Infinity Nikki features many legendary creatures, some quest-related, others hidden, demanding thorough exploration. Examples include the Dawn Fox, Tulletail, Bullquet, and the Astral Swan.

Acquiring the Astral Feather from the Astral Swan is possible even without the associated quest, "Soaring Above the Starry Sky," but the quest provides additional context.

Soaring Above the Starry Sky Quest in Infinity Nikki

To begin, locate the Stellar Fishing Ground Peak Warp Spire and interact with Curious Pinny. The quest directs you to Lensie's house (easily found using the in-game map tracker). Next, you must groom the Astral Swan, equip the Floral Gliding outfit, and fly with it.

Post-flight, the quest continues:

1. Return to Pinny and Lensie.
2. Find Elron in Stoneville.

Grooming the Astral Swan in Infinity Nikki

Grooming is simple: use the Bye-Bye Dust or a similar grooming Ability Outfit on the Swan. This also yields the Astral Feather.

Equipping the Floral Gliding Outfit in Infinity Nikki

Equip the Floral Gliding Ability Outfit to enable flight. For reliability, change to this outfit set directly from your wardrobe.

Flying with the Astral Swan in Infinity Nikki

Activate the Floral Gliding outfit near the Astral Swan to initiate a cutscene. To successfully complete the flight, maintain proximity to the Swan and avoid drifting.

During the flight, press the "Soar" button when prompted. Upon the Swan's return, don't deactivate the Floral Gliding outfit until the Swan fully lands. Prematurely ending the flight will prevent quest progression. A successful flight advances the quest.
