Stand Out Quests
Last updated:
Follow the opening story from IKO IKO to Rohan’s vault and Diamotch, then complete Hamon Training, Hermit Purple and Statue of Sorrow objectives.
Publicly available · Developer launch link posted November 14 at 19:07 UTC. Mechanics below are based on the official board and patch notes.
Lenny: Catalytic Converter quest — 300 Dalas
Lenny gives the Catalytic Converter side quest at Lenny’s shop. The official card lists two objectives and a reward of 300 Dalas.
Take a police car
Get one cop car from the lot beside the police station. This is the first objective on the quest card.
Return it to Lenny’s other lift
Park the car on Lenny’s other vehicle lift and have him strip it. Completing the quest awards 300 Dalas.
Lenny is also listed as a vehicle spawner, but the quest specifically names a cop car from the police-station lot. The cards do not specify a level requirement, repeatability or the exact interaction prompt.
Caesar training: 10 instead of 15
The November 15, 05:33 UTC developer patch reduces the training needed for Caesar from 15 to 10. It does not specify additional prerequisites or rewards. The same patch fixes unusual pathfinding on the yacht.
Raid EXP, elimination credit and server restarts
The November 15 patches increase normal raid EXP by 15% (04:55 UTC). Eliminations now give credit if you hit the opponent at least once before they log out or reset. Servers shut down at 10 hours of server uptime; world events stop at 9.5 hours. Jotaro and Highway Star boss evasive cooldowns are doubled; no absolute cooldown was published (04:34 UTC).

Garden growth, invasion matching and quest progress
The November 15, 03:31 UTC developer patch changes these steps:
- Story garden: plants grow at 3× the previous rate. The developer estimates a little over one minute to full growth; this is an estimate, not a measured guaranteed timer.
- Invasions: matchmaking is now limited to players around your level and parties with at most one more member than yours. No exact level range is given. Regional matching is described as something the system should try to do.
- Invasion credit: the developer reports a fix when the target logs out or dies to an NPC. Earlier once-per-run protection remains the last announced rule; no reset conditions were supplied.
- Vampire objectives: vampires can now complete Bobby’s quest, and cave vampires count toward the Hamon quest. Some raid and elimination soft locks were fixed.
- Bosses: Hubert [King Crimson] has reduced HP; Pesci’s evasive cooldown is now 2.5× the previous cooldown. DIO’s insufficient spawn frequency was fixed, but no new spawn interval or boss HP value was published.
Invasions, Humu and the yacht story
The November 15, 01:19 UTC patch lets invaders lockpick and removes the invasion cooldown. A separate protection now limits you to being invaded once per run. The developer does not define when a run resets, so this is not a promise of permanent protection after one invasion.
Humu, the boss, was weakened, and some broken yacht story scenes were fixed. No revised health, damage values or specific affected scenes were published.
Seed quest and party reward fixes
On November 14 at 22:03 UTC, SquidyCakez reported fixing seed loss during the seed quest. The 22:45 UTC patch also fixes party bugs affecting train raids and bounty claiming. These notes do not promise restoration of previously lost seeds or rewards; check your current quest and reward state before assuming a refund.
Launch-day story fixes
The November 14, 21:07 UTC patch reports fixes for dialogue soft locks, Rohan’s bookshelf trap and Diamotch security bugs. These are developer-reported fixes, not confirmation that every stuck objective is resolved. Jodio taking special Rokas is only described as hopefully fixed; avoid assuming your special items are protected.
Rohan’s villa: find the vault and escape
Start after the tutorial and Meryl’s briefing at IKO IKO. This is the opening story route, not a repeatable bounty.
Reach the villa and crouch
Follow the story objective to Rohan’s villa. Use C to crouch around its cameras. Inspect unusual books, movable shelves, crooked paintings, wall panels and levers for the vault mechanism.
Open the hidden vault
Activate the hidden mechanism. The objective changes when the vault opens and Rohan hears it; opening it awards 500 EXP and 200 Coins once.
