The best way to earn extra points and unlock new Digimon is to complete various side quests in Digimon Story Time Stranger. This guide will provide you with a list of the top five side quests in the game, including tips on how to unlock and complete them all. Here they are:

1. The Great Omni Carnival
2. Dreams or Reality?
3. All Eyes On Me
4. Between the Worlds
5. Mystery of the Missing T-Shirt

The Great Omni Carnival

The best endgame side mission in the game is “The Great Omni Carnival.” Here, you need to win all 22 battles with high-level Digimon to unlock some top-tier rewards. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Arrive at the Factorial Town and go to the Paradise Colosseum.
2. Accept this quest to unlock the battle gauntlet and start the challenge.
3. Bring along at least a few Mega Digimon, such as Omnimon, Gallantmon, Imperialdramon, etc.
4. Win the consecutive 22 rounds of battles against Digimon of different generations (Rounds 1-10: Champions; Rounds 11-18: Ultimate/Mega; Rounds 19-22: Royal Knights).

Once you complete all the battles, speak to the Colosseum NPC to get the rewards: Rare Digi-Egg, 150 Anomaly Points, and Carnival Crown.

Dreams or Reality?

This quest may not grant top rewards at the end, but it’s definitely one of the most beautiful side missions in the entire game, not only in terms of visuals but also lore-wise, delving into the digital world of dreams. Follow these steps:

1. Find and speak to Hiroko at the central hub of Gear Forest.
2. Accept the quest and follow Hiroko, while collecting five Dream Shards that are scattered all over Gear Forest.
3. Fight Digimon on your way and move to Factorial Town.
4. Speak to NPCs in the town to find the location of Hiroko.
5. Go to Dream Terminal near the Colosseum and complete a mini-game puzzle.
6. This should unlock the Dream Nexus area and defeat the Digimon boss at the end.
7. After the battle, Hiroko will let you choose between Dreams or Reality.

Note that either option is viable, resulting in two different cutscenes, but you’ll get the same rewards no matter which option you choose, including HP Augment Chips, Bonding Essence, and 50 Anomaly Points.

All Eyes On Me

Here, you must find 17 Etemon Soul Fragments in Tokyo for some high-level rewards:

1. Speak to the Etemon NPC at Shibuya district, who will give you a Soul Detector.
2. Use it to detect all 17 Etemon Soul Fragments: 4 in Shibuya, 5 in Akihabara, 4 in Shinjuku, 4 in the Outskirts.
3. This will trigger a boss battle against the Etemon Digimon, who can be easily defeated by Digimon with Dark resistance, such as Beelzemon.

As soon as you defeat the Etemon boss, you’ll receive Etemon’s Microphone and 150 Anomaly Points.

Between the Worlds

This side quest is available in the Outer Dungeons DLC and requires you to rescue four lost Digimon:

1. Start the quest at Akihabara by speaking to Agumon.
2. You’ll need to go through the four portals and save Digimon in each one.
3. After that, you’ll fight the Orichomon boss, who is weak to Steel and Null type of damage.

Once you defeat Orichomon and seal the rift, you’ll receive 50 Anomaly Points, HP Augment Chip II, and Bonding Essence.

Mystery of the Missing T-Shirt

Lastly, if you’re still in the early stages of the game, then the one side quest you don’t want to miss is the “Mystery of the Missing T-Shirt.” It’s super fun and can be done in no time:

1. As soon as you start Chapter 2, you’ll receive a message from Hiroko at Shinjuku about a T-shirt theft.
2. Visit all marked T-shirt shops in the East Shopping District and speak to their owners.
3. After that, you’ll see a marker on the map, showing a manhole that you need to enter.
4. Go there and fight ZubaEagermon boss, who is weak to Ice and Water type damage.

After the battle, a poor ZubaEagermon will drop the stolen T-shirts and some Anomaly Points.
