Cobblestone

Quest 1: The People’s Friend
Reward: Sleeping Hibiscus x1

❥ This is the introduction side quest right next to your home (and down the slope), and should be completed when it becomes available just because there’s a good chance you won’t be coming back to this small town for quite some time. 
❥ Go back up to your house and turn right to see your shed. 
❥ Hop onto the boxes to get to the roof. 
❥ May as well take the treasure chest, but what you’re after is the sparkling item that’s the Flurry Feather. 
❥ Simple as that; the reward may not be great, but it can come in handy in specific situations

Heliodor

Quest 2: The Soldier and the Strategist – A Tale of Two Heroes
Reward: Drasilian Shilling

❥ Yet another fetch quest, which be prepared to find a lot of throughout these guides, but you just need to find a book. 
❥ You can do this in under a minute as, in the south east of the city, right next to the Downtown entrance is a house. 
❥ In there you will find a bookshelf to the left of the entrance in which you’ll find the book the man is after. 
❥ Simply read it and go back to the man to complete the quest

Quest 3: Amelia’s in a Pickle!
Reward: Kitty Litter

❥ This poor girl in Heliodor is just trying to get her cat back as it’s stuck on the roof. 
❥ Well lucky for her you’re in the area and looking for an adventure, as mundane as this may be in the grand scheme of things. 
❥ From her location, go up the small staircase to the right and into the building it’s connected to.
❥ Continue to the back of the building where you will find a ladder. 
❥ Climb up this and turn left to spot the kitty. 
❥ Hop over and simply talk to it for it go hop down. Day saved!

Quest 4: It Takes Two to Tango
Reward: Gold Chain

❥ Time for the first battle-specific quest. 
❥ Get both the hero and Erik pepped up and simply kill an enemy with their combo attack. 
❥ If you’re doing this at the beginning of the game, The Real Decoy will be the only one you have available. 
❥ To get pepped up, all you need to do is fight, or if you have healing capabilities (such as a bed nearby), just continue blocking until both are pepped up. 
❥ If you’re later in the game, there’s a good chance you’ll complete this quest accidentally, provided you at least picked it up.

Hotto Village

Quest 5: Put a Ring on It
Reward: Crucerang

❥ Here is your first Fun Sized Forge-based side quest! 
❥ You’re asked to bring him a +1 Gold Ring. 
❥ The man gives you the recipe, so you don’t have to worry about that, and the materials are right behind him. 
❥ Go back to camp and start forging. 
❥ There are only two bars you need to hammer. 
❥ So long as one is very close to the middle of the indicator, it should come out as +1. 
❥ Even at a very low level, you shouldn’t have too much trouble with this.

Quest 6: Smiths and Sparkly Spots 
Reward: I <3 Iron Arms Recipes

❥ This smith just wants to smash his hammer against iron, so let's find him some materials. 
❥ You just need a chunk of iron ore. 
❥ All you need to do is head outside of Hotto and take a right. 
❥ Across the bridge, take a left and head all the way south where you will see a mining opportunity.
❥ That will give you at least one iron ore to hand in. 
❥ Alternatively, if you’re near The Cryptic Crypts, there should be a mining spot around there that will yield you the same results.

Gallopolis

Quest 7: A Walk on the Wild Side 
Reward: Furry Finery Recipes

❥ In the Celestial Sands, near where you will make camp with the Prince on the pursuit of some vicious monster, you’ll find the Spitzfire. 
❥ These fury dragons can be challenging, so try and have your Hero, Erik and Serena pepped up so you can case the Wild Side pep power right away. 
❥ Just finish it off and hand in the quest. 
❥ They can be sleeping during the daytime while active during the night, so best get the jump on them during the former

Quest 8: A Cactus Culet to Die For
Reward: Trickster Accessory

❥ In the Gallopolis Region, just southwest of Gallopolis, you’ll find little cacti creatures sleeping about. 
❥ Just keep fighting them until you run into a special golden one. 
❥ He will drop what you need. 
❥ If you have trouble with this, as I had with future rare-enemy quests, just save, quit and reload the game and hopefully, that should help.

