Tricky Story: Story 3 Level 20 — Help Cece shop for new items for Felix Guide Overview
Tricky Story 3 Level 20 tests your patience for multi-stop shopping across different vendors. Here's what I learned after several attempts: the sequence matters because you're buying for Felix, and Cece has her own priorities. My first attempt missed the subtlety of multiple payments at the same counter and the need to return to the sword shop. The game doesn't tell you the bird is a key vendor. Once you understand the emotional logic — Cece wants Felix properly equipped before considering her own needs — everything clicks.
Pattern Overview
Shopping for Felix means prioritizing his combat gear before magical aids, and his needs before Cece's own.
The Emotional Sequence
- Combat Readiness First: Sword rack twice — Tricky Story 3 Level 20 starts with ensuring Felix has a weapon before anything else.
- Defensive Balance: Shield rack — offense alone isn't enough; protection follows.
- Magical Layering: Charm counter three times — build up magical insurance gradually.
- The Magic Stone: One purchase at the stone counter — final magical component.
- The Trade: Jewel to the bird — the bird holds the real sword; you must exchange.
- The Main Gift: Sword to Felix — the core reward.
- Felix's Armor: Male armor in the clothing shop — protect the one you care for.
- Cece's Own Armor: Female armor last — self-care after serving others.
Why This Level Feels Tricky + The Key Insight
The biggest trap in Tricky Story 3 Level 20 is that you think you're done after the magic shop. But you have to go back to the sword shop to trade with the bird. Another confusion point: the charm counter requires three separate drags — one won't do, and there's no indicator that you need multiple payments.
In Tricky Story 3 Level 20, I assumed the sword shop was finished after the first two payments. So I bought the shield and moved on to magic, never returning. The trigger came when I had the magic stone but no sword to give Felix — the sword rack was empty. I realized the bird in the sword shop is a separate vendor; you need to buy a jewel from the magic shop first, then give it to the bird to obtain the sword. The real sequence in Tricky Story 3 Level 20 is the bird trade — you have to loop back.
Step 1. First Sword Payment
Why spend money twice on the same rack? Tricky Story 3 Level 20 forces you to double‑dip because one payment only unlocks the display. Drag the money bag to the sword rack once — the bag empties partially and the rack lights up. Without a second payment, the sword stays locked. Cece's thought: "I need to make sure this is enough." This builds the foundation for Felix's weapon. Operation feedback: the rack lights up, signaling the first payment registered.
Step 2. Second Sword Payment
Don't think the first drag did the job. Drag the money bag to the same sword rack a second time. The screen confirms with a chime and the sword becomes selectable. Skipping this leaves you without the sword later. Tricky Story 3 Level 20 demands you pay attention to quantity — two is the magic number here.
Step 3. Shield Purchase
Now head to the shield rack and drag the remaining money bag there. This purchases the shield — a defensive layer for Felix. Cece mutters, "He needs protection too." The shield appears in your inventory. This step follows the two sword payments because Tricky Story 3 Level 20 prioritizes offense before defense. Operation feedback: the shield appears in your inventory.
Step 4. First Charm Buy
Cece wants Felix to have magical backup. Drag the money bag to the charm counter on the left in the magic shop. One charm appears on the counter — but it's not enough. Tricky Story 3 Level 20 requires three separate charm purchases. The first drag clears the initial slot, leaving two more needed. Cece's inner voice: "Just one more…" but really two more. Operation feedback: the first charm materializes, leaving two slots empty.
Step 5. Second Charm Buy
Notice the charm counter didn't reset? Drag the money bag again. A second charm materializes. Tricky Story 3 Level 20 uses this repetition to teach you that magical items are layered. You're building a full set before moving on. Without this second buy, the third won't trigger.
Step 6. Third Charm Buy
One more drag to the charm counter — three is the charm. After the third drag, the counter glows fully, and you've unlocked the charm set. Tricky Story 3 Level 20 hides the next step behind this full payment. Now you can approach the magic stone counter.
Step 7. The Bird Trade and Final Sword
Drag the money bag to the magic stone counter to buy a jewel. Now return to the sword shop. Tap the bird and give it the jewel — the bird drops the sword. Hand the sword to Felix. This is the core puzzle of Tricky Story 3 Level 20: you thought the sword was already bought, but it was held by a vendor. The trade unlocks the real reward. Operation feedback: the screen shows the bird accepting the jewel and dropping the sword with a flutter.
Step 8. Male Armor for Felix
Felix still needs armor. Enter the clothing shop, drag money to the male armor, then give it to Felix. Cece thinks, "Now he's fully kitted." Tricky Story 3 Level 20 makes you prioritize Felix's gear over your own — this step solidifies the care theme. The armor equips with a metallic sound, clearing the next trigger.
Step 9. Female Armor for Cece
Finally, drag money to the female armor. No need to give it to Felix — this one's for Cece. The last step in Tricky Story 3 Level 20 is self‑care. Cece buys her own armor after ensuring Felix has everything. Operation feedback: the female armor appears on Cece, completing the shopping trip. The level ends.
The Logic Behind It
Tricky Story 3 Level 20 is solved by recognizing that some vendors require multiple payments, and that the sword must be obtained via a trade with the bird after buying the jewel. Always complete each shop's full transaction before moving on.
Final Scene Description
When I finished the last drag, I watched Cece fasten the female armor over her shoulders. Felix stood beside her, fully equipped with sword, shield, and male armor. The bird perched on the sword rack, satisfied. The shopkeeper nodded. Tricky Story 3 Level 20 ended with a quiet sense of completion — all needs met, both characters ready for whatever came next.
