As well as its 30-hour main story, Tales of Arise boasts plenty of side activities to keep players busy. These include fishing, weapon crafting, and Gigant Zeugle hunting, but the most time-consuming of them all are undoubtedly the game's many sub-quests. There are 70 of them in total, with 11 of these being initiated in the game's first realm, Calaglia.
While the majority of Calaglia's sub-quests can be completed fairly early on, there are a few which won't become available until much later on in the story. This means that players will need to regularly check back in with the people of the realm to look for new ones, or, at the very least, keep an eye out for the envelope icons – which signify an available quest – in Tales of Arise's fast travel menu.
Updated November 5, 2021 by Tom Bowen: With more than one and a half million sales in its first two months alone, Tales of Arise seems destined to become one of the best-selling Tales games of all time. A big part of this is down to the game's fantastic main story, though some of its side-quests are every bit as compelling. There are eleven such sub-quests in Calaglia, several of which can be a little tricky for those who don't know what they're doing. This guide will provide information on how to complete them, as well as let players know about the rewards that are on offer for those who do so.
