Zokket’s Schemes side quest guide in Mario & Luigi: Brothership

Zokket’s Schemes is another one of Mario & Luigi: Brothership’s few missing side quests. It’s generally the second missable quest you’ll be able to take on within the game’s story, and as usual we’d recommend clearing it as soon as possible (as advancing the main story will render it impossible to finish). Here’s how to activate the Zokket’s Schemes side quest and what you get from completing it. There are very minor story spoilers within (area and location names), so make sure you’re okay with that before you continue.

In order to unlock this quest, you’ll first have to defeat the boss at Desolatt Island. From there, head back to Shipshape Island and view the scene and dialogue that plays out here. Afterward, speak to the group of IDLE members hanging out in the plaza, and they’ll have the Zokket’s Schemes side quest ready for you to take on. This will take you to Minmin Islet, which is in a small current all its own south and slightly to the west of the Broque Reef. You won’t have any significant battles or exploration to find here, but you will be able to watch a small scene regarding Zokket’s Schemes (huge surprise!) and find Accel Boots as your reward. This piece of equipment has higher jump and speed stats than anything else you probably have at the moment, plus it increases your speed further each time you defeat an enemy.

Overall, another easy quest, but a noteworthy one nonetheless since it eventually becomes impossible to complete if you haven’t done so already. We’ll be continuing our coverage on Mario & Luigi: Brothership with more guides on missable side quests and other subjects, too.
