--- Quote from: Helepolis on October 01, 2017, 04:56:09 PM ---Help requested. My current progress is at 17/26 endings and 57/60 quests. Also lots of missing fish, weapons, skills and such, but those aren't my focus yet. My current focus is on completing all quests so I can worry about the remaining endings. My current progress: https://twitter.com/HelepolisH/status/914391727452147712
I am wondering if anybody has completed all quests. If yes, please read the following spoiler and answer me "Yea, you're on the right track" or "No, that/those have nothing to do".

For quests:
- Yes.

- No.
- No.
Leads:
- No.
- Yes.
- Yes.
Thoughts:
- If that's the chest I'm thinking of, Yes.
- No.
Helepolis:
Thanks for the help Solciel. Then I guess I am on the right track for 2 of the 3 missing quests. I'll be trying harder tonight.
Regarding one of the quests:
Spoiler: I am guessing also that I will never be able to complete 4S' quest without encountering the giant Emil heads as they will technically count as an enemy. Boy, this game is sure hard
Ionasal kkll Solciel:
Now, I know you said you don't want hints, but check out the Chapter Select when you have time. It'll let you know who you need to play as in order to get certain quests active, and when you can access them. I know I missed a couple of 2B only quests on my first run.
Helepolis:
That is exactly what I am doing. For example, I got to Chapter Select and if I select "Meat Box". It says I am missing one quest. Upon unfolding the paragraphs, I keep scrolling down until the quest counter for the characters shows 4/5. The first paragraph in that chapter shows 4/4 for 9S and then for the next one it shows 4/5. I assume this is the moment to play the chapter and seek out the quest, right?
Helepolis:
After struggling for for 3 weeks almost, I have completed all side quests. However, it was entirely achieved by my self. I decided to discuss my progress with a RL person I know (who was at same progress) and looked up 1 hint. This is what happened (MEGA SPOILER WARNING, do not read unless you have at least all main endings, even then it is still a major spoiler because getting all 60 quests is quite fun:
Spoiler: Discussing the case with that person gave me some viable information on reading the Chapter Select statistics. I was reading it wrong the whole time. The last two chapters were showing 1/2 for 9S, making me thing there was a quest on each chapter. But this isn't true. Those numbers are duplicates. The actual quest that I was following and had to complete was 4S' quest and Emil.
@ Ionasal kkll Solcie Spoiler: Not entirely as an excuse on my side, but saying 'Yes' to the sleeping NPC at the crates me really think it was a quest. But it wasn't. He has nothing to do with it past Sorting Trouble 3. This I discovered after checking my quest status with that RL person, as he had 58/60 and I had 57/60.
Back to what happened: Spoiler: After learning how to read and interpret the Quest counter, I jumped back a few chapters. The quest I was missing was "Lost Equipment" which the Commander had assigned me to find at the Abandoned Factory. I did pick up that, but forgot to give it at the Bunker to her. FML maximum! So that was quest 57!
Remaining the last two quests which one is surely Emil and other is surely 4S. And I had a feeling that you needed Emil first to complete 4S' quest. And it was true. However, I tried and tried to find Emil's quest. Struggling for days, revisiting almost every single place and corner of the world I couldn't find it. I decided to look up a hint to see what happens past "Emil's Memory"
The spoiler hint was talking about a specific area I would've honestly never ever guess. Not at this point of the game, because I was so lost and frustrated. I remember at some point I was thinking of attempting that one place. Anyway, without spoiling too much within spoilers: I manage to get the final two quests and completed 60/60. It was quite thrilling.
