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.

Cannons Is Introduced n the Realm

Cannons, introduced conceptually in Stage 4 alongside the fan mechanics, are now fully implemented. They fire projectiles across the bubble’s path, requiring players to strategically use lift platforms to block the shots and ensure the bubble passes safely.

Avoid the Corrupted Orbs

Nikki loses heart when she gets hit by the corrupted orbs, so it's important to avoid their path. These orbs typically travel along the center line of each platform, so try to jump and land near the edges or corners where it's safer. With good timing and positioning, you can make it to the end without taking damage.

Expect Fans on the Way

Aside from the cannons, you will also encounter fans on the way. The key challenge is managing the wind fans that disrupt bubble's path. Disable the fans as the bubble travel following the path in the above image until it reaches the checkpoint on the far left.

Turn Off The Mechanisms In Advance

Be sure to turn off the fan before the bubble arrives as the it will instantly pop if it comes into contact with any airflow. Activate the nearby mechanism to disable the fans in advance. Timing is crucial since the bubble might already be on its way and end up popping mid-flight, causing you to restart the entire sequence.

Check Surroundings for Obstacles

Before proceeding, take a moment to assess the environment and observe the movement paths of the bubble and platforms. Carefully time each jump to land accurately on every pad as you make your way through the area. Early on, activate the central mechanism to disable the fans and as the bubble moves into the next section, make sure to deactivate the nearby cannons to safely clear the way ahead.

Activate Platforms To Create Openings

Certain platforms obstruct the bubble's path. To clear the way, you must stand on top of these platforms to activate them. Once triggered, they will open up, allowing the bubble to continue its journey.

Trigger the Lift Nearest to the Cannon

In the next stage, you'll encounter several lift mechanisms that blocks the incoming corrupted orbs. While multiple options are available, it's best to activate the mechanism closest to the cannon to stop the corrupted orb at its source so that the bubble can pass safely.

Watch Out for Vanishing Platforms Ahead

You’ll come across vanishing platforms once again, acting as a bridge to help you cross to the other side. These platforms follow a specific pattern, and they glow just before they disappear. Be sure to time your steps carefully to avoid falling into the abyss.

Some Obstacles Are Straightforward

Amid the layered mechanics and intense sequences, you'll also encounter simpler obstacles. Not every challenge is complicated, some simply require good timing or quick reflexes to overcome.

Face All Obstacles in the Final Area

The final area brings together every obstacle you've faced so far. You'll encounter a full range of mechanisms, including fans, cannons, lifts that control your access to key areas, and vanishing platforms that test your patience and reflexes.

Apply Everything You Learned So Far

Many obstacles, like cannons and vanishing platforms, follow predictable patterns. Observe carefully before making a move. Wait for the right moment to jump, cross, or trigger mechanisms.
