While playing the Ceremony Preparations quest in Aniimo, you may have wondered what “Twine with Dewy” actually means. Let me tell you this: you are not alone. It is one of the more oddly worded objectives in the game. That said, the objective is straightforward and doesn’t require you to do anything out of the box (similar to ‘A Fragrant Journey side quest).
In this guide, I will explain how you can finish this objective with ease, along with the rest of the quest.
How to Twine With Dewy and Gather Duskwhispers in Aniimo
To Twine with Dewy, go to your Aniimo management inventory and add Dewy to your party. After that, get out of the menu and choose Dewy to Twine with him. Dewys are a wild Aniimo species with pink feathers and a white face. You can catch them near the quest area itself, without you having to wander far. Just throw your Aniipod at one upon spotting, and it will be added to your Aniimo list. Furthermore, if you are new to the game, this is not an NPC or a story character.
After Twining, a new objective marker will appear on your screen, guiding you to the Duskwhispers. You can head to the location and collect it when in Dewy’s form. Duskwhispers are a quest-specific resource and not something you can hoard by exploring the world. Hence, Twining with Dewy is the only way you can get your hands on this resource in Aniimo.
Ceremony Preparations: Quest Walkthrough in Aniimo
Twining with Dewy and gathering Duskwhispers is only a part of the Ceremony Preparations quest in Aniimo. This quest kicks off once you arrive in Bloomville. Moreover, it is a fairly long quest with multiple stops along the way before you can reach the Twine step itself. Here’s what you have to do before you can Twine with Dewy:
Enter Bloomville and activate the Bloom: This will be marked by the objective indicator in the game and will expand your map to the new area.
Talk to Sunia: She will be standing right in front of the Bloom and will greet you upon arrival. Talk to her to progress the quest.
Head to Plaza: Go to the Plaza area and examine the statue at its center. This will trigger a cutscene showing a vision from Aeolus.
Talk to Jessica (Optional Objective): This optional objective asks you to speak with Jessica in the Plaza. You can learn more about Aeolus and the Bloom Festival in Bloomville.
Greet the Elder: The elder is found inside a nearby house, which will be marked on your map. Head over to the location and greet him.
Talk to Selene: She is located near a building by Bloomville’s fields. She is the one who gives you the objective for gathering Duskwhispers.
After speaking with Selene, the quest will move forward, and this is where the game asks you to Twine with Dewy and Gather Duskwhispers.
Finishing the Rest of Ceremony Preparations Quest in Aniimo
Gathering Duskwhispers isn’t the end of the quest. After that, the game asks you to go through a perfume-crafting sequence. It involves the following:
- Bring the Duskwhispers to the nearby nest.
- Craft Duskwhisper Aromathysts.
- Take them to Arlo for processing.
- Learn how to make perfume from Sunia.
The game will offer you a short series of choices when crafting the perfume. The first two will not lock you out of progress, even if you pick the wrong options. Sunia will correct you. However, I recommend using ethanol as the solvent and stirring the mixture. The third choice is the one that can change your results. Here’s the list of ingredients and their perfume results:
- Iris Petals: Pink Shadow Draught
- Dewy Feathers: Blue Lake Down
- Flutternym Scales: Dreamy Mystery
Whichever ingredient you end up picking will determine the perfume you walk away with. It is worth deciding in advance what results you are looking for, rather than picking a random ingredient.
After crafting the perfume, do the following:
- Return to the elder’s house and set the time to night.
- Rest on the second floor.
- Check the mirror before leaving to claim a new outfit (Bloomville-themed)
- Head to the Bloom Festival outside, wrapping up the Ceremony Preparations quest in Aniimo.
That is the complete guide to the Ceremony Preparations quest, including the objective of “Twine with Dewy and Gather Duskwhispers” in Aniimo. Once you end this quest, the game will automatically start the next quest in line, called The Unbegun Ceremony.
