The Astral Swan in Infinity Nikki is a creature worth finding since it is the only way to get the exclusive crafting material, Astral Feathers; both can only be sourced by going to one key location in the game. Papergame's popular RPG brimming with both action and fantasy along with many cute creatures from which you can obtain fluffy crafting materials to put together essential outfits. In this case, however, you can only go after this particularly mythical creature, which can only be found after putting a heavy amount of time in to reach its nesting spot.

It's well worth finding the creature, though, since the Astral Swan makes for one of the most wondrous finds in the game. While it requires much more work than when players learn to craft the Memory's Stardust Earrings, you will be happy that you have put the time in since you will then have access to Astral Feathers regularly. You will then be able to craft certain special outfits that can't be made with them.

Astral Swan Location

Stellar Fishing Ground Peak

You can only get Astral Feathers by finding the Astral Swan, which is only located on the cliff of the Stellar Fishing Ground Peak Warp Spire, as marked in the first image of the gallery above, showing it on the Abandoned District Island shaped like a whale. The only way to unlock the Astral Swan first is by completing the World mission, "Soaring Above the Starry Sky," given to you by the "Curious Pinny" NPC, who will be right by the Warp Spire. However, in order to reach the Astral Bird''s Island, you need to unlock the Strawhat Sleepy's Gliding Station as part of Infinity Nikki's campaign.

Within said campaign, you specifically need to almost complete the story mission, "Attention! Faewish Sprite Spotted", the last mission of Chapter 4: Land of the Abandoned. The gliding routes are closed up until a certain point when they're declared open. The next objective in the story will be locked behind a requirement to "Advance your Stylish Rank to Rising Stylist," but you will still be allowed to use the Sleepy's Gliding Station to make it to the Astral Bird's Island as you wish, with no further obstacles.

How To Get Astral Feathers In Infinity Nikki

Just Keep Grooming

You can now access the Astral Swan's Island in Infinity Nikki and get Astral Feathers by completing the "Soaring Above the Starry Sky" mission. As part of the mission, you need to equip your animal grooming outfit, approach it, and groom it. Then, you'll have your first astral feather. Next, to complete the mission, you will then need to equip your Floral Gliding Outfit, and fly with the bird.

Be sure to activate the Warp Spire at Stellar Fishing Ground Peak so you can quickly travel back to get more Astral Feathers in the future without needing to use the Strawhat Sleepy's Gliding Station.

What the game won't tell you that you need to keep in mind is that while you can pan the camera around, you must keep Nikki still at all times throughout the entire sequence until she and the Astral Swan land. Otherwise, this part of the quest will fail, and you will have to trigger the flight sequence again. Keep following the quest until it is complete, and you can groom it again to get another Astral Feather once per day.

How To Use Astral Feathers

Craft Special Clothing Items

With Astral Feathers in hand, players can start crafting rare clothing items that have the material as required crafting materials, like the Galaxy's Desire chest accessory, Radiant Aspirations choker, and the Starlit Celebration outfit. You get the sketch for Galaxy's Desire immediately after completing the "Soaring Above the Starry Sky" mission. However, the sketches for Radiant Aspirations and Starlit Celebration could only be obtained during the limited-time Heartfelt Wish Event.

On the other hand, there could always be another opportunity to get those sketches in the future, so keep those feathers stocked. Three Astral Feathers can also be used to craft the Gentle Breeze outfit for Momo, which you get the sketch for when reaching Level 16 with Kilo the Cadenceborn. Just to keep going back to the Stellar Fishing Ground Peak in Infinity Nikki to groom the Astral Swan, and you will soon have all of the Astral Feathers you will ever need throughout your playthrough.