Reward: Cutting-Edge Kit Recipes

❥ This is a simple delivery mission where, in Gondolia, which is on the other side of Laguna di Gondolia, there is a young lady no longer working at a bakery. 
❥ She is located on the eastern side of the city, right outside the locked gate (check map to see a big grey lock) and is sweeping. 
❥ She’ll give you a letter to return, and doing so will conclude the quest.

❥ He will hand you another letter to deliver back to her, which when you take back, will end the quest

Zwaardsrust Region – Warrior’s Rest Inn

Quest 11: A Path to Paradise
Reward: Robe of Serenity

❥ West of the Warrior’s Rest you’ll find ruins you’re unable to access and poisonous areas. 
❥ At night, blue skeleton monsters will come out, which seems somewhat suitable.

Quest 12: Skincare for the Fierce and Fabulous

Quest 16: A Rush of Blood
Location: Puerto Valor – Beach
Reward: Garter Accessory

❥ You will need a pair of bunny ears, a bunny suit and fishnet stockings.

❥ It will cost you 500 casino tokens, which is 10,000 gold if you don’t feel like gambling.

❥ Head back to the old man on the beach and collect your reward

Phnom Nonh

Quest 17: Light it Up

Reward: Mini Medal x3
Location: L’Academie de Notre Maitre des Medailles

❥ Zazie has gone and destroyed her professor’s whip, so it’s time to whip one up in the Fun Sized Forge.

❥ They should be around the camp in Champs Sauvage, and if you have trouble with the Green Eye, the slime in the Cafeteria will sell you one.

Reward: Uniforme de l’Academie
Location: L’Academie de Notre Maitre des Medailles – Upstairs – Dormitory

❥ You’ll need to read her article that’s pinned up on the noticeboard on the second floor. 
❥ Unfortunately, the editor-in-chief of the school newsletter said the article was swept towards the Eerie Eyrie.

❥ After you get this, head on over to the small island southwest, you’ll find a group of pink dragons at the end of the island.

❥ She will tell you that a jerk by the name of Richie bought the last statue of the MMA fighter Vince. 
❥ You have to convince Richie to sell the statue, and she will even give you her 3000 gold she saved up (I wish you could decline this). 
❥ Go up to the VIP area and find Richie. 
❥ He puts you on a quest to get jackpot in roulette. 
❥ This can be time consuming, but I would suggest racking up a little bit of tokens to start betting, and just bet one coin on a third of the numbers.

❁Post Credits Part 1❁

Quest 1: Pointless Pride
Location: Angri-La – The High Hall
Reward: Seed of Skill x10

❥ The first side quest post-credits, this can be a challenging venture. 
❥ The reward certainly is worth it, but it requires completing time (or rather turn) trials. 
❥ The task is to create a Legate’s Blade +3, which is a strong weapon, to begin with as it has a critical rate of +9%. 
❥ The creation part shouldn’t be the challenging part; it’s completing the Final Trial in The Wheel of Harma. 
❥ The problem with this trial is that Grand Master Pang continuously sends out backup every turn whenever an enemy is defeated. 
❥ It can be an endless cycle. 
❥ Thankfully, all you need to do is beat it, so while the other rewards are worth it, they aren’t necessary. 
❥ I’ll still give you my character makeup in order to complete it within the 30 moves:

Team 1 – Sylvando (Whip) / Rab (Heavy Wand)
Team 2 – Erik (Boomerang) / Jade (Spear)
Team 3 – Hero (Sword & Shield) / Hendrik (Greatsword)
Team 4 – Veronica (Heavy Wand) / Serena (Wand & Shield)

❥ Regardless, just finish the trial and you’ll get Orichalcum: Ore Blimey to be able to forge the Legate’s Blade. 
❥ It does require a Black Tear, which can be exchanged from Krystalinda in Sniflheim for an item that can be stolen from most serpents and a Night Clubber in The Pernicious Peninsula (Gallopolis Region – Celestial Sands). 
❥ Orichalcum is in the Battlegrounds, and Goobricant you should have received from quest “Some Like it Hotto'

