The Gifties Are Back: Our Take on the Wanxiang Hunt

For those of us who appreciate a good collection challenge, the return of the 'Where are the Gifties?' activity in Infinity Nikki's 2.2 update is a welcome sight. Found within the 'Time to Collect' section of your Events menu, this isn't your standard fetch quest. Unlike last season's 'Forest Frolic' challenge, which focused on broader objectives, 'Where are the Gifties?' hones in on the quintessential hide-and-seek experience.

As veteran gamers, we know the devil is in the details, and the Gifties challenge is no different. Each elusive Gifty has a unique visual signature tied to its hiding spot, meaning you need to keep your eyes peeled for those subtle environmental cues. But it’s not just about sight; sound plays a critical role. When you're in proximity, listen closely for their distinct "Gifty-style voice" – a tell-tale sign that you’re hot on their trail. Once located, a simple 'Investigate' prompt confirms your find, marking an entry complete and showering you with those sweet Diamonds, Shiny Bubbles, Shining Particles, and Glimmer Threads. And for the dedicated hunters, collecting all eight nabs you a tidy bonus of 80 Diamonds – a nice little incentive for those seeking to maximize their in-game currency!

Navigating Wanxiang: All 2.2 Gifty Solutions

Wanxiang is a sprawling new area, packed with vibrant sights and celebrations, but those eight little Gifties are expertly tucked away. Our team has scoured every nook and cranny to bring you the definitive guide. Remember to claim that 80 Diamond bonus once you've checked off every single one!

01 - Listening to Records

Your first Gifty awaits right in the bustling Cai Ye Market, where your journey into Wanxiang typically begins. Stick to the central path winding through the market, and you'll find this Gifty chilling on the side of a building, off to your right.

02 - Echowood's Audience

Head to the far right of Wanxiang's southern region, into Deep Valley Spring. If you've got the warp spire unlocked, use it! Otherwise, it’s a scenic trek east through the canyons to the hot springs. Once there, follow the path west until you spot a prominent tall boulder near the cliff edge. The Gifty is patiently waiting on its side.

03 - Jiuhua's Warden

This Gifty is keeping watch at the Jiuhua Penitentiary perimeter, just north of Cai Ye. You can follow the main path north from Cai Ye Market, or if you're efficient, teleport to either the Cai Ye Outskirts or Jiuhua Penitentiary warp spires. Upon arrival, make for the main entrance on the west side of the complex; the Gifty is nestled on the wall to the right of the entrance.

04 - Echoes of Old Pavilion

Journey to the south side of Wanxiang, into Dazzlebloom Meadow. Follow the primary path down through the meadow from its western entrance until you reach the Dazzlebloom Meadow warp spire. Look to your right, and you’ll find this Gifty on the side of a small cliff, right near the spire.

05 - Lantern-Lit Night

Back to Cai Ye Market for this one! Locate the area adorned with multiple lines of brightly-lit lanterns. This Gifty is cunningly placed on the wall to the right of the very first row of those illuminating lanterns.

06 - Flavors in a Dream

Prepare for a slight detour! This Gifty is in the far south of Jiuhua Pavilion, specifically at Wangyou Tower. Critical heads-up: You need to have started Chapter 2 of the main story and embarked on the 'Behind the Mask' exclusive quest to even access this area. Once you're in, step into the dining hall on the right side of Wangyou Tower. Weave your way behind the screen at the back of the room, and there it is – on the center panel.

07 - Joyous Sound of Music

Another Gifty hidden within Jiuhua Pavilion, located in the bottom-right section of the Wanxiang Realm. Again, ensure you've commenced Chapter 2 of the main story with the 'Behind the Mask' exclusive quest. When you're in, proceed to Caiyue Hall on the right side and step onto the stage opposite the plaza. The Gifty is on the inner wall, to the left side of the stage itself.

08 - A Stunning Dance

The final Gifty is deeper within Jiuhua Pavilion, on the south side of the Banquet of Bliss. You guessed it: Chapter 2 and the 'Behind the Mask' exclusive quest are mandatory to reach this spot. Once there, go behind the deck where various locals are enjoying their meals. Continue past the back room, and once outside near a lilypad pond, you'll spot this Gifty on the exterior wall to the left.
