Novus Main Quest Line Guide - Final Bastion (2025)

This guide is meant as a tool to follow your progress and keep an eye on the Novus Quest Line. It can also explain when a cheating boss is coming up.

I list the quests you have to doin a certain area. The areas are listed in the order you should do them in (unless otherwise specified). The area is not always one hundred percent correct, as certain quests can require you to run back and forth between areas to talk to people. To simplify matters, I have not listed this kind of running; the quest will say “talk” but not where the NPC is located. Also, if there is only one quest in an area, I will not mention the area separately. Located between brackets are the different parts of each quest, as many quests require you to do multiple things.

I have divided the quests in the Spiral into the following groups:

• Talk:Quests that require an interaction with an NPC.
• Mob:Quests that require the defeat of regular monsters.
• Elite:Quests that require the defeat of an elite creature.
• D&C:Quests that require the collection of something from certain monsters (Defeat and Collect).
• Boss:Quests that require the defeat of a boss. Elite monsters are not counted as bosses.
• Minor Cheat: Quests that require defeating a boss that cheats a little (these cheats can generally be ignored).
• Cheat:Quests that require the defeat of a cheating boss (these cheats will hinder normal gameplay somewhat).
• Major Cheat:Quests the require the defeat of a cheating boss (these cheats will hinder normal gameplay significantly).
• Solo: Quests you need to do alone.
• Instance:Quests that require the completion of a place behind a sigil with at least 2 battles.
• Interact:Quests that require interaction with a certain object.
• Explore: Quests that just require you to run towards a certain area, NPC or item.
• Collect: Quests that require you to collect multiple items from areas.
• Photomancy:Quests that require you to take a picture of an object using Photomancy.
• Play as Your Pet: Quests that require you to utilize the Play as Your Pet feature.
• Investigate: Quests that require you to search and collect for clues.
