did you explore around CT to collect the saplings?
||is she supposed to look like the other Island spirit in the mini map?||
||i also have this dream still floating around||
yeah its weird, i also wanted
||to get a CIty Town outfit, since they hang around the city a lot too||
Kinda curious. Who’s maxed out their imaginary cafe already?? I’m half way there (Lv 16)
i slowed down since some switch players are getting softlocked with some of the quests and we also have an update coming for nintendo (we don't know yet when it is coming out)
I'm close but I'll hit my limit before I reach next level
I should finish it today I think, lvl 34 and didn't open cafe today
Maxed it out today.
Oh really! I’m not caught up with updates 😂
i'm chronically online 😂😂
🥳 hope you max it out today!
I wish I was! I’m stuck studying to be an educator assistant and never have time to just sit down and catch up 😂
yes i just didnt know i had to plant em in the small beds
Just got softlocked by ||last but not least bcs i didnt know inspo buddies was supposed to be first|| AAA 😭
the quest unlock this should appear tomorrow at the earliest depending on when you completed the piano plush pals quest
It will appear 7 days after completing piano plush pals
this should be fixed in the next update (hopefully): https://discord.com/channels/1105575633943277629/1490179553941786814
in the meantime you can try getting a Colorpillar Plush Pal from Multiplayer to see if it solves the softlock issue 
that's the thing no one has the item right now (for switch players at least) i think the earliest we get it it will be tomorrow
not even is gonna be on saturday the quest after inspo buddies needs a reset too
I have them on my PC save! are you 100% sure no one has it on Switch at all?
the 7 day requirement is likely outdated information (on the wiki) and we've been trying to figure out the exact amount of days it takes to unlock Inspo Buddies for a bit now
so far findings are:
- 4/19 -> first plush pal / 4/23 -> wait until tomorrow for Inspo Buddies
- 4/17 -> first plush pal / 4/20 -> wait until tomorrow for Inspo Buddies
switch players are on 2.14.1 version you guys are on 2.15 version...
the 2.15 got that quest fixed i suspect since i am seeing steam players already at the final quests
ohh i see, that explains it 😭 very unfortunate in that case
it's inspo buddies, reset, city town plush pals so the earliest we can get it will be on saturday
Nintendo's approval process is really unforgiving :c
praying that the update will come soon 🙏🏻🙏🏻
They got to test patches before they approve it.
yeah but a week or 2 seems a bit much
I think the worst part for me is that this makes usahana unavailable so I cant use her ability 😭
||NOOOO! Is kirimi-chan gonna be fine? ;_;||
whoever made that character definetely has a toddler 😂
Thanks for posting this and saving me from myself 💕
imagine getting locked twice!
Yeah definitely save yourself this isnt fun 💔
i don't wish this to anyone
I can be patient at least but man
are you on swictch 1? if no update comes this week we can try to solve it through multiplayer on saturday
Switch 2
Panya's first quest is supposed to be "make mochi" but it just completed itself when i opened the collection box next to the nul... i haven't even been to CT yet today 🤔
open a bug to notify the team
Ugh I wish I had read this before doing my quest. I can't use Usahana now cause she is busy due to that soft lock. I know it unlocks tomorrow but I really wanted to make food today
here @finite totem https://discord.com/channels/1105575633943277629/1402379905613959309
it did the same to me this morning
we are not sure if it will unlock tomorrow since MSP will be busy to do the quest
I guess I will just do my gathering and skip doing the Cafe today cause its so much better wjth companions
Oh no. I didn't consider that...
meaning the quest will appear but MSP will be busy to start it because she is needed on the other quest
I think we have to wait for a savior in multiplayer 😔
still keeping my hopes up the update will come this week
Maybe they can mail everyone 1 ||colorpillar|| plush
im begging for that rn
Same... I just want to run my café and turn my brain off later
I dont like playing multiplayer in games so ive avoided it until now 😭
They were saying "sometime this week" for the Switch update when everyone was getting softlocked on Made With Love last week, so 🤞🤞 for the update soon. ✨️🗓
I wish Nintendo didnt take so long to approve things...
I am gonna take a break for right now and see if there is an update later. I am just bummed
Are you all caught up in the game? You could work on something else you've been putting off for awhile. Not really a solution, but at least it'll give you something to do in the meantime. 🫤
For the most part. I got my daily gathering but all other quests are done. Its ok though. Just gonna take a nap for now
For the switch players that are not locked DO NOT COMPLETE the Detour Distractions quest to avoid being locked for the time being
Noted 🫡
wish i’d read this thread before getting soft locked 😭
Once again sorry to all in the softlock and grateful for the warnings. I'll be able to avoid this now today.
Hey is there an option to see which figments youve collected already?
I cant find the last number
i think there is a|| Nul that tells you that they are on the grass to the left of rainbow tower||
Yeah they said i have 33/40 but i mean which specific numbers
oh no i don't think the game is able to tell you but the wiki can 🙂
Ty
click on the type of figment and you will get the list
Time to search 40 locations
For the switch players that are not locked DO NOT COMPLETE the Detour Distractions quest to avoid being locked for the time being
sad bc that means i can’t use usahana for her ||reimagine ability|| either until the softlock is fixed
Im really sorry if this breaks the rules but it is quite upsetting that weve paid 25 dollars to get softlocked twice basically
Maybe in the completed quests list ? If it’s the hungry figments they appeared as quests
I already checked a few times but they don’t show up😅
Oh 🥲
uh, help! I'm so confused ;_;
Something funky is going on
Found it!
Number 39
And yes i am aware that i cant complete some yet but ive written those down in a note
so, I cooked 2 more seafood and 2 more rolls and now it shows up as if I had so much more?
you need more quantities?
did you use Usahana for this?
she usually gives more
still unable to give anything for the quest
no, she is unavailable, probably because of the quest im doing
can you try resetting the game and try to regift him the food?
I tried it, didn't work
like huh? theres so much weirdness going on, why can't I gift? why does ||kirimi-chan|| show up instead of the food icon? why does the nr go up like 40 when I cook 1?
All 10 of the items you're trying to give need to be the same type
ooh,mmm Ill try that!
you took a crab also this is a different type of nigiri
you have seafood crab and fish types
yeah, I didn't knew which I had to cook so I just kept making the wrong one 
think that might confused the game abit
For me I had issues because I had 2 different sources of ||seafood I used urchins and shrimps but you should use the same ||
YES! now it makes a lot of sense thank you! All 10 should be the same to be able to give, game probably checks all ||nigiri in inventory after I craft or something||
For no good reason I just thought it would work ||like giving items to the spire since I just did that recently xD||
||3 of these are all the exact same combinations, just different fish. They all share the same name ;_;||
Yes I know thats so stupid. Also sometimes in past quests independently of the dlc if I had the same items but with different recipes they didn‘t count together
yeah
but were kinda used to always working. Like for baking, you can use either recipe, you always get the same item and they all stack nicely
think thats why the game counting freaks out in the quest menu. To get a little 👆🤓 , the game seems to check if you have the item for the quest, when it finds the item, it checks the quantity and stops. But on other occasions, it keeps checking after finding the item name and finds the other duplicates
being soft locked in the last, but not least quest also means i can’t use tuxedosam’s negotiator ability at the event stand or any of the shops 😭
at least youre not alone in your pain, I messed up too 💔
Heh,
mentioned ||opening an arcade|| before I even had the quest ||to unlock it||.
||ENG text: My dad raised me on pinball, so of course I opened my own arcade.||
Y’all am I tripping or is the last but not least quest stuck ?
It is. It opens up before you can get the item to complete it from a quest that's not available till tomorrow or Saturday I believe.
And due to the soft lock the only fix is for the update to go through or a ||colorpillar|| to be sent out via mail / obtained in multiplayer when some people have it
i'm still catching up so idk if this was answered. but it's not a bug if milk collected for you. Panya gives you mochi
Ahhh I see thank you !
Thank you! I was equally confused when Dango Tango was completed for me today right off the bat, but that will have been it.
they have to be the same ingredients because they make different colors on the item so they stack differently
you have to be very specific when making the city town stuff if you want all your items to be identical. Same exact ingredients, same order
Which game is the fastest way to get tickets in the arcade?
