The Mysterious Presence questline in Aniimo tasks players with locating nine Voxel Cubes scattered throughout Astra, culminating in a challenging boss encounter. While the quest log may not always provide clear markers, this guide details how to initiate and complete the quest.
Unlocking the Mysterious Presence Quest
To begin, players must travel to the city of Astra. Upon arriving, navigate to Horizon Square, the game's central market area. Locate the Chill Beanz Cafe on the lower level. Interacting with a glitching sign outside the cafe will spawn the first Voxel Cube nearby, initiating the quest.
After collecting the initial cube, players will be directed to speak with Dr. Bohr at the Polaris Institute. He will then instruct them to find Nova in the Holo Lab, also located upstairs at the Institute.
Locating the Voxel Cubes
Players need to collect a total of nine Voxel Cubes, found by solving puzzles in Horizon Square.
- Cube One: Acquired automatically upon interacting with the glitching sign at Chill Beanz Cafe.
- Cube Two: Located above the Chill Beanz Cafe on the upper level, accessible after solving a slider puzzle near the Mementos gift shop. Turn around after solving the puzzle to find the cube.
- Cube Three: Found near the See Saw on the lower floor, just to the right of Chill Beanz. Use the See Saw with your Aniimo companion to fill a meter, which spawns a cube behind it.
Nova will contact the player after the third cube is collected and direct them back to the Polaris Institute. She will then send them to find more cubes.
- Cube Four: Head back towards Chill Beanz Cafe and find Jiff at the top of the Super Claw. Investigate a platform he indicates to spawn a cube on the ground below.
- Cube Five: On the rooftop near Jiff, a large swing set can be used. Similar to the See Saw, building momentum on the swing will fill a bar and unlock a Voxel Cube.
- Cube Six: This cube is obtained by completing a number puzzle on Chill Street, near the ice cream stand and the teleport hub. Players must run along a sequence of eight colored numbers in order from one to eight.
Nova will then mark the remaining cubes on the map.
- Cube Seven: Located in the northside of Horizon Square with Judy and her musical Aniimo friends. Solve the music puzzle by interacting with the Aniimos in the correct sequence: Chirpi ("Hey"), Tromber ("Hey, hey"), and Cornet ("Hey, hey, hey, hey").
- Cube Eight: Found outside the Starwish Gatcha, marked by another glitching sign. Solve the slider puzzle to obtain the cube.
- Cube Nine: Situated just outside the Chill Beanz cafe entrance, to the left. This involves another number sequence puzzle where players must walk across eight colored numbers in order.
The Voxelic Boss Fight
With all nine Voxel Cubes collected, return to Nova in the Holo Lab at the Polaris Institute. The gathered cubes will activate a portal, initiating a boss fight with three distinct phases: Water, Ice, and Dark. Upon defeating the boss, the quest concludes after reading data chips and completing dialogue with Nova, Dr. Bohr, and Professor Oswen. Rewards include Voxel coins, Glimmer, and credits.
