In No More Heroes 3, players will take control of a katana-wielding otaku named Travis Touchdown. Considering that players will have to cross paths with multiple powerful assassins throughout the narrative, making sure Travis's stats are up to snuff will be crucial. To learn how to upgrade in No More Heroes 3, players can use this short guide.
To upgrade Travis's stats, players will need to have access to the Laboratory, a facility underneath the motel that Travis Touchdown calls home in the town of Santa Destroy. By accessing one of the machines in the lab, players have the option to spend their hard-earned WESN (a type of currency in the game) on upgrading a variety of things that will ultimately make battles a bit easier to manage.
How to Find the Lab in No More Heroes 3
For players that are having trouble finding the lab, they have two options in getting there:
- The first way to enter the lab is by going outside and heading inside the building that says Burger Suplex. Go inside to find a staircase that leads to the lab in the basement.
- The second way is to use the fireman's pole in Travis's apartment. Climbing up the pole takes players to the bedroom while going down takes them to the lab.
How to Upgrade in No More Heroes 3
Players can mess with multiple features in the basement lab, but players should interact with the arcade machine in front of the giant tree in the middle of the room to upgrade Travis's skills. The Power-Up Machine can be used to upgrade things such as health, attack, power, and Death Skill cooldown time --special moves can be unlocked as well, like one that allows players to charge their sword attacks.
How to Get WESN
No More Heroes 3 players will need to earn some WESN before upgrading any part of Travis's arsenal. To get WESN, players will need to explore the open-world areas of No More Heroes 3. Players can either try their hand at combat challenges scattered about the map or partake in volunteer mini-games that involve monotonous day-to-day chores like mowing the lawn, plunging toilets, and picking up garbage.
Depending on how well players score in the respective mini-games, players will earn some WESN so that they can make Travis reach his full assassin potential.
No More Heroes 3 is now available for the Nintendo Switch.
