Alright, fellow fashion adventurers, gather 'round! Let me tell you the tale of my most recent obsession in Infinity Nikki: tracking down every last piece of the elusive Carnival Ode outfit. Picture this: I'm wandering through the gorgeous landscapes of Wishfield, minding my own business, when I hear whispers of a rare, super cool outfit hidden in treasure chests. Being the fashion-obsessed explorer I am, I dropped everything. This wasn't just any outfit hunt; this was a full-blown, map-scouring, crate-smashing treasure hunt across Stoneville and the spooky Abandoned District. Seven sketches. Seven hidden chests. One very determined (and slightly clumsy) me. Buckle up, because this guide is born from my triumphs, my fails, and a lot of parkour mishaps.
First things first, let's talk about what we're after. The Carnival Ode is a 3-star set with a primary Cool and Fashion vibe. It's not just pretty; it packs some serious style stats. But to get it, you gotta find all seven sketch pieces, scattered like breadcrumbs left by a fashion-forward squirrel. Here’s my breakdown of the grand scavenger hunt.
The Great Sketch Hunt: A Region-by-Region Breakdown
I decided to tackle this by region to save my virtual feet some walking. Pro-tip: Always have your gliding and smash abilities ready. You'll need them!
📍 The Abandoned District Treasures
This place is all moody skies and forgotten ruins. Perfect for finding cool gear.
- Dawn's Radiance (Hair): This glorious hairpiece was my first find! I warped to the Windrider Mill Top spire. You can't miss the big windmill on the hill. Now, here's where I messed up initially—I looked in front of the windmill like a normal person. Nope. The chest is sneakily tucked behind it on the north side. Just walk all the way around. Easy once you know!
- Dark Night Sky (Headpiece): For this spooky-chic headpiece, head to the Stone Steles warp spire. As soon as you arrive, channel your inner mountain goat and climb the rocks to the southeast. Don't just look in front of the cliffs; peek behind them! There it was, a pink chest hiding like it was playing tag.
- Connected Agate (Necklace): This one felt like a mini-quest! In the Abandoned District, find and activate Handkerchief Milly's Gliding Station. Use the Floating ability to ride the air currents. Follow those handy green guide circles until you see a lonely little stonetree in the middle of the ocean. Land on it (carefully!) and climb to the very top. The chest is sitting there among some ruins, feeling very important.
📍 The Stoneville Scavenger Hunt
Stoneville is brighter but just as tricky. Lots of nooks, crannies, and cliffs to fall off of (I speak from experience).
- Striped Celebration (Top): The map marker for this one in Stoneville is misleading! It points to a cliff-top stonetree, but the chest is actually in the village shadowed below that cliff. Find a house nestled under the cliff face. The chest is behind it, but it's a sneaky devil—hidden under breakable crates. I jumped and smashed my heart out until it appeared!
- Free Will (Pants): Teleport to the Lavenfringe Fields spire in Stoneville. Walk up the main path past the Dye Workshop. When you see the second detached building on your map, head inside. This area is full of wooden rafters and dye vats. Look for a sheltered area in the back. Now, look up! The chest is in the ceiling. Time for some impromptu parkour on the shelves to reach it. My success rate was about 50% before I finally grabbed it. 😅
- Into Midnight (Shoes): Warp to the Flamecrest Stonetree spire. Follow the dirt path until you hit a fork. Go straight, past some houses and villagers. Keep walking until you're on the very edge of the stonetree. Now, be brave and look down over the edge. You'll spot the pink chest on a lower cliff ledge. No jumping required, just a good eye!
- Unnamed Medal (Brooch): Back to the Flamecrest Stonetree spire for this final piece! This one's simple but easy to overlook. Immediately turn around and head down the wooden stairs directly behind the warp spire. You'll see a lone house on this lower level. The chest is tucked right behind the house, squeezed between the wall and the stone. A fittingly humble spot for the final piece!
The Grand Finale: Crafting Carnival Ode 🛠️
Hooray! You've got all seven sketches! But wait... you're not done. Now comes the real grind: gathering the crafting materials. Think of it as the fashion gods' final test. Here's what you'll need to scrounge up:
| Material | Quantity Needed | Primary Source / Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Thread of Purity | 338 | Found throughout Abandoned District & Stoneville. Get looting! |
| Bling | 44,000 | The universal currency. Time to sell some duplicate items! |
| Bedrock: Crystal: Energy | 50 | Boss Drop from the Realm of The Dark. Costs Vital Energy per fight. |
| Various Essences & Feathers | A whole bunch! | Includes Ambird Feather, Pearl Wing, Windbloom, etc. |
Let's talk about that last row. Some of those materials, like Sizzpollen Essence, require you to level up your Collecting ability in the Heart of Infinity. Don't sleep on upgrading your skills! And for the Bedrock: Crystal: Energy, you'll need to be brave and tackle some boss fights in the Realm of The Dark. It's a resource sink, but totally worth it.
So, was it worth the hours of searching, gliding, smashing, and farming? Absolutely. Slapping on the complete Carnival Ode outfit after all that work felt incredible. It's more than just pixels; it's a badge of honor from one of the most fun treasure hunts in the game. Now, if you'll excuse me, I think I heard a rumor about a hidden ballgown in the Cloudscape... the hunt never ends! 👗✨
