**Two side quests can go wrong.**

- **Flesh Lily** includes an optional fight with Hua, players say, and optional bosses tied to side quests can cost you the quest if you leave them too late.[^2]
- **Undying Heroic Spirit** asks for four Memory Flowers. The NPCs you meet turn hostile after a fight, and if you wait too long to kill them their flower never appears and the quest can’t be handed in.[^3]
