Level 35 Quest Overview
The level 35 quest is an important bridge between early-game leveling and your first prestige in Your Bizarre Adventure. It gives players a repeatable boss objective, useful experience, and money just when normal storyline progress has started to slow down.
The quest giver is called DEO in-game, though players may also recognize him as DIO. He asks you to defeat Jotaro Kujo, commonly called JOE in quest references. You must be level 35 or higher before DEO will offer the quest.
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Minimum level | Level 35 |
| Quest NPC | DEO |
| Objective | Defeat Jotaro/JOE |
| Quest area | Naples Train Station area |
| Rewards | Experience and cash |
| Main purpose | Leveling toward prestige and later progression |
At Prestige 0, level 35 is the maximum level. That means this quest is often the last major repeatable activity players use before resetting their level through prestige. If you have reached level 35 already, you should have enough experience with your Stand, blocking, and basic combat to start farming the boss efficiently.
DEO is located near the JOE boss around the train station. If you are unsure where to go, travel to the station and look around the nearby combat area rather than searching the city center or sewers.
Finding DEO and Starting the Quest
Talk to DEO near JOE at the train station. Follow the dialogue choices that accept his request. Declining the dialogue ends the interaction, so speak with him again if you choose the wrong response.
DEO’s request is straightforward: defeat Jotaro. Once accepted, your quest tracker should show the boss objective. You can return to DEO after completing the fight to receive the reward and accept the quest again if you still need levels.
| NPC or target | Location | Level relevance | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| DEO | Near Naples Train Station | 35+ | Gives the Jotaro quest |
| JOE/Jotaro | Train Station combat area | 35+ recommended | Boss you must defeat |
| Doppio | Mountains or nearby parking area references | 30+ | Earlier boss-grind quest |
| Zeppeli | Sewers | 25+ | Vampire-hunting quest before level 30 |
| Prestige Master | Train Station vicinity | At level cap | Resets level for a prestige |
Before starting, check that your skill points are assigned. A level 35 character with unused skill points will have a much harder time against Jotaro than one with improved vitality, damage, and Stand abilities.
A practical preparation checklist:
- Put available points into your character and Stand skill trees.
- Bring a combat-ready Stand rather than a newly rolled, unbuilt Stand.
- Keep enough cash for prestige instead of spending everything on unnecessary rerolls.
- Learn your block, perfect block, barrage, and heavy-punch timing.
- Reset or heal between failed attempts rather than repeatedly rushing in unprepared.
Jotaro can be punishing for players who only attack with basic punches. Be patient. Blocking creates safer openings, especially when the boss uses a heavy hit that you can potentially parry. Once you have an opening, use your Stand’s damaging moves, then back away before committing to another exchange.
How to Beat Jotaro Reliably
The your bizarre adventure level 35 quest is less about finding an obscure item and more about winning a boss fight consistently. Your exact strategy will depend on your Stand, but the fundamentals apply to most builds.
Avoid treating every fight as a damage race. Jotaro is dangerous at close range, and reckless barrages can leave you exposed. Watch his attacks, defend first, and punish when he misses or commits to a heavy strike.
| Combat situation | Recommended response | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Jotaro approaches aggressively | Block and maintain spacing | Reduces damage from basic attacks |
| He uses a heavy punch | Try to perfect block, then counterattack | Creates a strong punish window |
| Your Stand has a barrage | Use it after a safe opening | Delivers damage without starting recklessly |
| You are low on health | Disengage and avoid trading hits | Preserves the attempt |
| A move leaves him vulnerable | Use your strongest available skill | Converts defensive play into progress |
Pilot-style Stands can make some PvE encounters easier because they let you attack with less direct exposure. Stands with reliable barrage pressure and good damage can also work well. The best choice is usually the one you already understand and have invested points into.
If Jotaro keeps defeating you, do not assume the quest is impossible. First check whether your build is missing vitality, destructive power, or key Stand upgrades. Then focus on practicing defensive timing. Even a modest build can perform much better when you stop taking unnecessary trades.
The fight may take several attempts if you are new to boss combat. That is normal. Each attempt teaches you more about his rhythm, and completing the quest once makes future runs much faster.
Using the Quest in Your Leveling Route
The DEO quest fits near the end of the first prestige cycle. Most players reach it after completing the main storyline and using lower-level repeatable quests to close the gap to level 35.
The storyline is especially valuable because it awards significant experience while moving you through the map. It also provides money and progression rewards that help establish your character before repeatable boss farming begins.
| Level range | Suggested activity | Goal |
|---|---|---|
| 1–5 | Officer Sam and early city quests | Learn combat and gain initial levels |
| Early levels | Main storyline | Gain fast experience and rewards |
| Around 25–30 | Zeppeli’s vampire quest | Push toward Doppio eligibility |
| 30–35 | Doppio’s boss quest | Reach level 35 efficiently |
| 35+ | DEO’s Jotaro quest | Farm experience before or after prestige milestones |
At Prestige 0, level 35 is your cap. When you reach it, you can pay $5,000 to Prestige Master and begin Prestige 1. Prestiging resets your experience, skill points, current storyline progress, fighting style, and active quests. However, you keep important long-term progress, including your Stand, items, money, race, cosmetics, and game passes.
| Prestige rank | Level cap | Notable progression |
|---|---|---|
| Prestige 0 | 35 | Starting cap; DEO quest becomes available |
| Prestige 1 | 40 | Requiem Arrow access becomes available |
| Prestige 2 | 45 | Steel Ball Run access becomes available |
| Prestige 3 | 50 | Current highest listed prestige cap |
Each prestige also improves quest experience gains, making repeated leveling less slow over time. Because prestige resets the storyline, expect to replay it after every reset. Keep your $5,000 prestige cost ready so you do not reach the cap and get stuck farming while short on money.
After Prestige 1, DEO’s quest can remain a useful part of the leveling route. Some players continue with the standard storyline, Zeppeli, Doppio, and DEO progression. Others use more advanced boss routes if their build and gear are strong enough. The dependable choice is the route you can complete consistently without wasting time on repeated deaths.
