Critters & Side Missions

The platinum's personality lives here: the adorable Scampuss petting hunt and a parade of named side missions — the three Kunimatsu demons, the blacksmith's memory, and a string of one-off quests from repelling Murakumo to presenting a painting to a yokai-obsessed artist. They're flagged Secret as they're tied to specific missions, but with zero missables every one is replayable. Tick them off in any order on your cleanup.
