If you’ve been grinding Infinity Nikki’s endgame content lately, you’ve probably heard other players rave about the Bedrock Crystal Hurl skill. It’s easily one of the strongest AOE earth skills in the game, capable of wiping out entire waves of mobs and chunking boss health bars by 20% or more with a single cast. I spent three whole days running in circles trying to figure out how to get Bedrock Crystal Hurl Infinity Nikki before I stumbled on the correct hidden quest path, so I put together this guide to help you skip all the frustration I went through. No wasted resources, no missed spawn windows, just straightforward steps to unlock this game-changing skill fast.
What You Need Before You Start to Get Bedrock Crystal Hurl Infinity Nikki
You can’t trigger the hidden quest for this skill if you don’t meet a few basic prerequisites first, so double check this list before you head to the Craggy Peaks zone. First, you need to be at least account level 42 with a level 3+ earth attunement on your main build. If your earth attunement is lower than 3, the quest NPC won’t even show up for you, no matter what time you show up at the spawn point.
You also need to have completed the first three side quests in the Craggy Peaks story line, titled the “Craggy Peaks Survey” chain. Most players skip these side quests to rush to the higher level zones, but they’re non-negotiable for unlocking this skill. You’ll also need 1200 star coins to pay for the quest activation fee, 15 empty inventory slots for the quest materials, and at least one free skill slot on your build to equip the skill once you unlock it.
I skipped checking these requirements my first two attempts, so I wasted four hours running around the zone looking for an NPC that wouldn’t spawn. Don’t make that same mistake. If you’re missing any of these prerequisites, take 30 minutes to wrap them up first before you start the unlock process.
Step-by-Step Hidden Quest Walkthrough for Bedrock Crystal Hurl
Once you’ve checked all the prerequisites, you’re ready to start the actual quest. The entire process takes about an hour and a half if you don’t run into any mistakes, and the steps are as follows:
- Fast travel to the Craggy Peaks South Summit waypoint at dawn in-game time – the quest only triggers between 5am and 7am game time, if you show up later the NPC will be gone until the next in-game day.
- Speak to the wandering geologist NPC Kael, who will ask you to collect 15 pristine bedrock shards from the crystal caves 200 meters west of the waypoint.
- Defeat the 3 crystal golem mini-bosses guarding the cave entrance, then collect the shards from the glowing crystal clusters at the back of the cave.
- Return to Kael before in-game dusk to turn in the shards, and he will give you the sealed Bedrock Crystal Hurl skill scroll.
A quick tip for the crystal golem fight: don’t use fire skills. Golems have 70% fire resistance, so you’ll do barely any damage and waste a ton of healing items. Use water or neutral skills instead, and aim for the glowing crystal on their chests to hit their weak point for double damage. I died twice my first run because I brought my fire build, so switch out your skills before you head to the cave.
You also only want to collect shards from the glowing blue crystal clusters at the back of the cave. The grey clusters scattered near the entrance only drop common crafting materials, not the pristine shards you need for the quest. I wasted 20 minutes hitting every cluster in the cave before I noticed the difference, so save yourself the time and head straight to the back.
How to Unseal the Bedrock Crystal Hurl Skill Scroll
The scroll Kael gives you is sealed, so you can’t equip it right away. You’ll need to complete a short unsealing ritual first, which requires a few extra materials and a little bit of timing. First, you need 5 core earth essences, which drop from the weekly Craggy Peaks world boss, or you can buy them from the guild shop for 300 guild points each if you don’t want to wait for the weekly boss reset.
Once you have the essences, fast travel to the Bedrock Altar waypoint in the center of the Craggy Peaks zone. The altar only activates during in-game thunderstorms, so if the weather is clear or rainy, you can either wait for the weather to change or use a weather alteration scroll to trigger a thunderstorm instantly. Weather alteration scrolls cost 200 star coins each, so only use one if you don’t want to wait around for the weather to shift on its own.
When you activate the altar, you’ll have to survive 3 waves of crystal enemies for 2 full minutes to complete the unsealing. The enemies hit pretty hard, especially if you’re playing solo at level 42 or 43. We recommend bringing a friend with a healing build if you can, to make the waves a lot easier to get through without dying. If you do die during the ritual, you’ll have to wait 24 in-game hours to try again, so it’s worth taking the extra time to make sure you’re prepared before you activate the altar.
Once you survive the 2 minutes, the scroll will unseal automatically and be added to your skill inventory. You don’t have to do any extra steps to claim it, just head to your skill menu to equip it whenever you’re ready.
Common Mistakes to Avoid When Unlocking This Skill
I made almost every possible mistake when I was unlocking this skill, so I’m listing the most common ones here to help you avoid them. First, don’t try to farm the pristine bedrock shards when it’s raining in-game. The shards get covered in mud when it rains, so you won’t be able to collect them even if you hit the right blue clusters. Wait for clear weather, or use a weather scroll to clear the rain before you head into the cave.
Second, don’t use the scroll until you have enough skill points to equip it. You need 8 skill points minimum to unlock and level up Bedrock Crystal Hurl, and if you use the scroll before you have enough points, it’ll sit in your inventory taking up space with no way to sell or trade it. It’s not the end of the world if you do this, but it’s annoying to have to wait to use a skill you worked so hard to unlock.
Third, don’t sell any bedrock shards you collect early game for extra gold. A lot of new players do this because they don’t know the shards are used for this hidden quest, and then they have to spend extra time re-farming them when they get to endgame. If you’re not sure if you need a material, just store it in your bank instead of selling it.
The last big mistake I see players make is skipping the Craggy Peaks side quests. Make sure you've completed the "Craggy Peaks Survey" side quest line first before you head to the South Summit waypoint. If you haven’t finished those quests, Kael the NPC won’t spawn at all, and you’ll waste hours looking for him. The side quests only take about 40 minutes to complete, so it’s worth knocking them out first.
Unlocking this skill might feel like a lot of hoops to jump through at first, but the payoff is more than worth it. Once you get Bedrock Crystal Hurl Infinity Nikki, you’ll notice a huge difference in how fast you can clear exploration zones, beat weekly bosses, and climb the casual PVP leaderboards. I still use it as my primary AOE skill on my main earth build months after unlocking it, and I haven’t found any other skill that comes close to its combination of damage and stun utility. If you follow the steps in this guide, you’ll have it added to your skill bar in less than two hours, no guesswork required.
