Alright, Wanderers! 🎮 2026 is here, and Tower of Fantasy is still going strong with its massive open world and epic quests. But let's be real, some of those hidden mandatory side quests can be a total headache, am I right? 😅 If you're stuck trying to fully complete Chapter 5 in the Aesperia region, you've probably run into the infamous Snowfield Expedition quest. This bad boy is mandatory for chapter completion but is completely unmarked at the start. No worries, though—this guide will break it down step-by-step so you can snag those sweet rewards: Gold, Level-Up Materials, Permanent Banner Pulls, and those precious Dark Crystals! 💎

❄️ Step 1: Finding the Elusive Quest Giver

First things first, you gotta locate the NPC who starts it all. Head to the Warren Shelter in the northern Warren Snowfield. You're looking for an NPC named Conan. He's chillin' behind a counter next to a big stationary truck. Pro tip for the coordinate crew: you can find him at coordinates (985.0, 61.6).

Talk to him, and he'll give you a quest initially labeled "Find amplifier." Don't panic—this is the right quest! It's just the first step in this whole Snowfield Expedition saga. The quest log will update, and markers will appear. LFG! 🚀

📡 Step 2: Amplifier Hunt - Easy Peasy!

This part is super straightforward. Once you have the quest, three amplifier locations will be marked on your map. Your job is to travel to each, interact, and "recycle" them to collect the amplifiers. If you prefer visual aids or your map glitches (it happens!), here's a quick reference:

Efficiency Hack: Use the Warren Snow Peak Spacerift and Saag Passage Spacerift for fast travel. They'll get you close to all the points. After grabbing all three amplifiers, head back near the Saag Passage Spacerift and place them down at coordinates (416.4, -629.8). Quest log updated? Let's move on!

📚 Step 3: The Three Books Scavenger Hunt

Now for the actual exploration part! You need to find three hidden books scattered across Warren Snowfield. No map markers here—you gotta use your eyes and this guide. 😎

Book 1: Teleport to the Warren Snow Peak Spacerift. Look northeast. You'll see a large, floating wind-turbine structure on a chunk of ice. Glide or jetboard over there! The book is lying right in front of the turbine base.

Book 2: From the same Spacerift, look slightly northwest. You'll spot a natural rock bridge formation. Underneath it is a small enemy stronghold. Clear out the mobs (watch out for aggro!), and you'll find the second book next to some wreckage inside the camp.

Book 3: Last one! Again, from the Warren Snow Peak Spacerift, look directly west. You'll see a dandelion plant. The final book is just sitting on the ground right next to it. Super quick grab!

⚔️ Step 4: The Final Showdown & Rewards

With all three books collected, the quest becomes fully marked again—thank goodness! 🥳 Your next objective is to find Captain Simon. He's hanging out nearby at coordinates (924.5, -636.7). He'll give you a straightforward task: clear out a nearby enemy camp. Defeat all the baddies, then report back to him.

Mission Accomplished! Once you finish that combat bit and talk to Simon, the Snowfield Expedition quest is complete. If you've already done everything else in Chapter 5, the chapter will now be marked as 100% finished in your log. Time to claim those rewards! 🎉

💰 Chapter 5 Completion Rewards Include:

• Gold (for all your upgrade needs)

• Level-Up Materials (to boost your weapons and characters)

• Permanent Banner Pulls (chance for those standard SSR weapons)

• Dark Crystals (the premium currency for limited banners!)

🎯 Pro Tips for 2026 Players:

• Use your Relics! The Jetboard or Jetpack relic makes traversing the snowfield much faster.

• Team Up: If the enemy camp is tough, co-op with a friend! The mobs scale, but having backup is always a good idea.

• Check Your Log: Sometimes quest markers can bug. If a step isn't showing, try relogging or checking your main quest log under 'Chapter 5 - Aesperia.'

• Explore! While you're in Warren Snowfield, keep an eye out for other hidden collectibles, Black Nuclei, and exploration points. Efficiency is key!

Completing hidden quests like Snowfield Expedition is part of what makes ToF's exploration so rewarding. It's a bit of a grind, but the payoff is so worth it. Now go finish that chapter, get those rewards, and get back to pulling for the latest 2026 Simulacra! Remember, Wanderers, exploration is the heart of the game. Happy hunting! ✨
