Together In The Cloudsea Event Guide And Rewards

Use Bubbles to Show Platforms

Approach and interact with these bubbles to activate them. Upon activation, they will reveal or highlight the hidden platforms nearby.

Watch Out for Over The Edge Bubbles

In the Cloudsea Realm, certain bubbles are strategically positioned at the very edges of platforms or suspended in mid-air. To reach them safely, you'll need precise timing and smart use of Nikki’s Floating ability to stay airborne just long enough for the hidden paths to appear as any missteps could send you falling into the abyss.

Bubble Trails Has a Faster Switch Mechanism

In Hard Mode, the mechanics remain largely the same, but the challenge increases with shorter delays between bubble activation and platform disappearance. This means you'll have less time to react, requiring faster decision-making, quicker jumps, and even more precise use of the Floating ability to avoid falling or missing platforms.

Moving Platforms

In the second stage of the Cloudsea Realm, moving platforms are introduced, adding an extra layer of difficulty. These platforms shift horizontally or vertically, requiring precise timing to land on them as they move.

Check Platform Path Lines

In some stages of the Cloudsea Realm, glowing lines or trails appear as hint to show the path of hidden or moving platforms. These visual cues are essential for planning your next jump and understanding where the platforms will appear or travel.

Watch for Signs They're About to Disappear

Make sure to cross before the platform disappears, as many sections in the Cloudsea Realm are strictly timed. Once a bubble is activated or a platform becomes visible, a hidden timer often begins. These platforms will only remain solid for a few seconds before they begin to flicker, dim, or emit fading particles before they're about to vanish.

Pay Attention to Path Patterns

In later stages, platform path lines lines also intersect, overlap, or form crossing routes, making it harder to immediately tell which route leads forward. You’ll need to study the layout carefully and observe how the paths behave before making your move as sometimes the right way forward isn’t the most obvious one.

Vanishing Platforms

Stage 3 introduces vanishing platforms as the main challenge. These platforms appear briefly and begin to flicker, pulse, or fade when they are about to disappear, giving you a moment’s warning to act.

Watch the Chain Sequence

Many of these platforms appear in a timed sequence with a specific pattern, requiring you to observe their order and rhythm before attempting to cross. They often light up or become solid one after another, and following the correct pattern is key to maintaining momentum.

There is No Time Limit So Take Your Time

Rushing in without understanding the sequence can lead to missteps or falling, so take a moment to watch how the platforms behave, then move decisively once the path is clear. Once you've identified the rhythm, you can make your move with confidence and precision.

Pattern Recognition is the Key

If platforms appear in a set pattern or loop, try to memorize the sequence. Watch how each platform activates, the order in which they appear, how long they remain visible, and when they vanish. This helps you anticipate the next move which is especially helpful in Hard Mode, where reaction windows are shorter.

Escort the Bubble to Safety

In Stage 4 of the Cloudsea Realm, fan mechanics is introduced. Your goal is to escort the bubble all the way to the end of the course, so carefully navigating these hazards with precise timing and coordination is needed to complete the challenge.

Bubbles Regenerate at the Recent Checkpoint

If the bubble is popped along the way, whether by wind from a fan or bullets from a cannon, it will automatically respawn at the most recent checkpoint you've passed. Escorting the bubble requires both careful navigation and awareness of these safety points. Use checkpoints to your advantage as you guide it safely to the goal.

Don't Move From The Turn Off Switch Early

To safely guide the bubble past the fan, you’ll need to step onto the switch platform to temporarily turn off the fan. Wait until the bubble has completely passed through the fan’s wind path before stepping off. If you move off the switch too soon, the fan will reactivate, and the gust can burst the bubble mid-transit.

Use Elevation to Your Advantage

Gaining higher ground can make a big difference when escorting the bubble through complex sections. Standing on elevated platforms, ledges, or hovering just above the bubble gives you a clearer view of the route ahead

Scout The Bubble’s Path Ahead

It's a good idea to move ahead the bubble and follow its path line to get a look at the route it will take. These glowing path lines show exactly where the bubble will travel, allowing you to identify hazards in advance such as fans, cannons, or moving platforms.

Timely Use of Multiple Switches

In the final stages, you’ll face sections with multiple switches that must be timed in sequence to guide the bubble safely past hazards. Use the glowing path lines on the wall or floor to predict when the bubble will reach each obstacle, and activate the correct switch just before it arrives. Stay positioned between switches to react quickly while keeping the bubble in view.

Time Movements with the Bubble’s Speed

The bubble moves at a steady pace. Learn its speed and synchronize your movements to be in position for switches or obstacles just as it arrives.
