The main sidequests revolve around helping those nevrons which is pretty interesting since they're technically enemies. During act 1, you'll need perfect timing when gathering rocks for hexga - make sure to spend your chroma in red woods exactly when the well pulses or you'll miss the window. For demineur's mine quest, position yourself behind cover when he starts glowing blue since that signals his explosion pattern. Bourgeon's skin collection needs careful spacing, stay about two dodge-rolls away to bait his throwing attack.

Moving into act 2, troubadour's music lesson requires precise rhythm matching - watch for the gold sparkles that indicate perfect timing windows. The esoteric ruins maze for portier has some tricky timing too, especially when the rotating platforms sync up at the 45-degree angle. That danseuse fight in frozen hearts needs frame-perfect parries, wait for her pirouette animation to reach its peak before hitting the button.

The gestral stuff is more relaxed but still needs attention to detail. Their riddles often have visual cues in the environment, and the minigames usually give you exactly three attempts before resetting. Good to know that nothing tracks in your menu so keep mental notes or you might miss stuff - especially those time-sensitive nevron interactions where they despawn if you take too long approaching them.