Escape with the valuables
Leave the villa with the diamond and Lava Rock. The escape awards 700 EXP, 350 Coins, a Blue Diamond and a Lava Rock. Continue until you are clear of Rohan’s grounds.
Defeat the three Cat Size cats
The next combat objective counts three cats, not one. Complete all three before moving on to Jodio’s Diamotch plan.
Diamotch: watch, security and Charming Man
Speak to Jodio and enter the store
Accept the plan to test the Lava Rock. Ask the Diamotch clerk to view the luxury watches, follow the clerk into the back room and sit for the private showing.
Answer the guard and defeat security
After the camera accusation, speak to the guard and defeat both security enemies. The combat objective requires two.
Collect the returned watch
Pick up the watch, hear the clerk’s apology and tell Jodio it returned. Open Jodio’s food bag on the tire to advance the sequence.
Finish the ambush and report back
Defeat Charming Man, then return to IKO IKO with the stolen items. Hand the diamond and watch to Meryl to progress toward the HOWLER land-registry operation.
How to unlock Jonathan Hamon
Accept Hamon Training from Lisa Lisa. Complete all five listed objectives before returning for Jonathan Hamon. The November 15, 03:31 UTC patch confirms that cave vampires now count for this quest.
Train with the mask
Use the Ripple Training Mask and reach the breathing counter of 300.
Climb the oil pillar
Reach the top of the oil pillar once.
Complete two activities while masked
Complete one bounty and one elimination while wearing the mask. A bounty alone does not satisfy the elimination objective.
Return to Lisa Lisa
Turn in the completed training to receive Jonathan Hamon.
How to get Hermit Purple
Requirements: Jonathan Hamon and no equipped Stand. Get the quest from Billy; do not treat it as an ordinary arrow roll just because another board entry appears beside arrow Stands.
- Defeat DIO once.
- Use Life-Giving Overdrive on 15 plants.
- Complete Billy’s quest to obtain Hermit Purple. Check your Standless requirement before attempting the hand-in.
The Statue of Sorrow
Start with the Old Lady. Speak to Angelo, crouch and follow the cracks, fight the CEO of Fighting, then report back to her. The final objective is to lure the stone into the net.
The listed completion rewards are 4,000 Coins, one Mysterious Arrow, one Bizarre Arrow and one Part 5 Mysterious Arrow. Luring Rolling Stones into the net grants Hand of Fate; being caught by it instead grants Slave of Fate. These outcomes are different.
Gang bases, wars and reputation
Current official gardening rule: all Rokakakas grow 3× faster inside the gang base’s Rokakaka Growing Room. This room bonus is separate from the story-garden patch above; no absolute growth timer is given. The older pre-launch notes below provide additional context.
- Growing plants in a gang base: the October 29 UTC patch reports 2× growth speed for plants and 3× for Rokas. Raiding players can smash pots and steal grown plants, so a base is not risk-free storage.
- Finding a raid: the server list shows which gang bases are placed in each server. The October 30 UTC notes say raids earn reputation and defending earns 1.5× the reputation of a raid. The notes do not supply a fixed payout.
- Gang wars have competitive and casual options, with King of the Hill and Team Deathmatch modes. Gang jobs also returned as small quests; the developer gives two eliminations for Passione as an example.
Food Safety Agency: protect your Rokakakas
The November 2 UTC developer announcement introduces inspectors who visit gang bases looking for illegal Rokakakas. They can confiscate the plants. Fighting back triggers a defense against a wave of police and SWAT agents. Decide whether to fight with that escalation in mind; the announcement does not specify inspection frequency, wave counts or rewards.
The same pre-release update also names Yo Yo Ma and Fog side quests and the Highway Star Bizarre Adventure. It does not give their full routes or item rewards, so they are not presented as complete walkthroughs here.
Repeatable bounties
Get bounties from Petyr or the Bounties application on your Phone. They refresh every hour and have difficulty tiers. For a short side objective, Usagi’s Bandit Problem asks you to defeat five bandits. Follow the objective counter rather than assuming that every nearby enemy qualifies.
