As part of the 1.5 update for Infinity Nikki, players can collect Ethereal Stars in the Sea of Stars to make the iconic miracle outfit that goes by the same name. You’ll need at least 22 Ethereal Stars to unlock the nodes in the Heart of Infinity skill tree to make the Sea of Stars outfit, but how do you actually get them?
Before we get into this, I should note that the current state of Infinity Nikki 1.5 is tremendously buggy. Even I’m confused about how some of these acquisition methods work, because I cannot for the life of me figure out if the system is bugged or if this is just how it’s supposed to work? Based on Infinity Nikki community response, many players seem to be in the same boat.
Below, this guide explains how to get Ethereal Stars in Infinity Nikki (at least how we think you’re supposed to).
How to get Ethereal Stars in Infinity Nikki
You can only get a finite number of Ethereal Stars per day, so you’ll want to make sure to complete these dailies in order to flesh out your Heart of Infinity.
There are two methods to grabbing these stars:
* Complete the “Starlit Moments” dailies in the Sea of Stars area for eight Ethereal Stars every day. These tasks just involve taking pictures and interacting with various attractions in the Sea of Stars.
* Ring the bell near Warp Nexuses in the Sea of Stars area to summon collectable Ethereal Stars — though this method stopped working for me.
The latter method is supposed to reset each day (and you can tell they’re reset by the dome around them), according to the in-game tutorial, but as of this morning (April 29), the bell has not worked. It did work last night right when the game launched, so it’s possible that the reset time for the bell is different than the usual daily reset time? Other players have also reported that the bell has stopped working for them.
All of that said, I’ll figure things out more when the dust settles and the bugs get patched up. Developer InFold Games has already posted acknowledging that version 1.5 is a mess, but their announcement doesn’t really address this (or some of the other bugs I’ve encountered in the Sea of Stars, either).
We’ve reached out to InFold Games for more information on whether these are bugs or if this is working intentionally and will update this guide once we hear back.
