Overview of Atlantis City side quests
Atlantis City is dense with secrets and characters who need favors. The four side quests covered here are:
The Chocolate Chase (item retrieval)
Spot Search (pet-finding)
Rolling Rock Race (timed race)
Lost Ledger (fetch-and-deliver)
Each quest tends to spawn once you've progressed into the city hub and spoken to specific characters. They are intentionally short but can be fiddly if you don’t know where the triggers and objectives are. Completing all four yields XP, coins, and unique cosmetic tokens that help toward completion milestones.
Preparation checklist before you start
Make sure you’ve completed the introductory missions in Atlantis City’s main storyline up to the hub access point.
Equip movement or speed-boost items and verify your traversal abilities (dash/jump upgrades help in race sections).
Open your in-game map and mark the four quest hubs once discovered.
Have a backup save or checkpoint near the city entrance so you can retry races quickly.
Quick navigation
The Chocolate Chase — East Plaza, near the fountain.
Spot Search — Western Market rooftops.
Rolling Rock Race — Lower Canal circuit.
Lost Ledger — Archive Quarter, behind the Library.
The Chocolate Chase — complete steps and tips
What it is
A simple item-retrieval quest where a chef NPC has lost a prized chocolate ingredient. You locate the chocolate, return it, and unlock a cooking cosmetic.
Where to start
Speak with Chef Mirabel in the East Plaza near the tall coral fountain. She’ll tell you she misplaced a box of rare Atlantis Choco during a delivery.
Location details
Primary spawn: the walkway behind the Market Stalls, between vendor stall 3 and the fountain (look for crushed wrappers).
Secondary spawn: down the alley behind the fountain next to stacked crates.
Step-by-step walkthrough
Talk to Chef Mirabel to accept the quest.
Head east from the fountain toward Vendor Stall 3; look for chocolate wrappers on the ground.
If wrappers are visible, follow them into the alley where a small crate with the box is tucked under a tarpaulin. Interact to pick up.
If wrappers are not visible, check behind the statue base at the fountain — sometimes the box lodged there after being knocked loose.
Return to Chef Mirabel and hand over the chocolate to complete the quest.
Tips to find it faster
Interact with any suspicious piles of debris — the game often hides the item under destructible props.
If you picked up other quest items earlier, drop them and re-scan the immediate area; the detection radius can be finicky.
Rewards
XP and coins.
Cosmetic: Chef’s Apron token (rare chance) or a small stat boost for cooking mini-games.
Spot Search — find the wandering pet
What it is
A pet-finding quest where a shopkeeper asks you to locate their runaway pet, Spot. Spot hides on rooftops and in shadowed corners.
Where to start
Speak with Ronda at the Western Market stall that sells toys. She’ll be beside a cart painted bright blue.
Spot’s typical hiding zones
Rooftop of the Toymaker’s stall (jump required).
Behind stacked barrels along the western walkway.
On the awning above the spice vendor near the canal bridge.
Occasionally on the balcony of the sundry shop near the Library.
Step-by-step walkthrough
Talk to Ronda at the Western Market to accept the quest.
Head to the Toymaker’s stall and climb using the crates to reach the roof. Look for a small blinking icon or audible meow/snort.
If Spot isn’t there, scan the alley behind the market stalls; Spot likes shaded corners.
Check the awning above the spice vendor; you may need to approach from the canal bridge.
When you find Spot, interact to pick it up — the game auto-snaps the pet to your character.
Return to Ronda and hand over Spot to complete the quest.
Movement and search tips
Use the camera toggle to scan rooftops quickly; Spot’s bright collar often flashes when you zoom.
If you’re missing a jump upgrade, use nearby barrels and crates as step-stones to reach higher ledges.
Spot’s spawn is semi-random; if not found in one zone, systematically sweep each rooftop before retrying.
Rewards
XP and a unique emote token (pet-carry emote).
Small chance for a decorative pet bandana cosmetic.
Rolling Rock Race — timed circuit and shortcuts
What it is
A timed race where you chase or round a rolling rock through a short circuit in the Lower Canal. Precision, timing, and shortcut knowledge are essential.
Where to begin
Talk to Torg the Timekeeper on the Lower Canal embankment near the starting gate (a glowing arch with flags).
Race layout
Start line: Lower Canal embankment.
Checkpoint 1: Under the broken coral arch.
Checkpoint 2: Through the market underpass (low ceiling).
Finish line: Back at the starting gate, after a loop around the fountain.