Quest 3: Mister Vista
Location: Cobblestone Tor – Summit
Reward: Fantastick

❥ Time to head back to the beginning of the game. 
❥ At the top of the Cobblestone Tor you’ll find an gentleman looking for the best vistas around the world. 
❥ To find this location, you will need to go to the northeast most area and play the Harp you use to get into Nautica on the portal to get into the lake west of Zwaardsrust Region. 
❥ There will be a small island in here, so get in there and kill a mounted knight to steal his dragon. ❥ Once you have to dragon, fly all the way up and to the highest summit on the map to (just east of the south most section) where you’ll find a shabby old stone with a carving on it.

Quest 4: Might is Right
Location: Heliodor – Royal Square
Reward: Apollo’s Axe

❥ Time to take down a flying Harmachis, but this is a little trickier as this is the first quest that utilizes your flying whale. 
❥ Head on over to Hotto Steppe – Southern Whale Way Station, the glittering spot to the most southeast, and you’ll find a pretty empty area with one enemy flying around. 
❥ Fight this enemy a couple times before a red-armored version of it rears its head. 
❥ Simply defeat it and return to the elderly man to collect your axe

Quest 5: Mistress Bev’s Perfect Prediction
Location: Downtown Heliodor
Reward: Pep Pop

❥ This is one of the few Pep Pops you will find in the game, so if you’re looking to make the upgraded Dragon Quest VIII armor, you’ll need this. 
❥ All you really need to do is find Mistress Bev some divine dew. 
❥ Head on over to the summit of The First Forest, and on the ground near the small waterbed next to the dragons and sprouts, you’ll find the item you’re looking for. 
❥ Return to the mistress and get ready to craft some new gear

Quest 6: Now You See Me
Location: Downtown Heliodor
Reward: Mini Medal x10

❥ You are tasked with finding the hide-and-seek king. 
❥ Remember Xero from the side quest “The Shadow”? Well you’re in search for him. 
❥ Head over to Octagonia and talk to the kid next to the orphanage about his hero. 
❥ He will inform you he left awhile back towards Champs Sauvage. 
❥ Head over there and go into l’Academie de Notre Maitre des Medailles and open the red locked door if you haven’t already. 
❥ Our hide-and-seek buddy will be hiding in this room. 
❥ It seems a little odd for him to be hiding out at an all girl’s school, but considering the reward is 10 mini medals, it almost seems reasonable

Quest 7: The Legendary Treasure of Legend
Location: Hotto
Reward: Uber Agate of Evolution x3

❥ A very easy side quest that will net you some powerful forging material. 
❥ You need to find Iago’s special treasure, and it’s pretty close by. 
❥ Head to Mount Huji and take the secret entrance. 
❥ Head all the way to the end where you first witnessed the dragon of the mountain and there should be a chest of Hotto stuff just waiting for you

Quest 8: Perfectly Pepped Paladins
Location: Sultan’s Palace – Downstairs – Prince’s Bedchamber
Reward: Pep Pip x4

❥ Ah Prince, you always seem to need our help. 
❥ This time it’s to locate a Pepper Tree branch, and what better place to find one than in The First Forrest? Or at least near it. 
❥ Hop onto your magical flying whale and go to the Whale Way Station just behind The First Forest. 
❥ At the end of the area you will find the branch right next to a tree. 
❥ Take this branch back to the Prince and claim your pepping reward

Quest 9: A Little Kindness Goes a Long Way
Location: Lonalulu
Reward: Slime Crown x3

❥ The fetch quests continue as you’re tasked with retrieving a crystal lily. 
❥ This time we’re going north – way north where it’s a little frigid. 
❥ Head to the Sniflheim Whale Way Station, and just slightly northeast of the locked gate you will find such a lily. 
❥ Return it to the burly man and claim your crowns

Quest 10: Morcant’s Mastery of Magic
Location: Angri-La – Lower Level
Reward: A boost to Rab’s magical powers.

