How to Complete Princess Connect Re:Dive Side Stories for Extra Rewards
Side stories in Princess Connect! Re:Dive offer a reliable way to collect character memory shards, jewels, equipment, mana, and event-specific items. They also preserve story chapters and battles from older limited-time events, making them useful for both progression and lore.
The exact rewards and menu names can vary by game version and regional release. Still, the general routine remains similar: unlock the archive, clear the story nodes, complete event missions, defeat the boss, and spend event currency before the side story closes.
A little planning helps you avoid wasting stamina. Some stages are worth clearing once for first-time rewards, while others are better for repeated farming. The best approach is to prioritize permanent rewards before spending resources on low-value drops.
Find And Unlock The Side Story
Open the event or story menu and look for the Side Story, Event Archive, or a similarly named section. Some entries become available after reaching a certain account level or clearing part of the main campaign. If an event is locked, check its requirements rather than spending stamina elsewhere without a plan.
Read the event information screen before beginning. It usually shows the featured character, available quests, boss encounters, exchange items, and limited missions. Take note of the end date if the archive is temporary, since some rewards may disappear when the event period ends.
Clear Story Stages First
Start with every normal story node. These stages are generally inexpensive and provide first-clear rewards such as jewels, event currency, mana, and equipment. Clearing the complete narrative may also unlock hard quests or a special boss battle.
Use a strong team capable of clearing stages quickly instead of experimenting with several slow compositions. If a quest has a recommended power value, treat it as a rough guide rather than a strict requirement. A well-built team with healing, defensive support, and area damage can often handle older content comfortably.
Farm Hard Quests And Boss Battles
Hard quests are usually the most important repeatable stages because they can drop character memory shards. Check the daily attempt limit and spend those attempts consistently. Even a few shards per day can eventually help unlock or strengthen a useful unit.
Boss battles often require event tickets or accumulated currency. Clear the boss at the highest difficulty you can defeat reliably, then use skip tickets when the game allows it. Repeated manual attempts are worthwhile only when a higher difficulty provides a significantly better reward rate.
| Activity | Main Rewards | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Normal story quests | Jewels, mana, equipment, event currency | Clear once and unlock later content |
| Hard quests | Character memory shards and currency | Complete daily attempts |
| Boss battles | Large currency payouts and special items | Farm after building a ticket stockpile |
| Event exchange | Shards, equipment, potions, mana, tickets | Spend currency on priority rewards |
| Missions | Jewels, tickets, and milestone items | Review and complete before closing |
Spend Event Currency Wisely
Visit the event exchange after clearing several stages. Character memory shards, premium currency, and exclusive equipment should normally come before common mana or low-rarity gear. If the exchange uses multiple currencies, identify which quests provide each one before farming.
Do not empty the shop automatically. Experienced players may prioritize shards for a unit they actively use, while newer accounts may gain more value from upgrade materials, recovery potions, or equipment. Save enough currency for high-impact items before buying inexpensive extras.
Manage Stamina And Skip Tickets
Side stories compete with main-story farming, dungeon attempts, and daily missions for stamina. Use natural stamina recovery on event stages when the side story has a deadline, but avoid spending large amounts of premium currency unless the rewards justify it.
Skip tickets are especially helpful after a stage has been three-starred. Before using them in bulk, confirm that the selected quest drops the item you need. A quick look at the drop list can prevent hundreds of stamina points from being spent on the wrong node.
Check Guides And Community Videos
Video guides can show boss teams, recommended rotations, and efficient farming routes. Look for uploads that match your server version, since character availability and event rewards may differ between regions. A guide made for a previous balance environment may still help with mechanics but require stronger or different units.
Use fan-curated resources carefully when browsing for event information. If a page contains unrelated medical promotions or suspicious material, avoid entering personal details and treat unrelated leak pages as unsafe rather than as part of a legitimate game guide. Stick to recognized game communities, official announcements, and clearly labeled gameplay videos.
Build A Simple Completion Routine
A repeatable routine makes it easier to finish each archive without missing rewards:
- Clear all available normal story stages for first-time rewards.
- Complete every daily hard quest attempt for memory shards.
- Farm event currency through the most efficient unlocked stage.
- Defeat the highest reliable boss difficulty and use skip tickets afterward.
- Review missions and exchange-shop priorities before the event closes.
After the final story node is complete, check the mission screen and event exchange one more time. Claiming rewards manually is easy to overlook, especially when several objectives finish at once. Then use leftover stamina on the best shard or currency stage until the archive expires.
Open the next available side story, compare its reward list, and repeat the same process. With consistent daily attempts and sensible currency management, these archived events can strengthen your roster while providing extra jewels and useful upgrade materials.
