Ys X Nordics: Missable Quests and Journal Entries
Credit: @Inspector Gesicht
A spoiler-free list of missables to catch every timed event by following the guide chapter-by-chapter.
With three exceptions, you can 100% the game if all optional tasks are done on time-watch out for two character entries and one quest tied to several tasks.
Are quests missable?
Yes, 10 quests are canceled if not completed on time.
Are weapons and armor missable?
Yes, old equipment is removed as new gear becomes available each chapter. No need to keep outdated gear since there are no completion rewards for collecting every piece.
Tip: Don’t sell accessories-some can’t be found or crafted again. Complete the 10 timed quests and log the 2 missable people entries to avoid issues.
