Gearlet Hunter

The Gearlet Hunter was the third release of Treasure Gaust, and the beginning of the third generation. Gearlet Hunter is very much an amalgamation of the first two generations of Treasure Gaust, bringing back the Lure System from Dimension Rod, but still having insertable Gaust peripherals, in this case the Gearlets. Gearlet Hunter is the largest game in the entire series, with a massive 241 Gaust. The game requires a lot of items in order to 100% complete, but the Gearlet Hunter was the most popular and well known device in Japan, where it was the device used in both the Anime and Manga series.

Gameplay
The Gearlet Hunter plays very much like the previous devices, having a reel and lure system, but certain Gaust appearing at specific times too. The Gearlet Hunter also brings back actual versions, a feature missing from the Strap Series, where the different model colors were purely aesthetic. The game has 3 versions, Red, Blue and Black. These devices all have exclusive Gaust, as well as a lure to find them, the Red Meat, Blue Hook and Black Metal Lures. The devices also come with a different starting Gearlet. Red has Gilgadran, Blue has Raizerk and Black has the new Gaust, Siege Charion.

There were 3 other variants of the device, though they were all Red Versions at their core. The Platinum Gold Version contained a special Gold Magnetise Ring, as well as the Gearlet for Cross Gilgadran, but the CoroCoro and Translucent Combo Pack versions were just clones of the red with different casings.

The Search Feature returns from Strap, only Gearlet Gaust are now the only Gaust that can search, and they will find exclusive Gaust depending on the Gaust that searches, as well as the attached ring.

Gearlet also raises the maximum Rank of Gaust from 7 to 10, a staple that the series would maintain for the rest of it's life.
