Infinity Nikki, the popular open-world dress-up adventure, continues to captivate players with its blend of fashion and exploration. As of 2026, the game's intricate quests, like the enigmatic "Forced Perspective: Thuddy Snowman," remain a delightful challenge for both new and veteran players. This quest cleverly blends photography mechanics with environmental puzzles, requiring a keen eye and specific progression steps. For those who have ventured into the whimsical world of Infinity Nikki and found themselves perplexed by the request to photograph a snowman made of pumpkins, a clear guide is essential. The solution involves understanding the game's unique forced perspective mechanics, which are central to this side quest and offer valuable rewards.
Before players can even attempt the whimsical task of creating a "Thuddy Snowman" through photography, they must first complete a prerequisite quest chain. The journey begins after finishing the Chapter 4 main quest titled "Come on! Market of Mirth." Upon its completion, a side quest becomes available: "Repair the Ripple Estate Skypass." This is a mandatory step, as the repaired Skypass serves as the primary transportation method to reach the quest's starting location. Players must travel to the marked location on their map to initiate the repair. Once the Skypass is operational, it grants the ability to glide directly to Windrider Mill, the scenic area where the puzzle truly begins.
Arriving at Windrider Mill, players should immediately head to the northeast quadrant of the area. It is here they will find the NPC Sunkissed Stella. Engaging in a conversation with her is what officially starts the "Forced Perspective: Thuddy Snowman" quest. Her location is distinctly marked on the in-game map for ease of navigation. After accepting the quest from Stella, players need to turn their attention to the environment. Just northeast of where Stella stands is a distinctive landmark: a large pumpkin that has been converted into a house. The key photographic subjects are directly in front of this pumpkin structure.
The Photographic Subjects:
-
A pumpkin wearing a hat.
-
A pumpkin with two stick arms.
These two ordinary objects are the core components of the "snowman." The quest's charm lies in the illusion; there is no actual snowman to be found. Instead, players must use the game's camera and a specific vantage point to make these two pumpkins appear stacked on top of each other, thus forming the imaginary "Thuddy Snowman."
Executing the perfect shot requires precision. The process is methodical but straightforward once you know the steps:
-
Positioning: Stand near the quest-giver, Sunkissed Stella. This provides the correct starting point for the camera's angle.
-
Access Camera: Open the Ability Wheel and select the camera function to enter photo mode.
-
Angle Adjustment: This is the most crucial step. Rotate the camera downward so that it is pointing slightly upward from the ground. The goal is to align the two pumpkins in the viewfinder. Players will know they have the correct angle when the viewfinder frame turns a golden color, indicating the forced perspective alignment is successful.
-
Capture: Once the frame is gold, press the "Take Photo" input displayed at the bottom of the screen.
The moment the photo is captured, the puzzle is solved. However, the quest is not yet complete. Players must then show the photo to Sunkissed Stella. Presenting the successfully composed image to her will finalize the "Forced Perspective: Thuddy Snowman" quest. The satisfaction of solving the visual puzzle is matched by the tangible rewards, which remain valuable for progression in the 2026 meta of Infinity Nikki.
Quest Completion Rewards:
| Reward | Quantity | Primary Use |
|---|---|---|
| 💎 Diamonds | 10 | Premium currency for purchasing various items, including exclusive clothing sets and Crystals. |
| 📦 Upgrade Packs | 3 | Used specifically to make improvements and enhancements to the player's camera equipment. |
These rewards are particularly useful. Diamonds are always in high demand for acquiring rare fashion items and resources, while the Upgrade Packs directly feed into improving the photography system—a core mechanic for many other puzzles, collection goals, and memory-making in the game. Completing this quest not only adds to the player's narrative experience but also provides practical resources that aid in tackling future challenges. The "Forced Perspective: Thuddy Snowman" quest exemplifies Infinity Nikki's creative design, where fashion, exploration, and puzzle-solving intersect to create memorable in-game moments.
