Endless Ragnarok Side Quests and Fate Episodes Guide

Welcome to the ultimate Endless Ragnarok side quests guide, your comprehensive resource for navigating the expanded quest log and character narratives introduced in the July 9, 2026 expansion for Granblue Fantasy: Relink. Whether you are looking to unlock the final tiers of Weapon Transcendence or want to dive deep into the new character narratives, this Endless Ragnarok side quests guide provides the exact steps, unlock requirements, and rewards for every optional mission.

With the addition of six new DLC characters, mastering the Endless Ragnarok Fate Episodes new system is critical for unlocking their Master Traits and filling out the Endless Ragnarok Lyria journal entries. This guide covers the complete Endless Ragnarok story quest list and details how to uncover rich Endless Ragnarok character backstories while earning top-tier Sigils and upgrade materials.

Overview of Endless Ragnarok Side Quests & Unlock Requirements

Side quests in the Endless Ragnarok expansion serve as the primary bridge between the main campaign and high-level endgame systems. To access the expansion's side quests, players must first complete the base game's Proud Quest "The Tale of Bahamut's Rage" to unlock the Epilogue. Once unlocked, new quest counters and NPCs will appear in both Seedhollow and the Tredame Sanctum.

These quests are closely tied to The Conflux, a roguelite solo mode that rewards players with materials necessary for upgrading weapons and characters. Completing these side quests unlocks higher difficulty tiers (up to Chaos difficulty) and expands the inventory of the Knickknack Shack.

To progress through the Endless Ragnarok story quest list, you must talk to the designated NPCs marked with a blue exclamation point. Unlike base game quests, these expansion quests feature unique boss encounters, such as Ragnalia and the corrupted forms of Seofon & Tweyen, requiring specific elemental setups and high-tier Sigil configurations to overcome.

Fate Episodes for the New DLC Characters

The expansion introduces six new playable characters: Beatrix, Eustace, Fraux, Fediel, Gallanza, and Maglielle. Each character comes with a dedicated set of Fate Episodes that delve into the Endless Ragnarok character backstories, detailing their motivations, their relationships with the Crew, and their unique combat mechanics.

Completing these episodes is mandatory to unlock their Master Traits (Insight, Essence, and Crux paths) and to obtain passive stat bonuses. The final Fate Episode for each character features a solo combat trial that tests your mastery of their specific mechanics.

Beatrix (DPS - Delta Clock Mechanic)

Beatrix’s Fate Episodes focus on her struggle to control the Embrasque Sword and her rivalry with the Society's foes. Her solo combat trial requires players to maintain her "Delta Clock" buff by landing precise combo finishers while dodging attacks from a horde of Empire Remnants.

• Episode 1-3: Narrative only. Unlocks first Rank Perk.
• Episode 4 (Solo Battle): "Embrasque's Awakening." Defeat 30 Empire Soldiers within 3 minutes.
• Rewards: 1x Character Specific Sigil (Delta Acceleration), +500 HP, +50 Attack.

Maglielle (Support - Flying Weapons System)

Maglielle’s episodes explore her past as a weapon master and her transition to a supportive role within the crew. Her trial requires managing her flying weapons to shield allies and heal chip damage while maintaining offensive pressure.

• Episode 1-3: Narrative only. Unlocks Essence path upgrades.
• Episode 4 (Solo Battle): "The Iron Maiden's Shield." Protect the defense objective from waves of Goblin Raiders.
• Rewards: 1x Character Specific Sigil (Aureola Shield), +10% Healing Cap, +100 Defense.

Fraux (Melee - Pactbearer to The Devil)

Fraux's narrative details her pact with the Arcarum Summon, The Devil. Her combat trial is a high-intensity duel against a manifestation of her own inner doubts, requiring precise execution of her melee combos to build her power gauge.

• Episode 1-3: Narrative only. Unlocks Crux path upgrades.
• Episode 4 (Solo Battle): "Flames of the Pact." Defeat the Shadow of Fraux.
• Rewards: 1x Character Specific Sigil (Devil's Crimson), +5% Damage Cap, +80 Attack.

Completing all Fate Episodes for these characters updates the Endless Ragnarok Lyria journal entries, providing deep lore context that links the Relink universe directly to the mobile game's overarching storyline. For players interested in maximizing their characters, the Endless Ragnarok Fate Episodes new system is the fastest way to gain raw stats without farming Master Points.

