How to participate in the Kaleidoscope of Lights event
Participation is open to anyone who meets a few mandatory requirements. There’s no need to advance through the Archon quest line yet.
- Reach adventure rank 20;
- Open the Fontaine region and activate a Hydro Archon statue nearby;
- Complete the Archon mission called “Song of Dragon Freedom.”
If Fontaine is already unlocked, the Archon quest steps are done, and the adventure rank is 20, players can head to the Romarin port. The job log (key “J” on PC) can be opened and the button “Follow Goal” can be pressed. The marker will guide players to a man named Kisan, who speaks with the Gendarme.
The event runs for a limited time and ends on the set date announced by the game.
Event Rules
The event offers eight stages in total: seven main stages and one bonus stage. Each new stage unlocks 24 hours after the previous one. As of now, the first stage is available.
To begin, players must reach a designated area to start the jellyfish collection challenge. Markers appear near teleporters, so exploring Fontaine is helpful. In each section, the guide explains how to reach the area quickly.
When the challenge starts, fluorescent jellyfish appear. Following them is the way to collect the maximum number. Leaving the staging area on the mini-map causes the test to fail.
Turbulence rings and turbulent bubbles may appear in the collection area to boost swimming speed. This is useful in stages where time is a factor.
Assembly area 1
Use the underwater valley of Talat teleport, north of Cour de Fontaine. If this teleport isn’t open yet, travel to a nearby fast travel point and swim there.
There is no timer limiting jellyfish collection at this stage, so there are no special time-related issues. Simply follow the jellyfish and stay inside the staging area.
- Source stones (60);
- Mora (60,000);
- Hero experience (4).
Assembly area 2
Updates will be provided as the stage becomes available.
- Source stones (60);
- Song of the echo of an old string (3);
- Magic Reinforcement Ore (6).
