Exploration: Gameplay

Discover fast travel with Trip Doors, unlock sidequests with exclamation points, and brave Dreamer's Mazes in Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom. Your adventure awaits!

Alright, let's talk about getting around and finding cool stuff in the world of Ni no Kuni II. It's not just about the main story; there's a whole lot of extra adventure waiting for you!

Trip Doors

You'll notice these glowing blue lights on the ground as you explore. Think of them as your fast travel points, kind of like little portals. The game introduces them to you in Chapter 2. Whenever you see one, just walk up to it and press the X button. This 'remembers' the door for you. Once it's remembered, you can teleport to it from pretty much anywhere in the game. To open the map and choose where to go, either press the Options button twice or just hold it down. Keep an eye out, because the bigger towns and dungeons will have multiple Trip Doors, making it super convenient to hop around!

Optional Content

Once you've progressed a bit in the main story, you'll start unlocking sidequests. These pop up all over the place, but you'll find most of them in the major towns and, of course, in your very own kingdom. The game gives you a clear signal: look for exclamation points (!) on your map. That's your cue that someone has a quest for you. While you can tackle many of these as soon as they appear, some might ask for items you won't get until later in the game, so don't get discouraged if you can't complete everything right away.

Beyond sidequests, there's even more to discover. You'll encounter something called Swift Solutions, which lets you take on Errands. These are basically fetch quests that reward you with Tokens of Gratitude. You can then take these tokens to the Swift Solutions NPC to recruit new citizens for your kingdom or trade them for useful items. You might also stumble upon locked doors in dungeons, known as Dreamer's Doors. These lead to randomized dungeons called Dreamer's Mazes. Be warned, the enemies in these mazes get tougher as a 'Danger Level' meter fills up. These are tied to sidequests, and the rewards can be pretty amazing if you're brave enough to venture inside!
