Quest

Quests are missions given to the player by a non-playable character. They are usually optional, although completing them can award the player with powerful weapons, devastating spells, rare items, stat boosts, just to name a few.
Quests can be very different from one another, sometimes requiring the player to find and bring back a special item to the quest giver, slay a certain monster, perform an action in a specific location, etc.
==Game specific information==
===Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin===
In this game, quests are given to Jonathan and Charlotte by Wind. All quests are optional, although they are key in obtaining new items, stat boosts or powerful weapons.
The player can only start a maximum of five quests at any given time, as there are only five "quest slots" available. Once a quest has been commenced, it cannot be removed from the quest list by any means but only until it has been completed. This potentially could be a problem if, for example, the player sold a crucial item required for a quest beforehand, making the acquisition of a replacement a hard task, such as being forced to get it in a new game+ or obtaining it from another player. Furthermore, the pending quest will remain occupying one of the five quest slots for a big portion of the game, depriving the player the ability to start other quests once they become available if the quest queue is full.
Not all quests are available from the start; new quests will become available as the player progresses through the game. These are usually triggered by specific events, generally being after defeating an area boss.
After completing all quests, the Magus Ring will appear in the room to the left of Wind's room as the ultimate reward.
Quest 	Requirements 	Strategy 	Reward
Preparations"The priest should have some useful things for you in the next room. Get the potion and map." 	PotionCastle Map 1 	The only quest that must be completed in order to progress in the game; all Wind asks the player is to buy a Castle Map 1 and a Potion from Vincent in the room to the right. The player starts with two Potions already in their inventory; as long as they have at least one of these, all they need to do is buy the Castle Map 1 and report back to Wind to complete the quest. 	Lizard Tail
Supersonic Punch"Go to the butcher in town and mince some meat to get "Ground Meat"." 	Ground Meat 	In the City of Haze, there is a room at the top-left corner of the first building with three dangling pieces of meat. Unequip any weapon from Jonathan, punch the meat with his bare hands and it will turn into a Ground Meat. If the player punches the other two pieces, they will turn into Ground Meats too; however, if they pick up the first one and then punch the other pieces, these will turn into Hearts instead. 	Bullet Punch
Ghosts of the Desert"There is a room in which many ghosts gather. Defeat the Great Ghost that appears there." 	Defeat the Great Ghost 	In the Sandy Grave, in the bottom-rightmost room of the upper right area, Ghosts will spawn constantly. After killing enough of them, a Great Ghost will appear.

Overcome the Curse"Go, and come back when you've been cursed." 	Get cursed and return to Wind before the effect passes 	Warp to the Warp Point near the Nation of Fools, drop one room and let the hero get cursed by the Lilith in there. Then return to the Warp Point, warp to the Entrance and report back to Wind.Alternatively, the player can wear a Skull Ring if the file is a New Game+ with one in possession. 	Blessed Ring
The Statue's Tear"Find the "Statue's Tear" buried under the rubble and bring it here." 	Statue's Tear 	In the Nation of Fools there is a statue of Virgin Mary in the lower left corner of the map. If the player examines it before gaining access to the quest, Jonathan or Charlotte will remark that it's an unusual place for a statue. After starting the quest and examining it, the statue will start bleeding from its eyes and the player will receive the Statue's Tear. Report back to Wind to complete the quest. 	Holy Water
The Martial Art"Jonathan, let's see you enter this command:↑ ← ↓ → + Y" 	Press↑, ←, ↓, → + Y 	Perform the required button combination. 	Martial Art
Holy Appearance"Charlotte, I'll teach you a healing spell. Come back wearing three nun items." 	Nun's RobesNun's HabitNun's Shoes 	Charlotte must wear three nun items in front of Wind. The Nun's Shoes are in the City of Haze, the Nun's Robes are in a secret room near the entrance to the Nation of Fools (break the ceiling just before entering the room with the painting) and the Nun's Habit is in plain sight in a room near the entrance to the Sandy Grave. 	Heal
Number of Fortune"I'll teach you a lucky spell. Come back when the last 3 digits of your money are 777." 	Make the last three digits of your gold end in 777 	The best way to achieve this is by trading items with Vincent until nearing the target amount of gold, then enter the City of Haze via the nearby painting and get the remaining gold from the first lamp post. 	LUCK Boost
