After this event, move to the Leeve’s Chapel for an event. As you leave, Rean will notice a kid dropping his card. Head to the Bookstore, and speak to the kids. They will introduce you to a mini-game.

Vantage Master is the official card mini-game for Cold Steel 3. The rule of the game is simply to defeat the opponent’s master card. Defeating the opponent’s master card is much tougher than it sounds, as your opponent can summon cards that will protect its master or use them to attack yours. Using the diagram above, you can see the card’s status. Cards can be placed anywhere and can only move and attack once per turn. Each card requires Mana to summon, so make sure you have chosen the correct card. When you have used up your Mana, you can pass your turn by pressing Triangle.

With each passing turn, you will gain additional Mana, allowing you to bring out stronger cards. Cards also contain an element type that can give you an advantage versus the correct element. The chart as follows: Earth>Water>Fire>Sky>Earth.

Winning against your opponent will usually give you a new card for Vantage Master. You can even rearrange your deck for later battles. To challenge someone at Vantage Master, press the R2 button when speaking to people (Only when the option appears).

Defeating Opponents in Vantage Master will give you a new Vantage Master Card. If you have collected every card by defeating all opponents in Vantage Master, you can challenge the final opponent for the Chevalier Master Quartz later in the game.

Note: There is an opponent later in the game that requires winning to get Bonus AP. If you don’t want to miss any AP, it is recommended that you put some time into Vantage Master and learn how to play it.

There is also a fishing spot on the northeast side of town. If you have visited the general store from earlier, you should have the fishing rod with you.