❥ It’s time to collect three tomes under the Ye Wizard’s Canticle collection. 
❥ Where would one think to look for ancient books? Why The Royal Library of course. 
❥ Head on over there and you’ll find three books on the first, second and third levels. 
❥ I would suggest you also take side quest 59, Wisdom of the Warrior King in Havens Above to avoid having to redo these “puzzles” again.

Book I – Level One, West Side
Book II – Level Two, West Side
Book III – Level Three, Southeast Side

❁Post Credits Part 2❁

Quest 11: The Holiest of Harps
Location: Havens Above
Reward: A boost to Serena’s magical mending.

❥ This little guy just wants to help out Serena and her abilities with the Harp. 
❥ The only problem, he needs a Harmonicrystal to do so. 
❥ Head on over to The Battleground Level B9. Basically the bottom level. 
❥ The first time you went through here, you might have forgotten there was a locked door with a crystal sticking out of the ground. 
❥ Now that you have the key, unlock the door and face off against the Crystalotl that guards the cell. 
❥ He will drop the Harmonicrystal. 
❥ Be sure to mine some of Orichalcum in the before you leave

Quest 12: Wisdom of the Warrior King
Location: Havens Above
Reward: A boost for Blind Man’s Biff ability.

❥ This Watcher hopes you can find some tomes from around the world to better help Hendrik.
❥ These tomes are spread across the globe, but fortunately, they are in pretty accessible locations that it shouldn’t take too long to complete this quest. 
❥ Only Book IV would take some time, so I suggest you complete this challenge alongside side quest 57, Morcant’s Mastery of Magic.

Book I – Sultan’s Palace (Gallopolis) – Downstairs – Prince’s Bedchamber
Book II – Heliodor Castle – Bottom Floor – Jasper’s Quarters
Book III – Southern Champs Sauvage – Promontory Cave
Book IV – Royal Library – Level 3, North

Quest 13: Lost Lovers
Location: Havens Above – Place of Legends
Reward: Luminary sword abilities become stronger.

❥ Here we have it, the final side quest of the game.
❥ Anyways, you are tasked with finding Erdwin’s bracelet so it can be placed upon its statue in Havens Above. 
❥ This will be greatly beneficial considering you should be using luminary abilities more frequently now. 
❥ Regardless, its location can be found in The Disciple’s Trial (the middle sprout), specifically The Cruel Crypt. 
❥ What you want to do is ensure that the floor breaks beneath you as soon as possible so you can enter a room filled with slot machines. 
❥ Head down the southwest hallway and turn the corner to find a treasure chest with none other than Erdwin’s bracelet. 
❥ Simply bring it back to The Watcher and you are now even more powerful

Can you do quests 2 and 3 after talking to the king? I did not expect that to happen and figured I'd just do it after but oop.

[BlyZeraz]

You have to pick individual numbers to trigger a jackpot?! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[Na]

@Veksha , I'm glad to hear that & you're welcome.

[Veksha]

Thank you for such well-written and compenhensive guide. It helps a lot!

[stingo1]

Just a note on the quests that need certain characters pepped up to use a special skill such as wild side. Sometimes it's difficult to pep up the right characters at the same time. One way to fix this is to wait for one of them to pep up and then move them to the reserve. They will remain pepped up while there and you can work on pepping up the other required characters. Once you have tham all pepped up, move them back to the fighting party and attack your required enemy. Took me awhile to realize you could do this.

[Beldr]

1 note about the roulette, if you bet on all numbers you will only lose on tresoure and you will get back all you have bet if it does not

[Na]

@Nephele,

Thanks for the info :D
i will credit you & the rest for the help!

[Nephele]

It might be worth mentioning for 'Light It Up' that there is a weather cow outside the city that lets you know when it's going to rain. You can keep checking with him and pass the time using the Inn to make this one less time consuming.

[Na]

Probably. thanks for helping out :D

[Borous]

I hit 331 charm and she accepted that so it must be between 320 and 330 charm to pass the quest.
Maybe 325?