Mental Training 1"Go reduce your MP, then come back." 	Deplete all of your MP 	There are two ways to satisfy the quest's requirement. The player can either use their skills until their MP is too low, or they can get cursed, be it through enemies or by equipping the Skull Ring. 	MP Max Up
Mental Training 2"Go find the "Thick Glasses". That should make you look a little smarter." 	Thick Glasses 	Find the Thick Glasses in the City of Haze. They are in the upper-left room of the first big hall after defeating Dullahan. This room requires the Owl or Toad Morph spell to fully explore it, but the Thick Glasses are just within reach. 	MP Max Up
The Spear of Legend"Become a master of the "Javelin". I will then bequeath you my spear." 	Master the Javelin 	Master the Javelin by using it to defeat enemies. 	Alucard's Spear
Mental Training 3"Go raise your INT to at least 100, then come back." 	Raise INT to at least 100 	This is easier with Charlotte, who has higher innate INT than Jonathan. Equip as many INT-boosting items as she can wear (Kirtle or Dalmatica, Thick Glasses or Holy Veil, Artemis Shoes, Silent or Royal Sandals, Blue Cape or Paludamentum, etc.), then use the INT Boost spell to add another 30 points (you need to fully charge the spell - to do that, keep holding Up and Attack until the bar fills twice). Twin Bee can help with this if the file selected has bested Hard difficulty with a lv. cap of 25 or 1. 	MP Max Up
Nest of Evil"When 888% of the map is filled, the path to the "Nest of Evil" will open at the castle gates." 	Explore at least 888% of the game map 	By the time the player reaches this quest, they should already have more than 888% map rate uncovered, unless they took many shortcuts. Be aware that the whole game map includes all of the painting stages. Once the quest is completed, if the player returns to the room that houses the drawbridge into Dracula's Castle (at the Entrance) and goes the bottom-right corner of that room, they will find that a secret passage has opened up. Following this passage will lead to the Nest of Evil. 	Opens the entrance to the Nest of Evil
Defeat the Ghoul King"Go and defeat the "Ghoul King"." 	Defeat the Ghoul King 	In 13th Street, there are some rooms with respawning Ghouls. After killing a few Ghouls, the Ghoul King will appear. Defeat it. 	Immunity Ring
Abandon Greed"You lack desperation. Come back when you have no money." 	Get rid of all gold 	The player must have 0 gold in total, so every cent must be spent. To complete this quest, the player may start by buying an expensive item they may have been waiting to acquire (like the Golden Axe, Arachne Hennin, Dalmatica, Master Ring, Holy Claymore, etc.). Once this has been done, the player should study Vincent's wares list and choose the item which its cost is slightly higher than their remaining gold. Next, the player should move to the large room outside and keep breaking Candles to obtain coins until they reach exactly the amount of gold necessary to buy that item, then return to the shop and buy it to end up with 0 gold. 	Miser Ring
A Rank Hunter"Defeat a total of 1,500 enemies. As a reward, I'll give you a new weapon." 	Defeat 1,500 enemies 	Recommended places to complete this quest are rooms in the Buried Chamber where many Mud Men spawn, or the desert areas of Sandy Grave and Forgotten City, where Mummies appear constantly.The total amount of enemies killed throughout the course of the game can be consulted in the pause menu. 	Royal Sword
Mental Training 4"Go raise your MND to at least 100, then come back." 	Raise MND to at least 100 	Like the above "Mental Training 3" quest, it is better to do this with Charlotte. This quest is easier to complete, though. In the Sandy Grave the player can find a Charm Necklace (MND +10); however, due to a possible scripting error, they'll obtain two of them instead. Since MND grows about 10 points higher than INT, then the player should have no problem in completing this quest by the time they complete "Mental Training 3". Start by equipping the two Charm Necklaces. If the player reaches 70 MND points, all they need then is to cast a fully charged MIND Boost to obtain the remaining 30 MND points. If they still can't reach the desired amount, equipping any MND boosting gear they have will help (Nun's Robes, Frilly Camisole, Robe Decollete, Nun's Habit, Artemis Shoes, Silent or Royal Sandals, etc.). 	MP Max Up
S Rank Hunter"Defeat a total of 3,000 enemies." 	Defeat 3,000 enemies 	Recommended places to complete this quest are rooms in the Buried Chamber where many Mud Men spawn, or the desert areas of Sandy Grave and Forgotten City, where Mummies appear constantly.The total amount of enemies killed throughout the course of the game can be consulted in the pause menu.Once the quest is completed, Wind will reward Jonathan with the Undead Killer, a very strong whip that can kill what would otherwise be unkillable in the game, like Red Skeletons and Red Axe Armors. 	Undead Killer
