Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition Guide

Sidequest Guide for Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition

Sidequest Guide

Overview

A full chronological guide of all sidequests in the game.

Introduction

A full list and detail of the sidequests in Tales of Vesperia, listed as they become available throughout the story.

This guide avoids spoilers where possible and strictly covers the sidequests – the optional content which is not required to complete the story and may be missed if players never initiate them. Unmissable events are only covered if they are required for subsequent missable ones. Sidequests may give items or titles, or may just be detail scenes.

This guide does not highlight all changes in the Definitive Edition, such as new party member arrivals. Sidequests added in Definitive are included, and those changed from the Xbox 360 version are clarified. In short, this is a guide, not a changelog! It also does not cover the short scenes provided early in the game when entering future areas too soon, such as Ehmead Hill before Halure or Heliord before Caer Bocram.

This guide is primarily sourced from my own self-made guide for the original Xbox 360 version which was created out of a dislike for inaccuracies in existing guides. That was hosted on Google Docs though ultimately never published.

How to read this guide

The format of sidequest parts follows a clear structure:

Location: [At a specified place], [do a specified action] [for a specified outcome]. (Sidequest sequence/s) (Extra notes)

Each action involved in a sidequest has a separate entry, even if multiple actions take place close together.

Several sidequests are “stand-alone”; singular scenes with no connections or dependencies to any others; these will have no sequences mentioned. A small portion of sidequest parts are related to two otherwise separate sequences; these will have all of them mentioned.

Sidequest parts are grouped by the first time they become available following storyline progression. Within these groups, they are ordered to create a route that should allow them to be covered quickly.

Many sidequest parts become temporarily unavailable due to party member changes throughout the story; this guide generally does not mention if a sidequest becomes available a second time, but exceptions are made for sidequests that depend on progression with the Monster Book and Collector’s Book.

Chapter 1 – Ilyccia

Beginning

Zaphias: In the Public Quarter, head toward the Noble’s Quarter to get the Wonder Log. (Wonder Reporter 1/3) (This cannot be avoided; it is included due to being part of a sequence)

Arrival at Deidon Hold

Deidon Hold: Enter the Guard Station, to the right of the gate. Go up the stairs on the far side of the room. Go up the ladder, then head left and Talk to the white-haired man for a scene.

After Rita rejoins after clearing Shaikos Ruins

Aspio: In Rita’s Hut, Check the blastia at the far side for a scene. (Brionac A 1/3 and Blastia naming 1/2) (Key missable – This is not available forever. Unlike the Xbox 360 version where you need to do this before leaving Capua Nor, in Definitive is still available in early Chapter 2 but not by mid Chapter 3. it is unclear when it gets cut off)

After leaving Halure after clearing Shaikos Ruins

World Map: Enter Halure for a scene.

After the cutscene in Ehmead Hill taking you to the beast trail

Halure: Speak to the Mayor standing by the tree for a scene. (Halure spirit 1/5)

After Estelle rejoins in Capua Nor

Capua Nor: At the far end of town, go to the Dice Master’s House and Talk. Win a game to get Rita’s “New Dice Master” title and a “Gel Set” of Apple Gel x1, Orange Gel x1 and Lottery Gel x1. Subsequent victories in Chapter 1 also give a Gel Set. (Dice Master 1/3) (Prior to getting the title, the lose dialog changes each time you lose until the third time. When you do get the title, the dialog changes slightly if you lost 0, 1, 2 or 3+ times)

Chapter 1 – Tolbyccia

After rejoining the party after the inn scenes in Capua Torim

Capua Torim: Enter Inn “Pullux T” and Talk to the counter for a scene. (Dark Enforcer 1/11)

During Caer Bocram

Caer Bocram: Check the warp blastia near the entrance for a scene. Check it again for another scene.

Caer Bocram: The password clues are “Light”, “Sky”, “Sphere”. The password is “Sun”. (This is not a sidequest; the password is usable without the key items, after the fatal strike tutorial)

After Estelle rejoins the second time in Heliord

Heliord: At the entrance of the Inn & Shop, move to the right of the building until you can Talk to the wall for a scene. (Wonder Reporter 2/3)

Heliord: Enter the Chevaliers’ HQ for a scene. (The dialog of this scene changes slightly if you wait a while until the next party member has joined)

After entering Dahngrest

Dahngrest: In the Guild’s Union HQ, Talk to the NPC in the far left of the room. With enough title points, Accept his request to get Girly Bunny Ears and Bunny Guild Badge. (Bunny Guild 1/14) (This and subsequent steps are generally not doable this early in a first playthrough!

