About Quests[]

Quests are simply tasks which Scarlett can perform in order to succeed in her overarching goal, stopping the Undead Archon. Some quests are quite simple and straightforward; other tasks may require many steps. Some quests will spawn other, subordinate or sequel quests. Some Quests require other, prerequisite quests be completed first.


Active Quest List[]

Scarlett will have many quests going on at the same time. To help the player keep track of what quests have been assigned, the games inventory screen provides an "Active Quests" page which lists each quest Scarlett has received but has not yet completed. Selecting a specific quest reveals a journal page describing the details of the quest, what steps Scarlett has already completed for that quest, and what Scarlett must do next to continue that quest. Some quests will remain active for a very long time, as Scarlett will need to deal with many prerequisites first. For example, The Undead Archon quest will be her first assignment, near the start of the game, and will remain at the top of her to-do list for the entire game.


An Active Quest List



Quest Map[]

The player can activate "show on map" for any one Quest at a time; Just select it on the Active Quest List. That causes the next location Scarlett should visit to pursue that quest to appear as a small green dot on the map (and inset mini-map). This is useful in finding the proper building, room, or even location within a building, for Scarlett to find whomever or whatever she needs to locate. Sometimes, Scarlett will receive a quest to visit some unknown location (e.g., "go to Nox's house,"). The only way she can learn where "Nox" lives is to use the built-in quest map. (Consider the game's maps of Venice and the quest maps as embodiments of the Journals that Don and Nesto gave to Scarlett early in the game.) It's also useful in seeking a person involved in a quest who isn't always at the same location, such as Rico or Kronos.

Some Quests can't be advanced until other prerequisite events have occurred, giving Scarlett access to locations or objects that are needed. (In this case, the location shown on the quest map is sometimes bogus.)

Some Quests may show multiple locations, especially if it doesn't matter which order Scarlett visits them.

Completed Quests[]

The inventory screen also provides a "Completed Quests" page which records past quests and details what tasks Scarlett performed to complete it. Note that it's sometimes necessary to return to the person who assigned the quest to Scarlett, possible requesting a reward, in order to formally complete the quest and move it from the active list to the completed list.


Do I Have To?[]

Many quests are mandatory: Scarlett must complete them in order to succeed in her primary goal of defeating the Undead Archon.

Some quests are optional: Completing them will add to Scarlett's Experience and Reputation. Scarlett can undertake these tasks by requesting work from characters such as the Guard Captain of the Inner City or the Judge. Or, Scarlett may request assignments from the head of whichever Guild she joined. Other optional quests can be obtained by simply talking to citizens in need of help. Scarlett may accept or decline such optional quests. Even for those quests that she accepts, she may choose not to complete them before completing the game. She will have to complete at least some optional quests in order to gain enough Experience and Reputation to finally succeed.




List of Quests[]

Scarlett isn't given quests in a fixed order. Depending on where she goes and who she talks to first, she can receive them in different order. However, there is a rough order based on where the quest originates. (Some quests take a long time to accomplish, and are completed in different locations. Also, it's possible for Scarlett to go back to earlier locations and receive or complete quests that could have been dealt with earlier.) The quests below are listed by where Scarlett first gets the quest, in roughly the order she may encounter them.
