Open Dragon Sword Awakening’s quest log, select the quest you want to follow, and read its current objective before moving. The selected entry should show the next progression step or tracking information. If nothing changes, select the quest again and check the objective in the world; some quests require manually starting them or locating their NPC rather than following an automatic marker.

Open the quest log from your assigned control
Dragon Sword Awakening’s quest log is the screen to use when you need to review active objectives and progression. Open it with the keyboard key or controller input assigned in your current Controls or Settings menu. The supplied evidence does not establish a single platform-wide shortcut, so do not rely on an unverified key from another player’s setup.
Once the log opens, look for the active quest entries rather than assuming the first visible entry is the one currently tracked. A quest list can contain several activities, while only the selected entry supplies the objective you should act on next.
Select the quest that contains your next objective
Selecting a quest tells you which progression step to follow. Read the full objective text and identify whether it asks for an interaction, a location, an enemy, an item, or another quest action. The quest database described by TH.GL lists step-by-step objectives and quest-chain progression, which supports using the current objective as the primary reference when the interface is unclear.
After selecting the entry, close the log and check whether the game shows a tracker, marker, prompt, or other visible change. If no new indicator appears, the quest may still be active; use its written objective instead of treating the missing marker as proof that the quest failed.
Use the objective text to find the next quest location
Dragon Sword Awakening quest tracking works best when you match the selected objective with what you see in the world. If the entry names a character, search the relevant settlement or area and watch for an interaction prompt. If it names an enemy or activity, travel to the location suggested by the text and check the objective again after completing the action.
A Steam community discussion reports that at least one hero quest must be started manually from the quest entry and then completed by finding the character in the world. Treat that as a quest-specific behavior, not a confirmed rule for every quest. When an NPC does not appear, return to the log and check for a start or interaction prompt on the selected entry.
Verify that quest progress has advanced
Progress has advanced when the selected entry changes its objective, marks a step complete, updates a counter, or displays the next stage. Reopen the quest log after an important interaction, conversation, battle, or collection step and compare the current text with what you completed.
If the objective is unchanged, first confirm that you performed the exact action named in the log. Defeating a nearby enemy, visiting a location, or speaking to the wrong character may not satisfy the requirement. Select the quest again, return to the named target, and look for the expected prompt before leaving.
Fix a quest that does not track or update
When Dragon Sword Awakening does not show a useful tracker, use the written quest objective as the fallback. Reopen the log, select the intended quest, read its current step, and check whether the quest needs to be started manually. This is the safest first recovery path because it does not discard progress or change unrelated quests.
- Confirm that the intended quest entry is selected.
- Read the exact current objective rather than an earlier step.
- Look for a start, interaction, or button prompt on the quest entry.
- Travel to the named NPC, location, or activity and complete the stated action.
- Reopen the log and verify a changed objective or completed step.
If the entry still does not change, save your current progress if the game provides a save option, restart the game, and check the quest again. Do not assume an external quest database or overlay reflects your character’s live state.
Know when the quest log cannot provide a map route
The quest log can identify the current progression step without guaranteeing an automatic route or visible marker. The available evidence confirms quest objectives and chain information, but it does not verify that every quest includes map navigation, coordinates, or waypoint support in the game client.
When there is no route, use the named NPC, area, enemy, or activity as your search target. If the objective gives no usable target and remains unchanged after reselecting the quest, stop before abandoning it and restart the game only after preserving your current progress.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make a quest active in Dragon Sword Awakening?
Select the quest entry in the quest log and confirm that its objective is the one you want to follow. If no tracker appears, the quest may still be active; use the written objective and check for a manual start or interaction prompt.
Why is my Dragon Sword Awakening quest not showing a marker?
A missing marker does not necessarily mean the quest is broken. Some objectives may rely on written instructions or require finding an NPC manually. Reselect the quest, read the current step, and check the named area or character.
Can I track more than one quest at once?
The available evidence does not confirm the current maximum number of simultaneously tracked quests. Treat the selected quest as the active reference, and switch entries in the quest log when you want to verify a different objective.
What should I do if a manually started quest does not progress?
Reopen the quest log and verify that the correct entry is selected and that its start prompt was used. Then return to the named NPC or objective, complete the exact listed action, and check the log again before abandoning the quest.