Step-by-step strategy
Accept the race from Torg and equip any temporary speed boosts.
When the race starts, dodge the rock rather than trying to outrun its momentum directly; lean into corners.
At Checkpoint 1, use the inner rail to shave off distance — jump timing matters.
For Checkpoint 2, if you’re taller or heavier character, crouch-dash to avoid the rock’s side push.
The final loop has a narrow gap — a perfect dash or small hop through the middle saves several seconds.
Shortcuts and exploits
The inner rail around the broken coral arch provides a micro-shortcut that skips a bend. Time your dash to land right after the arch.
A trick jump onto a low ledge near the market underpass bypasses the area where the rock slows players down.
Use the rock’s slipstream if you can position yourself behind it without touching; you’ll get a short speed buff.
Common mistakes
Overjumping the final narrow gap and bouncing into a slower route.
Trying to block the rock physically — it pushes back and wastes time.
Forgetting to reset after a failed checkpoint run; quick retry from the gate is faster than backtracking.
Rewards
Race Trophy (bronze/silver/gold based on time).
XP and coins.
Cosmetic: Racing Band (gold trophy threshold) or movement shard for small permanent speed buff.
Lost Ledger — find the missing pages
What it is
A multi-part fetch quest where pages of the Archive Ledger have been scattered in the Archive Quarter. You’ll need to locate four pages and return them to the librarian to reconstruct the ledger.
Where to start
Talk to Archivist Pell in the Library courtyard. She’s near a column with a faded map.
Page spawn locations
Page 1: In the reading alcove, under a toppled lectern.
Page 2: Behind the stacks in the back storage room (requires squeezing through a narrow gap).
Page 3: On a balcony ledge outside the upper windows (use crates to climb).
Page 4: In a hidden drawer beneath the librarian’s desk (locked — requires a simple puzzle).
Step-by-step walkthrough
Accept the quest from Archivist Pell. She’ll give a hint about “where the light falls at dusk.”
Check the reading alcove first; interact with the toppled lectern to reveal Page 1.
For Page 2, enter the storage room and push aside the barrel to reveal a crawlspace. Squeeze through to retrieve the page.
Page 3 is outside: stack crates to climb to the balcony ledge. Watch for a narrow camera angle and ledge snap.
Page 4 is locked in a drawer. Solve the simple numerical puzzle on the librarian’s desk — align the star symbols to match the pattern in Pell’s hint. The drawer opens and yields the final page.
Return to Archivist Pell; she’ll stitch the ledger together and reward you.
Puzzle help for the drawer
The puzzle is pattern-based, not randomized. The correct sequence is often hinted by the map on the courtyard column. Match symbol order left-to-right.
If the puzzle resets, step away and re-approach; the timer resets visually and allows a fresh attempt.
Rewards
XP and coins.
Unique lore entry added to your Codex.
Cosmetic: Scholar’s Spectacles (rare).
Best route to complete all four side quests efficiently
Route summary
Enter Atlantis City and head to East Plaza — pick up The Chocolate Chase.
Move west to the Western Market — accept Spot Search while scanning rooftops.
Drop down to the Lower Canal for Rolling Rock Race (race while Spot and Chocolate are done).
Finish in the Archive Quarter with Lost Ledger.
Why this route works
Minimizes back-and-forth across the map.
Lets you leverage momentum and movement upgrades, keeping the fastest routes for the timed race.
Ensures any random spawn variance (Spot, Chocolate) can be retested on the same session without wasting travel time.
Timing tips
If Spot doesn’t spawn on rooftops on first sweep, continue to the canal then come back — city state changes often refresh spawns.
Do the race when you have any temporary speed consumable active for higher chance of gold.
Troubleshooting common issues
Quest not spawning
Ensure you’ve unlocked Atlantis City fully through main story progression.
Reload a nearby checkpoint or fast-travel out and back to the city — spawn logic often resets.
Item picked up but quest not updating
Try dropping the item (if permitted) then re-pick up.
Open and close the pause menu to force a minor UI refresh.
If the problem persists, fast-travel to another zone and return.
Race timer glitch or checkpoint fail
Exit the race area and re-enter to trigger a fresh timer.
Some players report that switching camera modes before starting smooths timing inconsistencies.
Spot not appearing on rooftops
Scan each rooftop while crouched or using the zoom camera — Spot’s collar glow is easier to see at close camera angles.
If missing, check the balcony zones and merchant stalls’ awnings.
