What Are Extra Quests in Three Hopes?

Learn how to find and complete optional Extra Quests in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes to get powerful, repairable weapons and valuable resources.

Alright, let's talk about those red crossed swords you might see popping up on the War Map in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. These are called Extra Quests, and they're a bit different from the main story missions and even the regular side quests.

Think of Main Quests as the big, mandatory story battles that push the game forward. Side Quests are the smaller battles you'll tackle to capture regions on your way to the next Main Quest. Extra Quests, though? They're truly optional, timed events that show up as you're clearing out areas. You'll spot them as red crossed swords over a Surveying Spot. The key thing here is the timer – you need to get to that spot before it runs out!

When you get to a Surveying Spot with an Extra Quest, you actually have a choice: you can either explore the spot normally or jump straight into the Extra Quest. It's totally up to you, and you won't be forced into anything. If you do decide to take on the Extra Quest, it's pretty similar to a Side Quest – the maps are usually short, and the requirements for getting an S-Rank aren't as demanding. However, there are no special bonuses for clearing them, like First Clear or S-Rank bonuses.

So, what's the point? Well, these battles are a great way to get some extra loot and experience. The real prize, though, often comes from battling specific objectives, especially **Monsters**. When you defeat these monsters in an Extra Quest, you can get your hands on broken weapons. These can be seriously powerful once you repair and upgrade them, often much better than what you'd get from regular enemies. So, even though you don't capture regions or get standard rewards like gold or training points, snagging those potentially top-tier weapons is usually a solid reason to prioritize these quests whenever you see them.
