All Main Quests in Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma — And How Long It Takes to Beat

Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma is a massive RPG that fuses farming, village-building, monster taming, and flashy action combat into a fantasy life sim you can easily sink dozens of hours into.

While you’re free to explore at your own pace, the main questline is the spine of the story, guiding you through combat challenges, new village mechanics, and key character interactions.

Here’s the complete main quest list, what you can expect from it, and how long you’ll need to carve out to see it through.

🧭 How Many Main Quests Are There?

There are 158 main quests in Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma. While that sounds like a lot, it’s worth noting:

• Many early quests are tutorials or simple tasks like placing fields or crafting tiles.
  
• A number of quests are just “Time to Rest,” requiring you to sleep until the next day.
  
• Others, especially later in the game, are lengthy dungeon runs, boss fights, and major story beats.
  

Don’t expect every quest to take the same amount of time—some are done in minutes, while others might keep you busy for close to an hour.

📋 Main Quest Highlights (Spoiler-Free Summary)

Without spoiling the bigger twists, here’s what the main questline generally covers:

• Rebuilding the Four Seasonal Villages (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter)
  
• Bonding with major NPCs and unlocking new village features
  
• Reviving gods, uncovering mysteries, and traveling between regions
  
• Battling large bosses in dungeons and astral shrines
  
• Participating in rituals, festivals, and epic story finales
  

Some quests, like “Searching for Azuma’s Gods” and “The Astral Shrine,” repeat across different villages as you unlock more areas and progress through the narrative.

⏳ How Long Does the Main Quest Take to Beat?

Expect to spend around 40 hours completing just the main storyline. This includes:

• Moderate exploration
  
• Some bonding events
  
• Basic village development
  
• Upgrading your gear as needed
  

If you try to rush through, you’ll hit a wall. Later quests introduce tougher enemies, level gates, and resource requirements, meaning you’ll need to engage with farming, crafting, and side systems to keep up.

That said, if you’re thorough—completing side quests, building out all villages, farming efficiently, and taming monsters—you could be looking at 60–100 hours or more.

• Befriend characters to unlock helpful perks
  
• Tame monsters to assist with gathering and daily produce
  

Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma is designed to reward a balanced playstyle, not just beelining the story.