Keiv Moc: Take the lower route at the first opportunity (the first tree trunk) and continue onward for a scene.

In Ghasfarost

Ghasfarost: When the party arrives, Ghasfarost may be exited and Dhangrest returned to. (This is new in Definitive. It might allow getting Bunny Guild 14/14 earlier since Judith is in the party.)

Chapter 2 – North

After leaving Dahngrest

World Map: Enter Dahngrest for a scene.

Ghasfarost: Enter the prison room for a scene. (Brionac B 1/5)

After camping

World Map: If no items have been used in battle yet, the skit “Items? Who Needs Items?” appears. Watch this to get Yuri’s “Item Hater” title. (This is also available using a skit viewer later on if all skits have been unlocked using GRADE.)

Missable note: In Heliord when arriving at the lower part of town for the first time, make sure to Talk to two knights for battles as these have the unique enemies “Knight Fencer K” and “Knight Lancer K”. These were not present in the Xbox 360 version.

Returning to Capua Torim

Capua Torim: To the right of Fortune’s Market (HQ), Talk to the woman facing a palm tree for a scene. (Blastia destroyer 1/3)

After the first Fiertia appearance on the World Map

(Note: At this point it’s fastest to defeat the mermen now and do the following section alongside this to avoid two trips to Zaphias via Ehmead Hill. Alternatively, clear the Atherum too and go there by sea.)

Capua Nor: Rest at Inn “Pollux” for a scene.

Capua Nor: At the far end of town, Talk to the Dice Master counter. Victories in Chapter 2 give a “Bottle Set” of Life Bottle x1, Panacea Bottle x1, Holy Bottle x1, Dark Bottle x1, Syrup Bottle x1 and Nectar Bottle x1. (Dice Master 2/3)

World Map: Directly north of Halure, Enter King of Adventure and rest at the Wandering Traveler for a scene. (This introduces Giganto Monsters: Talk to Rich after defeating each Giganto for a trophy reward. This can be done at any time during the course of the game.)

Halure: Talk to the children standing by the tree to get Veil. (Halure spirit 2/5)

Aspio: With at least 619 entries in the Collector’s Book, traverse the lower stairs inside the library (containing Lounge “Book Shelf”) for a scene. (Collector’s Book 2/3) (This was 529 on the Xbox 360 version, and has increased in Definitive as it checks for 50% completion)

Deidon Hold: Talk to the man outside the Store Room and Clear the warehouse minigame to get Miracle Gel x2, Spicy Potion x1, Limit Bottle x3 and 2000 Gald. (Warehouse Master 1/5)

Zaphias: Go to the Noble’s Quarter for a scene. (Dark Enforcer 2/11)

Zaphias: In the Noble’s Quarter, head to the entrance of Mordio’s Residence and Talk to Shel for a scene. (Dark Enforcer 3/11)

Zaphias: In the Public Quarter, head to the benches and speak to the group consisting of Lune, Ted and another child to get Yuri’s “Tiger Blade” arte and “Kingdom Celeb” title. (Dark Enforcer 4/11) (Note: Sequencing is fiddly here, as parts 2 to 4 can be done later in the story after parts 5 and 6)

Zaphias: In the Lower Quarter, Talk to the distressed woman for a scene. (Nora 1/3)

Zaphias: In the Public Quarter, Talk to Estelle or Rita for a scene. (Nora 2/3)

Zaphias: Move through the Noble’s Quarter for a scene. (Nora 3/3)

Capua Nor: Head towards the Magistrate’s Palace and Talk to Sicily to get Raven’s “Vacance” skill and “Twilight Dreamer” title. (Sicily 2/8)

After Atherum

Capua Nor: Outside the front entrance to Inn “Pollux”, Talk to the woman to get the “Seafood Bowl” recipe. (This is stand-alone, but the dialog of this scene changes slightly if an earlier stand-alone scene in Heliord was seen)

Capua Nor: Go to the alley for a scene. (This is missable and stops being available later on in the game.)

