Infinity Nikki: A Guide to Obtaining Stellar Fruit
Infinity Nikki's vast array of outfits requires diverse crafting materials, some readily available, others elusive. Stellar Fruit falls into the latter category, found only in the Wishing Woods under specific conditions. This guide details how to acquire this sparkling ingredient.
Locating Stellar Fruit:
Stellar Fruit is exclusively found in the Wishing Woods, accessible after completing Chapter 6 of the main storyline. After assisting Timis, begin your search. Crucially, Stellar Fruit only appears at night on unique Chronos Trees. During the day, these trees bear Sol Fruit.
To expedite the process, utilize your Pear-Pal's "Run, Pear-Pal" function to fast-forward time to 22:00 (the start of nighttime). Locate a Chronos Tree (easily identifiable by its daytime Sol Fruit), skip to night, and harvest the transformed Stellar Fruit.
Each Chronos Tree yields up to three Stellar Fruits. Additional fruit may be scattered on the ground, but be swift; Maskwing Bugs will attempt to carry them away. Prioritize collecting the fruit from the bugs, then utilize a Bug-Catching outfit to capture the insects themselves.
Utilizing the Map:
After your first Stellar Fruit acquisition, leverage your in-game map for efficient harvesting. Access the "Collections" tab (bottom-left corner of the map), locate Stellar Fruit within the "Plants" category, and select "Track." This highlights nearby fruit locations. With a sufficiently upgraded Collection Insight, you can also gather Stellar Fruit Essence.
The above map shows all known Stellar Fruit locations in the Wishing Woods, useful if you haven't unlocked Precise Tracking.
Alternative Acquisition:
The in-game store ("Resonance" tab) offers Stellar Fruit (up to 5 per month), but requires Surging Ebb as currency. This currency's rarity makes this method less efficient.
Remember to collect other rare items, such as Pink Ribbon Eels (available only during the Shooting Star season, V.1.1), while exploring.
