Star Control 3 Walkthrough
uploaded by Randy Johnson

Please note: The game can be one in many different orders. The first time I
played the game through, I followed a different order to win the game, and
even skipped a few things. Also, be aware that somethings in the game are
time based, and appear a certain number of days after you have completed a
certain task. If you can't progress, save the game, and wait a few game
days and see if anything happens.

proceed to Helios 4 and fight with the Daktaklakpak. Take the artifact
there.

the ships there.

a bit. Maybe not.) Be prepared to fight a long battle!

Go to Janus 8. Confront the Mycon about their deep children. This happens
after the Earthlings find out about the Mycon. (Time related, I think) Go

will leave the league, so pull Mycon off the Deep Child ship to start a new
colony.

Go to Formalhaut 5. The Utwig have lost their Ultron. (Time related...)

Go to Goshen 4. The cowardly Spathi will quit the league. Come back, and

different things, even though you've said the same line before.

broken.

then return to gain information from them.

Plexor arrives, then talk with him.

After the Arilou tell you to, go to Izanagi 5, and ally with the Vyro-Ingo.
After you get the Vyro-Ingo DNA model (time related), take it to the Lk at
Azazel. They will tell you some stuff on it.
Go back to Izanagi 5, and talk to the Vyro-Ingo about the DNA.
Wait until the Vux DNA is discovered. Go back the Lk, and ask them how to
join the two. Join the DNA, and show it to the Vyro-Ingo. Take some of
their ships, and go to Salacia. Select a Vyro-Ingo ship and send it to
Salacia 2. The two races will join together. Go to Salacia 2 and talk with

Sun Device from the Lk. (Note: I don't think you have to revive the Chmmr
to win the game)

Find a Daktaklakpak ship and talk with them. Let them come to you. After
one game day, if they're not moving, they won't come. If you come to them,
they will attack. Some systems where they come to you are: Penates, Themis,
Scylla, and Lachesis. Trade with them for the Variance Key.

Go to Begregren 2. Wait until you get a message about the Ortogs from the
Earthlings.

Go to Zosma 6, and ask the XChagger for an Ortog.

Go to Begregren 2, and use the Variance key. You should get the Deflector,
and the Sentience Notation Device. You can give the Deflector to the Lk, I
don't see what good it's for. Nothing happened when I neglected giving it
to them, though.

Go to Anshar 3, you can get the Exquivans to join you.
