There are many legendary creatures in Infinity Nikki. Some come with a quest while some others are well-hidden, requiring Stylists to explore the world thoroughly to find them. Examples of legendary creatures in Infinity Nikki are the Dawn Fox, Tulletail, Bullquet, and the Astral Swan.

Grooming the Astral Swan and obtaining its Astral Feather can be done even without following the nearby quest, but players can use the mission to learn more about the creature. The mission involving the Astral Swan is called Soaring Above the Starry Sky quest in Infinity Nikki.

Soaring Above The Starry Sky Quest In Infinity Nikki

To trigger the Soaring Above The Starry Sky quest in Infinity Nikki, players must head to the Stellar Fishing Ground Peak Warp Spire and speak to Curious Pinny nearby. The first step in the mission is to go to Lensie's house, which can easily be done by following the marker on the map using the Track system. Afterward, Stylists must groom the Astral Swan, change into the Floral Gliding outfit, and fly with it.

Once the flight with the Astral Swan is over, the next steps to completing the Soaring Above The Starry Sky quest in Infinity Nikki are:

  1. Return and look for Pinny and Lensie.
  2. Go to Stoneville and find Elron.

Grooming the Astral Swan in Infinity Nikki is easy, as players simply need to use the Bye-Bye Dust or other grooming Ability Outfit on the Astral Swan. For brushing the legendary creature, players will also get the Astral Feather material.

Change Into The Floral Gliding Outfit In Infinity Nikki

Next, equip the Floral Gliding Ability Outfit to enable flying with the Astral Swan. To be safe, it's best to also change to this outfit set from the wardrobe.

Fly With The Astral Swan In Infinity Nikki

After enabling the Floral Gliding Ability Outfit, activate the outfit next to the Astral Swan to trigger a cutscene of the creature flying away. Nikki will be determined to fly with the Swan, starting the flight scene. To successfully fly with the Astral Swan in Infinity Nikki, make sure to stay close to the Swan and don't drift away.

In the middle of the flying scene, there will be a button to Soar. Don't zone out and make sure to press it.

Once the flight almost ends and the creature returns to the starting point, don't stop the Floral Gliding outfit until the Astral Swan truly lands​​​​​. If players end the flight too early, the mission will not progress, but a successful flight will update the mission to the next part.
