NOTE: Before going for this achievement I would highly recommend completing the main story and getting all three contraptions, although the latter is not entirely necessary.
There are a total of 6 side missions in Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, all of them are pretty easy and don't take very long to complete. I'm going to give a description as to how to get each side quest, as well as a description for how to complete each side quest.
SIDE QUEST #1: Destroy The Tapes
LOCATION: Manhattan Nuclear Bunker District
To get this side quest, speak to Angela Cummings who is located at Hacker Central on the ship, although I have also seen her in the shooting range. Once you get into the bunker, Go into the first room (with the two guards) and on the very far side of the room, there will be some metal boxes. Climb the boxes and in the small area directly after we climb up will be 2 out of the 3 tapes we need to destroy. Leave that small area through the door and in the next room will be the final tape to destroy.
SIDE QUEST #2: Destroy the Sumerian Tablets
LOCATION: Roswell Underground District
To get this side quest, speak to Maya Gilliam at the Hanger Bay. Once you get about halfway through the district, there will be one single train cabinet that will have its front door locked. Go around the side and you will be in the storage area of the train, two out of the three tablets you need to destroy will be laying on pallets on the ground in the storage area. the third one will be in a hallway on the second floor of the same train.
SIDE QUEST #3: Save Hercules' Cousin
LOCATION: Venus Oberkommando District
To get this side quest, speak to Hercules Leclercq (that's not a typo lol) at the 2nd floor of Set's Lab. Go through the Oberkommando district until you use a elevator. When you get out of the elevator, keep going until you see a door on your right hand side. Enter the room and interact with the cousin.
SIDE QUEST #4: Feed Rosa the Pig
LOCATION: Eva's Hammer
To unlock this side quest, interact with Rosa the pig in the pig pen. It is right next to your room on the ship. After that, go to the stairs that lead to the bar, from the diner. Take a left instead of going up the stairs and you will be in a small food storage room. Scattered on the shelves and the floor are a handful of potatoes. Pick up the potatoes then head back to Rosa and feed her.
SIDE QUEST #5: Collect Toys for Max
All you have to do is collect all of the toy collectibles for Max. There are plenty of guides here and elsewhere on where to find them. See more details on the TA page for the achievement called "Toy Collector"
SIDE QUEST #6: Get Rid of the Rat
LOCATION: Eva's Hammer
To unlock this side quest, speak to Demont Conway, who is just to the right of the Ammo Depot. Go into the ammo depot and lift the flipped over box that's on the floor.
That's it! After you've completed all 6 side quests the achievement should pop for you.

For me the quest giver for the magnetic tapes was Laney. But she was just next to Angela
By WerferAkrobat7 on 23 Feb 2020 23:13
I agree with the commenters, this guide needs more info, such as when do the quest givers become available? After what mission?
Thought I might help...
Available after you finish Ausmerzer (And acquire the Power Armor)
Feed the pig (right outside B.J. and Anya's room on the left)
Appears when you get A New Suit mission "Talk to Grace"......
Find Maria's Red Wrench
Note: DO THIS IMMEDIATELY!!!! Go to the hanger to listen to Maria bitch about her wrench. Once the mission appears, run straight to the Shooting Range to find the wrench at the same spot where Set told you to put on your first contraption. Grab the wrench, and run back to Maria.
(Reason I said to do it immediately was because after I got the side quest, I did the bunker mission and a couple ubercommander missions. When I got back, the wrench was gone. So I reloaded my save file where I was still in the jar ready to pick my contraption just to see if that would fix the problem. After I finished Set's obstacle course, I ran to the Hanger, got the mission, and loo and behold!! The wrench was back!!
Appears after Manhattan Bunker mission......
Gizela Balog (Max's Toys)
Demont Conway (Rat Problem)
I will update when I have more info.....

MISSABLE!!
There’s are 9 side quests in Wolfenstein II.
One of them is to collect all of Max’s toys
Be sure to talk to the lady on the catwalks of the main floor of Eva’s Hammer BEFORE collecting the last toy. She disappears once you collect all toys and your progress will be stuck at 89%.
You must also complete all 3 of the contraption upgrade missions.
NOTE: This is not a complete guide. thekennygambit’s guide does a nice job explaining the other side quests. I just thought this guide could compliment his in order to give you the best information to unlock this.

The Toy Collector achievement pops when you get the last toy. The lady gives the quest, that’s it. No need to see her again.

