Side quests in StarX Inc's Anime Legacy Simulator are hidden across the game's main maps and serve as the primary route to unlock high-tier weapons and mounts. You can pick up these quests by locating secret NPCs tucked away behind terrain obstacles in Heaven Island, Slayer Village, and the JJK world.
Tracking down each quest giver requires navigating off the main paths, but wooden signs scattered through each zone mark the general direction of these secret NPCs.
| Map | Quest Giver NPC | Target Boss | Weapon Reward | Mount Reward |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heaven Island (Paradise Island) | Shanks | Nell (Enel) | Yoru | Caro Mount |
| Slayer Village (Map 2) | Muzan | Kokushibo | Gyomei's Weapon (Nichirin) | Cat Mount |
| JJK Map (Map 3) | Gojo | Sukuna | Yuta's Sword | Megumi's Dog Mount |
Heaven Island side quest location (Shanks)
The first secret quest giver is Shanks, located on Heaven Island (also referred to as Paradise Island or the One Piece map).
- Warp to the spawn area of Heaven Island.
- Head straight ahead down the main pathway toward the pyramid structure where the Elf stands.
- Turn right near the pyramid and look for the wooden indicator sign.
- Locate the giant beanstalk (the tall plant structure) positioned past the sign.
- Jump down from the ledge to the ground below.
- Walk directly behind the base of the beanstalk to find Shanks standing in the alcove.
Interacting with Shanks gives you the objective to defeat the secret boss Nell (Enel). Nell is located behind Mihawk inside the castle area and possesses 3,000,000 HP. Once you defeat Nell and turn in the quest, you will receive the Yoru sword alongside the Caro mount.
Slayer Village side quest location (Muzan)
The second side quest is situated in Slayer Village (Map 2, based on Demon Slayer). The NPC for this zone is Muzan.
- Warp directly into Slayer Village.
- Head forward from the spawn point toward the designated village house.
- Walk around to the back of the house.
- Enter the narrow alleyway and follow it into the hidden gap/tunnel.
- Turn right into the corner nook where Muzan is standing.
Speaking with Muzan unlocks the quest to eliminate Kokushibo. Defeating Kokushibo completes the contract, granting you Gyomei's weapon (a heavy Nichirin-style weapon) and the delivery cat mount. In player testing, Gyomei's weapon delivers high burst damage but features a noticeably slower attack swing compared to other swords.
JJK world side quest location (Gojo)
The third side quest giver is Gojo, hidden inside the JJK world (Map 3).
- Warp into the JJK stage and proceed straight into the city area.
- Take an immediate left after passing the initial entrance path.
- Sprint straight ahead all the way to the back wall.
- Check the recessed corner nook to find Gojo.
Accepting Gojo's mission requires you to track down and defeat Sukuna, who is located further into the map past the star marker. Successfully completing this side quest rewards you with Yuta's sword and Megumi's dog mount.
Player testing shows Yuta's sword features a fast attack rate of roughly 2.55 seconds per strike cycle, making it widely favored for rapid enemy clears. By comparison, heavier weapons like Geto's hit slower (around 0.61 attack cadence) but trade speed for higher base damage values.
How to track side quests and upgrade weapons
To track active objectives, open the in-game quest log by clicking the flag icon on the bottom left of your screen. This interface displays current boss targets and progress updates.
Keep these mechanics in mind while completing side quests:
- Signboards: Whenever an update introduces new stages, watch for wooden signposts placed near path splits. These signs specifically highlight that a secret NPC or side quest is nearby.
- Weapon EXP: You level up quest weapons by equipping them and defeating standard map enemies.
- Passive Rolling: You can modify your weapon's passive buffs using Gourds. The initial passive rolls cost 10 tokens per attempt. Securing a Mythic or Secret tier buff early allows you to lock that slot before rolling the remaining slot. Gourds can be farmed by clearing Trials and Dungeons.
- Devil Fruit Spawns: Aside from quest swords, devil fruits such as Gomu Gomu and Magu randomly spawn across the Heaven Island map. Keep an eye on system announcements in the top-left corner; yellow broadcast text alerts the server when a fruit has spawned in the world.
Frequently asked questions

Which side quest weapon is the best to use?
Player testing highlights Yuta's sword (from Gojo's quest in the JJK world) as the top choice for overall speed due to its fast attack cadence. If you prefer high burst damage per hit over speed, Gyomei's weapon from Muzan's quest provides heavier strikes.

Nell is located in the upper castle area behind Mihawk on Heaven Island. Nell has 3 million HP and drops boss accessories alongside completing Shanks's side quest requirement.
