Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn contains 13 Side Quest Locations. Finding and completing all Side Quests unlocks The Home Front trophy or achievement. There are 4 Side Quests in the first map of the game, Three Peaks, and another 9 in the second map of the game, Wanderer’s Rest. Side Quests are always started by talking to the Host at Coffee Shops while the Sapper Quests can only be started after recruiting Campsite members. While this guide is intended for use during the story, all Side Quests can still be found and completed after the story, nothing is missable because there’s still free-roam after the story..
Three Peaks
- Peacekeepers (Side Quest): can be started by talking to the Host at the Coffee Shop in Gavel Gate. The Side Quest marker is incidentally in the same general area of the Main Quest Battle Hardened. When you arrive at the marker, disrupt the area and then follow the bandits into the cave.
- Lost to Battle (Sapper Quest): can be started by talking to Baz. Head to the mine south-west and make your way through it until you can speak with a survivor. You’ll obtain Baz’s Blunderbuss. Defeat the horde and the remaining enemies and then leave the mine. You can fast-travel back to Baz to report to him.
- A Delayed Reunion (Side Quest): can be started by talking to the Host at the Coffee Shop in Whitebridge. Head to Enlightened Peak via the Rifts found south-west of the Coffee Shop in Whitebridge and speak with Obas. Then, continue up the mountain to make progress in the Side Quest.
- A Shot in the Dark (Side Quest): can be started by talking to the Host at the Coffee Shop in Whitebridge. You’ll be able to complete this Side Quest when reaching the City of Writ as part of the Main Quest Powder and Steel. You’ll have to defeat some powerful adds.
Wanderer’s Rest
- Tempered Bonds (Sapper Quest): can be started by talking to Jung at the campsite immediately after arriving at Wanderer’s Rest. Get to the Knights’ camp, talk to the sentirti and then confront the commander. While he says you can’t use powder, you can and this is the only way to advance the quest. Once you do, he will call the rest of the guards to action. Defeat everyone to obtain the Warlock’s Gauntlet, then return to Jung at the campsite to end this quest.
- No Rest for the Wicked (Side Quest): can be started after liberating the First Anchor hamlet and talking to the Host and the Coffee Shop. Once you’ve located the wanted man, you must find three caches in the objective areas. These are all very easy to find and you will come across them while exploring for collectibles and materials. Once you have all three caches, return to Jiri. When you get back to him, he’ll turn hostile. Defeat him to acquire the Wildfire Mortar firearm.
- Ascension (Side Quest): can be started after liberating the First Anchor hamlet and talking to the Host and the Coffee Shop. Talk to the woman near the shrine and follow her to the location she teleports to until you reach the very top of the mountain where an Enki Feather and the end of the quest awaits you.
- When Duty Calls (Side Quest): can be started after liberating the First Anchor hamlet and talking to the Host and the Coffee Shop. Get to Captain Azra and talk to him to continue the quest. Then, make your way to each of the three markers to rally up as many allies as possible for the upcoming fight. When you’ve tried convincing everyone, return to the Captain to initiate the battle. Kill everyone during the onslaught to complete the quest, at whose end you’ll receive the Skirmisher’s Pistol firearm.
- To the Forgotten (Side Quest): can be started after liberating the First Anchor hamlet and talking to the Host and the Coffee Shop. Head to the quest marker in south First Anchor and light the brazier. Then, continue south-east to find a stone staircase leading to the second brazier. Finally, continue to the very top to find a pyre to set on fire and conclude the quest.
- In Safe Hands (Sapper Quest): can only be started after rescuing Johara and convincing her to join the campsite. This is an automatic, story-related event taking place at the end of Main Quest The Enemy’s Grasp, after defeating your dark self. After rescuing her, slide down the hill and rest at the campsite. Now talk to Luca to initiate this Sapper Quest. To complete this quest, go to both white markers in east Backharvest, then return to Luca to report. Completing this Sapper Quest rewards you with the Firespitter firearm.
- To Turn the Tide (Side Quest): can be accepted from the Host at the Coffee Shop in Backharvest after liberating it. Get to the marker and clear tour way to the top. At the top, defeat the horde and then talk to your allies to end the quest.
- Prizefight (Side Quest): can be accepted from the Host at the Coffee Shop in Backharvest after liberating it. Get to Exile’s Cradle (north of Backharvest) and compete in the arena challenge. Upon winning you will end this quest.
- The Family Condition (Sapper Quest): can only be started after completing In Safe Hands. Once you have, talk to Johara to start this Sapper Quest. Talk to her again to travel to Cerith Estate. This is a new location specific to this side quest that you cannot revisit after. There’s nothing trophy-related in this area, so you can’t miss out on anything. Simply complete this linear side quest and when you’re back in Wanderer’s Rest, talk to Johara again to complete it and get the Thicker than Blood trophy. This should be your last Side Quest, thus earning you The Home Front trophy. Lastly, with this Sapper Quest complete, you will automatically fully upgrade your campsite, thus earning you Fully Furnished.
These are all the Side Quest locations in Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn.
