Do we have to do every prestige quest?

[ThreeLeggedCow]

Not gonna lie, they're pretty tedious. The "find x item somewhere in the middle of someplace" ones can go suck eggs. I just *love* pixel hunting......

So if I skip a few will I screw myself out of rewards/extra leadership or is there a certain number you need to cap out rewards and can safely ignore the rest?

For the ultimate reward at 180 : YES

I'm in Chapter 9 and one of the prestige quests is to open a chest in an optional mission but there isn't one available and if I leave camp I get the warning I will miss it. Not sure if these quests preset or randomised in any capacity but this quest seems to be set up for failure.

Only "[URGENT]" Prestige quests require you to complete them before advancing the chapter. Was the quest urgent?

Oh! I do believe I know the one you're talking about. I actually did the optional battle before I triggered the prestige quest, so I was pretty much sunk. Darn it. Hahah.

I genuinely can't remember now if I maybe did it before but as far as I can remember I can from story mission then did my rounds around the camp because I like to do the optional mission before leaving camp.

I already missed all first 3 prestige quests because I had no idea how to turn them in at the time and assumed they completed when you left camp.

Also missed the one where you have to train with Francisco. It's annoying you can choose multiple characters to build rapport but only have so much points to do it each intermission then you are forced to do it with one or more characters for prestige quests :(

After speaking to everyone in camp (to be able to leave, but don't), there should be a quest to train with one of the characters, talking to them about it opens up the optional fight needed for the chest quest to be completed, this does not cost you any leadership as I remember doing this before spending it. I had to reload cause I missed the trigger for the optional fight, I'm not quite sure what makes it pop up but talking to everyone in camp to progress your "main" quests should make it appear.

I believe it's a bug the only prestige quest i missed is a class evolution ceremony preventing me from reaching the max in one party at 200 prestige. But for all optional figths i was able to do them right on the spot after completing all sides/main/conversations in camp. Sometimes you do need to complete all before leaving camp to unlock the battle.

I definitely spoke to everyone again in case there is something I missed to trigger it and nothing has popped up. Not sure if the trigger is connected to something from a previous chapter that I missed :(

At this point I have missed other already so not going to get too bothered by it. The completionist in me will have to just understand. I generally have always found this downtime quests where you have to do them then and there limiting in games anyway.

Yeah i agree I don't know why they had to put something like this in. The worst part is they aren't marked on the map so you have to run around aimlessly, sometimes even in the dark.

Brings the game down a notch for sure

I do believe that only applies to the "find this document"-type quests. Personally I don't mind them, since I do appreciate not having markers when the whole point is to look around and try to find them.

Admittedly it becomes annoying when you're supposed to look near, say, Robin's tent, but you have no idea which tent that is because you've never seen Robin in a tent up until that point.

No doubt too late to help OP here but in case anyone else is wondering, I found it; talking to Francisco unlocked the Optional Battle.