Mail Time in hard mode is 600ish tickets if you do well
Second the recommendation for Mail Time on hard, with the added suggestions that time matters (ideally you will get it with 18 second left on the clock), and you only need three matching stickers on hard for it to count. So you don’t need to count all the items; if you see three that work, deliver to that biome.
am i crazy or is the ||outfit tuxedo sam made for chococat..ugly||
I think there's something wrong with the colors. I reported it. It does not match what it used to look like OR the icon at his outfits
it used to be pink
i just feel like it’s very.. not fitting, the whole style is not cute imo
but yes the colours do look very off too
oh my...
tbh i had an order yesterday for ||Wasabi Taiyaki||... terrible
yours is worse
idk, ||wasabi|| is pretty bad.
I stop looking at the perfumes, they have weird tastes 🤣
Most of them, some are classic

Sunblink must have a Final Fantasy IX fan among its employees. Moppu mentions "Last Legend IX". In City Town, beyond the fog...
Has anyone got a spare colourpiler plush I could have please I’m on switch 2 I soft locked myself🤦🏻♀️
My characters want to combine || wasabi with strawberries ||
Imaginary food is delicious no matter the flavor.
I have made a little song I now sing in my head.
Gross 🤢
Just a heads up this is known on our end! Thank you
I love this LOL
Truly I just have to think of it like the food in Hook.
How's your day been ktroma?
Great! I’m making my way though City Town again on my PC save. It’s soooo nice not to have to wait between updates
At least this time around I know to prepare my tissues in advance for the final quests
Huh... i thought milk wasn't supposed to collect from visitors who aren't residents yet, panya was visiting for the first time today, so i had no idea what her gift even was (i did go and talk to her and also the pig last week and was surprised they didn't give me anything.. apparently milk got to them before me... i really wish milk gave me a full list of what he collects for these reasons tbh)
Nope. Milk collects from all visitors on the island that day
It’s a lot of work to get Milk, but he’s worth the effort.
IM SORRY WHAT
Huh... then why did cinnamoroll say this:
To fool you?
Rude 😂
Why does Batdz-Maru lie about which lures will attract fish near where you’re standing when you ask him?
POOR KERROPI awwww
does anyone know if there is a ||figurine|| spreadsheet and if yes could you like it for me? 🥹🫶
hes MORTIFIED
Honestly i hate fishing in this game so much i didn't even know he did that, but in his case i guess it's in character... cinnamoroll not so much
or a photo checklist that might be even better
Cookie-Chan has them on hers: https://discord.com/channels/1105575633943277629/1319409881052217476
tyyy :)
I think sometimes those dialogue bits are written before the details are fully fleshed out. There are other times when it happens too.
Like i only fish if a quest forces me to do it and i really don't like using/making lures especially 😂
I think possibly i still havent caught every type of fish from the main game (especially not every size)
TEEHEHE
Me when I have no more boba
lol sameeee
at least now with the music disc shop you should be able to get around fishing for the music discs
at least if you use multiplayer
I don't like multiplayer either, but tbh I'm not a completionist about the music discs either
I wish we could get to keep this guy wandering around, he's adorable
I’ve been missing a single fish in Seaside Resort for over a year now. At various times I’ve gone back and recaught the rarer ones (lots of times, because people often struggle with those and I’m helping them), and it wasn’t any of them. Can’t imagine which it is.
I want the giant crowbert to be wandering around my City Town all the time.
REVENGE
... that you can pet
wonderful the city has giant rodents now
And to become as a critter wand!
I don’t want those guys wandering around my City Town
||God, Help me and Keroppi!||
||Its Time to Defend City Town! More like Defenders of the City Town!||
yeeeesss
i sort of wish that the prize was higher for that game on hard mode
I like that game the most, but it can't beat Mail Time for Tickets
ooooo i havent unlocked the other machines yet im soooo excited
currently enjoying whatever this thing is
Same. The pipes game doesn’t have the time pressure and is mentally challenging, but I don’t want to spend that much time for a measly 100 tickets or whatever you get.
Go put them in a cabin so you can see the figures up close! Some of them are really cool, especially the gudetama ones.
ooooooooooo
ya! actually playing it now! I felt scammed after this xD
@velvet juniper hello 👋😊
So .. thank u again for l ur previous help.
however,
I have landed on the task: ClTYLAZE
And wouldn't we know it , a Pochacco task . And yes there is yet another run and he is attached to me and yes !!!!!! The ZL button doesn't work!!!! Like why tho? .. again? I will never forget tasks with him in it again! It's the same thing as before and you just fixed it!!!!! After 6 months!!!! Now from what I see I have the option of starting other tasks. I am stuck with this one though . Why is it always with Pochacco? The ZL worked with all other characters so far . It's just him again !!!! .. please help .
It is weird that it’s only happens to you. Closing and opening your game didn’t fix it?
This DLC got so much Kirby vibes
Unfortunately no. I am not the only person with Pochacco issues. No. I may be one to have consistent issues and list them here though. Folks in my household have them . Others I communicate with .. some, do as well. Not all in the same way. They do not all dwell the rooms of discord lol . Thing is ZL works with other characters. Since fixed it. Very well. Just again with this lil one , it's like my own personal challenge with this lil character.
Fecto Squeakilius.
I am agreeing with Badz on his fear of these critters
I thing image fell off
I love the pipes game its so much fun
Don’t you find yourself yelling “Noooooo… Undo undo!” when you accidentally turn one?
Actually not
Lucky!
ive been in this ||arcade|| for wayyy to long, i will NOT STOP until i have ||EVERY FIGURINE||
fr and lucky star works really well ⭐
😅
It will never loop 🥹
omg hiiii cici!
YOU FIXED IT! (Imagine I was actually stuck in there for an hour)
Just remember they’re all made with the same algorithm, there will never be a loop (sadly) 🥹
oooh! thats what you mean! thank you thats good info 😄
I hope they’ll update that though, will make it a bit more difficult - and they could give more tickets too 🙂↕️
You may indeed wish to stop before you have ||every|| figurine, since there are ||three that don’t seem to be in the game yet.||
oh yes i did account for those ❤️
yea! didn't think it would be a bug tho
Not a bug just how it’s coded 🫣
I gotta say, didn't have much of a problem, but I actually been stuck on the same puzzle for like 5 mins somehow xD
oh ok, I get what you mean then
would be embaracing if gave up xD
Just try to do the borders first, and remember no loops , should be easier then 🫶
theres some wacky loopty loops on this one xD
shiny SHINYYYY
are those rarer? 😮
Yes.
i guess it doesnt like the left bit
Mind your language 👀
yes, thats what happened to me too xD
I’ll fix it for you but no swearing 🫶
yes. there are regular figures, uncommon figures (have a gold base) and shiny figures.
Using a Lucky Star will increase the odds of Uncommon and Shinys
The bottom probably should change a bit too but see if you figure it out 🫶
okay solved it 😭 heres where I was at in case you're curious
oh no, thats where I was stuck
Ohhhh
just showing what I could not figure out
I understand!
I kinda wanna play some too now but it’s so late
We start early tomorrow too 🫣
just... just one more xD
🤣
I barely have time to check my flowers these days, I rush through when I get some time 😭
https://hellokittyislandadventure.wiki.gg/wiki/Into_the_Fog,_Again any reason this wiki page barely has any info on it (I was looking through the list of quests trying to find out how to unlock some of the quests in my list, but this one... has a single sentence that is missing several words as well)
big brain ktroma 🧠
I've managed to collect enough sherbert crates to unlock four floors in the rainbow tower, so now I'm just decorating cabins for Usahana's friends while I actually have time to
basically you want everything to connect with no open bits
I usually start at the outside and with the long straight pieces
also why is no one spoiler tagging their screenshots anymore, I'm not even close to unlocking the arcade
i've figured a way to solve them pretty much perfect every single time
focus on corners and edges first
oh, dont get me wrong, I think I got the hang of it, but for some reason on that puzzle my brain just said nah, and left me alone
Sorry, thought I clicked it 😢
I’m eagerly waiting for you to get it so you can help us figuring out the scoring on one of the games!
sorry! my bad ;_;
it's all good, I didn't look closely at them so I won't remember by the time I get to them myself, but I just came to this thread to ask an unrelated question about the wiki and saw 2 screenshots lol 👀
well idk how much help I could be with that lol, also I just found out I'm currently at the start of a line of quests that all have a "wait till tomorrow" mechanism to unlock the next one (I did talent time today... so tomorrow I can do playing tourist... and then another one the day after etc etc.. a lot of other quests all come after that line of quests)
You were very helpful with Icebreaker scoring!
