Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Quest Guide: All Quests and how to complete them

Quests form a huge part of the experience of Xenoblade Chronicles 3, and in tried and true RPG tradition, much of the content in this huge game is actually attached to various optional side quest lines. This page is a complete quest walkthrough guide, featuring all quests in Xenoblade 3 and details on exactly how to complete each and every one of them.

This guide is now complete, meaning it features how to start and complete every quest in XC. As such, this guide will also contain minor spoilers, including around the identities of hero characters, as each hero has several quests connected to them. Sidequest names also occasionally allude to certain story events. We've tried to keep spoilers to a minimum, but if you want to follow the guide and avoid spoilers, we advise against reading ahead.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Quests guide: Starting Pointers

In truth, most quests in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 are relatively straightforward. In most cases, you simply need to follow the on-screen markers, and more often than not you'll be able to complete any given quest without any issue.

Some quests might have hard choices to make, fiddly quest start methods, or hidden items to find, however - and this guide will help you with that, offering bare-bones walkthroughs for each of the quests, including how to start them.

In particular, with such a big world as in Xenoblade 3, it's sometimes hard to know when quests become available. For the most part, you can think of this guide a bit like a checklist, to make sure you've encountered all the quests you can in each chapter of the game - though it also features mini-walkthroughs on how to beat all quests in the game.

There is one thing we should note, which is about missable quests. Unlike some previous Xenoblade titles, there thankfully seem to be no quests that can be missed permanently due to story progression, so you are free to explore at your leisure and find quests at your own pace, without worry about missing anything.

Without further ado, the quests found in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 can be found below, separated by chapter. If there are any questions, omissions, or mistakes, let us know in the comments!