Optimization and tips for 100% completion
Movement upgrades and consumables
Prioritize any movement shard you can get before attempting Rolling Rock Race. A small boost is often the difference between gold and silver.
Use short-duration speed consumables for the race only — they have the highest return for time saved.
Environmental interactions
Break small crates along the route — some hide shortcuts or path shortcuts.
Use destructible props to create alternative step routes to rooftops.
Save management
Save after you complete each quest to avoid repeating races or searches due to crashes or bugs.
If aiming for collectible cosmetics, keep a save prior to handing over the item to the NPC; some rewards are RNG-based.
Completion rewards and tracking
What completing all four yields
Significant XP bonus for completing all side quests in Atlantis City.
Completion unlocks a unique city banner or badge in your Codex (visual varies by platform).
A rare cosmetic drop (one-in-three chance) that’s useful for collection-focused players.
How to verify you’ve completed every side quest
Open your Codex/Quest Log; each of the four side quests should show as “Completed” with a timestamp.
Check the East Plaza/Ronda/Torg/Archivist NPCs — they will have updated dialogue or a gratitude emote.
Style and role tips to keep things entertaining
Narrative flavor
Read NPC flavor text — the Archive Ledger gives lore that ties into hidden collectibles in other zones.
Use emotes after returning Spot — some NPCs unlock easter-egg dialogue if you use specific emotes during handoff.
Roleplay motivation
Treat Spot Search as a micro-roleplay moment — call out places Spot likes (rooftops, awnings) to make the search feel like a hunt.
Chef Mirabel’s dialogue hints at a mini side-cooking challenge that appears in other zones, connecting the chocolate find to future quests.
Advanced route for speedrunners
One-minute race strategy
Start with maximum momentum: dash, jump, then hit the inner rail at Checkpoint 1.
Exploit the low underpass trick for Checkpoint 2 — a crouch-dash clip can shave 2–3 seconds.
Use a perfectly-timed hop through the final narrow gap to maintain top speed.
Two-quest combo run: Chocolate + Spot
Do both concurrently: grab the chocolate early (East Plaza), then loop to Western Market to find Spot — saves ~90 seconds compared to separate runs.
Cosmetic and achievement farming
Re-roll cosmetics
If a cosmetic doesn’t drop, keep a save and reload before turning in the quest. Replaying the final handoff rerolls the reward.
Track which NPCs have RNG cosmetics and focus on their quests if you chase rarity.
Achievement checklist
Bronze/Gold Race Token — Earn bronze then grind for gold using the speedrun tips.
Pet Collector — Complete Spot Search plus any other pet-finding quests in neighboring zones.
Scholar’s Completionist — Rebuild Lost Ledger and collect all Codex lore entries.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many side quests are in Atlantis City total
Atlantis City has four main side quests covered in this guide; additional small favors or miniboss events may appear but are optional and often repeatable.
I completed a quest but didn’t receive the cosmetic reward — what now
Cosmetic rewards are sometimes RNG. If you didn’t receive the item, reload a prior save (if available) and attempt the handoff again to reroll the reward.
Spot disappeared after I picked it up and the NPC won’t accept it
If Spot vanishes mid-hand-off, try fast-traveling to another zone and returning, or reload the last checkpoint. If the NPC dialogue doesn’t progress, re-engage the NPC and check your inventory for a “holding” pet slot.
The race timer glitched — my time didn’t register
Exit the race zone and re-enter the starting gate to trigger a fresh attempt. Ensure your platform isn’t experiencing input lag and avoid running background tasks if on PC.
Are there alternate routes that skip checkpoints
There are micro-shortcuts and ledge clips that bypass certain race bends but they require precise timing and sometimes specific movement upgrades to work consistently.
Can I redo these side quests for rewards
Most side quests can be repeated for XP and coins, but unique cosmetic rewards may be limited per save or account depending on the item.
The ledger puzzle reset every time — how do I reliably open the drawer
The drawer’s puzzle uses a fixed pattern hint found on the courtyard column — replicate the symbol sequence exactly and step back if the timer expires to clear the puzzle state.
Closing notes and next steps
Finishing the four side quests in Atlantis City is satisfying and efficient when approached with a plan. Use the route suggested here, conserve consumables for the race, and keep a save handy if you chase RNG cosmetics. Once you’ve completed these four, you’ll have gained XP, unique lore entries, and at least one collectible cosmetic that helps toward your overall completion goal.