I think the earliest you could unlock this quest was today and only if you were playing from like day one
i can maybe answer your wiki question
so it's possible people who take care of the wiki still have to get onto it
ahh okay, I just looked at the page because that one did get added to my list, but it's locked so I was wondering what the requirements were... but it'll probably be a while away for me bc I'm quite behind
i figured out part of the requirements today
For What
for the "into the fog, again" quest
Yes
you need to finish Last, but Not Least. For the arcade bits - I'm not sure if you need to finish Talk of the Town or Speed Runner
my gut says Speed Runner
Those quests unlock the day before the chain with ||Last but not Least||
so I'd need someone to hold off a day on doing them
I've been going through the quest pages as I do them again - I just did that one today
I have no idea when I'll unlock either of those quests, but I don't always do all the quests the day I unlock them if I get a lot of them at once and I don't have that much time to play etc... so I'm already kind of behind on everything bc of that :')... I wouldn't mind deliberately holding off on those if I remember when I get to them... unless you already figure it out before I get the chance to
where are you quest wise?
I did talent time today, so have to wait to tomorrow for playing tourist... I think on saturday I'll unlock a whole bunch of quests from what I can tell
not sure if I can finish all of those that day depends how long they take to complete
By Which Way
?
you mean unlocking quests on saturday? doing playing tourist tomorrow should unlock washed in for me the next day and that quest unlocks cake-tastrophe and that one unlocks yet another quest etc etc.. I think there's no more "wait a day" requirements for those
Yes
I do already have my cafe on level... idk 17 or 18?
yep I think your math is correct. if the update for switch has not gone through - don't start Last but Not Least until after you do City Town Plush Pals
does anyone know if the treasure of the day changes daily? (sounds like a silly question i know but want to be 100% sure lol)
It does!
oooo thats good to know thankyou!
yes it changes daily. There are ||4 selections every day||. Choosing Treasure of the Day gives ||3 figures for every 50 tickets spent||
Choosing ||Wild Tumble|| gives ||one random figure||
You can select them over and over
ive been ||wild tumbling|| so far, to narrow my list down, then when i have 50-60% of them all, i'll start|| treasure of the day|| to get the specifics im missing ❤️
oh - i went with the other plan. Wait for them to be an option in ||treasure of the day|| and just kept pulling til I got all of that character. Then I did the next.
Using lucky stars it only takes a few pulls to get all of them per character.
Saves a lot of tickets
OMG I FORGOT LUCKY STARS
THANK YOU
While you're pulling if you see any of these - we still need screenshots for the wiki (the prize win screen)
You can post them here - https://discord.com/channels/1105575633943277629/1349071606445772880
has there been a checklist made for the figures yet? I know on the wiki they tried to include checkboxes when they could
Cookiechan has one
thank you!
so I wrote down on paper which quests unlock which other ones and which require waiting for the next reset and if I did every available quest every day from this point onwards (which I might not bc I don't always have endless time to play), then the earliest I'll get detour distractions/last but not least would be monday... and honestly I'm not entirely sure when I opened MSP's store this week.. it wasn't yesterday and I think also not the day before, so it might have been monday? so it's possible I would also get the inspo buddies quest that same day.. I put a warning on my sheet to not do those two quests until AFTER I've done the inspo buddies/city town plush pals ones... but I might not even have to wait a day for those to become available for me... (especially if I don't get around to all the quests I could do on saturday or sunday and set myself back another day)
||Poor Usahana again!||
omg hiiii! DONT LOOK IF YOU DONT WANNA SPOIL
Is it not a good idea to do the red box today? I unlock inspo buddies tomorrow
huh? I physically cannot do those quests today bc I still need to do all those other quests on the list first and a bunch of them require waiting a day so.... but even if I could you HAVE to do inspo buddies and city town plush pals BEFORE the quests I put a red box around to avoid getting soft locked
do i get soft locked if i START detour distraction or COMPLETE it. i accidentally started it while i was zoned out and asking if a force quit is necessary since i haven’t saved the game process yet
I think the one that actually soft locks you is the quest after detour distractions, but not 100% sure on that
so I think if you just don't finish this one or at LEAST don't start the one after that you should be fine?
okay ty!!
like the one after requires a plushie you cannot get yet unless you've done inspo buddies and city town plush pals
and it also holds up a bunch of the characters so they're all busy and can't be your companion etc
idk if detour distraction also does that or not (like you can see on my list I'm personally a LONG way away from getting to either of those quests)
it looks like tuxedosam and keroppi are the only ones busy for the detour distraction so i think it’s safe to start it! just not finish it maybe
do you know when you opened MSP's plushie store? bc the inspo buddies should unlock 7 days after that if I understand it correctly
you should be fine with detour distraction. the item you need for Last but Not Least is locked until the quest City Town Plush Pals is finished
So I should not finish Last but not least today?
You should not start it - only on switch
i accidenly started it
aaccidentally
But haven't given the stuff they need
i can’t remember when i opened the store but i’ve done all the quests available every day since the dlc dropped so im assuming it’ll be very soon
so i should be okay if I don't contuine?
you will not be able to finish the quest. you can do as much of it as you can but you will reach a place where you can't get the item
Let me see if i can explain this without a ton of spoilers
okay so I can wait until saturday to finish this one
I saw the wiki
so i know i can't create the plush to finish this quest
Just got to level 1 of the cafe! It’s more fun than I expected
Currently on Switch (not any other platform)
- Inspo Buddies unlocks 7 days after you finished Piano Plush Pals.
- City Town Plush Pals unlocks the next day (maybe that day - it depends if this was changed in your version)
An item unlocked through City Town Plush Pals is needs to complete Last but Not Least. If you start Last but Not Least you will not be able to start Inspo Buddies or Piano Plush Pals because the characters are the same.
This softlock has been reported and is being looked at now.
Yes
I forget, is there a limit on how many cafe orders we can do in a day?
Um if I've started Last, But Not Least, and haven't completed Inspo Buddies, does that mean I'm softlocked until something fixes it now?
maybe. it might be fixable in multiplayer once people who don't have it locked get the item
Never mind just read the message above
When
I guess I'll wait now!
Wait For What
100
mine was definitely correct today but that's weird it auto completed on your end 🤔 wonder if it's a version issue (?)
||haven't done anything though will I be okay?||
Which Console Is It
I think once its started the characters will still be locked 🙁
it's because of Milk. If you collect with milk it completes this task because panya gives you mochi
it's kinda funny panya completes her own quest for you that way
I just got confused bc milk doesn't give you a full list of what he collects so I had no idea mochi was one of the items
ohh! that's funny 
@solemn goblet btw I think the earliest I could complete "best fashion forever" would be sunday, but if I run out of time before I get to that quest it could also be monday.. but I'm willing to deliberately hold off on doing "talk of the town" until after I manage to do last but not least (without getting soft locked) so we can find out if that one unlocks "into the fog again" or if it's speed runner... I think that was what you still needed to figure out for the wiki, right?
Awesome, thanks
I only asked because I have four or five City Town quests on the list right now, but I wanted to try and do Above and Below before I tried any others
She’s also determined that cancelling an order doesn’t mean you then can only do 99. You can do 100 actual orders.
Just found out you get an extra quest if you have both City Town and Wheatflour Wonderland
the extra daily quest is just because of WW, it's always a quest related to WW characters/features as well :)
and I think CT does add an extra weekly quest though
is she ok omg
Everything is good with coffee. ☕
Coffee Is Delicious
tbh sounds like something my husband would order lol
Yes That Is Right
I think I found another soft locked until I get a help by with the multiplayer
😶🌫️
just need a ||colourpillar|| in order to continue
Many players are in your situation. Sunblink noted it today.
so we're getting another apologize note?...
There should be an update coming out next week that will fix some of these. We're not sure about that one; if that hotfix doesn't unblock the quest, you might get a colorpillar in the mail. Some people should start getting them Saturday, so multiplayer may also be an option.
I just wish we got a plush sent in the mail... its the first night since I started playing I haven't felt much of a desire to play or gather anything cause I can't help feel bummed
Give them some time to figure out what to do.