This is solely meant as a possible tip for those who, like myself, have already collected all of Max's Toys before knowing there was even a person to talk to to start a side quest. For those looking for a more detailed list of the sidequest givers and locations, please check out the other posted solutions here. I am writing this purely because I managed to get myself out of needing an entire 2nd playthrough for this.
Let me say up front and then I'll explain in more detail, what did it for me was accidentally having a versioned save from before I completed the final level. Understandably, your mileage may vary with this solution depending on your save situation although it is *possible* that a save from nearly any spot before the final level will do. Mine was right before exiting the Evas Hammer section that led into the final level (
).
In my playthrough, I finished hunting the Ubercommandos before turning to the sidequests and made a note to try and finish as many collectibles as I could to cut down on re-visiting districts. As such, I finished Max's Toys before realizing it was *also* a sidequest that could be missed. Naturally, the first thing I thought of was trying to revisit an old save to maybe avoid having to replay as much as possible.
What I discovered was that save files were unique to whatever Progression Slot they were made under. But more over, collectibles were specifically tied to that Progression Slot and not the individual saves within one. Meaning, I could have reloaded a save from near the beginning of the game but my, at that point, 100% collectibles would all still be marked off, impossible to recollect.
However, once reloading the save from before starting the final level, I found that quest giver for Max's Toys had in fact re-appeared and gave me the quest, even though my Progression Slot still showed them all found. With a little bit of hope, I traveled to the first district I could select (don't think it mattered which) and immediately left and traveled back to the Evas Hammer. Upon returning to the sub, I think the game did a check for conditions and found that my Toy collection was complete and thus checked the quest as finished.
From there, I had to quickly replay a few of the other sidequests, but having already done them, it was very quick to drop into a district, quickly run to where they were, and bounce out. Once all were complete, including contraption quests, the achievement popped.
I returned to my original "primary" save after that and sadly my Progression File is still stuck at 98% but the achievement popped so whatever, it's fine. If I'd redone a few more things on that versioned save and made it new primary, I imagine the file might? change to 100% but I don't know. I didn't really care to re-do more.
So... if you find yourself in the same spot, I hope you have a backup save. I had accidentally created some by clicking through the menu too fast. So I recognize there's a little bit of luck here in terms of having the right conditions but I wanted to offer at least a chance of hope that I discovered. Good luck!

Man I really had hope but it isnt working... I had two saves for practicing, one at the corthouse and other with the panzerhound (before the party, the section you said) but neither of them have the quest giver. Although I think I know the reason.
My saves are located on missions and, for this to work, the save needs to be specifically on evas hammer. So when you save, it saves also the characters on evas hammer at that momment. Mine isnt working because it loads the level from scratch.
However it's a good tip, might help someone but Im afraid i have to do everything again...

I confirm that it works, you must have a save on Evas Hammer, reloading the save the game will count all the collected collectibles, recompleting the secondary missions, including the missable one, will unlock the achievement, this solution is very useful it avoids having to replay everything up to unlock side missions.

After failing to get this achievement on my first playthrough, I discovered that two sidequests can be missed entirely. I suggest waiting until you have completed the main scenario story and return to Eva's Hammer before attempting this achievement.
On my first playthrough, I discovered the other two contraptions (the two you did not choose during the story) while revisiting districts gathering collectibles. I did not realize that the contraptions were related to other side quests.
If you grab these items before getting their corresponding side quest, you lose the opportunity to complete them, thus missing the achievement. Once you've completed the quests to gather both contraptions, you'll also have an additional upgrade quest for each.
*Most side quests can be found by using the hint function while on Eva's Hammer with the exception of feeding the pig. It should display a very small icon that will lead you to a quest giver.
Below are the 10 side quests needed to unlock Sidetracked:
1. Collect Toys for Max
2. Save Hercules' Cousin
3. Destroy the Tapes
4. Destroy Sumerian Tablets
5. Feed Rosa the Pig (Interact with Rosa to activate)
6. Get Rid of the Rat
7. Contraption A
8. Contraption B
9. Contraption Upgrade A
10. Contraption Upgrade B
Once these 10 side quests have been completed, you should unlock Sidetracked.

