Octopath Traveler: 10 Side Quests That Give Amazing Rewards

Octopath Traveler surprised Square Enix fans with its intuitive combat system and callbacks to retro RPGs. One of the game’s strongest points lies in its rich, lore-heavy story. As players travel across Orsterra, they run into a bevy of characters that enrich the world in both minor and major ways.

Many of these people have their own set of woes that the adventuring party can take upon themselves to fix. Should they choose to do so, the party can find themselves enriched in their own way, especially in the form of high-end equipment. Though most of these quests unlock late in the game, the items received help greatly in the harder chapters.

10 Ria, Born To Roam (III)

Throughout the Sunlands, players run into Ria, a woman uncovering the nefarious secrets of a corrupt desert chieftain. In this final chapter to her saga, Alfyn or Cyrus must use their skills to uncover the Chieftan’s Schedule so she can corner him.

Ria then reveals herself to be the Marsalim king’s daughter and rewards the party with 11,000 leaves, a large Magic Nut, and a Princess’s Coat. The coat’s decent defenses are amplified with its ability to heal 100 HP each turn.

9 Noelle, Seeker Of Knowledge (III)

Noelle, a historian tracking the journey of the ancient King Beowulf, finds herself in Everhold looking for a tapestry. To bring her story to a close, the players steal or purchase said tapestry from a carpenter in town.

As thanks, Noelle gives 11,000 leaves, a large Tough Nut to increase defense, and a Historian’s Hat. The hat has very solid defenses with an added benefit of restoring SP, perfect for characters like Cyrus who need a lot to use their skills.

8 Keeping Up With The Wyndhams

Cordelia Ravus is an important figure in Therion’s storyline, and it turns out that she and Noa Wyndham from Tressa’s storyline are pen pals. Unfortunately, a letter from Noa landed in the hands of a roadside bandit just outside of Grandport.

Challenge/Provoke the thief to retrieve the letter. Noa and Cordelia will have a reunion and give the player 12,000 leaves and a Blessed Blazon as thanks. The Blessed Blazon is a powerful defensive accessory that increases physical and elemental defenses by 100.

7 Shadow Over The Sands

A giant snake has been seen in the Quicksand Caves north of Wellspring. Inquire/Scrutinize an injured soldier along the way to get information on a snake charmer who commands the serpent. The villain offers a challenging fight; while his snake has nearly twice as much health, it should be taken care of first if at all possible.

For a reward, players get 8,000 leaves and a Transcendent Bow of Shadows, which is one of the most powerful bows and can sometimes confuse targets.

6 Lianna And Eliza

After freeing Wispermill from the Remnant cult and defeating Redeye, Ophilia’s sister, Lianna, and Knight Ardante Eliza attempt to pick off the remaining cultists. The party needs to head to the Forest of Purgation outside of Wispermill and Provoke/Challenge the Remnant leader, who continues to sabotage the women’s efforts.

After defeating the man and hearing a heartwarming exchange between the two women, the party receives 11,000 leaves and a Bishop’s Staff. It’s one of the most powerful staves in the game and increases light damage, making it perfect for Ophilia.

5 Russell’s Repentance

Once Cyrus’s rival, the former scholar Russell now hopes to atone for his transgressions at a printing press. He asks for the party’s help gathering research on the histories of Orsterra’s regions.

Inquire/Scrutinize various know-it-alls to learn about the histories of the Cliftlands, Frostlands, and Woodlands. In return, Russell thanks the party for a chance to start a new chapter in his life. Players receive 9,000 leaves and a set of Confessional Armor, which boasts incredibly high defense and reduces ice damage.

4 Heathcote’s High Jinks

Heathcote, the butler of Ravus Manor, receives a letter saying that his greatest treasure will be stolen by someone named Nighteye. Tracking down an old man from Wispermill and guiding/alluring him back to Bolderfall, he swipes the Cat’s Eye gem from Heathcote, true to his word.

The butler reveals that the two were former rivals in the thieving business, and the gem belonged to a woman both had pined for. The reward for this quest is 12,000 leaves and Heathcote’s Dagger, which has the strongest Elemental attack of any dagger and increases fire damage.

3 Zeph And Mercedes (II)

Zeph and Mercedes have a love connection that was unfortunately cut short after the latter moved away. However, the party tracks her down in Atlasdam, where she found work at the Royal Academy’s library.

Like Zeph, Mercedes has a letter that must be stolen or purchased to take back to Clearbrook. After the two realize their shared feelings for one another, they reunite to have a presumably happily-ever-after. The party receives 11,000 leaves and the Memorial Axe, the strongest axe in the game.

2 The Adventures Of Ali

Ali ran from home to make a name for himself as a merchant. Throughout Tressa’s story, players see him accomplish this goal. However, Ali hesitates to return to his father Maruf, whom he had left without a word.

The party must guide/allure Maruf from Marsalim to Sunshade, where the two reconcile and return home. 9,000 leaves and the Tradewinds Spear await those who complete this mission. The Tradewinds Spear is the most powerful polearm in terms of elemental attack, and it also increases wind damage.

1 Hello Again, Harald

After Olberic and company liberate Riverford, Harald (leader of the town’s resistance force) takes charge in its restoration. Reggie, a fellow resistance member, hears that Harald had sold his late mother’s necklace to fund the project. To get it back, the party must fight a guard in Wellspring and buy/steal the necklace from a merchant.

After, Harald realizes that he doesn’t need to do things alone and that he can always depend on his friends. The reward is 8,000 leaves and Harald’s Sword, the second-most powerful sword in the game that also increases fire damage.