My wife plays on steam and I envy her right now...
Too bad she can't gift you on on Switch! 🙁
2 Soft Blocks in the first week make me feel a certain way. 😭 Waiting a week for a solution is definitely not what I asked for after paying 25.00 for the pleasure of being stuck. Twice.
New things often have bugs. It's the price of being an early adopter.
It is sad though. I hope a solution is found soon.
at least it's easier than the first one cause you just need to customize colorpillar
so multiplayer is available
Yes How Did You Know About That
Its still annoying because half the cast are unavailable as followers until a solution is done 😭 which could be days
i keep having to remind myself that this DLC is a year's worth of content all at once, otherwise i'd feel so overwhelmed
Yes
Good Things Come For Those Who Wait
understood
Yes
please ping me when the update or mail is out
Okay
at the moment i do feel overwhelmed because of having to level friendship with Usahana and a ricking building🤣
TY!
Np
wait, are we not meant to max out the cafe yet ???
I’m so confused which order we need to do the quests to avoid the second soft lock 😅
I walked straight into that trap. Is tomorrow the soonest switch users would be able to trade for a caterpillar plush?
I think they said Saturday, because there is a wait a day quest. TBH I thought they didn’t do those anymore..
They should just send everyone a plush like they did the recipe which also got me
I agree. I got stuck on them both as well.
It’s upsetting. Given the hour I doubt we’ll see a resolution today.
There are still some. Just many fewer than there were before.
hold up, I’m now lost - pls could somebody clarify the order of quests to do to avoid another soft lock (this time I’m assuming it’s called “Detour Distractions” ???) + also why we shouldn’t max out the cafe [if it hasn’t been done so already] 🙏 😅
👌 The spacing on these quests are now making sense. Some of them were probably wait a day at one time.
Most of those quests were doled out to Arcade in dribs and drabs over two years. The path you are taking has been quite different!
I do not understand it completely either. I saw someone posting about it in the switch chat.
yeah, I tried looking through the previous chats from today on this thread, and I just ended up confusing myself 🥲
2 years… wait are you serious?
Yup! Sometimes there weren't even any City Town updates at all in one of our big updates on Arcade.
Back in the fall when Sunblink had initially been hoping to release City Town, there was about half as much to it as there is now.
I have major trauma from the “Made With Love” soft lock, that I try to check out the Discord just to know what to avoid for any other potential soft locks (and the nightmare came true with this supposed new one 😩😭)
My mind is blown. There is so much content, how do arcade players even remember the storyline?! You must all have wayyyyyyyy better memory.
We remember it because there was so much teasing and suspense!
Yes
Yes
Even the layout was different. It didn't have many tall areas we could visit, and there was nothing on the orchard level except for the orchard. The cooler shops weren't there. Nobody hunt out there except for Usahana and her visitors.
Yes
Wow! What was the layout like? Do you have any pictures for the curious.
Arcade players SERIOUSLY have incredible patience. I will hopefully channel their will power to wait out this lock.
2 years. Wow. 🤯
Whoa
I don't, but the critter park was in that round area on the right where characters gather for quests now. (The critter park area now was just water.) The shops (Pekkle's, MSP, eventually Tourist Shop) were in that centre street leading to The Fog. We didn't have the West Rooftop at all; for a long time, we didn't have City Skyline either. And Rainbow Tower was off to the right kind of where Pekkle and Hangyodon stand now.
Yes
It was a big hassle when the maps changed, because it meant we had to redo them all for the wiki.
But the revised layout is way better. There was no beach area either and no grassy area where the flower patch is.
I cannot picture this. To google I go!
Yes
This is what it was like when I started playing:
Wow!!! It doesn’t even look the same
The beta testers in the fall said nobody would pay $25 for the City Town DLC in the state it was in, and they were right. That feedback pushed Sunblink to make it so much better.
What were the yellow dots?
Yes
Imagine Imagination Café with nobody visiting except for the current customer.
The comparison between the two is incredibly striking. I am glad they made adjustments.
Nobody was sitting outside. Nobody was at the tables. Nobody was hanging around in the streets except for Buppi and Wanwa etc.
A ghost town?!
Pretty much!!
With one very cute ghost (Usahana).
Most of the City Town music was rewritten in the first months of 2026 and also became much better.
Well if Arcade can wait 2 years, and learn an entirely new map, I can hold out until Saturday. Thanks you for the pep talk!
I think you will live. 🙂
Hold up! Are you saying there was no music there?!
👌 you made me snort with that one.
When I first started playing, there wasn't even a map in the sewers. Thankfully those appeared before I had to do most of the puzzle rooms there.
(But that was already a good 15 months after City Town had been released on Arcade.)
Comparing the 2 maps one more time, the first one you looks like a concept map of the new one. 😅 I can see why they said no one would pay 25.00 for that.
The new shops have made it so much better too. It was nice to be able to buy CDs from Pekkle, but you only need those a few times.
I live on the Wiki for maps.
I really like the cafe. I love customizing the outside and seeing all the visitors for more 2 minutes when I collect items.
The outside customization options got way better in recent months too, and the many new options were much nicer.
When the characters first finally started showing up inside the café to eat (rather than getting all their orders to go), they weren't eating what we had just sold them. I'm pretty sure Sunblink fixed that and now they do.
There are so many more reasons to hang out there now. Before there was a bit more to do there than there is in WW, but not much more.
Thank you for sharing so much knowledge about the game. I cannot believe how different it all sounds. It’s been such a great time playing. Hard to imagine how it all began.
@heavy sand You might be interested in this change: we used to be able to catch the uncommon pastel perch in this hot tub:
They were literally fish in a barrel!
It was so easy. I got so much fwish furniture from just sitting here and reeling in fish after fish after fish.
This was also a major hiding spot of rainbow beams. They hid behind it and could hardly be seen at all on the pink tiles.
It's outside where Kuromi's boutique is now.
They're so difficult in that big swimming pool they're in now. I was super sad about that particular change, though the pool is prettier.
Incredible! A tiny pool. 🏊
Now I want them to ad a little hot tub.
It could function the same way.
Only without the hiding rainbow beams.
Question, how far into the DLC does the fog clear?
||Not very far, at least as of now. We've been told City Town was supposed to be complete when you got it on the other platforms, so it's not clear that there will ever be more. We hope maybe though.||
Righto
Nobody on Arcade has Usahana at the new higher levels yet, so maybe there are still exciting thing ahead nobody knows about.
🤞
I was lowkey traumatized by a softlock back in the base game last year (still salty that the unreasonable resource demands for completing the rain stone were reduced shortly after i painfully completed the quest) so I progress quests slowly this time
I'm surprised that we still don't have an option to cancel quests in progress
what can you gift to him?
You can’t. He’s a cameo character, like Ebi-Fry in WW. That menu only exists because it’s in some quests.
I see
Hi goodmorning, does anyone know how many cds spawn each day in city town?
I think there’s only one.
Ty
Okay we got the answer now you need to do 750 || orders to complete the imagination caffee ||
Yup. It can be done in ||8 days||
Or if you’re not into grinding. However long you like
~ REPOSTING IN CASE NOBODY SAW ~ hold up, I’m now lost - pls could somebody clarify the order of quests to do to avoid another soft lock (this time I’m assuming it’s called “Detour Distractions” ???) + also why we shouldn’t max out the cafe [if it hasn’t been done so already] 🙏 😅
I saw someone was kind enough of write out a list + posted it on here, but I wanted to double-check if that’s the order to follow (especially to avoid the “Detour Distractions” soft lock) ???
I think I could have been done yesterday already but at the first day I didn‘t know about the ||100 order limit||
do not start “last but not least”until both “inspo buddies” and “city town plush pals” are done
You need an item that is unlocked in City Town Plush Pals and the characters are the same
ahh okay, tysm for clarifying 🥰 !!!
I got confused and wasn’t sure which ones had to be done beforehand, and which ones to avoid getting soft locked again 😭
does maxing out the Imagination Cafe have anything to do with the new soft lock as well - I’m currently at Level 32 and not sure if I should continue to level up rn or not 🤔
Nope
Do you know when the soft lock will be fixed? Asking for no particular reason👀…
It should be fixed with 2.15. The time required to unlock the quests is changed. I know that update is with Nintendo for approval. So really it’s up to them now
good heavens I'm getting reflux just by reading this
At least they don‘t want any sweet ingredients in addition
when can we build houses in city town?
