Exploring the whimsical open world of Infinity Nikki means hunting down hidden scenic spots, rare styling materials, and secret quests scattered across every colorful biome, and one of the most sought-after locations for players right now is Loong Peak. If you’ve been stuck wondering how to get to Loong Peak in Infinity Nikki, you’re not alone — this high-altitude, cloud-wreathed area is tucked behind a few hidden unlock requirements and tricky platforming sections that trip up even seasoned players. I spent three evenings last week testing every possible route to the peak to help my guild members unlock the exclusive rewards there, so I’ve broken down every step, shortcut, and pitfall you need to know to reach the top without wasting hours of gameplay time.
Prerequisites You Need to Unlock Before Heading to Loong Peak
You can’t just walk straight to Loong Peak the second you start the game, no matter how hard you try. There are three non-negotiable requirements you have to meet first, and skipping any of them will leave you stuck at invisible barriers or sliding off unclimbable rock faces. I’ve had friends waste almost an hour glitching around the mountain edges before they realized they missed one of these unlocks, so double check this list before you start your journey.
You must complete the full Chapter 4 main story questline first. Loong Peak is part of the post-Chapter 4 open world unlocks, so the access path won’t even show up on your map until you wrap up the final “Bamboo Grove Farewell” quest in that arc. If you try to cross the boundary around the peak before finishing the chapter, the game will automatically teleport you back to the nearest fast travel point, no exceptions.
Unlock the upgraded Glide skill (level 2 or higher). The route to Loong Peak requires crossing three wide gaps between mountain ledges, and the base level Glide skill doesn’t have enough stamina to make those jumps even if you use a stamina consumable. You can upgrade the Glide skill by trading 10 Cloud Feathers to the skill NPC in the main town square, and you can collect Cloud Feathers from low-level flying enemies across the bamboo grove area.
Carry at least 3 Wind Blessing consumables in your inventory before you leave. Even with the upgraded Glide skill, you might misjudge a jump or get knocked off course by random wind gusts that spawn on the mountain, and these consumables will refill your glide stamina mid-flight so you don’t fall all the way back to the base of the mountain. You can buy Wind Blessings from any general goods NPC for 200 gold each, so they’re cheap to stock up on.
Step-by-Step Route to Get to Loong Peak in Infinity Nikki
Once you have all the prerequisites sorted, the actual trip to the peak only takes around 10 minutes if you don’t run into any mistakes. Follow this exact route, and you’ll avoid all the common traps that slow most players down.
Head northwest from the Bamboo Grove South fast travel point for 2 minutes until you spot a weathered stone arch half-hidden behind bamboo stalks. The arch is easy to miss if you’re not looking for it, so keep an eye on your mini-map for a small stone icon that will pop up once you’re within 100 feet of it. If you end up at the small river on the west side of the grove, you’ve gone too far, so turn around and head back toward the mountain edge.
Interact with the carved loong statue at the base of the arch to activate the permanent wind current leading up to the first ledge. The statue looks like a regular decorative rock at first glance, so you have to walk right up to it to get the interact prompt. Once the wind current activates, step into it and jump to be lifted 50 feet up to the first stone ledge on the mountain side.
From the first ledge, follow the carved stone steps up the mountain for another 3 minutes until you reach the second wind current point. You’ll see a small Wind Orb sitting on a rock to your left as you approach the second current — grab it first before activating the current, as it will fully refill your glide stamina so you don’t have to use a Wind Blessing consumable for the longer glide to the upper terrace.
There are a few common mistakes players make on this route that can add 20 minutes or more to their trip, so keep these rules in mind:
- Don’t try to climb the mountain from the west side — the rock faces are coded as unclimbable, and you’ll slide all the way back to the base even with max level Climb skill.
- Avoid the floating cloud platforms that appear to lead straight to the peak after the first glide — those are part of a separate side quest and will teleport you back to the bamboo grove if you step on them before accepting the quest.
- Don’t skip collecting the Wind Orb halfway up the route — it will refill your glide stamina for free and save you from using a Wind Blessing consumable.
Once you activate the second wind current, glide straight ahead for 20 seconds until you land on the upper terrace of Loong Peak. You’ll see a small stone path leading up to the very top of the peak from there, and it only takes another 30 seconds of walking to reach the summit.
Hidden Shortcuts to Cut Your Travel Time to Loong Peak in Half
If you’ve already explored the bamboo grove area a bit, you can use a few hidden shortcuts to skip most of the climbing and gliding sections entirely. These shortcuts won’t work for brand new players, but if you’ve put in a few extra hours of side content, they’ll let you reach the peak in less than 3 minutes.
The east side cave shortcut will only appear on your map if you’ve talked to the old NPC bamboo seller near the Bamboo Grove South fast travel point first. He’ll mention a hidden cave that leads straight up the mountain during your conversation, and once you finish talking to him, a small cave icon will pop up on the east side of the mountain on your map. The cave has no enemies or tricky jumps, so you can walk straight through it to reach the upper terrace of the peak without doing any gliding at all.
So if you have the Flying M mount unlocked, you can fly straight up to the peak’s lower terrace, skipping the gliding sections entirely. There’s a small wind barrier around the lower half of the mountain that blocks mounts, but it disappears once you complete the Loong Peak Prelude side quest you can pick up from the bamboo seller NPC. I use this shortcut every time I need to run the weekly boss on the peak, and it cuts my travel time down to less than a minute flat.
One small trick I discovered by accident last week: if you jump immediately after stepping into a wind current instead of waiting for it to lift you all the way up, you’ll get a 10% speed boost to your glide that lets you cross the gaps between ledges even faster. It’s a tiny difference, but it adds up if you’re making the trip multiple times a week for weekly rewards.
What to Do Once You Reach Loong Peak
Getting to the peak is only half the fun — there are tons of exclusive rewards and hidden content waiting for you once you get to the top, so don’t just take a screenshot and leave immediately. I’ve been back to the peak at least a dozen times now, and I still find new small secrets every few visits.
Make sure you interact with the small shrine at the very top of the peak to unlock the Loong Peak fast travel point first. This will let you teleport straight to the peak whenever you want in the future, so you never have to make the climb again. It’s easy to miss the shrine if you’re focused on the view, so look for the small stone structure with the glowing blue flame on the highest point of the summit.
Don’t leave the peak without collecting the 3 hidden Loong Tokens scattered across the upper ledges. These small, gold tokens are tucked behind rocks and in small crevices around the peak, and you can trade 3 of them to the bamboo seller NPC for the exclusive 4-star Loong Scale Hairpin styling item. The hairpin is only available from this trade, so it’s a rare item that most players don’t have.
There’s also a hidden photo spot near the edge of the peak that gives you 50 free diamonds the first time you take a screenshot there, and a weekly boss spawns on the peak every Wednesday and Saturday that drops rare crafting materials for 5-star outfit sets. I was surprised to find that the weather on Loong Peak changes every in-game day, so if you’re going for a specific photo aesthetic, you can wait for sunny or snowy weather by resting at the small campsite near the upper terrace.
Figuring out how to get to Loong Peak in Infinity Nikki doesn’t have to be a frustrating process if you come prepared with the right unlocks and follow the correct route. I’ve run this path a dozen times now to help my guild members reach the peak, and the tips I’ve shared here will cut your travel time down to less than 10 minutes even if you’re playing the game for the first time. Once you’re at the top, take a minute to enjoy the view — it’s one of the most beautifully designed areas in the entire game, and the exclusive rewards are more than worth the small effort it takes to get there.