Chapter 2 – South

After arriving in Nordopolica

Nordopolica: Before you Talk to Natz, Talk to Tokunaga for a scene. (This scene appears to be removed in Definitive! It detailed the Fiertia’s maintenance and upgrade costs)

Nordopolica: Toward the town exit, Talk to the spectacled merchant for a scene. (Blastia destroyer 2/3) (This might not be a dependent sequence; if not but “part 1” was done, this scene mentions it)

Nordopolica: As you travel toward the Coliseum, Talk to Drake for a scene. (Drake 2/8)

After the storyline use of the Nordopolica inn

Nordopolica: In the Coliseum lobby, head up the stairs towards Duke for a scene. (Stand-alone)

Nordopolica: Toward the town exit, Talk to the couple with emotes displaying over their heads for a scene. (Dark Enforcer 5/11)

Nordopolica: Rest at Inn “Fomalhaut” to get Yuri’s “Shining Eagle” arte. (Dark Enforcer 6/11)

After defeating Pteropus

Weasand of Cados: Approach the aer krene for a scene. (This is missable; it can be done after leaving Cados but does not last until the next mandatory visit)

After entering Mantaic

Mantaic: Talk to the back of the palm tree between the Wonder Chef for Curry and a nearby knight for a scene. (Wonder Reporter 3/3)

After the storyline use of the Mantaic inn

Mantaic: Rest at Inn “Antares” to get Mother’s Memento. (This is required for Secret Mission 17)

Mantaic: Rest at Inn “Antares” to get Judith’s “Moonlight Talon” arte. (Note: In the Xbox 360 version, this happened on the first inn use rather than the Mother’s Memento scene; they have been switched in Definitive, probably to reduce the chances of missing the Secret Mission)

After the party splits In Yormgen

Yormgen: Inside Inn “Septentriones”, Talk to Patty to get Patty’s “Dry-eyed Dame” title. (Yes this is missable.)

Returning to Mantaic

Mantaic: At the path to the right near the back of town, Talk to Alph and Layla to lose Glass Marble and get Hourglass. (Allegedly it is possible to get Miracle Gel or Lottery Gel instead; through a few dozen retries across both versions I have never observed this but they have been reported in the comments of this guide)

After Mantaic is liberated

(Note: The town must be “reset” before these work. This is done by leaving and re-Entering the main town area, either by a town exit to the World Map or using the Inn “Antares”.)

Mantaic: Approach the area before Inn “Antares” for a scene. (Guild job #1 1/5)

Mantaic: Towards the oasis, Talk to the man in a vest and accept the job. (Guild job #1 2/5) (Job intel: Client: Yu Seron. Reward: (4200 – 30%) 3000 Gald)

After leaving Nordopolica

Zaphias: In the Lower Quarter, Enter Yuri’s Room to get Bread.

Heliord: Talk to the excited pair near the right exit to get Patty’s “Search Gald” base arte and “Gald Hunter” title. (The pair are called Herath and Cotton)

Dahngrest: Talk to Sassoon (to the left of the bar) to get new accessories and titles based on mixing existing accessories and titles. This feature remains available for the rest of the game; it does not consume the originals.

After Karol rejoins aboard the Fiertia

Dahngrest: Rest at Inn “Arcturus” to get Karol’s “Insomniac” title.

Dahngrest: Rest at Inn “Arcturus” repeatedly to get Karol’s “Special” skill. You get it on the fourth of four scenes. (In the Xbox 360 version, there was only a 1 in 3 chance to get a scene each use of the inn!)

Dahngrest: Enter Tavern “Saggitarius” for a scene. When you leave you’ll get Imperial Crest. (Drake 3/8)

Dahngrest: Enter Tavern “Saggitarius” for a scene. (Ladies’ Man 1/4)

World Map: Enter Shaikos Ruins for a scene. (Ruins’ Gate 1/2) (This can be done in the next set to save on travel time.)