There is a ||big tower on the west which you can upgrade with orange crates for visitors ||
my cafe really must be the talk of the town
oh I seeee thank you
Anyone know the best combo of mochi for usahana 3💜 gift?
For Switch players locked on the Last but not least quest I have a Colorpillar Plush pal giveaway here https://discord.com/channels/1105575633943277629/1497156929405980762 tag me on the thread if you need one
bubbles the real mvp!!
tysm for breaking me out of softlock jail 
Pro tip: Instead of using hangyodon, it is more practical to just walk underwater
Yes! Do you maybe have some rice in exchange?
Steamdeck
I'm on switch 2
Who is going to share a code? Dont know if you also want to visit stores as well (:
Switch players can only do multiplayer with other Switch players unfortunately
there is no crossplatform multiplayer
Oh for real -_-
yeap 🙁
@devout hinge sorry hun ):
no worries we have a giveaway the person handing this out is coming back soon 🙂
Yeah. I got myself into a mess. Need rice, but I cant take Hello Kitty with me to level Usuhana with extra xp 😭, so I cant continue most quests. Almost everybody is involved in one quest, unbelievable
👍
oh no have you tried the multiplayer channels for steam?

Hi, i play on Steam and have some rice to give if you still need it!
unfortunately we can’t do multiplayer with people from different platforms :(
Steamdeck should be fine for pc/steam, no ?
Both are steam unless i misunderstood something
they play on apple arcsde
No no the other user was
a lot of people don't get the right role or play in multiple platforms
ohh, sorry my bad, they must have the AA tag on bc it’s VERY hard to get rid of!
hey diana, i’m not sure if you play on multiple platforms but sometimes if you maybe report it as a discord bug they can correct your tag to the correct one if you have switched from AA
Yeah, Im on steam and I couldnt figure out why I got apple arcade. I dont own anything from Apple 😂
Yes please!
You can choose your roles in id:customize.
THANK YOU
why is the infinite loop of the cafe so relaxing
I think it's partly because the customers never complain about their order. Lol
tell me you have worked in customer service without telling me 😂
Ooohhh noooo. I've been found out~ 🤣
my first job was in a call center
Oh gosh. That always seemed like it would be a nightmare. My first job was in the men's department at a department store.
hello do i need ||3 imaginary fish for 1 fish sushi? or only 1 imaginary fish is fine?||
i think only one per sushi will work for for quests, but you need to make them all the same
Help! I’m locked out of quests in City Town 😭
I’m stuck on Last, But Not Least. I’m not able to make the ||Colorpillar Plush Pal|| because I don’t have the plans. I’m pretty sure you unlock the plans with the ||Inspo Buddies|| quest, which I’m locked out of because My Sweet Piano is busy with Last, But Not Least.
😭
does anyone have a photo of the locations of the puzzle rooms? i have 11 out of 13 and know where one im missing is
Same 🫂 earlier I read that we have to wait on the 2.15 update
Hugs friend! Any idea when the update will be out? This kind of stops me from doing much of anything since so many characters, including Usahana, are locked in that quest.
I think they are waiting on Nintendo to approve it & idk how long that will take 💔
@fringe fiber alll the puzzles you might need
nikki’s channel was very useful to me with her solution videos
i just found the last one i was missing lol but thank you

Am i supposed to get usahana boxes before i got full friendship points with her or is that a glitch?
It’s intended because they didn’t want to take bestie benefits from Apple Arcade players. You can also ask Usahana to collect items starting at level 20.
Oh okay that makes sense, thank you!
Does anyone know how to turn this thing on?
There's a lever on top of a building nearby! You'll have to get up there another way first
Thanks!! It really helped💗
Hey @solemn goblet what if I didn't know and started it ? Now the character is stuck with "last but not least" and it won't let me start the prerequisites 😢
You might be able to solve it with multiplayer, otherwise you will need to wait for Nintendo to approve the update patch to fix it.
it's been reported. hopefully it fixes with the update you guys are due. but i don't have any specific info
Thank you so much 😊🙏
Guess I have to wait for the update then lol whoops xD
Why did they make it so complicated to do the tea in the cafe? It just took me five or six tries to make what Usahana wanted
I got a cd from the music store today that isn't yet listed on the wiki; mail day. maybe the missing 3 disks can be picked up that way? I had none in my inventory, and still it appeared there
I think I’m going to have to pay for a Nintendo Online subscription because I can’t keep waiting! Thank you!
Having access to online is very worth it! And you can download some of the Nintendo Classic apps for free if you like old Nintendo games!

If anyone is quest locked and need a colorpillar plush I can help on switch 2!
I’ll post in user marketplace
I can’t find the color pillar plush pals in my sweet piano shop at all is this another bug
Aww does Cinnamoroll not get to actually use this outfit after the quest?
on switch? yes
#1496777623718727713 message
I don’t think that’s the bugged quest — Last, But Not Least is after the emporium opens.
There is no plush for this colorpillar , or did I do something wrong?
it is bugged on switch since we are on version 2.14.1
Cinna’s outfit is unlocked after the fashion show.
inspo buddies unlocks after days of piano plush pals instead of 4 i think that was the issue
we got inspo buddies today but players got last but not least yesterday
It’s a different quest for Cinna.
So I have to wait ? 🫤
That one is the bugged quest. You need to either get a Colorpillar Plush Pal in multiplayer or wait for the 2.15 patch, which is waiting on Nintendo’s review.
If you’re switch 2 @nova ferry I can help
Oh no . This is bad
I don't have a switch 2 . But thank you for wanting to help .
i tagged you on the giveaway too if you need it for switch 1
if multiplayer is available to you we are doing a giveaway on the multiplayer channels
Oh goodness. I've been playing solo . I haven't done multi-player or unlock
City Town is Quest Gated and still heavily Time Gated.
I’m not sure I would call being able to get ||beyond the fog|| in a week from starting as heavily time-gated. It seems pretty quick, all things considered.
Admittedly, Usahana’s higher levels and visitors will take significantly longer.
The visitors being available for only a week each is going to make getting them all a slog 💀
Im not looking forward to the rotations
There was a few "Wait until tomorrows" I seen and of course ||several quests you had to wait for the next day.||
I just bought both the dlc how do I get into the dlc area ???
.ctreqs
Here are the requirements to unlock City Town
- "Deep Diving" Snorkel Mission, "Keep It Reel" Fishing Tutorial, and "A Zipline Adventure" completed
- Badtz-maru, Chococat, Keroppi, Kuromi and Cinnamoroll at level 7
- Badtz-maru, Chococat, Keroppi, Kuromi, and Hello Kitty are available
"Ship Shape" is the quest associated with City Town! Happy Adventuring!~
Thx

Yes How Long Is The Wait
No one knows how long the wait is. Asking every day will not get an answer. We just have to wait.
You'll hear when the update is out
Yes That’s Right We Have To Be Patient
You’re Welcome
Amazing
Yes Be Patient
That’s Not Good
I’m obsessed with ||kirimi-chan and I would do anything for them||
Also these ||imaginary critters kind of freak me out lol||
can't say i love them. the flavors people have been requesting have also been 🤮
I have a really bad request from piki hold on
And from Haida
Haida something is wrong with you for this
yeah i said this yesterday. I got a request for ||WASABI Taiyaki|| more than once
Once I max out my cafe level I might start turning away the people who want food I don’t support
Like frosty snow ice
you can actually turn them away now - the skips don't count into the 100 per day
i did a bunch of testing
So you’re telling me I don’t have to use my precious lemons
Life is beautiful 🤩
I hate this part. With Retsuko's band mates or whatever too, and the later stage Cinna friends. Nobooooodyyyyy visiting my island today, where are you frienddddds?
Only a week at a time is not that bad honestly
At least you always have someone visiting each week
Once I got to the later end of the game I was waiting for one visitor a month
Completed the ||Sashimi Spire||
Yes
Yes
Playing this DLC has made me want boba more.
Yes
I had to buy some mochi ice cream from Target lol
That sounds good. I haven't had that in awhile
Same.
Almost There With The Sashimi Spire
Nice.
Yes
I really wanna get the Boba popsicles
Yes
He got in the middle
I've definitely been buying and eating some mochi lately bc of this dlc yeah
Tried boba once and wasn't into it, but I might have just picked the wrong flavour for me at the time (brown sugar) and it was from a can idk..
