Complete Guide to Friendship is Bubbling Quest: How to Inspire Polly & Get Rewards in Infinity Nikki

Hey, fellow Stylists! 👋 I just spent the most delightful afternoon helping out our aquatic friend Polly in the Infinity Nikki 'Lucky Journey' event, and I'm bursting with excitement to share the complete walkthrough for the 'Friendship is Bubbling' world quest with you all. It's such a heartwarming little side story that perfectly captures the game's charm, and the rewards are absolutely worth it! If you're stuck or just want to make sure you don't miss a step, this guide has got you covered. Let's dive right in! 🐠

🔓 Unlocking the Quest: The Essential Prerequisites

Before you can even think about inspiring Polly, you need to unlock the quest itself. It’s not available right from the start, so here’s your checklist of story progression you must complete first. Trust me, it’s a journey, but it sets up the story beautifully!

  1. Complete 'Go to Dream Warehouse' – This is a main story quest that concludes Chapter 2. It's your gateway to the wider world!

  2. Complete 'Good Decor, Bad Decor' – Part of the Shining Wish event. This will auto-populate in your journal after the Dream Warehouse.

  3. Complete 'Save the Wishing Nebula' – Another Shining Wish event quest. It unlocks automatically after you finish the decor mission.

  4. Complete 'Truth and Celebration' – Yep, still in the Shining Wish event storyline! This comes right after saving the Nebula.

  5. Complete 'Thanks Fish Knight' – This one starts a bit differently. You need to chat with Donald at the Leisureely Anglers Florawish Branch, which is located just south of Florawish Town.

Phew! Once you've ticked all these boxes, you're officially ready to begin the 'Friendship is Bubbling' adventure. The quest log should point you toward your next destination.

🗺️ Starting the Quest: Find Pepo & Polly

With the prerequisites done, it’s time to officially start! Head back to the Leisureely Anglers Florawish Branch. Here, you need to find and speak with Pepo. If it’s nighttime in your game, don’t worry! Just use the handy 'Pass Time' feature to fast-forward to daytime hours—it makes finding NPCs so much easier.

After your chat with Pepo, your next stop is Polly. You’ll find her standing in a picturesque spot between Florawish Town and the Leisureely Anglers. Again, if it’s night, you can use the 'Run, Pear-Pal' app to quickly change the time. Talk to her to get the quest details: she needs inspiration, and it’s up to YOU to provide it with your styling genius!

👗 The Styling Challenge: Dress to Impress (and Inspire!)

This is the core of the quest! Polly is feeling uninspired and needs to see something that reminds her of a Pink Ribbon Eel. To do this, you’ll initiate a Styling Challenge where the key attribute is Sweet! Your goal is to create an outfit with the highest possible Sweet rating.

Here’s my top tip for an easy, high-scoring outfit:

  • Wear the 'Afternoon Shine' outfit. Every single piece of this set has a Sweet rating of A, giving you a fantastic foundation.

  • Accessorize! Stack on more Sweet-focused accessories, jewelry, and Eurekas. Look for items with the Sweet tag to boost your score even higher.

The game is hinting at the flowing, elegant form of the eel, so think ribbons, soft pinks, and graceful silhouettes. Once you’ve put together a suitably sweet and inspiring ensemble, present it to Polly!

Pro Tip: If you don't have the full 'Afternoon Shine' set, don't panic! Just mix and match your highest Sweet-rated items. The goal is to get that rating as high as possible.

📸 The Finale: Capture the Moment!

Inspiring Polly with your outfit is just the first part. The quest has a truly adorable conclusion! After she’s feeling inspired, you need to:

  1. Pull out your in-game camera.

  2. Take a quick photo of Polly standing together with Pepo. Get them both in the frame for the perfect friendship shot!

  3. Show the photo to Polly. This simple, heartfelt act is what finally completes the 'Friendship is Bubbling' quest. It’s such a cute moment! 💖

🎁 Claim Your Well-Deserved Rewards!

And now, for the best part—the loot! Completing this charming quest grants you some fantastic resources to help on your continued journey through the Mirror World. Here’s exactly what you’ll get:

Reward Item Quantity Usefulness
Diamonds 💎 40x The premium currency! Essential for pulls and special items.
Bling 💰 30,000x Your standard currency for buying and upgrading a ton of things.
Shiny Bubbles 150x Event-specific currency for the Lucky Journey event exchange shop.