This achievement is best done post-story.
In total, there are nine side missions in the game, almost all of which are initiated aboard Eva's Hammer by interacting with various NPCs. Most of these side missions are simple tasks that require you to revisit a district and destroy various items, while others involve completing small favors to upgrade your contraptions.
For those side missions related to upgrading the three contraptions, please refer to the "Complete Package" achievement for more information.
For those side missions that are not tied to the contraptions, please refer to the checklist below for more information.
Side Mission: Collect Toys for Max
Location: Various Districts
- For this side quest, you must collect all of Max's toys in the game. Fortunately, there is no NPC that you are required to speak with in order to initiate this. Simply collect all fifteen toys and the side quest will then be marked as complete. Please refer to the "Art Aficionado" achievement for more information and a video guide playlist.
Side Mission: Feed Rosa the Pig
Location: Eva's Hammer
- Interact with Rosa the Pig aboard Eva's Hammer. Her pen/room is located right across the all from BJ's and Bombate's room. After speaking with the swine, make your way to the storage room - it's located near one of the side entrances to the Cantina Kitchen. Interact with all of the potato piles and then return to Rose's pen. Interact with the pig once more to feed it, and then the side quest will be marked as complete.
Side Mission: Get Rid of the Rat
Location: Eva's Hammer
- Speak to Demont Conway aboard Eva's Hammer. He is located in an alcove of the U-Boat next to the Ammo Depot. Now make your way into the Ammo Depot and interact with the upside-down box on the ground. Once the box is flipped, the side quest is marked as complete.
Side Mission: Destroy the Tapes
Location: Manhattan Nuclear Bunker District
- Speak to Laney inside Hacker Central to initiate this side quest. Now use the War Map to revisit the Nuclear Bunker district of Manhattan. When you arrive, press
to see waypoints to the objectives. Follow these waypoints on your HUD - they will bring you to the offices of the bunker where you can destroy red tapes. Once all three sets of tapes are destroyed, the side mission is marked as complete. You can return to Eva's Hammer by any time by opening the Journal, going to the "Missions" tab, and pressing 
to exit the mission.
Side Mission: Destroy the Sumerian Tablets
Location: Roswell Underground District
- Speak to Maya Gilliam aboard Eva's Hammer. She can usually be found around the Hanger Bay or on the second floor of the Helm. Now use the War Map to revisit the Underground district of Roswell. After making your way down the initial area and emerging into a large cavern with Supersoldats, press to see waypoints to the objectives. Follow these waypoints on your HUD - they will bring you to the one of the train carts where you can destroy the Sumerian tablets. Once all three tablets are destroyed, the side mission is marked as complete. You can return to Eva's Hammer by any time by opening the Journal, going to the "Missions" tab, and pressing to exit the mission.
Side Mission: Save Hercules' Cousin
Location: Venus Oberkommando District
- Speak with Hercules Leclerc aboard Eva's Hammer. He can be found on the second floor of Set's Lab. Now use the War Map to revisit the Oberkommando district of Venus. When you arrive, make your way through the station until you reach the elevator. Take the elevator up, and then press to see the waypoint to the objective. Follow this waypoint to a closed off room on the right-hand side of a long hallway. Inside, interact with Leclerc's cousin and you will complete the side quest and automatically be brought back to Eva's Hammer.
Once all six of these side missions have been completed, as well as the contraption upgrade missions, the achievement will finally unlock.

There are not many side quests, you can take them on the submarine "Eve's Hammer", if a square lights up next to the character, then click on it, listen and get the task. At each level (in height) in the submarine, look at the map, the magnifying glass sign is additional tasks. There are 11 tasks in total:
- Two tasks to find improvements for a new body. Depends on which one you choose initially.
- Three tasks for leveling up these same improvements.
- One task to destroy repeaters in the bunker.
- One mission to destroy artifacts on a train in Roswell.
- One mission to rescue Dimitri in Oberkommando.
- Catch a rat (Don't miss it if you collect all collectables)
- Collect all Max's toys, you need to take the task from the NPC, and then go up to her and complete the task.
- And don’t forget to feed the pig on the submarine
, he will need to bring some potatoes from the pantry.

The trophy is glitchy!
Do not collect Max's toys or destroy the artifacts on the train in Roswell before taking the corresponding quests - otherwise you will not be able to engage in dialogue with the characters who give the corresponding quests. I destroyed the artifacts ahead of time and could not take the task. And even when loading an earlier save within one save cell and when going through all the additional ones that have not been completed. missions, the statistics will freeze at 89%, like mine. The only way out is to start the game again and run through the game on minimum difficulty without any mistakes in the extras. missions.

The trophy seems to be buggy. Collected all body upgrades without a task - completed everything else - does not drop out. There is no magnifying glass icon on the map.
