Nika's Diary is an optional side quest chain that rewards lore and items across four short chapters. This walkthrough uses in-game reference screenshots chapter by chapter — Chapters 3 and 4 are live now; Chapters 1 and 2 screenshots will be added when uploaded. Follow each map image in order and cross-check familiars or materials on our database if a step mentions a specific spawn.
Chapter 1
Chapter 1 begins the diary chain — accept the quest from Nika's starting dialogue thread in Vyrs and note any journal entries added to your quest log.
Screenshot pending — reference map for Chapter 1 will appear here once uploaded (

Until the screenshot lands, use the in-game quest tracker pin and stay in the Vyrs starting region rather than crossing into Mira Isles prematurely.
Chapter 2
Chapter 2 extends the route beyond the immediate starting camp. Expect light combat and a short fetch objective tied to Nika's notes.
Screenshot pending — reference map for Chapter 2 will appear here once uploaded (

Bring basic binding supplies if the chapter sends you near wild familiar spawns — see our Familiar Hunting guide for capture prep.
Chapter 3
Chapter 3 is where the route tightens — use the reference screenshot below as your ground-truth path. Match landmarks in order; if a fork looks similar, favor the branch that keeps you on the highlighted trail in the image.
Follow the path shown in the screenshot from your last Chapter 2 checkpoint. Clear any small mob packs before backtracking so the trail stays visible on the minimap.
Chapter 4
Chapter 4 closes the diary arc. The screenshot below shows the final approach and turn-in area — finish any combat before interacting with quest objects so cutscenes are not interrupted.
Turn in at the location marked in the screenshot, then verify rewards in inventory. If a follow-up world flag does not trigger, reload near the turn-in NPC once before filing a bug report.