Oh yeah, the from a can stuff is not it. You gotta find a boba/bubble tea place to make it fresh
There is a sushi shop in the mall that also sells boba, maybe i should try again but get a fruity flavour from there
it gets a weird texture in a can in my experience
Yeah i wasn't into the texture either, good to know that might have been bc it wasn't fresh
I love boba and have made it at home even, but have yet to find an in-a-cam brand that is even halfway decent.
There are also different kinds of bubble tea - if youre not into the common tapioca pearls, some places also have jelly pearls and other types. (I dont like the jellies, just give me that sweet chewy tapioca, but some people like other types better!)
Like the folks coming to the Imagination Cafe, sometimes you just gotta keep trying lots of different things until you find something you like! 🧋🫧💕
I also tried a can with the pearls that pop and tbh i disliked that more than the tapioca
It was surprise liquid in my liquid 
if i'm having a more fruity tea I usually lean towards a popping boba or a jelly. It it's a milk tea then I want tapioca
there tends to be a lot of options. I almost always lower the amount of sugar as well
What's the jelly kind? I didnt know there was a third option
It’s like a substitute for boba if you don’t like tapioca
Imagine jello chunks
They’re also softer
Why does ||the gradient on his belly patch run in the reverse direction compared to the rest of the body
that..... kind of bothers me tbh||
I’m stuck needing a colorpillar plushie too. Can you help out?
There’s a thread in #1327454288284221553 that can help
Usahana ||and kirimi chan are so funny like Usahana is so type a sometimes it makes me laugh from how absurd it is||
Joooooo
Surprised I havent seen a Retsuko quest in City Town especially cause I think she from Toyko. I feel there is a good dynamic for a quest
Finished the DLC. I got emotional toward the end. This DLC had a much more interesting story than Wheatflower Wonderland
As an ex bobarista (worked in a boba shop all through grad school 🧋) this is bringing me a bitersweet sense of nostalgia for my cafe job days 🥲 any other baristas/former baristas feelin this vibe?
4 sewer puzzles down 
i dont think that is for him 
||Everyone has its NEW Style!||
Can we eventually customize the inside of the Cafe
||I really feel bad closing the cafe for the day on anyone||
I just lost my progress on the cafe 😭 I was on LV 25 and now I’ve gone back to LV 17.
My game crashed as I left the cafe and backed up my last save
Maybe save in between orders. That's what I do.
@rustic rapids I’d recommend that. Especially once you’ve reached each level of the cafe
Of course. And my cafe is maxed out.
I was close. It was like two hours of work to get to LV22 and then it crashed 😭😂
Thank you both for the tips.
Not bad.
No problem.
||does outfit emporium not work on multiplayer?||
I don't know. Never tried it.
hmm ): just tried to enter someone elses shop whilst i was there and tuxedo sam was flickering between visible and invisible and i couldn't shop ): wonder if intended or bug
Met and subsequently freed this adorable Imagination bean today.
I hate that im stuck on a city twon quest
Like im stuck on last but not least and im needing a colour pillar plush badly (i missed out on a giveaway and im really upset im stuck on it)
Loving the FINAL FANTASY-esque style of it. Big spoiler if you just started the DLC, please don’t open.
anyone knows how to get the rainbow mermaid suit parts in city town?
Leveling up
I think. The headpiece comes after many levels tho
It didn't work. Usahana didn't give me the piece she was supposed to when I reached level 15 with her Nevermind, I was misled by the information listed on the outfits of city town collection tab in the wiki. I have the piece in my inventory after all.
maybe you could check your inventory to see if you have the rainbow mermaid armor? assuming you're already level 15 with Usahana ofc
I have the top and the bottom pieces. Still missing the head piece as I haven’t reached that level just yet
ah, I found them on my inventory as well. I was checking the outfits collection tab, and the mermaid pieces don't go there anymore, despite being listed on the wiki as belonging to that collection; for a moment I thought the game bugged and didn't give me the friendship reward.
switch 1 user: could someone pls give me a colourpillar plushie - I'm softlocked

Ugh i need more rice to make stuff for the closing nights quest im doing
I just did the quests with ||kuromi's boutique and the giant food items|| and now have to wait for tomorrow to continue, and i assume the ||giant food will eventually go away again, but i honestly wish i could keep the ice cream and the donut|| 👀
||That's a cupcake.||
Looks a lot more like ||a scoop of strawberry ice cream in a paper cup or something to me... perhaps a muffin with icing on it, but cupcakes don't have a dome shape like that afaik...|| but i haven't done tomorrow's follow-up quests yet, so idk i guess. Either way it looks cute and i want to keep it.
I’m so mad that ||there was a giant taco but we can’t make one in game||
I agree
Maybe they recycled some of the models from the ice cream machine
I know ||the cupcake/ice cream was from birthday quests. I seen it in Hangy's quest.||
I guess the best way to get tickets with my skills is sticking to the letters mini game 
Medium level gives 360 with some mistakes so far
Why is usahana so hard to level up after level 20?
It's like RPGs, higher levels require more EXP.
Ty
was that meant for me?
No, sorry. But could be an advice hahaha
Sorry couldn’t find where to ask about trading, but I am looking for a caterpillar plush please. Playing on switch 1
thats...not...a vending...
I already took pictures in several different locations of gemstone town and its not checking it out.
I also had issues with that one, eventually it completed near pekkle in the middle of town
Same
Should it work here? its not working here
Is there a good way to farm ||imaginary food||? I'm trying to make the stuff needed for ||Closing Night|| quest.
|| I think one spawns close to the main sewer and one to the lower sewer and I was just teleporting between both spots ||
I'll try that!
Mine worked literally right next to
and zoomed in quite close to her, also try making everyone look at the camera first (not sure if those last things are necessary but that's what i did)
I think one spot of the || sea urchins was when you go up two vents with your balloons but I am not sure anymore. Also imaginary shrimps spawn at the beach ||
I was actually stuck on Closing Night simply because I ran out of rice.
awwww poor lil baby
It's a mistake in the description, it's Gemstone Town.
Yes and it has to be next to Pekkle.
This worked! i had to make her my companion too!
Same
Yeah. I had to wait until today to get more rice from Usahana so I can complete that quest and then do, Into The Fog, Again, Regroup and Retrain and Into The Heart of Imagination.
Im still trying to get ushana to high enough friendship level for the other quests 🥲
Good luck. Make sure you make some Rainbow Dangos since that's Usahana's 3 Heart Gift.
How did you unlock this quest? Mines were locked that has contained "Into the Fog, Again?"
I am stuck on trying to get the last puzzle key for the sewers I did every other puzzle and got every other key every other place and not having much luck with the cafe
hii! today’s my first day of playing the game does anyone have any like tips or anything im confused on the overall objective of it to like do quests?
Are you asking about City Town or about HKIA in general?
HKIA!
If just the game in general and you're on Arcade, this question would be better posted in #🕹game-discussion or #🕹questions-and-help
I was not expecting so many quests to be thrown at us so quickly with City Town. Every day I seem to unlock two or three more!
anyone else make sure every guest has 5 hearts? hehe
I think the total limit of keys you can get from the cafe is 4, you might be missing one from somewhere else if you've been opening the cafe every day
oooh! I like the decoration! very nice 😄
thank you! I try to make them all look decent too, which can be hard with some of their requirements haha
Yes.
yeah true! gotta hide all the food under the bed sometimes xD
I can't decide if the ||imaginary food|| is terrifying or hilarious or both.
I say both.
👀
Any idea when the City Town bug is getting fixed? I’m talking about the “Last but not least” quest.
I just got multiplayer because the soft lock was driving me crazy if anyone one has color pillars to spare let me know
Please use the Switch multiplayer channels for item requests. There have been some players giving away colorpillar plush pals in #1327454288284221553
The developers were hoping that Nintendo would approve the version 2.15 update before this weekend. (The devs have previously said that Nintendo's review process takes 2+ weeks, so I'm guessing they had the update submitted to Nintendo before the DLC released.)
