Almost 20 years ago in 2007, I played this game on the Nintendo DS. While I finished it, I wasn’t very good at it and was never able to fully complete the game. At the time there were no easy guides to find and had to rely on Game FAQs to do it. Fast forward to 2026 for the Legacy Collection on Nintendo Switch: I’m better at this type of game now but there’s STILL a shortage of side quest guides that are to-the-point and not littered with extreme amounts of ads, so I decided to put one together myself. Here you go!

Deep Space
Location: Echo Ridge’s Vista Point
Reward: Kelvin Transer, K. Knuckle (mega weapon), Pegasus/Leo/Dragon Battle Chip, 100% Game Completion
Pulse into Vista Point’s wave portal, then go north and enter the new portal there which takes you into the Deep Space Challenge. You’re going to need a few things to beat it:
- You will need have beaten the SP forms of all the bosses, including the optional bosses
Boss Locations:
- Taurus Fire: Echo Ridge
- Harp Note: Vista Point
- Cygnus Wing: Boreal’s Office
- Libra Scales: Class 5‑A
- Queen Ophiuca: Time Square
- Gemini Spark: Dream Island Park
- Cancer Bubble: AMAKEN Foyer
- Wolf Woods: Event Area
- Couronne XIV: City Dump
- 5 Unlockers (Can buy in sign comp in Echo Ridge)
- 100 standard chips to get into Deep Space 2
- All 150 standard chips (some of them are going to be able to be bought in Deep Space 2, so save up your Zenny, or dropped from viruses there, so use the C. Finder weapon for Mega OR you can cheat like me by using the ciphers in this LINK. Be warned that some of the message ones were made for the DS and for the Switch you just type them out. Minor spelling differences like “Brother-Bands” was just “Brother Bands”)
- To get to the Kelvin Transer: either delete all your Brother Bands, or have the Lonely Heart found from a hidden passage on the Living Module Comp from the space station (Living Module hidden wave road path southeast-most jut out point). You talk to the Mr. Hertz there and answer “No”
- At the end of Deep Space 3, face your satellite admin as a boss to gain their Megachip. They’ll leave you with cryptic words: “Use it to kindle the 6 stars and conquer the truly lonely evil giant.”

The Lonely/Evil One
- So what you need to do now is to find and fight your satellite admin just like the other bosses, both EX and SP forms (pulse out after ex to bring out the SP form), and get BOTH CHIPS. Ex is easy, SP… not so much. Good luck. I didn’t get even close. So I cheated… with CIPHER email codes. Pegasus Magic SP: “Go On Air to trade info with friends.” Leo Kingdom SP: “Star Force, the ultimate power!” Dragon Sky SP: “Legendary Master Shin”
- The “six stars” are all of the achievements on the title screen (Beat the game, All standard chips [150], all SP forms beaten, all Mega Chips [30], all Giga chips [5], and defeat of your satellite admin), so after finishing everything, save, and return to the title screen, then continue.

- Go to Vista Point and talk to Zack. He’ll tell you there’s a strange noise coming from the piano. Go to the school’s gym and pulse into the piano. There’s a massive group of Jammers there. Talk to them for a 10-round virus busting challenge! When you’re done, go back and talk to Zack, and he’ll ask to form a Brother Band with you!
- Leave Vista Point and you get an email from Legendary Shin that says: KMALEETZCP. Go ahead and send a CIPHER email with that code for M. Breath Mega weapon
- The only thing left is to challenge Andromeda again because… This time it’s Andromeda INFINITY!! 4000HP and very fast attacks.
- When you defeat it, you’ve fully completed the game!



Congratulations!!


100% COMPLETION!
