Guide to completing all Mantaic side quests in Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition, including Wonder Chef, Wonder Reporter, Mother's Memento, and Dragon Freak.

Alright, you've made it to Mantaic! Before we get too far, there are a few little things we should take care of around town to get some nice rewards and recipes.

First up, just southeast of where Estelle is hanging out, you'll spot a couple of trees. Right between them is the Wonder Chef. Chat him up, and he'll teach you the recipe for Curry! Yum!

Right next to the Wonder Chef, you'll find the Wonder Reporter. Make sure to talk to them too.

After that, take a little stroll around town and chat with all your party members. Once you've spoken to everyone, head back to the Inn. You'll trigger a scene there, and then you'll need to stay at the Inn again for another scene. This time, you'll get some Canteen Attachments for the whole party, which is super handy!

Once you regain control, there are a couple more side quests to knock out. You can finally leave the Inn now.

Head north to the oasis – you'll get a scene there and receive the Glass Marble. After that, just exit the city using the left path, and another scene will play out.