However, version 2.15 is currently still waiting on Nintendo's review. I don't think Nintendo reviews updates over weekends, but I could be wrong.
and send it by mail like the latest softlock? nintendo is sooooo slow😭
Yes
We definitely need a button that allows us to cancel or pause quests that we can't complete🫠 more than anything for occasions like these that make us stuck
I think they said that it's just not possible to drop a quest with the current quest system -- probably means it would break something. This is from a 2024 feedback thread.
Unfortunately this just isn't how our quest system works. It's currently impossible to start, undo, and then re-have the quest.
They also called the quest system "disappointingly fragile" around that same time.
From what they've said, quest system improvements have been a work-in-progress for a while. The extremophile greenhouse upgrade has been waiting on quest system improvements, for example -- it's implied that the quest(s) to upgrade it might need to do something like track or request specific colors for specific flower types, and the current system just can't.
oh i see, thank you so much for the explanation- I started playing in 2025 so I probably missed this thing but if it was possible it would have been a life saver😅
now let's just hope the update arrives this week and Nintendo hurry up😂🫠
I am DEEPLY LOVING || Kuromi's salon and the ability to edit/create my own color palettes for skins ||
Same and hello kitty and my melody help a lot
I feel like bringing Keroppi with me made them spawn faster, but that could also just be my imagination lol
Just met ||Imagination Spirit||. I love.
I forgot what my melody does fr
Gives an extra of whatever the return gift is!
Oh i didn’t know that j shall do that tomorrow fr
I am down to the last 2 food figments and I cant finnnnnd themmm. I wish I'd tracked which ones I found already as I found them 😅
They aren't 32, 34, or 35 (the ones you can't do until after getting the new foods)?
I definitely did 32 and 34
Were you using my map? I can check out all those spots in fewer than three minutes.
So much easier than checking all the wheatheart locations.
Ughhhhh I forgot to have Usahana with me when making triple imaginary crab sushi, nooooo
Where would one find this handy-dandy map? 👀
That's the direct link to the English one.
Thank you! That is SO much easier than what I was using
It's useful to have the wiki handy too, because sometimes it's hard to see the exact spot; with the wiki you can use my number and see what the location looks like.
||being able to make my character an actual calico cat made me unnecessarily excited 😭||
Yes
THANK YOU, I found it! (It was #22, randomly)
Can we see it?
Well now I wanna be a kitty!
Oh, cute!!!
are we able to ||shop on sam's clothes shop in CT on another players island? || I tried and it did not give me the option
Not in the Emporium, no. 🙁
Super disappointing.
thank you 🙁

What's up everybody? How's City Town so far, but No Spoilers please to anyone? Still trying to get more ||Rices (to Maxed out Kirimi's Spire Boat)|| I can help anyone to bring more new ingredients
Doing good with city town been grinding a lot on that recently
yeah same
But still struggling on those ingredient that i DO need is......... ||RICES||
Make sure youre bringing My Melody with when giving Usahana her daily gifts! (And Hello Kitty, of course)
I'm wondering how they fit ||thirteen freaking puzzle rooms in the sewers||, and also where the last mailbox is. It looks like I've explored the whole of both maps already, but I'm still missing one of those
Not sure this is a bug so just asking. ||soy sauce, ginger, and wasabe only appear on the Sashimi Spire|| right? I went to give folks tasks to pick stuff up and it says I have some ungathered stuff and I don't
Yes, there seems to be a bug with the count. Bug thread: ||https://discord.com/channels/1105575633943277629/1496128637345206323||
Did you look at ktroma’s map on the wiki?
Ah I was not sure if it was a bug or I was loosing my mind. Good to know
I’ve needed to have the Wiki open every time I try to solve one, but I haven’t been as focused on anything else there yet
I meant the map of the sewers… It shows the mailboxes and all the puzzle rooms.
I was trying to look at that earlier, but it does not work on phones, at least on the Wiki
You can save it now.
The inset main sewer part is either in front or behind…
Where the shadow sprays are.
The only critter/fish I’m still missing from City Town is the crowbert
They’re not in the sewers…
I haven’t been able to spot them in the above ground city either
You can easily find those by making the game night, going to City Skyline mailbox, and walking east to the grassy area.
Yeah, the graffiti of the Squeakles and Shadow Sprays remind me of the old information posts at a zoo in Mexico City.
They look like black Citywings
I think I saw a map of where they're found, and they're apparently on top of the pinkish buildings to the right of the map, right above Keroppi's garden thing.
They’re where I said.
Also in the towers around the West Rooftop mailbox, but I find those ones trickier to get.
I'll have to keep an eye out next time I'm in the city at night, I've spent the last few days trying to level up Usahana and the cafe, and upgrading the tower so I have space for all of her visitors
I think I've just been assuming they are citywings if I do happen to see them
Black like crows!
The city's honestly kind of frustrating to navigate, so much of it seems purposefully designed so that jumping and gliding just don't make it. Almost like they're trying to force the use of thermal and stamina potions, and/or keeping some combination of Kuromi, Pompompurin, and Retsuko as companions
Most of it you can do with just Cinnamoroll.
Pekkle for climbing the pipes before you have unlocked mailboxes.
I wish they'd add potions that let us jump higher and climb faster without needing companions
Or Wheatflour critter wands
If you have WW, you can use those wands in CT.
Yeah, I've got WW, too, but also adding those potions would kind of make sense. Like completing a set almost
I don’t understand… If you have them from WW, why do you need another set of them for here?
I guess there’s no climbing one.
Oh, I see what you mean.
I find the potions inconvenient when they last for such a short time. When I’m in my husband’s City Town and can’t have companions, I usually go as a Floopy Balooper.
I've been doing a lot of my daily collecting as one of those lately, too
I also like being a Flockadoodle because I think it looks hilarious when they swim
You should submit a feedback about those two missing potions. Those would be useful at the beginning. Especially the climbing one.
Usahana’s ability + Wheatflour Wonderland + being able to favorite things has made me more willing to use potions. Magic Potions, especially with Kuromi's ability giving +50% time, last long enough to be useful, but it’s too expensive without Usahana and Hello Kitty helping with the production.
And feedback post made
I'm also still holding out hope that they'll put the full body outfits in their own tab for the dyeing and mirror interfaces
I mean, we're able to filter our inventory so we only see the full body outfits in the clothes tab, so why keep them bunched in with the tops everywhere else anyway?
i havent been able to find the last fruit tree i need. are they in specific areas or do i just have to keep wandering around?
ah well i just kept wandering and found it!
I know wheatflour wonderland did it first but it would have been neat if Rice could be used in other cooking stations. Like, Fried Rice and/or Omelet Rice from the egg pan, rice crackers from Moppu's Vending Machine, that sort of thing
Doria from the pizza oven and Rice Pudding from the Dessert Machine
Man Usahana's ||Rerolling minigame rewards|| ability is bonkers dude.
I was ||missing incredible hello kitty #3, and I verbally said in a call with a friend "here goes attempt #1"|| and got it first try.
Then at reset I went to try it on ||Gemstone Match because I was only missing Adventures #11|| AND I GOT IT FIRST TRY AGAIN. Usahana is crazy strong
Hi, my quest is locked. Can anyone help me where i could find a colorpillar plush?
Yayy
Did you check the shop?
Why does it have to be this specifically i worry i wont have enough rice somewhat
Hey everyone sorry to dumb ask
It says i can find 15 ginger today but only 5 on the boat
Where would my other 10 be?
That was giving me headache as well. I thought making random would work but I had to remember and do them all the same, it was quite frustrating but hey~ done it lol
True lol
I’m having the same issue! I started the last but not least quest before the city plush pals quest so now I’m quest locked. I don’t know what to do
Did you ||upgrade it||? ||Upgrading the Tower gives you his furniture and makes more stuff spawn on the tower||.
I DID IT!

@obsidian bridge @versed rain
Am I the only one who doesn't like || Kirimi-chan ||? It just creeps me out. 😅
He creeps me out too! I think its because hes so tiny i never see him coming! I just fimshed the sushi tower no lore climbing chop sticks! Those chop sticks were the worst! 🤣
I though Switch players had problems with the DLC. I seen people wanting a colorpiller plush and talking about being softlocked.
Yeah, there are a couple quests where the quest progression isn't quite set up right. I think theyre pushing a fix for the issues found in the next Switch update, but it takes so much longer to get Nintendo approvals for updates than PS5 and Steam, it sounds like, so we're struggling a bit 😅
No i hadn’t complete that quest, but i had help from someone here so i’m back in the game. Thx for replying.
