Complete every available side quest in Showa American Story to earn the All Side Quests Complete achievement. Witness every story thread the game offers.

Achieving the "All Side Quests Complete" achievement in Showa American Story sifies a deep dive into the post-apocalyptic world of Showa America, uncovering every hidden story and helping every survivor Choko encounters. These optional objectives often lead players to unique locations, provide valuable lore insights, and reward them with essential resources that can significantly ease the main campaign. Many side quests are initiated by speaking with specific NPCs scattered throughout the ruined cities and desolate highways. For instance, a quest might begin with a desperate plea from a survivor in the remnants of Neo-Kyoto, asking Choko to retrieve a lost family heirloom from a nest of mutated creatures. Successfully completing these tasks not only contributes to the achievement but also often unlocks new dialogue options or even permanent buffs for Choko, such as a slight increase to her Zombie Slayer ability cooldown.

be diligent in their exploration, as some side quests are time-sensitive or can be missed entirely if certain main story beats are advanced too quickly. Pay close attention to any exclamation marks above NPC heads, as these are clear indicators of available side content. Some quests might require Choko to gather specific crafting materials, like Scrap Metal or Circuit Boards, to repair a vital piece of equipment for a settlement. Others might involve tracking down elusive individuals or clearing out dangerous areas infested with zombies and other monstrous threats. For example, a particularly challenging side quest might task Choko with eliminating a miniboss, such as the hulking **Giga-Zombie**, that has taken over a crucial supply depot. The rewards for these endeavors can range from rare weapon modifications to significant amounts of experience points, accelerating Choko's progression and making her more formidable against the game's tougher challenges. Remember to revisit areas after major story events, as new side quests can sometimes become available as the world changes and new survivors emerge from hiding.
