---

Just like with the past Trails of Cold Steel games, Trails Of Cold Steel 3 also has plentiful of optional Side Quests for you to delve into and hopefully complete.

​Some of which are missable and have a set time limit in order to complete them too. Below is a guide on how to complete all of the Chapter 3 Side Quests and where to find each one. 

1)
​QUEST NAME: Tip of the Spear
QUEST GIVER: Jessica
DATE: 6/10 – Saturday
LOCATION: Training Ground – Campus
GUIDE:

This one is actually really easy despite the fact that your having to use Jessica on a one-on-one against Rean. The most simple and easiest method to win this is to use Earth Pulse to keep yourself healed, Piercing Blitz (this should lower Rean’s defence), then after that just keep spamming him with Cold Nail (this should freeze Rean and make him miss a turn). If you keep doing this and all in this order you should be fine!

Thus inspect and talk to all of the little green marks on the map in order to collect the necessary fees, now once you have finished speaking to the final one, another boat will appear and its obvious that this boat is rather big.
Up on talking to this owner you will realise something is wrong as he is only paying for a semi-big boat whilst his boat should be classed as big instead. Now in order to get the maximum amount of rewards for this you will need to speak to the nearby Sailors BEFORE reporting back to Eston

​QUEST NAME: Night Rider
QUEST GIVER: Cathy
DATE: 6/17 (Saturday / Night)
LOCATION: Ikaros Mart – Raquel
GUIDE:

This quest is only available on the night time and you need to have four party members, so progress the story until then. After which you should be able to find Cathy inside Ikaros Mart. 
Apparently the manager of the Mart and Cathy’s brother is missing and perhaps something bad has happened to him and thus we need to help find him.
As you are now free to explore West Languedoc Canyon Road, I suggest you do so. You will find the missing brother marked with a red marker on the map. However, before you can save him you will need to fight an Abyss Worm which isn’t exactly too tough, simply use your Orders to increase your attack and spam S-Craft until its in Break and then just finish it off. Otherwise, just keep delaying it.