Alr np
||Its like a Final Fantasy Final Boss Style! An Easter Egg Reference to its original Boss battle from Final Fantasy franchises||
||Oh dear me, Usahana and batz maru except hello kitty still standing STRONG||
I got help there, thx for sharing
I LOVED this! I had to show my spouse lol
Does the Ushana multiply count?
The multiplier gives you extra food items and additional city coins, it helps a lot when you’re serving large volumes of orders. I have Usahana and Cogimyun equipped for this: Cogimyun returns some items after crafting, and Usahana doubles the food output.
You’re limited to 100 orders per day, so I usually just put on some music and zone out while running the café, haha.
So does it count towards the 1000?
No, each character placing an order counts as one order.
Usahana doesn’t increase the number of orders; she just helps by producing extra food and granting additional city coins.
The extra food can then be used to fulfill other characters’ orders, which saves resources.
Hi, I’m soft locked on a quest. Can anyone trade a colorpillar? Switch 2
Ty
please unlock multiplayer by reading the rules first in: https://discord.com/channels/1105575633943277629/1327697414748115016 and you can either look for a thread or create one in the trading channels, since we can't trade here 
praise the heavens omg
how do i get more ||saplings?|| I have all of them from the quest but noticed there are many more ||planters|| around
||They appear randonly around City Town.||
do you know how often?
||afaik only the planters on the rooftop are meant for trees, the others that look the same in other parts of the city are only meant for displaying flowers..||
they don't respawn, you only get one per fruit type
oohh okay! that makes much more sense, they were the same shape so i was confused, so long story short, ||we only get one of each tree type||
there's only 13 you can get
W profile pic omg
thank you!! i love puppet voldemort :)
hahahah snape snape....
DUMBLEDOORR!
||But more fruit types appear afterwards.||
in total there are 13 fruit types, if you've got all of them, then there aren't any more
After you grow the ||first set of saplings and do the quest the rest of the saplings || appear around city town in specific spots
Once you collect them they don’t respawn.
Only the 13 planters on the roof orchard can hold trees
Just unlock it and use it for the first time 😍! I’m excited to see the result tomorrow! As usual, I got photobomb by a critter 😅
....I soft blocked myself...AGAIN
apart of TuxedoSam's "last but not least" quest requires a Colourpillar plush
but I haven't unlocked a colourpillar plush because I haven't completed "CityTown Pluh Pals
and I CAN"T complete that quest because "my sweet piano is busy" wtht eh "Last but not least" quest
....HELP?!
You can either try to get one in multiplayer or wait a few days until the 2.15 update comes out. It was submitted to Nintendo over a week ago.
Guess that’s another quest series I’ll have to be careful not to start just yet
Probably being delayed as other patches and DLC has to be approved as well.
Yes
Just do NOT start the quest "Last But Not Least" until yoy unlock colorpillar plushies in MyMelody's shop
I haven’t unlocked any plushies yet, I’m not sure how to at the moment
Anyone playing switch 1 could you help me get the colorpillar plush or will I have to wait for patch the approve by Nintendo?
Check out the multiplayers channels or here: https://discord.com/channels/1105575633943277629/1497156929405980762
Anyone else notice the imaginary fish in the sewers are flying🤣 its so hard to catch them there crawling in the air
I bring PomPom with me to jump higher to get them once they've been bubbled, lol 🫧
heyy, anyone played ||mail day in the arcade? I don't know if it's a bug but I've read on wiki that you should get 600 buckeroos for completeing the hard mode without any mistakes but my game seems to be also counting time? I've done it without mistakes 2 times and I got 460 and 550... ||
600 is the maximum you can get. You need at least 200,000 points to get that many. If you’re getting 460 and 550, you’re either getting too many wrong or not doing them fast enough. 550 is still pretty good!
yeah, I get all of them correct but it takes some time haha , I think I'm gonna stick with the pipes then - less stressful 🥹
You don’t need all of them correct if you do them quickly. I try to aim for 17 seconds or faster. But you do need most of them correct. Or just do them more slowly and accept that it will take a few more rounds.
I prefer the pipes game too, but even if you do it perfectly on hard, it’s still so few tickets as a reward. 🙁
trueee, but I love that there isn't any time limit. At this point I can just sit and fix pipes for hours. The worst is pochacco... too fast for too few tickets haha
Pipes do induce some anxiety when I turn one without meaning to, but I too prefer the slower pace and satisfaction of closing them all.
I have played pipes for about 2 hours today while I binge watch TV shows lol
took one glance at the amount of content on citytown. i'm ready for a nap
Anybody else unable to finish Closing Night? I can't give the stuff to the thing
I'm doing "The game is afloat!" quest and it says that i have to talk to Usahana but when I'm clicking on her she just asks what's up... anybody got a similar problem?
It might be a matter of they're not where they're supposed to be. If you tried to talk to them before they were at wherever they're supposed to be for the quest they have a habot o fnot giving the correct dialogue
The usual fix for stuck characters is just to exit to the title screen and reenter the game.
I finished the City Town story yesterday. I'm just focusing on leveling up my friendship with Usahana now.
does anybody know if we’re able to check how many imaginary food things we have ???
||I think there is 4 of the Imaginary type. Tuna, Salmon, Eel, and Sea Urchin.||
|| i believe theres also Squid, Scallop, Shrimp, and Crab! ||
I just started last, but not least quest and I do not have the colorpillar plushy and I don’t know where to get it from
if youre on switch 1: https://discord.com/channels/1105575633943277629/1497156929405980762
if youre on switch 2 (my channel!): https://discord.com/channels/1105575633943277629/1498059929720848424
I have both, but I’m playing on the switch 2
i can help you then!
Thank you cause I’ve been stuck for two days
i just @ you in the form :)
thanks for letting me know the different types ☺️
but I meant more as in like checking the quantity of how many I’ve already collected of the respective imaginary food items (apologies for not being clearer in my previous message)
it should be in your inventory under the bag category! i know that squid and tuna are under the purple rarity, not sure for the others as i dont have them as of now😓
ahh tysm 🥰 !!!
I kept trying to find them and had no luck so far, but now I know where to look ☺️
ofc!! happy to help :)

how long does it take to get help via email? I have a bug preventing me from playing
It varies. Sunblink mostly only works weekdays, but support sometimes works on weekends.
do any of the companion abilities work in the arcade ???
dang
It also depends on how many emails they have to answer, and right now they probably have a lot from Switch players due to the softlocks waiting for the patch.
Tuxedosam works at the prize counter, but none work on the games.
tysm for letting me know, although it’s a shame no-one else works 😔
There's not really. You can try making a bug report in #1402379905613959309, but they generally prefer emails to communicate about save-specific issues.
yea its weird I can restart the game but who wants to do that lol
dang guess i gotta wait
@serene ridge do you think they would just give me the task completed or roll me back all the way before the task because ive done alot after that task... i just cant move on with more stuff because it requires that task done..
having trouble with the pointed paths puzzle. seems simple but it’s confusing 😭
Sorry, I can't guess. I don't know about the specifics of how they resolve issues like that.
It might be easier ||to start near the central column and point one sign to the next to form a "path"|| in reverse?
thank you
i ended up looking it up and took the easy way out lolol
does it matter if you leave the cafe open or close it?
If you leave it open sometimes the current order stays at the top of your screen as an open quest. I haven't seen any other negative consequences of leaving it open. I've closed mine (on Arcade) maybe twice in a year.
okay thank you! just wanted to check if there were any benefits/consequences of leaving it open! i never close mine lol
last question, is it still advised not to start the made with love quest?
Have you been in the sewers?
yes!! multiple times. i’ve done a badtz quest and puzzles in there
As far as I know the problem was Made with Love is that people were getting the quest before they had access to seaweed. You have to make seaweed sheets in the quest. If you have seaweed, you should be ok.
The Switch players got Sunblink mail with Seaweed in it (which some spent anyway before starting the quest), but I think Steam had an update that fixed it.
okay thank you!! i didnt know the full deal with that but heard around that some people weren’t able to complete and locked out of other quests because of it! i have lots of seaweed. thanks 
Here's what the wiki says.
Is your café at Level 10+? It should be by now.
yes it’s level 11
And you’ve done Above and Below, to get the sewers. So you should be good.