Chapter 2 – Freedom

After Ba’ul joins

World Map: Enter Aer Krene (Desier), Aer Krene (Tolbyccia), Aer Krene (Ilyccia) or Aer Krene (Yorzorea) for a scene. (There’s little point to doing so here, it’s the same scene you can’t miss during the fell arms sequence later on and can actually be done earlier. Tolbyccia could be reached with the Fiertia)

Nordopolica: Approach the coliseum for a scene.

Nordopolica: Outside of the coliseum entrance, Talk to the stationary man dressed in white for a scene. (Ruins’ Gate 2/2)

Nordopolica: Having cooked enough, Talk to the bespectacled man to the right of the Fortune’s Market vendor for a scene. (Amazing Chef 1/2) (Allegedly this requires cooking 600 times and Patty to have 3 recipes “Mastered!”)

Nordopolica: The arena opens with the first three battle types: Thirty Man Melee (Entry fee: 3,000 Gald. Prize: 6,000 Gald, Apple Gel x3, Orange Gel x3), Fifty Man Melee (Entry fee: 5,000 Gald. Prize: 10,000 Gald, Apple Gel x3, Orange Gel x3) and Eighty Man Melee (Entry fee: 8,000 Gald. Prize: 16,000 Gald, Pineapple Gel x3, Lemon Gel x3). The first successful run in any level also gives Limit Bottle x3. (I’m not sure it does in Definitive)

Nordopolica: In the coliseum, Talk to Natz for a scene and access to the area he guards. (Nothing available there yet)

Capua Torim: Talk to the vendor in front of the nearest cart to the town exit. (Seafood Stew 1/4) (This scene gets a very brief extension if done later with Flynn in the party.)

Capua Torim: With a Napa Cabbage, Tofu, Kelp, Scallop, Salmon, Squid and Shrimp (all ingredients), Talk to the vendor in front of the nearest cart to the town exit to lose those items. (Seafood Stew 2/4) (On the first playthrough, Napa Cabbage isn’t available until Egothor Forest (enemies) or Myorzo (shop).)

Dahngrest: Outside of Tavern “Crimson Stars”, Talk to the stationary woman dressed in a pink apron for a scene. (Ladies’ Man 3/4)

Dahngrest: Enter Guild’s Union HQ for a scene. (Raven the diplomat 1/3)

Dahngrest: With enough titles, Talk to the Bunny Guild master to get Black Bunny Ears. (Bunny Guild 14/14) (This is the first time it can be done, unless it is available by leaving Ghasfarost late in Chapter 1)

Dahngrest: In Tavern “Saggitarius”, Talk to the middle bartender to play the serving game. Clear all three levels with everyone to get Estelle’s “Gracious Waitress” title, Karol’s “Lunch Lady” title, Rita’s “Catgirl Waitress”, Raven’s “Gentleman” title and Judith’s “Glamorous Maid” title. Rewards in Chapter 2 give some Gald. (Serving game 1/2) (In the Xbox 360 version, Rita’s title was called “Kitty Kat Waitress”; it has been renamed for reasons unknown)

Dahngrest: In Tavern “Saggitarius” with a Sharp Blade and a Flare Stone (both synthesis materials), Talk to the man at the right side of the counter to lose those items and get the Kitchen Knife. (Seafood Stew 3/4)

Capua Torim: Talk to the vendor in front of the nearest cart to the town exit to lose the Kitchen Knife and get the “Seafood Stew” recipe. (Seafood Stew 4/4)

Capua Nor: With at least 241 entries in the Monster Book, head towards the far end of town for a scene. (Monster Book 1/2) (This can be done before the scene for resting in Mantaic; the dialog doesn’t change in either scene for doing so, though this does make it seem out of place) (This was 182 on the Xbox 360 version, and has increased in Definitive as it checks for 50% completion)

Ehmead Hill: Head to the enclosed area near the west entrance to get Fire Lily. (Casey 1/4)

Ehmead Hill: Approach the gravestone a little to the left of the cliff peninsula for a scene. (Elucifer 2/2)

Ehmead Hill: Approach the broken barrier blastia from the right for a scene. (Hermes’ Notes 1/5) (This scene may be missable; if so the sidequest can still be started from 2/5.)

