The journey in Infinity Nikki is far from over once the main story's eighth chapter concludes. A new narrative horizon beckons with the 'Fifteen Years, Echoes of Wishes' quest, a pivotal mission that not only unlocks a deeper interlude chapter but also offers a profoundly satisfying conclusion by rescuing the imprisoned stylists. This quest peels back the layers on the enigmatic Avicinda, adding rich backstory to a key figure, and sets the stage for crafting the coveted Silvergale ensemble. For a dedicated player, this is where the real endgame fashion and lore hunting begins.

To kick things off, you've gotta have Chapter 8 in the bag. With the world's events reshuffling the deck, Giroda now holds the title of Wish Master. The quest trigger is a bit of a secret handshake: you must visit him at the Temple of Wishes, but here's the catch—you need to be wearing your Shrinking Outfit. It's a classic case of 'size matters,' but in reverse! Once you're pint-sized and in his presence, the mission to free the caged stylists officially begins. No shortcuts here; this is the only way to get the ball rolling.

The quest walkthrough is straightforward but packed with story. Your first port of call is Avicinda, Giroda's former right-hand man who's now, let's just say, 'enjoying' the state's hospitality at the Caven Prison. To grill him for info, you'll need to make your way southwest from the Desperation Orb Warehouse. Pro tip: use the nearest Warp Spire for a quick teleport—saves a ton of time you could spend on other grind sessions.

A chat with Avicinda is more than just an interrogation; it's a story dump. He'll spill the tea on his past and his involvement, giving you the crucial hint about the cage key. According to him, the key is stashed near the Research Institute, cleverly hidden within a pile of leaves. It's like a fashion-themed treasure hunt, honestly.

Now, for the key hunt—the real meat of the quest. Head west of the Research Institute and scout the area near some rocky outcrops. You'll spot several suspicious leaf piles. This is where your Purification Outfit becomes your best friend. Channel its power to blow those leaves away. It might take a few tries—RNG can be a pain—but one of those piles will yield the precious key. It's a moment of pure 'aha!' satisfaction.

With key in hand, the next step is a no-brainer. Return to the research institute and hand it over to the guards on duty. This act triggers the liberation of all the captive stylists. But hold your horses—the quest isn't done until you've had a little chat with each and every one of the rescued fashionistas. Think of it as a debriefing, but with more style and probably some tears of gratitude. Only after these conversations will the quest officially wrap up.

Completing 'Fifteen Years, Echoes of Wishes' is seriously rewarding, both narratively and materially. The biggest prize is access to the Interlude Chapter: Call of Beginning. This new chapter is your golden ticket to finally craft the stunning Silvergale Aria outfit, a set many players have been drooling over. Furthermore, you'll unlock the node for the makeup sketches of the Wishful Aurosa outfit in the Hearts of Infinity system, allowing you to complete another gorgeous look.

On top of these epic unlocks, you'll bag a sweet haul of in-game resources:

• 40 Diamonds 💎 (Always welcome for those gacha pulls!)

• 10,000 Blings 💰 (Your wallet will thank you.)

• 30 Threads of Purity 🧵 (Essential for high-end crafting.)

This quest truly bridges the main story and the expanded endgame content. It's not just a fetch quest; it's a lore-rich episode that ties up loose ends, deepens character relationships, and sets you on the path to acquiring some of the game's most sought-after cosmetic items. For any stylist aiming to complete their collection in 2025, mastering this quest is an absolute must. So suit up, shrink down, and get ready to make some wishes come true!
