▍Aether Gazer Countertide Whalesong Event Story
It’s time to celebrate the summer admins in the Countertide Whalesong story event. These story stages will introduce three new scenes, from the Desert Island, to the Snowflake 2 Deck, and the Underwater City, the focal point of this expedition.
You’ll also be able to take on a new boss, the Siren, a large leviathan-like creature!
▍Aether Gazer Countertide WhaleSong Event Games
Three new minigames are also being added to celebrate this event, with the first one being Azure Catch!
This minigame has you catching fish using Skadi and the snowflake 2, collecting them for analysis later. When you go fishing you can also pick up Dream Scale Dyes at random, and if you collect them in sets you’ll be granted shifted stars and Ain Soph coins as a reward!
The Oceanic Survey minigame is also coming, letting you surf around as Waverender Skadi while avoiding and taking down enemies under a time limit. Completing these stages will grant you Thundertusk Kali and even more shifted stars!
Lastly, the Unnamed Island exploration event has you taking a ship on a hexagonal grid to explore the surrounding waters for ruins and treasures, with hazards in your way that you’ll need to navigate around lest the Snowflake 2 goes under.
New simulations have also been added, along with an Access Key boost event and more stages to the Bubble Realm.
▍Aether Gazer Countertide WhaleSong Outfits
You can pick up the Summer Lovin’ outfit for Kuninotokotachi and Ookuninushi from the Shop, with both being available during the event’s duration, going away after August 1!
