How To Complete Friends Quest In Duolingo In 2024? (Best Ways)

Duolingo is a complete package to teach you a new language. I have always looked for Duolingo when I am learning a new language. I prefer this platform because it not only helps me learn new content but also adds to challenges that help me test my knowledge. One such challenge that I love is Friends quest in Duolingo. Duolingo not only teaches you but, also gives you the freedom to connect with other users. When you become friends with them, you will get a chance to enter the friend’s quest. Now, you must be wondering how to complete it.

Let’s not waste our time worrying. I am here to share my personal ways with you to complete the friend’s quest.

Quick Takeaways

• Friends Quest in Duolingo competitions are the ones that you will have to complete with a friend on Duolingo.
• As these quests are random, you can be paired with any of your friends randomly by Duolingo.
• To complete these challenges you can try sending friends free nudges or gifts.

What are the Friends Quest in Duolingo?

Friends Quests in Duolingo are completed with a friend on Duolingo and are weekly challenges. Usually, there are two main challenges on Duolingo with the weekly challenges – monthly challenges and daily quests. One thing that I don’t like about this challenge is that these quests are totally random. It means that the friend with whom you will complete the Quest will change each week.

As it is a joint challenge, you will have to complete the challenge with the help of your friends and your progress will depend upon what you both do together. The ratio in which you both will have to work is undefined. So suppose you are in a challenge that gives you 200XP, you can do the work which gives 150XP and your friends give 50XP or vice versa.

Remember, you can only make friends when you and they are at a similar level. If you and your friend finish the quest before the time, you will get an extra reward also. However, if you use Duolingo on the Desktop version, you will probably not see this challenge. It is currently available on the mobile app and not on the desktop.

How to find your Friends quest?

To find your friend’s quest in Duolingo, follow the steps given below-

Select the chest icon and visit the challenge page.

Now scroll down and look for the friend’s quest option over there.

Here, you will get the quest in which you can take part. You can also see if there is any ongoing quest. In it, you will be able to see what are the Friends quest all about, and with whom you will be doing it. When you see the partner, you can either send a gift or a nudge to them.
The nudge feature will act as a reminder for your friend to take part in the quest. Whereas, you can only send the XP boost, as a gift. Further, you must know that nudges are free to send, whereas, to send the gift, you will need to pay 20 gems for each gift. Having friends will not only help you to complete the quest but will also help you to stay motivated in the course.

What are the ways to complete the friends quest in Duolingo?

To get the friends quest, you and your friend must be at level 5 in the same language. When you follow the first three users, you unlock one of the achievements. So if you are in Spanish, Italian, Russian, or any other language, the friend must also be in the same language and at the same level. However, the following are the tips for completing the friends quest in Duolingo-

1. Send some nudges to your partner 

If you find that the friend you get is not interested in completing the challenge, send them some nudges. A nudge will remind your partner to open the app and complete the friends quest. I have tried this way every time when I get a partner who is not completing the lessons. You will be getting the option of 4 for choosing whom to send. There is no doubt, that, the person may not pay attention to these nudges. Thus you can try sending other things like gifts.

2. Send gifts

As we already discussed above, you can only send XP boosts as a part of the gift and you also need to use 20 gems on it. Although it will lose your gems, it can be a great way to make a bond with the other users. There are also chances that they might appreciate you and send you the same. However, I only recommend you do it once in a while. Of course, only send these gifts, if you have a lot of gems.

3. Remembering the deadline

When you get assignments in the school, what is the first thing, you look for? The deadline. Similarly, when you are in a quest it is important to know how much time is left in completing the tasks. Usually, you will find 4 days or a week to complete the task. In most cases, you will only have four days to complete them. But, remember, that you will have a lot of different work to do. Due to this, you may have less time to complete the challenge.

Once you are in the friend’s quest, make sure, you check the time left daily. When you do it, you will be able to know at what speed you are doing the challenge. It will further help you maintain your speed for it and help you to get better results.

4. Knowing about the requirements

Every friend’s quest is different from each other. It means that sometimes you may get more lessons to complete or, at some times, you may need to complete other tasks. For example, if the challenge requires you to complete five lessons in a week, you can divide the content between you and your partner. However, if the ultimate goal is to get around 80% in a single lesson, you may do it, yourself. Thus, depending upon the requirements, you will need to make your approach to completing the lessons.

Important: Remember friend quest means to complete the tasks together. So if your partner is not doing it and the tasks are tough, don’t stress about it. Once, I made this mistake and eventually was unable to complete the challenge. It was a waste of my hard work for 4 days.

How to start the friends quest in Duolingo?

As we mentioned earlier Friends Quest in Duolingo is only available on mobile. Thus, the main requirement for starting the friend quest is to be on mobile and the friend should also be on mobile. If you or the other person uses the desktop version, you will not get friends quest in Duolingo. Also, it is important to note that you must follow each other on the platform. Rather than that there is nothing you need to do.

Duolingo will pair you with your friends on their own. You will get notifications for it on both: inside and outside of the app. Further, we have mentioned some of the different friends quests in Duolingo.

What are the different Friends quests in Duolingo?

Friends quests in Duolingo will change each week. It means you will get new challenges and a new partner each week. However, in some cases, you may see the same friend for different quests. Further are some of the most common friend quests on Duolingo –

• Earning a particular amount of XP
• Completing a particular number of lessons
• Completing a particular number of perfect lessons
• Completing a particular number of lessons with at least 90% accuracy.

When you take part in a challenge it is crucial to know what rewards you will get for it. Thus, further, we will help you discuss what rewards you will get for completing it.

What rewards do you get on completing the friends quest in Duolingo?

If you and your friend can complete the friends quest in Duolingo before on time, you will be unlocking two special rewards-

XP Boosts

You will get the XP boost which will last for 30 minutes. You can either claim it as soon as you complete the challenge or take it later from the shop.

100 gems

The next reward that you get on this platform is 100 gems. It is a huge reward and you can use them to unlock new lessons. You can also use them to get new status icons and costumes for the Duo Owl.

5 completed quests

You will also get 5 completed quests toward your monthly challenge badge. (Note: Some users are reporting to get a single quest towards a monthly challenge badge.)

Important: You and your friend will get the same reward, and, it doesn’t matter who worked more in completing the challenge. Thus, try to divide whole tasks between you and your partner.

How to do a Friends Quest with a specific friend?

First, find out, whether that friend is also interested in pairing up in the challenges with you. If yes, then the only thing that you both can do is to unfollow all the other people. However, before doing it, make sure that the other person is really interested in it. One of my friends made this mistake. She was actually convinced that her friend wanted to do all the challenges with her. But it did not happen. She lost a lot of friends, she had made on Duolingo.

Conclusion

Friends Quests in Duolingo are the random challenges that you take with friends. These challenges randomly pair you with the other users. To get in this challenge, you and the partner must follow each other. However, how much you and your partner will contribute, is not specifically mentioned. You can either send them a gift (XP Booster) or a nudge to build up a connection. Try to complete the challenges on time to earn some exciting rewards.
