Each entry below lists who starts the quest and what kicks it off. The story’s chapters decide when each one appears.
How side quests work
Taking on a side quest triggers a QUEST ACCEPTED banner with the quest’s name, and the quest is added to the Quests menu under the Sub Quests tab. The other tab in that menu is Main Story.
The game’s Tracking Quests tutorial covers how to follow one quest at a time. You can track it with the shortcut as soon as you accept it, or later from Quests in the Main Menu. A tracked quest keeps its next objective on screen and puts a marker on the map for where to go next.
Inside the Quests menu, every entry lists a Goal (the current objective), its Rewards and a Summary. The prompts at the bottom are F Track Quest and R To World Map. Secrets Unearthed, for example, shows the Goal “Collect Kolobos core samples (0/3)” and Rewards of Magicite Shard x1 and Monk’s Prayer Beads x1.
On the World Map, blue identifies a side quest you’ve selected, while the main story target remains yellow. Track Secrets Unearthed and three blue markers appear on Kolobos island beside the yellow Chapter 1 marker at the Kolobos Ruins.
Chloe gives most players their earliest side quest, Secrets Unearthed, at the Felicitas item shop as they head toward the Kolobos Ruins.
Side quests that give a Vision
Seven side quests give you a new Vision when you finish them. Chapter 4 makes one available, Chapter 5 four and Chapter 7 two. The full Visions list covers them all; as soon as you receive one, you can equip a Vision.
