Verity Companion How to complete sidequests

Why sidequests matter

Sidequests in Verity Companion grant bonus Ink and unlock optional narrative fragments. The repeatable sidequest documented in the how to complete sidequests guide is the only sidequest that can be cleared twice per run, so it powers the grind loop in the how to progress fast guide.

The repeatable sidequest

The repeatable sidequest is triggered by the lantern clue in Room 3. Once you clear the lantern room, your companion surfaces a follow-up prompt that begins the sidequest.

Step-by-step

1. Clear Room 3 and unlock the lantern clue.
2. Accept the companion’s follow-up prompt to begin the sidequest.
3. Solve the puzzle inside the bonus room.
4. Return to the companion to claim the Ink reward.
5. Repeat after 25 minutes for the second clear.

Why the 25-minute reset

The repeatable sidequest uses the in-game companion cooldown. The cooldown starts after the first clear and lasts exactly 25 minutes. The Scripts hub dialogue map documents the timer.

Pair with the right companion

Analyst (Tess) surfaces the follow-up prompt automatically. Empath (Seren) only surfaces the prompt if you have redeemed the lantern fragment from Room 1. Skeptic (Vex) probes the prompt before it triggers, which gives you an extra 10-second buffer. The Tier List hub ranks every companion for this track.

Combine with the grind loop

The repeatable sidequest powers the how to progress fast grind loop. After your first clear, chain a second run inside the cooldown window so the second clear credits your wallet instantly. The wiki tests show this approach earns 1,400 Ink per hour.

What you unlock

• 250 Ink per clear.
• A side-quest codex entry.
• The optional narrative fragment that unlocks the bonus room ending.

The how to unlock endings guide references the sidequest fragment.

Pair with codes

The PUZZLEPIECE code on the Codes hub adds a bonus clue to Room 3. Redeem it before starting the run so the sidequest prompt is easier to find.

Save management

The repeatable sidequest persists across saves, so do not reset your save between runs. The how to find secret rooms guide documents the cross-save unlocks.

Cross-check with the AI map

The Scripts hub documents the dialogue decision map. Use it to study why Tess surfaces the prompt automatically and why Vex probes it before triggering.

Non-repeatable sidequests

Beyond the repeatable sidequest, Verity Companion includes three one-time sidequests that each grant a unique codex entry and a fixed Ink bonus:

• Room 1 diary fragment — interact with the desk after clearing the first puzzle. Grants 150 Ink and a lore entry about the office backstory.
• Room 4 echo puzzle — listen to the audio cue in the dark hallway and match the tone sequence. Grants 200 Ink and unlocks the Empath dialogue branch in Room 5.
• Room 5 mirror check — use Skeptic (Vex) to probe the mirror in the final corridor. Grants 175 Ink and reveals the alternate ending credits scene.

None of these one-time sidequests reset. They persist across saves, so complete them once and move on. The how to find secret rooms guide maps the exact locations.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Starting the repeatable sidequest before clearing Room 3 fully. The lantern clue requires the full puzzle solve; partial clears do not trigger the companion prompt.
• Resetting your save mid-cooldown. The 25-minute cooldown is tied to the server-side save, not the client. Resetting forces a fresh cooldown from zero.
• Using Guardian (Brick) for the sidequest route. Brick locks you out of the Room 4 echo puzzle, which blocks one of the one-time sidequests.
• Ignoring the companion dialogue order. If you skip the probe dialogue with Vex or the soft dialogue with Seren, the sidequest prompt may not surface on the next room transition.

After the sidequest

When you have cleared the repeatable sidequest twice per run for a full week, switch to the how to find secret rooms guide. The hidden rooms do not grant extra Ink, but they unlock the lore fragments that change the ending credits.

Reward tier comparison

Not every sidequest pays the same. The table below ranks every sidequest and one-time bonus currently documented in the wiki by Ink-per-minute yield, so you can stack the grind loop in the order that maximises your wallet before you start burning energy on the lower-yield tasks. The totals are measured against the current Roblox patch and re-verified after every release logged on the Updates hub.

Tier	Sidequest	Companion	Ink reward	Reset	Per-cycle yield
S	Repeatable lantern sidequest (second clear)	Analyst (Tess)	250 Ink	25 minutes	600 Ink / hour
S	Room 4 echo puzzle	Empath (Seren)	200 Ink	One-time	200 Ink (~10 min)
A	Room 1 diary fragment	Any companion	150 Ink	One-time	150 Ink (~5 min)
A	Room 5 mirror check	Skeptic (Vex)	175 Ink	One-time	175 Ink (~12 min)
B	Repeatable lantern sidequest (first clear)	Analyst (Tess)	250 Ink	25 minutes	300 Ink / hour

The S-tier repeatable clear wins because the cooldown window is fixed at 25 minutes and the Ink pays out twice. The A-tier one-time tasks pay well in absolute terms but cap out fast, so complete them once and move on. B-tier — the first repeatable clear — is the same Ink reward as the second clear, but the cooldown only starts once, so per-cycle yield is lower until you have run the loop twice. Pair the grind with the how to progress fast guide so the cooldown chains correctly across runs.
