Hey everyone, buckle up because we're diving into one of Infinity Nikki's most atmospheric time-limited quests from the Star-Kissed Wishes event! You know that feeling when your favorite festival is about to start, but everything's falling apart at the last minute? 😅 That's exactly the vibe in Florawish right now. Imagine you're finally ready to enjoy the Shooting Star Seasons, but oh wait—the main attraction, the Wishing Nebula Stargazing Deck, is broken! Talk about a mood killer. Everyone's scrambling, especially Hiya, who's juggling a million tasks. So, guess who steps up? That's right, us! Nikki and our trusty (and hungry) companion Momo volunteer to hop on the legendary Grand Crane and fix this cosmic mess before the festival begins. It's not just about earning rewards; it's about making sure everyone, including the overworked Hiya, gets to have a magical time under the stars.

🚀 Quest Trigger & The Stressed Guards

So, how do we even start this starry rescue mission? First, you need to wrap up the 'Good Decor, Bad Decor' quest. The moment you finish that, bam! The 'Save the Wishing Nebula' quest automatically pops up. Your first stop? A couple of very worried guards standing nearby. I went up to them, and let me tell you, their anxiety is contagious! They basically unload all their worries on you: "Hiya is swamped! She has to fix the Stargazing Deck, but there's no time! The festival is starting!" Listening to their complaints isn't just a formality; it really sets the stage. You feel the urgency. Hiya is carrying the weight of the whole festival on her shoulders, and fixing this broken nebula is a top priority. It's our job to lighten her load.

🧚 Meeting the Riddle-Obsessed Sprite, Arubida

After getting the lowdown from the guards, Nikki has a bright idea. "Hey, we can ask Nonoy to take the Grand Crane up there!" Great plan, right? Well, follow the quest marker inside the nearby building, and you'll find... not Nonoy, but a tiny, distracted Faewish Sprite named Arubida. This little guy is absolutely lost in his own world of puzzles and riddles. I tried talking to him about the urgent mission, about Hiya, about the festival—nothing. He's in his own little riddle dimension. The only way to get through to him? You guessed it: solve his riddles. This part is actually a fun little brain teaser before the platforming challenge. It's like, "Bro, the nebula is dying!" and he's like, "What has keys but can't open locks?" 😂 You just have to play along.

🌌 The Nighttime Wait & The Grand Crane Ride

Once you've proven your worth as a riddle master, Arubida finally acknowledges you. But there's a catch! He says we have to wait until nighttime for him to guide us to the Grand Crane, because Nonoy isn't available right now. This little wait builds up the anticipation perfectly. When night finally falls in-game, Arubida leads you to the majestic Grand Crane. Riding this thing up to the Stargazing Deck is a moment. The music, the view of Florawish shrinking below, the stars twinkling above—it's peak Infinity Nikki beauty. You really feel like you're on a special mission.

⏱️ The Timed Platforming Challenge

You land on the Stargazing Deck, and the reality of the task hits you. It's... broken. Glitching lights, unstable platforms. You need to approach a glowing golden cube to start the real challenge: a timed platforming sequence. Don't panic! Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how I nailed it:

1. The First Jump: Right in front of you are three small, floating platforms. Jump onto them in sequence to reach a larger, stable platform. Easy warm-up!

2. Moving Platforms Part 1: Now you'll see a moving platform shuttling back and forth. The key here is patience. Wait for it to come directly to you or get very close before making the jump. No reckless leaps!

3. Moving Platforms Part 2: Same deal with the next moving platform. Time your jump from the first moving platform onto the second.

4. The Final Gauntlet: This is the tricky part. You're faced with a square arrangement of four moving platforms rotating or moving in a pattern. You have two options:

5. The Safe Way: Jump onto one platform and literally just stand there as it carries you to the other side.

6. The Speedy Way: If you're confident, you can chain jumps between the platforms. I tried the speedy way... and fell. Twice. 🙃 So maybe take the scenic route on your first try!

The pressure of the timer really gets your heart pumping! But the satisfaction of making that final jump to the goal is immense.

🔥 Grabbing the Whim Flame & Activating the Switch

As you approach the finish line of the platforming section, DON'T just run through! Look for a glowing, ethereal sphere called the Whim Flame. It's just sitting there, waiting for you. MAKE SURE YOU PICK IT UP. This is the entire key to fixing the nebula! I almost missed it in my rush to beat the timer. Once you have it, the game will guide you back to the main deck area. Now, turn around and look for a peculiar switch or socket mechanism. Interact with it to place the Whim Flame. The moment you do... magic happens. Lights flare up, the nebula overhead stops glitching and starts shining brilliantly, and the music swells. You did it! You literally restored the heart of the festival.

🎉 Mission Complete & The Reward

With the nebula shimmering beautifully again, hop back on the Grand Crane (feeling like a total hero now) and descend back to ground level. Your final task is to find Hiya and the two guards. The conversation here is so rewarding. Hiya’s relief and gratitude are palpable. The guards are cheering. They tell you that because of your help, Hiya can finally take a moment to actually enjoy the Shooting Star Seasons she worked so hard to create. Completing the conversation officially finishes the 'Saving the Wishing Nebula!' quest. The event rewards flow in, but honestly, the best reward is that feeling of having fixed a piece of magic for everyone. You're not just a stylist; you're a festival savior! So, did you all manage to solve Arubida's riddles on the first try? And please tell me I wasn't the only one who fell off those moving platforms!