Aspio: In the library building, Check the book shelf to the left of Fortune’s Market (Aspio) to get Hermes’ Notes. (Hermes’ Notes 2/5) (In late Chapter 3 you can get Hermes’ Notes from a mage in Capua Torim at Inn “Pollux T”)

Capua Torim: Enter Inn “Pollux T” to lose Book of Friendship and get Rainbow Bookmark. (Guild job #1 4/5)

Capua Torim: Rest at Inn “Pollux T” to get Rita’s “Negative Gate” arte. (Hermes’ Notes 3/5)

Capua Torim: To the right of Fortune’s Market (HQ), Talk to the woman facing a palm tree for a scene. (Blastia destroyer 3/3) (If part 2 is not part of the sequence, then the dialog of this scene changes depending on whether or not it was done)

Capua Torim: Enter Fortune’s Market (HQ) for a scene. (Raven the diplomat 2/3)

Capua Torim: In Fortune’s Market (HQ), Talk to Kaufman for a scene. (Brionac B 2/5)

Mantaic: Go through the arch to the right of Inn “Antares” and Talk to Kowz. Give him a Trident to get Rice, Potato, Onion and Carrot. (Kowz 2/5)

Mantaic: Talk to the stationary couple by the left building near the center of town, and also Talk to the man sat talking to children at the oasis for a scene. (Dark Enforcer 7/11) (Talking to the couple may not be necessary, in which case it simply changes the dialog of the scene)

Mantaic: Rest at Inn “Antares”. During the night, approach the oasis for a scene. (Dark Enforcer 8/11)

Mantaic: Enter Inn “Antares” and “Yes” to staying the night for a scene. (If doing this immediately after Dark Enforcer part 8 you will need to leave and re-enter town for this to trigger.) (Other sources claim you need to have learned Bug Breath at Keiv Moc, though nothing links the two scenes.)

Dahngrest: In Fortune’s Market (Dahngrest), Talk to the shopkeeper for a scene. (Brionac B 3/5)

Dahngrest: In Tavern “Saggitarius”, Talk to the right bartender for a scene. (Guild job #2 1/7) (Job intel: Client: Rhianna Kale. Reward: 4500 Gald)

Dahngrest: In Inn “Arcturus”, Talk to the stationary red-haired woman to lose Everlight Necklace. (Guild job #2 7/7)

World map: Use a Mat (or similar) to reach 50% control of the Dog Map for a scene. (Dog Map 3/6). (This is probably technically able to trigger earlier, but Ba’ul may be needed to access 50% of the Dog Map)

Dahngrest: Talk to the cat at the eastern bridge for a scene and protection of Repede’s territory in the nearby area. (Dog Map 4/6) (This may be possible before 3/6 and instead dependent on Repede having full control of the area)

In case you’ve forgotten the actual story part after all that, it’s continued by landing Ba’ul at the crag in the Sands of Kogorh!

Chapter 2 – Pursuit

After entering Myorzo

Myorzo: Do the warehouse challenge to get Flare Stone x1, Frost Stone x1, Air Stone x1, Geo Stone x1, Dragoon Boots, Hourglass x2, and 2000 Gald. (Warehouse Master 3/5) (In the Xbox 360 version the second chest contained All Divide x2 instead of Dragoon Boots)

After leaving Myorzo

Myorzo: Rest at the room you’re given for a scene.

After Yormgen

Mantaic: Move towards the western exit to get Flynn’s “Mark of Knighthood” title.

Note: When approaching Baction to proceed the story, there are two versions of the party’s dialog depending on whether the approach is made by land or air.

While in Baction

Baction: In the room in BF1 with paths you can fall off, fall for a scene. (Magic Lantern 1/3)

Baction: In the room in BF1 with paths you can fall off, fall twice more to get Magic Lantern. (Magic Lantern 2/3)

Baction: In the room in BF1 with paths you can fall off, fall once more for a scene. (Magic Lantern 3/3)

Note: When approaching the Heracles to proceed the story, the party’s dialog gets a slight extension when approaching by sea.

After the storyline passage of the Quoi Woods

Deidon Hold: Enter the Guard Station (to the right of the gate), go up the stairs on the far side of the room, go up the ladder, then head left and Talk to Duke for a scene.

After the Sword Stair

Reminder: The below is a sidequest that was available much earlier but hasn’t been for a while due to party member availability. It’s mentioned again as it’s much more likely the Collector’s Book is filled by now on a first playthrough.

