How do I groom Infinity Nikki animals?
In order to groom animals in Infinity Nikki, you first need to unlock and craft the animal grooming ability outfit, Bye-Bye Dust. Luckily, you unlock this outfit during the first chapter of the main story quest, meaning you get access to it shortly after arriving in Florawish.
After unlocking Bye-Bye Dust, you can equip the animal-grooming ability to your ability wheel to easily switch between it and your other ability outfits. With this equipped, hold down the ability button to stealthily approach an animal. When the brush icon appears above the animal’s head, you can release the button to start grooming.
Note that some animals are wary of humans, and may run away if you don’t sneak up on them, while others are very friendly and you can run straight up to them. There are also some animals that require you to complete an additional step before they’ll allow you to groom them. For example, if you want to groom a bullquet, you must first catch the bugs around its horns to calm it.
How do I get Infinity Nikki animal material essence?
In addition to their base material, some animals also provide essence, which you need in order to craft certain sketches. In order to obtain animal material essence, you first need to upgrade the animal-grooming ability through the Heart of Infinity skill tree.
There are three different nodes that allow you to obtain animal-grooming essence in different parts of Miraland, each of which costs animal-grooming insight, bling, and whimstars – however, you need to unlock them in order. Once you unlock the specific nodes in the Heart of Infinity, you can then obtain essence when grooming animals in the corresponding areas.
How do I track Infinity Nikki animals?
After you’ve groomed an animal for the first time, you can then track that animal through the in-game map. You can do this by opening your map, selecting the book icon in the bottom-left corner of the screen, heading to the tab with the paw print icon, and finding the animal material you wish to track in the list. You then simply need to hit the ‘track’ button, and the game will highlight the nearest location on your map.
The highlighted location then appears on both your main map and your minimap. When you groom all the corresponding animals in the highlighted area, the game continues to highlight different locations until you’ve groomed them all. If you want to cancel tracking, you can open the map and hit the ‘x’ button next to the tracking message.
How do I unlock precise tracking for Infinity Nikki animals?
After you’ve groomed a specific animal a certain amount of times, you can unlock precise tracking. Instead of highlighting a general area, precise tracking shows you the exact location of the animal you’re tracking, making it much easier to hunt them down.
In order to unlock precise tracking for Infinity Nikki animals, you need to collect either ten, 30, or 50 of their materials, depending on the animal and the quality of their material. You can check your progress at any time by heading to the in-game map, opening the collections book, selecting the animal material, and checking the number at the bottom of the window.
