Aniimo, the open-world creature collector from Pawprint Studio, launched with a full run of story missions and a set of region-based side quests. The main story teaches the core loop of catching, Twining, and evolving your Aniimo, while side quests hand out currencies and materials as you explore Idyll.
Quick answer: Version 1.0 ships with 22 main missions played in a fixed order, plus a slate of optional side quests spread across regions like Bloomville, Mistwoods, and Echoback Landing.
All 22 main missions in Aniimo 1.0
The main story runs in a set sequence. Each mission unlocks automatically once the previous one is finished, and several later ones gate behind a level requirement and a promotion test with Dr. Lewis. Missions labeled “Promotion” are growth quests that raise your student rank and your Aniimo level cap.
| Order | Main mission |
|---|---|
| 1 | An Idyllic Trip |
| 2 | Aniimo Catching Journey |
| 3 | The Mysterious Cavern |
| 4 | Institution Initiation |
| 5 | Setting Out Again |
| 6 | Chasing the Clouds |
| 7 | Go to Boomville |
| 8 | Ceremony Preparations |
| 9 | The Unbegun Ceremony |
| 10 | Promotion: Dewdrop Crystal’s Resonance |
| 11 | Fragrant Colors |
| 12 | The Land of Dancing Illusions |
| 13 | The Land where Dreams Come True |
| 14 | Ancient Sacred Fragrance Part 1 |
| 15 | Promotion: Legacy’s Protection |
| 16 | Ancient Sacred Fragrance Part 2 |
| 17 | Promotion: Stardust’s Blessing |
| 18 | Promotion: Core’s Nurture |
| 19 | Ancient Sacred Fragrance Part 3 |
| 20 | Rainbow of the Ground |
| 21 | A New Journey |
| 22 | A Tale of Tide and Song |
Progress can stall around the promotion missions because they ask you to reach specific player levels. Clearing daily tasks, fighting Alpha Aniimo, and picking up Lumin Amber all feed extra Safari EXP to close the gap faster.
How side quests unlock
Side quests do not all appear at once. Most open up as you raise your world rank through growth quests, and several start simply by entering the right region or talking to a specific character there. A few are chained to story beats, such as defeating a named boss during a main mission.
- Raise your rank through main quests, catching Aniimo, and growth quests.
- Travel to the required region — some quests enter your log the moment you get close.
- Talk to the marked character or investigate the clue to trigger the quest.
Every side mission, region, and rewards
Side missions reward Glimmer, Credits, Fame, and Knowledge (EXP), with some handing out crafting materials or a themed item on top. The table below lists each side quest, where it takes place, and its rewards.

Side quests tied to story bosses
Some side missions only appear after you clear a specific fight during the main story. These are worth watching for, since it is easy to walk past them if you rush the critical path.
- Warrior — unlocks after you investigate the clue “the Inferlupa’s Flying Head” at Beast Fang Ridge.
- Binding Oath — opens after defeating the Tucking during Ancient Sacred Fragrance.
- Stars and the Knight — unlocks after beating Aged Omega Sherro during Ancient Sacred Fragrance.
- Island Adventure: Nightfall Tales — becomes available once you finish Helmut’s Island Adventure.
You will know a quest is complete when it clears from your active tracker and the rewards land in your inventory, with a confirmation for any milestone Glimmer or materials. Since the game is fresh out of launch, expect the roster of missions to grow as new regions and events roll out.
