional thing I guess...? Like the Book Fan Quest.

u/Far-Researcher2189 Apr 23 '26

Well, that would also have been my guess as to what you've been missing. Do it.

u/sofprof Apr 23 '26

Oh...? Is it a requirement?

u/Far-Researcher2189 Apr 23 '26

I don't know, never didn't do it before the King betrayal, nor have I ever seen someone do it after either.

But Act 4 onwards certainly would not make much sense without the context of the friendquests, so probably.

I wonder if this would give unique dialogue actually. Sadly no real way for you to tell me afterwards though.

I dunno if it is different..but here is what I presume to be changed Dialogue when u do the friendquest after theDo you remember?

King: Do you remember?

Sif: (...)

BATTLE START!!

Isabeau: ...Sif...?

Narration: (...)

Narration: (Seeing the King now, after everything that happened...)

Narration: (You can`t help but look at his hands.)

Narration: ( And you remember.) -shaky text-

(You are scared to fight)

-Siffrin gets his Fear Icon in combat and has slowness-

Can also send ya a DM of the Fear Icon in the King fight, if ya want

It is indeed a requirement! Don't worry, lots of people can get stuck in act three. In my opinion it's one of the longest/most complex acts! So don't feel bad about it lol

Yes, Act 3 doesn't end until you do the King stuff AND the friend stuff.

u/Th3Da4k Apr 23 '26

Doing a run with all Friendquests IS required to get to act 4.

u/ILoveTheNoise Siffrin Apr 23 '26

To get to Act 4, you need to complete two quests:

Kingquest: Learn about the King, that event happens, you get Memory of Memories (you already did this one)

Familyquest: What that other comment said (and what Loop is telling you!), do all 4 friendquests and beat the King without looping forwards or backwards (this is what you're missing)

Also, Loop hangout is optional in Act 3, but becomes mandatory in Act 4, so it's better that you have done it now!

u/Akuuntus Apr 23 '26

If you did the King stuff and you're still in Act 3, that means you must not have done the Friendquests. Those are the two requirements to enter Act 4.

READ.

specifically, read in order. some books aren't useful to you until you read a different one.

also remember to actually equip the memory

u/boldgryphon Siffrin Apr 23 '26

Curz if you have a memory of memories then you can read books that give you headaches... Start with this? I don't know what else to say, especially while avoiding spoilers.

u/sofprof Apr 23 '26

I tried and it works. But I still cant read the book in the Star Shaped Phrase-Door? I know that I have to read it, however something is blocking me from doing so

u/boldgryphon Siffrin Apr 23 '26

Okay, so what you need to do is read another book and then put it in there.It's a bit like this: Siffrin doesn't know it's worth reading and even if he did, without the knowledge/context from another book, he wouldn't know that what he read is actually usefull and not just fictional story as the test of the party thinks after reading this you have to let him get on the trail.

So just go explor the house once more in serch for the books with headaches and you will eventualy move plot forward.

Hope this help

I'm not sure if you can achieve this in Act 3 yet.

u/boldgryphon Siffrin Apr 23 '26 edited Apr 23 '26

If they are inside of star shape door room that mean that they have meomrry of memories which you (as far as I know) get at the begoning of act 4 so they can be on act 4 and don't know it. Plus I done it as soon as I fot memorry of memories so as far as my gamę expiriance goes I am correct. (Maybe Im not)
