How to unlock the The Secondary Adventure achievement in Darksiders II - Definitive Guide

None of the sidequests in the game are missable, but some are only available from NPCs after certain events in the game.

Important note about New Game+
Sidequest progress (including collectables) does not carry over to New Game+. After you complete the last boss, you will be given the options to save over your last save before the Well of Souls. DO NOT do this if you have not completed all sidequests in your current playthrough.

A full walkthrough of the sidequests and the main quests can be found here (Credit to Tyger7):

I personally haven't seen any across TA or x360a. I thought something had gone wrong with mine at first, but it turns out I hadn't completed Nathaniel's mission in Lostlight.

I haven't completed "Gnomad's Gnomes" quest, in fact I haven't even started it yet and the achievement has popped. I had all the rest of the Side missions done, apart from this one. +1 For the guide though, buddy.

Question: If I complete all quests but one in my first playthrough, and then complete that one quest in New Game +, will that count?

Ran into the Book of the Dead glitch on my first playthrough...

From what I've heard, all quests must be done on one playthrough. I can't confirm this myself though, unfortunately. Sorry I can't tell you 100%.

Maybe try your luck on the forums over at xboxachievements.com and see if anyone has tried the same?

While I'm not 100% - since those quests appear to be from the DLC, I assume they wouldn't be required for the 360 version. http://au.ign.com/wikis/darksiders-2/Lost_and_Found

I'm not a big fan of video guides or having to play through the game reading a walkthrough the entire time. I much prefer to have a checklist of everything so I can mark off what I've found and go back and get the rest. So I made a Google Doc Spreadsheet of all the collectibles and their locations (including the relics). It's publicly viewable so you can make a copy for yourself.

Click for Google Doc Spreadsheet

I tried to make the lists in the order you would find them as you played through the game. I used many sources to put this spreadsheet together (there's a tab with them all). You may need other walkthroughs to help complete the tasks, this is just a spreadsheet for track purposes. The numbering of all items is consistent with the Games Radar guide which I found the most helpful.

I did not create the GamesRadar guide or any of the other guides listed in this spreadsheet. I just aggregated their content into this spreadsheet for tracking purposes.

Enjoy.

Great checklist! I too am not a big fan of video guides, unless the list is hard to follow.

There are a total of 17 side quests in Darksiders 2, not including additional DLC, such as the four given in Death Rides pack or any future content. The four collection quests are called "Sticks and Stones", "Lost Relics", "The Book of the Dead", and "GnoMAD". Gnomad and The Book of the Dead have trophies of the same name connected with them; so you refer to their specific guides for assistance. Note that you will not be able to complete any of the collection quests until the very end of the game, despite being given them fairly early on.

To check how many of the side quests you have completed press and go to the "Stats" page, which has a question mark for its symbol. Scroll to the bottom of the list to view the Secondary Quests Completed stat. If you have not done any of the optional DLC side quests the trophy will unlock when the counter reaches 17. However, if you plan on doing DLC side quests and are concerned about keeping track accurately you will have to distinguish between the DLC and non-DLC side quests yourself.

Because there is no way to know exactly which quests you have completed, you can track them using the side-quest mini-guide that I've compiled, which is located here: Darksiders 2 Side-Quest Mini-Guide

All sidequests took place after the plot. And problems arose only with one quest - Muria - Shaman's Craft.
Here's a great description of what to do: https://www.ign.com/wikis/darksiders-2/Shaman's_Craft.
After completing the main story, enemy respawn is limited. And the places where such “animals” used to be found are becoming increasingly rare. BUT! After running around a fair amount and re-reading the “literature”, I found everyone:
1. Stalker - Fjord location. Fast movement, next to the mason these little animals are running (they are three times larger than “little things”)
2. Stinger - Crucible location (Crucible in our opinion) wave up to 20 exactly. Mosquito bees. So we don’t worry too much.
3. Sentinel - Lost Temple location. This is a flying head. (You need to go inside where, according to the plot, there was a battle with 6 Sentinels..) You can also go to the Crucible.. But the wave will be 50 maybe.

bass_fever , thank you very much for the tip. Some clarifying information:
2. Stinger - Crucible location appears on the 7th wave,
3. Sentinel - the Lost Temple location appears on the 12th wave.
