Euphoria - I'm 55hrs in, and am only 75% of the way through, with lots of sidequests left.

I'll give you a hint: You always want to back track once you've completed a major line of quests. Once you get the chance to return to Nor after some events, go back ASAP and revisit the main continent to start with some major sidequests. I totally missed the uber-monster hunt because of it. Although you can always fight them, you won't get the bonuses.

There are the following sidequests available:

Warehouse Challenges (puzzle game)
Giganto Monsters (Uber-enemies with health higher than most bosses)
Casino Games
Delivery Quests
Mini-Quests (like special cutscenes/skits when you return to an area at a specific time. Hence the focus on backtracking).
Cooking

And so on. There's a lot to the game. I have maybe 60% of the skits unlocked, and it's crazy to think how many more could be available.

Would that monsteer happen to be the big bastard in Quio Woods?

Also, how early are the side quests available? Would I be able to find any yet? I have not entered Nor Harbor.

 

The first side quest is to met Duke at Deidon Hold after the monster attack. Did you get it?
