Quests & Objectives

Open Quest or Journal

Note: These instructions use the game’s default controls. To change your button settings, go to Settings → Keyboard & Mouse → Button Settings.

Quest: Find Your Next Step

Start with Main Story if you are unsure what to do next. Select your chapter, read the quest name and current objective on the right, then use Track at the bottom. This puts the instruction on your gameplay HUD.

A quest name can stay the same while its objective changes. Match both with Main Story Tracker to find the right step in this guide.

Main Story

Follow the gold icon for the chapter storyline and the activities it unlocks.

Lost Chapter

If your Main Story objective asks you to complete another named quest, find it here and track it first. Finish it, then return to Main Story. These additional stories include the groups below:

Campaign: Adventures through major locations, with exploration, puzzles and boss fights.
Jianghu Legacy: Regional story adventures, also recorded in Journal's Jianghu Legacy collection.
Worldly Affairs: Stories about characters, their troubles and their relationships.

Encounter

Stories discovered through clues, people and events in the world.

Exploration

Local tasks, activity objectives and tutorials.

Reach the Marker and Find the Object

Find the tracked destination on Map and travel to a nearby unlocked Boundary Stone (opens in a new tab). Follow the marker on foot, checking its height indicator: a target above or below you may need stairs, a cave entrance or a route around a building.

In the search area, use Wind Sense (opens in a new tab), approach the named target and use its interaction prompt. Check Quest for any specific NPC or time requirement.

Wind Sense highlights people and objects inside the search area. — Wind Sense (opens in a new tab) highlights people and objects inside the search area.

Journal: Check Regional Progress

Use Journal when you want to find regional activities or collect rewards for something you finished. Choose the region and collection, then open an entry for clues and completion status. Campaign and Jianghu Legacy are recorded here; track their active tasks through Lost Chapter in Quest.

Progress and Rewards: Open an entry for clues, completion status and rewards. Select Claim when a completed entry has a reward available.

Each collection card shows its own completion percentage.

What’s Stopping You?

My Main Story asks for a Lost Chapter

Find the quest named in your current objective under Lost Chapter. Complete it, then return to Main Story to see the next step.

I can't find a task

Check its Quest category and the To Be Accepted or Completed sections where available. For a regional activity, also check its collection in Journal.

I Found the Object But Cannot Interact

Read the active Quest objective again. Complete any earlier conversation, inspection or time requirement it still names. Then approach the object closely enough for its interaction prompt to appear.

The Marker Changed to a Different Task

Open Quest and track the intended task again. Check its name on the HUD before following the new marker.
