The Ascent Missions List: All Main & Side Quests

If you wonder how many Main Missions and Side Missions are in The Ascent, the story-driven RPG developed by Neon Giant, then the long answer short is 40.

Precisely there are 28 Ascent Side Missions and 12 Main Missions or quests you’ll have to finish for all corresponding Xbox achievements.

Therefore, below we’ll talk about the full list of Ascent missions so you don’t miss any of them.

The Ascent Missions List

As you probably noticed, the Ascent missions are divided into two categories, so this list is also divided into categories to help you track the missions you must complete.

Main Missions:

When it comes to the Ascent Main Missions, things are pretty straightforward because these are linked, and the game will always guide you to the next one in line.

You can see the current Main Mission via the main menu in the Map & Missions tab.

Here are all The Ascent Main Missions:

1. Arcology Blues

2. Mutual Dependencies

3. Trading Places

4. Empowerment

5. Data Miner

6. Foreign Code

7. Trace Protocol

8. Syntax Error

9. Recompile

10. Board Meeting

11. Root Access

12. Unhandled Exception

Side Missions:

The Ascent Side Missions are a bit trickier because you’ll need to find the corresponding quest givers in order to play them.

This means that you’ll have to scout each tier and district in the game to find them; since the markers don’t appear on your map unless you are in that district.

Furthermore, NPCs inside houses don’t appear on the map at all until you get inside the same building.

To help you get these missions, the list below includes links to those that are the most difficult to find.

In no particular order, these are all Ascent side missions available:

1. The Stash
2. Gear Up!
3. Anabolic Express
4. Balls Deep
5. Bubble Trouble
