    Complete 8 Side Missions

  • How to unlock Good Samaritan

    There are a total of thirteen side missions in the game, and despite this achievement's description stating that only eight must be completed in order to unlock the achievement, you must actually complete all thirteen.

    Side missions are exclusive to the three main cities/towns of the game: Kuwaq Yaku, Paititi, and the Mission of San Juan. If you are in close proximity to a quest giver, you will typically receive an onscreen prompt that indicates a side mission is nearby, followed by said quest giver being marked on your world map. For further aid, these quest givers are also marked in green when using Survival Instincts.

    Please see below for a full list and some clarifying notes on all thirteen side missions in the game.

  • For what it matters, the guide is wrong. There are indeed only 8 missions, but some are multiple part (quest chains that follow on as you’ll see). Your percentage bar goes up after the last in e@ch chain are completed.. I.e. Pima gives you Save Colqui, straight after freeing the others - bar goes up after that one. Uchu tasks you with collecting three things, each is a separate thing, but once the third is collected you get your progress update. In case anyone was wondering..