The Gambler"Collect five cards." 	SpadeDiamondHeartClubJoker 	This one can be frustrating because the clue is very vague. The player must defeat five certain enemies that drop a playing card, then return to Wind with all five cards in possession.Spade - Yorick (Forgotten City, Burnt Paradise, Nest of Evil)Diamond - Coppelia (Nation of Fools)Heart - Nyx (13th Street, Nest of Evil)Club - Treant (Forest of Doom)Joker - Killer Clown (Nation of Fools) 	Gambler Glasses
Hands of the Clock"Come to me when the short hand of the great clock points to 12." 	The clock must mark 12:00 	Talk to Wind when the clock on the DS system is either at noon or midnight (12:00 a.m. or p.m./00:00 or 12:00 in 24 hour clock zones). The time of the clock can be manually adjusted to complete this quest sooner. If playing on an emulator, the device's (PC, tablet, mobile, etc.) time can be adjusted as well. 	Time Stop
Poison vs. Poison"If you want a poison sword, bring me "Moldy Bread", "Amanita" and a "Long Sword"." 	Moldy BreadAmanitaLong Sword 	The Moldy Bread is in the Forest of Doom, Moldy Corpses in the same area drop Amanitas, and a Long Sword can be found in the City of Haze.Warning: Players should exercise care and not sell their Long Sword or Moldy Bread before completing this quest (especially when playing the game in the Castlevania Dominus Collection), as no other means exist to get either item in a normal game, other than buying them from another player (not possible in the aforementioned collection) or by starting a New Game+. By the time this quest becomes available, the Long Sword is mostly obsolete, and no way exists for the player to know it was required to complete the quest beforehand. 	Assassin Blade
Build Your Strength 1"You should be able to find a "Beehive" somewhere. It should help you build your strength." 	Beehive 	In the Forest of Doom there are many Bee Hives that release Killer Bees. Destroy them until a Beehive (item) drops from one. 	HP Max Up

Gorgons can be found in Burnt Paradise and the Forgotten City. A free New York Steak can be found by breaking the tip of one of the ledges in the room before confronting the Creature in the Dark Academy. 	HP Max Up
The Lonely Stage"There's a ghost that hopes to hear a performance in a classroom in the underworld. Grant his wish."	Find the piano room in the Dark Academy 	In the Dark Academy there is a room with a piano directly to the right of the second Warp Point. Wait by the music stand in the room until a ghost appears to play a song on the piano. The ghost will have a Record Player delivered to Wind through some unknown means, which will be given to the player as a reward. 	Record Player
Build Your Strength 3"You can't fight on an empty stomach. Go and find five different kinds of cakes." 	Collect five different kinds of cakes, which can include any of these:SachertorteNY CheesecakeMille-feuilleWheat RollTarte au PoireGateau FraiseKugelhopfGreen Tea CakeGateau Marron	Cakes can be found scattered in various areas of the City of Haze and 13th Street. Additionally, six cakes can be obtained in a secret bakery in the City of Haze (break the bottom-left floor of the second building, drop to the bottom of this room and then break the right wall to find it). There is a counter with various cakes in it and a register with a chandelier on top. Hit the register so it opens, then break the chandelier so a coin falls into it. The register will close and, depending on the coin's value, a cake in the counter will rise for the player to take. Four cakes can be obtained from a $1, $10, $50 and $100 gold coin each, the other two need that the player equips one and two Gold Rings respectively to make larger currency drop.Sachertorte - $1NY Cheesecake - $10Mille-feuille - $50Wheat Roll - $100Tarte au Poire - $500Gateau Fraise - $1,000 	HP Max Up

Build Your Strength 4"You must always be able to fight to your full potential. Go raise your CON to at least 100." 	Raise CON to at least 100 	Jonathan has the advantage here, due to his innate CON increases per level, as well as Defensive Form; but don't forget that Charlotte's CON Boost spell, which raises CON by 30 (15 for Jonathan), is also at the player's disposal.However, the best way of completing this quest is by activating Jonathan's Stonewall skill (CON and MND +80), found in the Forest of Doom and which ironically coincides around the time this quest becomes available. Equip Stonewall on Jonathan, switch to Charlotte and stand before Wind. Press and hold the R button so Jonathan spawns and activates Stonewall, and while doing so, press ↑ to talk to Wind. 	HP Max Up