Aspio: With at least 619 entries in the Collector’s Book, traverse the lower stairs inside the library (containing Lounge “Book Shelf”) for a scene. (Collector’s Book 2/3) (This was 529 on the Xbox 360 version, and has increased in Definitive as it checks for 50% completion)

The below are first-time sidequests.

Capua Torim: At the bottom of the stairs to the docks, head right to get Salvage Crane and reinforce the Fiertia’s hull. (Sicily 3/8) (Sea Teachings 1/5) (The reinforcement is not an item, but a World Map ability to sail over shallows)

Capua Nor: With the Salvage Crane, head toward the notice board left of the entrance. Pay the 1,000 gald. (Sea Teachings 2/5) (If you say No, you can Talk to Zarshaan again to do so)

Capua Nor: Head left towards the Magistrate’s Palace and Talk to Duke for a scene.

World Map: Starting from Heliord, fly directly south until finding a salvage point in the sea to the left. Check this to get Miso, Radish, Egg, Potato, Kelp, and a scene which automatically uses all of them. (Sea Teachings 3/5)

Heliord: To the right of the town’s blastia, Talk to Pauly for a scene. (Nanny 1/2)

Heliord: Approach any town exit for a fight to get Repede’s “Special” skill and “Nanny” title. (Nanny 2/2) (Despite two dialog suggestions, this can be any town exit)

Dahngrest: Head towards Inn “Arcturus” to get Flynn’s “Emperor of the Night” title.

World Map: In the northernmost forest on the north-western continent, Enter Yumanju. Enter the building and Talk to the receptionist for a scene. (Hot spring 1/13) (This is probably not necessary for future parts) (Warning: The expensive inn is just a regular inn; it has no sidequest involvement)

Mt. Temza: Enter the area and walk forwards a little to lose the Fire Lily and gain the Compact of Remembrance. (Casey 2/4)

World Map: Enter Phaeroh’s Crag for a scene. (Labyrinth of Memories 1/9)

Phaeroh’s Crag: Approach the phantom rift for access to Yormgen (Past). (Labyrinth of Memories 2/9) (This becomes unavailable after Chapter 2 ends)

Yormgen (Past): Talk to the Sage and Rest for a scene. (Labyrinth of Memories 4/9) (This one might not be necessary for the sequence, but it does reference Lilith Aileron from Tales of Destiny)

Yormgen (Past): Talk to the Sage for a scene. (Labyrinth of Memories 5/9) (Not necessary for the sequence; it’s just backstory for Myorzo)

Mantaic: Go through the arch to the right of Inn “Antares” and Talk to Kowz. Give him a Poison Ward, Paralyze Ward and Stone Ward to get Flare Cape x3. (Kowz 3/5)

Nordopolica: Near Belius’ Room, Talk to the man outside the Nordopolica Warehouse and Clear the warehouse minigame to get Specific x3, Treat x3, Paralysis Ward and 2000 Gald. (Warehouse Master 4/5)

Myorzo: Enter Elder’s Residence to get Abyssion. (Fell arms 1/11)

World Map: Use a Mat, Simple Mat, Tent or Barrier to get Flynn’s “Dazzling Spin” arcane arte. (Other guides say “repeatedly”; this may need an accumulated total uses of these items for it to trigger)

World Map: Fly with Ba’ul for a short time once 4 fell arms are owned for a scene (Fell arms 5/11) (This is a premature scene when bringing 4+ unpowered fell arms into an EX New Game)

Note: When approaching Zaude to proceed, the party’s dialog gets a slight extension when approaching by air.

While in Zaude

Zaude: In the area after the first water area, take the exit toward the screen and approach the entrance guards for a scene. (This is just a short “can’t go this way” – memo to self, consider removal)

At this point the game needs progressing in three areas – Phaeroh’s Crag, the Erealumen Crystallands and Relewiese Hollow. Going to Phaeroh’s Crag before Erealumen extends scenes in Erealumen. Going to Erealumen before Relewiese extends a scene half-way down Relewiese, and going to Relewiese before Erealumen gives a minor extension to the boss scene at Erealumen. There are no extensions for visiting Phaeroh’s Crag last.
