Sidequests (or simply Quests in-game) are optional tasks that the player can complete in exchange for rewards such as items, Gold, and EXP. Of the 70 quests in NieR RepliCant and NieR Gestalt, 36 take place in Act I, and the remaining 34 in Act II. NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139... introduces an additional quest in Act II, bringing the total count to 71. To obtain 100% quest completion, all Act I quests must be completed before moving on to Act II. Any active quests when moving on to Act II will be placed in the "Uncompletable Quests" category.
Completing all 36 Act I quests will bring the quest completion percentage to 51% (50% in ver.1.22...). The Village Handyman, Jack of All Trades, and Go-To Guy achievements require completing 10, 20, and 30 quests respectively. All quests need not be completed to obtain all of the achievements.
