'''Tasks''' (Japanese: '''任務''' ''task'') are quests in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. There are two distinct types of tasks in the game: '''missions''' (Japanese: '''メイン''' ''main''), which are main quests required to progress the story, and '''requests''' (Japanese: '''サブ''' ''sub''), which are sidequests that do not play major roles in the main story.

Each task has several objectives. When the player completes the listed objective, either they will receive new objectives or the task will be marked as complete.

"Guidance" (Japanese: ガイド ''guide'') allows tracking of one of the player's current tasks. Guidance creates an icon in the overworld that marks where the player needs to go to progress their current mission, with a number underneath indicating their distance from that point. Guidance will be enabled for the player's current mission by default but can be changed by manually selecting another task. Once the player completes all of the missions, guidance must be manually activated for requests as it will not automatically track them.

The main purpose of tasks is to help the player advance the story and further complete the [[List of Pokémon by Hisui Pokédex number|Hisui Pokédex]]. The tasks are also a way of unlocking new features such as massive mass outbreaks, the [[Path of Solitude]], and the Path of Tenacity that were added in the Daybreak update.
