Alright, so I was messing around in Cat Quest 3 today, right? Trying to find all the secrets and whatnot. Ended up spending a good chunk of time hunting for that third Golden Tower Key. Man, what a pain!

First off, I cruised around the map for like, forever. Just sailing, exploring every little island, hoping to stumble upon something. Kept checking my map against some online guides, but honestly, those things can be kinda vague sometimes. It’s all “go to this area,” but doesn’t tell you exactly where.
So, I remembered that the Golden Keys often have some kind of puzzle or mini-dungeon guarding them. Started paying closer attention to the islands that looked a bit… different. You know, the ones with maybe a weird arrangement of enemies, or a suspicious-looking building.
I hit this one island, can’t remember the exact name now, but it had a bunch of those annoying pirate rats hanging around. Nothing special at first glance. But I noticed one section had a slightly different floor texture. Felt like it was hiding something. So I started whacking at the floor with my sword, just in case.
And bam! A secret passage opened up! Inside was a little challenge room with a bunch of those spinning laser traps. You gotta time your dodges perfectly to get through. Took me a few tries, I ain’t gonna lie, but eventually I got the hang of it.
At the end of the laser room, there was a chest. Figured it had to be the key, right? Opened it up, and sure enough, there it was! The third Golden Tower Key! Finally!

Here’s the breakdown of what I learned:
- Explore EVERYTHING. Don’t just stick to the main questline. Get out there and sail around.
- Look for anomalies. Anything that seems out of place could be a clue. Different floor textures, suspicious enemy placements, weird buildings.
- Don’t be afraid to whack stuff. Seriously. Sometimes the game hides secrets in plain sight.
- Patience is key. These things take time. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t find it right away.
Honestly, finding that key was way more satisfying than just buying it from a shop or something. It felt like I actually earned it. Now I can finally get into that Golden Tower and see what’s inside. Wish me luck!
Hopefully, this helps anyone else struggling to find that third key. Happy cat questing!
