We found a total of 118 side quests during our time with Visions of Mana, ranging from quick diversions to lengthy parts of a larger narrative.

In general, though, most of them boil down to the usual fetch quest or scavenger hunt. They also never last longer than about half an hour, save for those split up into multiple parts or with a bit more substance for players to dig into.

We’ve listed all of these quests below so that you can keep track of where they’re found and whether or not you need to complete them to get a specific reward or to unlock another quest later on.