High-Reward Side Quests and Fatebreaker Quest Integrations

Fatebreaker quests are a new tier of high-difficulty encounters introduced in Endless Ragnarok. These quests are the exclusive source of materials required for Weapon Transcendence, which allows players to upgrade Defender, Ascension, Executioner, Stinger, Stunner, and Terminus weapons past their initial limits.

To unlock Fatebreaker quests, you must complete specific side quests scattered across Seedhollow and Tredame Sanctum. These quests act as gatekeepers, forcing players to prove their builds are capable of handling Chaos-difficulty mechanics.

Step-by-Step Strategy: Clearing "Sanctum Under Siege"

1. Preparation: Set up your party with at least one support character (such as Cagliostro or Maglielle) and a high-DPS character like Sandalphon in Supreme Primarch Mode.
2. Sigil Setup: Ensure all party members have War Elemental+ and at least Alpha V+ or Beta V+ Sigils equipped to maximize damage output during Link Time.
3. Phase 1 (Minions): Focus on the ranged cultists first. Use Eustace’s area-of-effect attacks to clear the field quickly.
4. Phase 2 (The Vanguard): The boss, a corrupted Sanctum Knight, uses heavy shield charges. Use Vaseraga or Siegfried to break the shield gauge.
5. Phase 3 (Enrage): At 30% HP, the boss gains a defense buff. Activate your Summon (Lucilius or Rolan) to trigger a Primal Burst and bypass the defense phase entirely.

Clearing these quests allows you to add custom traits to your weapons (Slot II up to level 25, Slot IV up to level 10) and unlocks Slot EX rewards, which provide visual weapon effects and additional passive boosts.

Optimizing Fate Episode Combat Encounters

Because Fate Episode combat trials must be completed solo, your standard party setups will not work. You must optimize your target character's gear specifically for solo survival and high burst damage.

Sigil Loadouts for Solo Trials

When tackling solo trials, swap out party-wide utility Sigils for self-sustaining options. The following setup is highly recommended for all characters:

• War Elemental+: Ensures your attacks always target the enemy's elemental weakness.
• Warpath+ (Character Specific): Boosts the character's core mechanic (e.g., faster Delta Clock charging for Beatrix).
• Autorevive / Guts: Crucial for preventing instant failure if you miss a dodge on Chaos-difficulty enemies.
• Drain / Regen: Provides consistent healing, as you will not have a dedicated healer in your party.

Utilizing the Summon System in Solo Play

Although you cannot trigger a full 4-player Primal Burst in solo Fate Episodes, the Summon System still plays a vital role. You can equip up to four summons to gain their passive bonuses.

• Lucilius Summon: Provides a passive cooldown reduction to your skills, allowing you to cycle through your defensive abilities faster.
• Rolan Summon: Grants a passive shield at the start of the battle and increases your defense by 15% when below half health.

Completing Lyria's Journal and Epilogue Achievements

For completionists, filling out the Endless Ragnarok Lyria journal entries is the ultimate goal. The journal tracks every side quest completed, every Fate Episode viewed, and every boss defeated throughout the expansion.

To achieve 100% completion, you must complete all 28 character Fate Episodes (including the 6 new DLC characters) and clear every mission in the Endless Ragnarok story quest list.

Achieving these milestones not only grants prestigious titles and rare Sigils but also unlocks hidden lore entries that detail the fate of the Sky Realm after the events of the main story.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I unlock the Fate Episodes for the new DLC characters?

To unlock the Fate Episodes for Beatrix, Eustace, Fraux, Fediel, Gallanza, and Maglielle, you must first recruit them using Crewmate Cards obtained from high-level quests. Once recruited, their episodes will appear in the Fate Episode menu. You must level the character to specific milestones (up to Level 100) to unlock the final combat trials.

Can I play Fate Episode combat trials in co-op mode?

No. All Fate Episode combat trials are strictly solo encounters. You must control the specific character associated with the episode, and you cannot bring AI teammates or join other players online.

What is the fastest way to farm materials for Weapon Transcendence?

The fastest way to farm Weapon Transcendence materials is by running The Conflux solo mode to obtain base materials, and then clearing Fatebreaker quests on Chaos difficulty for the character-specific drops like Chaos Plumes and Worldly Essences.

Does crossplay affect side quest matchmaking?

Yes. Endless Ragnarok features full cross-platform play across PS5, PS4, Switch 2, and PC (Steam). If you are struggling with high-difficulty side quests or Fatebreaker battles, you can matchmake with players on any platform to complete the team-based missions. Solo Fate Episodes, however, must still be completed on your own.
