Common Quest Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them

After completing every quest in Excry multiple times, I’ve identified common mistakes that can hinder your progress or cause you to miss content.

Time-Sensitive Quests

Several quests in Excry are only available during specific time periods or after certain story events:

  1. The Fading Light – Only available during the in-game festival of lights (occurs once per in-game year)
    • Solution: Keep track of the in-game calendar and prioritize this quest when it appears
  2. The Fugitive – Must be completed before advancing to Chapter 5
    • Solution: Complete this quest as soon as it becomes available in Chapter 4
  3. The Burning Village – Disappears after completing the main story quest “The Final Battle”
    • Solution: Complete this side quest before advancing to the final chapter

Mutually Exclusive Quests

Some quest choices will prevent you from accessing others:

  1. Choosing between the Merchants’ Guild and Shadow Syndicate
    • Solution: Complete most quests for both factions before making the final choice in “The Ultimate Betrayal”
  2. The Lovers’ Quarrel – Choosing to help one character will prevent you from helping the other
    • Solution: Save before making the choice, complete the quest with one character, reload, and complete it with the other

Missable Hidden Quests

Several hidden quests have very specific triggers that are easy to miss:

  1. The Singing Sword – Requires you to hum a specific tune near the ancient statue
    • Solution: Learn the tune from the bard in Oakhaven and visit the statue at dawn
  2. The Invisible Bridge – Only appears after it rains in the Forbidden Valley
    • Solution: Wait for rainy weather or use a Weather Change scroll if you have one
  3. The Dream Walker – Requires you to sleep in the same bed three nights in a row
    • Solution: Rent a room at the inn and sleep there for three consecutive nights

Advanced Quest Strategies

For experienced players looking to optimize their questing experience, these advanced strategies can help you complete content more efficiently.

Quest Batching

Group quests by location to minimize travel time:

  1. Oakhaven Batch – Complete all Oakhaven side quests and daily quests in one run
  2. Crystal Lake Batch – Combine Crystal Lake side quests with faction quests in the area
  3. Wilderness Batch – Plan a route that hits multiple wilderness quest locations in sequence

Quest Preparation

Prepare for quests in advance to save time:

  1. Stock up on common quest items (potions, tools, etc.)
  2. Keep a “quest inventory” with frequently needed items
  3. Pre-complete prerequisite quests when possible
  4. Level up appropriately before starting difficult quest chains

Time Management

Optimize your questing schedule:

  1. Complete daily quests first to reset the timer
  2. Save weekly quests for weekends when you have more time
  3. Use in-game waiting functions to trigger time-specific quests
  4. Plan your quest route to minimize backtracking

Frequently Asked Questions

How many total quests are in Excry?

Excry contains 162 unique quests: 25 main story quests, 87 side quests, 32 faction quests, 18 hidden quests, and various daily/weekly quests. This number may increase with future DLC or updates.

Can I complete all quests in one playthrough?

Yes, it’s possible to complete all quests in a single playthrough, but it requires careful planning. The main challenges are time-sensitive quests and mutually exclusive questlines. Save frequently and consider using a quest checklist to track your progress.

What happens if I miss a time-sensitive quest?

Most missed time-sensitive quests cannot be recovered in the same playthrough. You would need to reload an earlier save or start a new game. This is why it’s important to prioritize these quests when they become available.

Are there any quests that become unavailable after completing the main story?

Yes, several side quests and faction quests become unavailable after completing the final main story quest. Make sure to complete all desired side content before advancing to the final chapter.

Do quest choices affect the ending?

Yes, certain major quest choices, particularly in faction questlines and key main story decisions, will affect which ending you receive. Excry has multiple endings based on your choices throughout the game.

Is there a level requirement for quests?

Most quests have recommended level requirements, though you can attempt them at any level. Quests significantly above your level will be more difficult but often provide better rewards if completed early.

Can I replay quests after completing them?

Most quests cannot be replayed in the same playthrough. However, New Game+ mode allows you to restart with your character intact, giving you the opportunity to make different choices and experience different quest outcomes.

How do I track which quests I’ve completed?

You can view your quest history in the journal section of the menu. Completed quests are marked with a checkmark. For hidden quests, consider keeping an external checklist as they don’t always appear in the journal until discovered.

Are there any quests with multiple outcomes?

Yes, many quests in Excry have multiple outcomes based on your choices, dialogue options, or approach (stealth vs. combat). These different outcomes can affect rewards, character relationships, and future quest availability.

What’s the most rewarding quest in the game?

While “rewarding” can be subjective, the hidden quest “The Dragon’s Treasure” generally provides the most valuable combination of unique equipment, rare materials, and a large amount of gold. However, it’s also one of the most difficult quests, requiring high level and preparation.

Conclusion

Excry’s quest system is one of its greatest strengths, offering hundreds of hours of engaging content across multiple quest types.
