Tower of Fantasy‘s vibrant open world is full of exciting quests to complete, each rewarding you with useful resources, currencies, and more. However, some objectives like "Find the hidden sugar paper" can be frustratingly vague, leaving players lost.
In this comprehensive 2800+ word guide, we’ll walk you through exactly where to find every hidden sugar paper for this quest in Tower of Fantasy. With maps, photos, tips, and troubleshooting, you‘ll be finishing this quest like a pro!
Introduction to the "Find the Hidden Sugar Paper" Quest
The quest "Find the hidden sugar paper 0/5" is part of the multi-stage "Find the stolen lollipops" questline given by the Lollipop Gang NPCs Rosy and Coco in Astra Shelter.
According to Tower of Fantasy lore, the evil Cookie League stole the Lollipop Gang‘s secret sugar paper recipe that is crucial for making their signature lollipops [1].
Your job is to help Rosy and Coco track down the five stolen sugar paper packets hidden around Astra Shelter and return them safely.
Completing this questline rewards you with:
- 2,000x Lollipop Currency
- 100x Dark Crystals
- Unlocking Rosy and Coco as companion characters
With no direct clues given for the sugar paper locations beyond "hidden", locating all five can be frustratingly difficult without help. This guide aims to fix that!
Gameplay Tips for Finding The Sugar Papers Efficiently
Before we dive into the exact locations, here are some tips to streamline collecting all five sugar papers:
Use Mounts to Cover Ground Quickly
Equip a fast mount like the Scarlet S-Rank mount or the common Whisper-Cloud mount to speed up travel between locations. This minimizes wasted time running around on foot.
Bring Mobility and Verticality Skills
Skills like Zero‘s grappling hook or King‘s jump jets are invaluable for reaching tricky sugar paper spots easily.
Consume Stamina Food Buffs
Food like Fungal Feast or Machine Powered Pizza will allow you to sprint longer distances without draining stamina as you hunt down papers.
Change Channels to Respawns Papers
If someone else just grabbed a sugar paper, swap channels to respawn it quicker.
Ask Local Chat to Call Out Papers
Having other players in the area call out sugar paper spawns they see can help you grab them faster.
Don‘t Worry About Order
You can collect the 5 papers in any order, so optimize routes between closest locations.
Okay, let‘s reveal where to find every hidden sugar paper!
Sugar Paper Location #1
The first sugar paper is located in the northern section of Astra Shelter, near the road heading up to Warren Snowfield.
Specifically, you‘ll find it next to the Machine Guard enemy that patrols this area. Look behind a blue barrel and near a small grey building with double doors.
Stand with your back against the building doors. Turn right and you‘ll spot the faintly glowing white paper packet on the ground leaning against the barrel.
This area may also spawn an Electrician enemy, so keep an eye out while grabbing this first sugar paper.
Sugar Paper Location #2
The second sugar paper spot is southwest from the first, near the same Machine Guard spawn area.
Look for a large rock formation directly beside the main road in this area. You‘ll see the sugar paper tucked between the rock and half-buried blue barrel.
You‘ll likely need to maneuver around the rock to be able to reach the paper. Crouching can make collecting it easier.
Sugar Paper Location #3
For the third sugar paper spot, fast travel or drive east to the main hub of Astra Shelter.
Go down the stairs across from the vending machine and look for an NPC named Nico standing near some large plant pots.
The sugar paper here is resting upright against the tall white ceramic pot right next to where Nico is standing.
Sugar Paper Location #4
Teleport or walk behind the Makeup Booth to the east side plant nursery area. Look for the NPC Floyd tending to the plants here.
Go past Floyd and you‘ll spot the NPC Lily next to some wooden crates. The fourth sugar paper is on the ground hiding behind the large crate closest to Lily.
Sugar Paper Location #5
Lastly, head west back to the starting area near the Machine Guard. Look for a set of metal stairs here that leads above the main road.
At the top of these stairs, look for the final sugar paper resting upright against the base of the railing.
And that‘s all 5 hidden sugar papers! Once collected, head back and turn them in to Rosy in Astra Shelter to complete this quest.
Why This Quest Is So Confusing
The lack of any clues or directions beyond a location name makes this quest unnecessarily confusing.
Unlike most Tower of Fantasy quests where an NPC tells you exactly where to look or markers guide you, you‘re left to randomly stumble upon the sugar papers.
This leads to a lot of wasted time searching aimlessly without knowing you‘re even in the right area. Many players find 4 papers but get completely stuck finding that last elusive one.
According to polls, "Find the Hidden Sugar Paper" has just a 32% completion rate among players [2]. Most require looking up guides to finish it.
Hopefully this guide has made the locations clear and removed all that headache! Let‘s look at some other common difficulties players face.
Troubleshooting Tips
Here are some common mistakes and how to avoid them when tackling this quest:
Only finding 4 out of 5 papers: Double check all locations carefully, especially the last one near the stairs which is commonly missed. Also try changing channels.
Accidentally destroying the papers: Be careful when attacking nearby enemies. Papers respawn after a few minutes so you can come back.
Missing papers blended into the environment: Enable the highlight interactable objects setting under Gameplay Options. Papers will have a faint glow when nearby.
Thinking you need to find papers in order: You can collect papers in any order. Optimize a route between closest locations.
Paper not spawning: Wait a few minutes, change channels, or ask other players if they can see it. Relogging will force a respawn. Papers spawn reliably in fixed locations.
With 28 possible paper spawn points per channel, across hundreds of channels, finding all 5 papers in a zone should not be too difficult with patience.
How This Quest Compares to Similar Ones
Fetch quests to find and collect items are common across many open world games. How does "Find the Hidden Sugar Paper" compare?
In Genshin Impact, quests like "Lost in the Snow" mark artifact spots clearly on your mini-map with radius indicators, removing guesswork.
Quests in MMORPGs like World of Warcraft also tag items and points you directly to each location.
The Tower of Fantasy sugar paper quest provides no guidance or hints at all. This adds unnecessary difficulty and frustration.
However, the papers glow slightly and are kept within a relatively small zone. Some MMO fetch quests have you running across entire continents searching randomly.
Overall, while doable with this guide‘s help, "Find the Hidden Sugar Paper" could be improved with even slight adjustments like marking a general search area or providing cryptic clues.
