Carl Cooper: The Celestial Quest

**Carl Cooper: The Celestial Quest**is an action-platform video game developed by WayForward Technologies/Big C Games and published by UbiSoft. It was released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, and is the first piece of Carl Cooper media as a whole.

## Gameplay

The game plays like a 3D action-platform game, with spellcasting elements added in. Carl can use his sword, the Masamune, for melee combat and once he learns elemental magic, he can cast it on foes to kill them.

The game also includes a potion-brewing minigame, and one for spell recipes. Each has a unique set of controls. Also, sidequests can be achieved by talking to others and doing what is required. The player will potentially unlock spells or outfits for Carl to use.

## Plot

The game begins with an act of disobedience: Carl and Hiram to to the Palace of Darkness without enough experience, thus causing the former to accidentally knock his friend into a pool of Dark Matter, turning him into a Siamese cat/kneazle hybrid. The monsters suddenly begin to surround Hiram, and Carl suddenly unleashes the Crescent Shot spell.

When the boys arrive back at Carl's home, they explain to his Aunt Zelda and Aunt Hilda, as well his younger sister Sarah. Zelda sees this as a sign that the new Legendary Hero is to awaken and destroy the evil in Avalar. Carl is then sent to Geyser Rock to do a tutorial mission, with his family using the communicator to talk to him while he does it. Soon he finds a rabbit, which is the physical form of the moon goddess Sombra. She takes the young wizard to the Temple of the Heavens to further his training in moon magic. The goddess then implores him to find the gods Solaris and Ptolemaeus, of which Carl does while learning Sun and star magic.

Once the Three Great Gods are free, Solaris reveals that Morticia Gothel, a member of the Gothel clan, is the one draining the gods' powers into a crystal to open a portal for summoning Zhan Tiri. One by one, Carl rescues the ten remaining gods and learns their magic along the way. Once all 13 gods are freed and the kingdoms visited, it is now up to Carl to defeat Morticia once and for all.

As soon as he reaches her, Carl and Morticia fight to the death, of which the former kills the latter and smashes the crystal, this restoring the gods' powers. Peace is restored to Avalar for the moment, and Sarah plans her big brother's coming home party.

If the player gets 100%, it is revealed that Morticia's younger brother Cyril has taken over command of the Gothel Guard, and is plotting revenge on Carl, hinting at the possibility of a sequel.

## Trivia

* This is the first Big C Game altogether, and the first Carl Cooper media before the series was created.
* LeAnn's role is fairly minor in this game, serving only as the librarian who assigns side quests for extra spells and a cool outfit.
* Sabrina characters make cameo appearances when Carl watches TV sometimes.
* Unlike in future games, outfits are merely used for decoration and do not improve stats.
