Released in January 2023, One Piece Odyssey is an RPG based on the anime series One Piece, one of the longest-running anime and manga series of all time. Players can control Luffy and the members of the Straw Hat Pirates as they fight and explore their way through Waford Island, as well as meeting the people that inhabit it.
With its turn-based combat system, charming graphics, and compelling narrative, One Piece Odyssey is a title that fans of the One Piece franchise are sure to love. In addition to its main story, the game has plenty of great sidequests to explore, too. But where should players begin? Here are some of the best side quests from One Piece Odyssey that players should not skip.
10 Hungry Navi Bird
Players can begin the Hungry Navi Bird sidequest at the entrance to Nanohana. By using Chopper to translate (who also happens to be a great playable character to use in battle), the player can talk to the Navi bird at Nanohana's entrance. Upon doing so, the bird will tell them that it's hungry and request that they bring it Desert Nuts to satiate its appetite.
Players can find 10 Desert Nuts in a number of Bird Nests scattered around Nanohana town. Once they've found 10, they can return to the Navi Bird to complete the quest. This is a fun fetch quest with plenty of personality.
9 That Tea Tastes Thorny
Like many RPGs out there, One Piece Odyssey features ample side quests. While this type of quest does have something of a bad reputation among gamers, the side quests in One Piece Odyssey are enjoyable enough to make them worthwhile. That Tea Tastes Thorny is just one example of this.
In Alubarna, players can start the quest by talking to a woman who seems distraught. She shares that she has lost some jars of tea, which the player needs to find for her. One of them is being held by a nearby soldier, while the other has to be recovered by battling a pair of Tea Leaf Thieves. Good thing the game's combat is so satisfying!
8 Why Eye-Lashes Enlisted
While this quest is named after Eye-Lashes, the camel that can be found in Alubarna, its narrative doesn't actually have much to do with him. It doesn't have anything to do with combat, either, unlike its name suggests (which is a shame, because One Piece Odyssey is full of awesome character abilities).
Instead, players will need to talk to the shouting man next to Eye-Lashes, who will request that the player retrieve some perfume for him from the Aroma and Armor shop. Once there, the shopkeeper will help Luffy and the gang mix a range of scents until they come up with a concoction that everyone is happy with. Returning to Eye-Lashes and the man will net the player 18,000 berries and 1 Aroma Pendent.
7 Talented Doctor
Players can commence the Talented Doctor side quest by talking to a lady near the center of Alubarna. She'll ask the player to help her find a doctor, as she needs some medicine. To find the doctor, players need to travel to a bar in the middle of Alubarna.
There, the doctor will ask the player for two Gator Bananas (not to be confused with the awesome Banana Gator character) to be able to make the medicine for the woman. Once they've received the medicine from the doctor, players can return to the woman, who will give them Sandora Dragon Steak Tips, 18,000 berries, and Herb-Grilled Bo Bo Bird.
6 Someone I Must Meet
Someone I Must Meet is a side quest that players can start in the City part of Dressrosa, a setting so visually interesting that it's a tragedy the game doesn't have a Photo Mode. There, they'll find a girl named Poppy who is crying.
Somewhat surprisingly, completing this side quest actually involves fighting multiple NPCs. First, players need to take out an NPC before proceeding to another fight, which they need to win in order to be able to get to Royal Plateau Bottom. Finally, players have to defeat an NPC named Neline, whom they'll find at Royal Plateau Top, to complete this side quest successfully.
5 My Dearest Violet
Players begin this side quest by talking to an NPC named Elio in the city part of Dressrosa. They will then need to proceed into a nearby tavern. There, talking to an NPC will lead players to a boy and a girl, whom they'll both need to talk to in order to progress further in the side quest. (The girl can be found outside a bookshop.)
After talking to the girl, players should head into the bookstore, where they'll find her father. Talking to him will result in players receiving the letter and autograph from Violet the Dancer, which Elio lost. Returning these items to him completes the side quest.
4 For Whom The Bell Tolls
For Whom The Bell Tolls starts off in Marineford City Area. Players need to talk to the Depressed Man, which will lead Luffy and the gang on a journey that involves talking to the nearby animals in the plaza in search of a cloth that the Man has lost.
First, players should talk to the cat found by the river. The cat will tell players about the dog who took the cloth, as well as where to find it. But, as it turns out, some humans took the cloth, as well as a cat's kittens. Fight the Thieves (which is challenging, though not on par with the game's challenging boss battles) and return to the Depressed Man to complete the quest.
3 My Treasure
My Treasure is easily one of the longest side quests in One Piece Odyssey. Before starting it, players will want to cook the dish Sazae Kancho Pescatore, which can be done by talking to one of the game's Tavern Keepers.
Then, players need to travel to Water Seven City Area, talk to a crying boy and find his dolls for him. To get the last doll back from a character called Yagara, players will need to feed the NPC the Sazae Kancho Pescatore. Return the dolls to the boy to complete the quest.
2 Night Exterminator
Players can begin the Night Exterminator side quest by traveling to the Great Sandy Desert. Talking to a girl waiting for her father, Mitt, near the oasis will begin the quest. Players need to defeat 10 Duluck Brothers before returning to the girl.
However, players can only do so at night. This basically requires killing some time until nightfall, when players can then travel to the south part of the oasis to find and defeat 10 Duluck Brothers. This is a great opportunity to test out the title's Bond Attacks. Once players have done this, they can return to the girl for their reward, which consists of 500 berries and Mitt's Ring.
1 More Important Than Berries
Located in Nanohama, the NPC Pompous Tam gives players the sidequest More Important Than Berries. Pompous Tam asks the player to find a photograph for him, which can be found in the desert area near Nanohama. The photograph is actually in two fragments, which players can find by exploring the desert.
Once the player has found the first piece, they can return it to Tam before retrieving the second. When players have completed the picture for Tam, he'll reward them with 3,000 berries and the Noble's Ring as a reward. The quest is time-consuming, but worth it!
One Piece Odyssey is out now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X and S, and PC
