Bonus objectives are back in the Separate Ways DLC. These blue side-quest job boards are pinned throughout the story campaign — completing them gives you a shot at earning more Spinels, which can be traded for valuable items. For my money, you’ll want to finish every side-quest specifically to unlock Small Keys and the Treasure Map. Treasure is too important. Learn how to complete every side-quest we’ve found so far in the full guide below.