Lost Page"Bring me "Tome of Arms p1" and "Tome of Arms p2". They're missing from my Tome of Arms." 	Tome of Arms p1Tome of Arms p2 	In the Nest of Evil there are two items that can be found lying around: Tome of Arms p1 and Tome of Arms p2. Bring them both to Wind. He gives Charlotte the Tome of Arms X upon completion, perhaps the most powerful of her tome weapons under the right circumstances. 	Tome of Arms X
The Hundred Tasks"Defeat 100 different kinds of enemies." 	Defeat 100 types of enemies 	Defeat 100 types of enemies (not 100 enemies in total). This quest will most likely be already completed by the time it is available. 	Sage Ring
Master the Holy Power"Master these three moves of holy power: "Cross", "Holy Water" and "Bible"." 	Master the Cross, Holy Water and Bible 	Master the following sub-weapon skills: Bible, Cross and Holy Water. To complete this quest, try to buy a Master Ring first and travel to the second Warp Point in the Dark Academy. Keep killing the two Minotaurs that spawn in the room below by hitting them at least once with the desired sub-weapon. If the player can't afford to buy a Master Ring, they'll drop Bullovas and Hercules Rings, which can be sold for $10,000 and $7,500 respectively. For each kill, they'll give 10 SP; this amount will be doubled by wearing a Master Ring and tripled if wearing two. The player will also be benefited by the high amounts of experience given by these enemies (414 EXP each), allowing them to level up faster and, in return, kill these enemies more quickly. 	Grand Cruz
Almighty"Jonathan, the time has come for you to learn all of the vampire hunter's skills." 	Find all of Jonathan's sub-weapon skills. 	Some sub-weapon skills can be bought, most others found throughout the castle, and a few can be found after defeating enemies. The Stellar Sword, a Holy elemental sword that belonged to Maxim Kischine, will serve as Jonathan's reward. 	Stellar Sword
The Great Sage"Charlotte, the time has come for you to learn all of the great sage's spells." 	Find all of Charlotte's spell skills. 	Some spell skills can be bought, most others found throughout the castle, and a few can be found after defeating enemies. The Sorceress Crest, an accessory that lowers the time needed to conjure any of Charlotte's spells, will be earned once this is done. 	Sorceress Crest
Kill Gergoth"Charlotte, use the Blank Book to put Gergoth out of his misery." 	+ Defeat Gergoth with the Blank Book 	In the Nest of Evil there is a boss called Gergoth (originally introduced in Dawn of Sorrow). It must be killed by Charlotte using the Blank Book (bought from Vincent). This doesn't mean, however, that only the Blank Book can be used in battle. As long as the last strike is from the book, the player can weaken Gergoth with any attack. This is useful since the Blank Book has very little range and does minimal damage. Gergoth can be found by warping to the second Warp Point in the Nest of Evil and going through all rooms in that challenge. To complete this quest, it's highly recommended to raise Charlotte's STR stat as high as possible (Wedding Dress, Open Veil, Combat Boots, Assassin's Cape and a fully charged STR Boost). Start the fight by performing a 1,000 Blades dual crush (be careful, as a second one may kill Gergoth, failing the quest) and weaken him more by letting Jonathan attack him a few more times; then switch to Charlotte with the Blank Book equipped and keep attacking him until he dies.	Cocytus
===Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia===
Optional quests are given to Shanoa by the inhabitants of Wygol Village once they have been rescued and are back in town. Each villager proposes different quests, although quests from the same villager will always be of the same kind (killing a monster, bringing back an item, etc.). Completed quests allow villagers to offer new and more difficult quests to Shanoa. When all thirty-five quests have been completed, Nikolai will present her with the Master Ring in gratitude.
Since most quests require Shanoa to bring an item, either obtained by a rare enemy drop, by finding them inside of green chests, or in some instances by absorbing a glyph, it is advisable to choose an apparel that greatly boosts LCK and wait until obtaining the Felicem Fio glyph before starting to complete harder ones. The player should also be aware that the LCK stat levels up extremely slow in this game (only 1 point for every three levels), so it is not advisable to spend much time in trying to raise it.

Nikolai 	N/A 	Complete all quests 	Complete all thirty-five villagers' quests to obtain the Master Ring as a reward from Nikolai.

Master Ring
Jacob 	N/A 	Spend 100,000G at the shop 	Obtaining gold is generally not an issue in Order of Ecclesia, and by the end of the game the player should have more than enough to satisfy all their needs.
