Aniimo: How to Unlock the Lumenfly Valley Bloom Teleport in Sea of Flowers

The barrier, the Flutternym requirement, and the dream path that leads to the Lumenfly Valley waypoint.

Lumenfly Valley sits at the bottom of a wide gorge in the Sea of Flowers, sealed behind a blue-and-purple aura. You can climb the cliffs above it long before the story sends you there, but dropping in early just teleports you straight back out. The Bloom waypoint inside the valley is tied to the main story, and there is no shortcut around it.

Quick answer: Reach the Fragrant Colors main story quest, light Sunia’s incense at the barrier, Twine with a Flutternym, then fly the dream blossom path until you reach the Lumenfly Valley Bloom.


What blocks the Lumenfly Valley Bloom

Three separate things stand between you and the waypoint, and all of them have to be cleared in order.

  • The barrier at the valley mouth only opens when you light the incense during the story quest.
  • The valley itself is open to Flutternym only, so you must be Twined with one to stay inside.
  • The Bloom sits on a floating platform partway up the gorge, reachable only by flying the dream blossom path.

The entrance is at map coordinates -0366, 0936, on the far edge of the Sea of Flowers. Marking it early is useful, since the story eventually points you back to the same spot.

The quest chain that opens the valley

Everything runs through the main story. Fragrant Colors is the quest that walks you to the gorge, and the two quests after it take place inside.

QuestWhat it covers
Fragrant ColorsSea of Flowers tasks, Irisal, catching a Lumenfly
The Land of Dancing IllusionsLighting the incense, entering the valley
The Land Where Dreams Come TrueDream blossoms, the Bloom, Lady Velouria

Fragrant Colors sends you to study the flower-type Aniimo, which includes standing inside a ring of dancing Iris and waking the area boss Irisal. Its third task, catching a Lumenfly, is what leads you to the valley opening.


Open the barrier and get inside the valley

Check your Log. The active objective should read “Light the incense and open the barrier to Lumenfly Valley.” If it says anything else, you still have Fragrant Colors tasks left.
Walk up to the purple incense burner sitting in front of the barrier and light the incense Sunia hands you. A cutscene plays and the path opens.
Twine with a Flutternym before you go in. Lady Velouria’s voice explains that the valley is open to Flutternym only, and Sunia has her blessing while you and Nicole do not. Without the transformation you get pushed back to the entrance. Nicole stays behind either way.

Flutternym spawn in the Sea of Flowers, so catch a spare before you light the incense if you do not already have one on your team.

Fly into the cave. A pale blue, semi-transparent Flutternym leads the way through the misty caverns and clouds of glowing butterflies while dialogue plays.

Fly the dream blossom path to the Bloom

Once you are deep enough into the valley, the quest rolls over to The Land Where Dreams Come True with the objective to talk to Snowy. From here the route is vertical, and the game marks it for you with light.

Glide over to the first glowing, transparent blossom and touch it. It bursts into butterflies and a story memory about Velouria and Irelia appears.
Ride the illuminated wind stream that opens up and fly through the blue butterflies to collect them. The stream is the path, so stay on it rather than trying to cut across the gorge.

Repeat the same routine at the second blossom higher up, which unlocks the memory titled Chasing Prismana. Each blossom you clear extends the path further up the gorge.
Keep climbing. A third memory, Velouria’s Shadow, plays as a cutscene prompt before you resume gliding toward the throne at the top.

Land on the floating platform partway up and interact with the Lumenfly Valley Bloom. Activate it before you fly on to Lady Velouria’s throne, because the fight up there ends the sequence and moves you out of the valley.

Confirm the teleport is active

The Bloom lights up the moment you touch it and the Lumenfly Valley marker switches from locked to a usable fast travel point on your map. That is the only check you need, and it happens before the encounter at the throne.

After the Bloom, follow the last stretch of path up to Lady Velouria. Untwine from Flutternym first and bring something with real damage, such as Helion, Lunara, or a Flameruff. Land BREAK attacks to stun her, dodge often, and run into the glowing circle beneath her when she starts her special, since standing outside it can kill you outright. You cannot win the fight. Drop her health low enough and it stops; go down and it also stops. Either way Sunia wakes up, and you are moved back outside the valley to rejoin Nicole.

From that point the valley is permanently open. You can warp straight back in through the Bloom to explore, and Gracewing, the evolved form of Flutternym, begins spawning inside.
