How to solve the Infinity Nikki Whimstar Yarn Ball puzzles

Managed to spot Whimstar Yarn Ball before Infinity Nikki tells you how to solve them? Here’s what they want from you.

If you took the platforming lessons to heart during the tutorial, chances are you’ll scramble onto the rooftops of Florawish long before you see every helpful hint and how-to. For the Whimstar Yarn Balls found atop some houses, the solution isn’t always clear.

How to solve Infinity Nikki Whimstar Yarn Ball puzzles

As soon as you enter Florawish, there’s a good chance you’ll find a Whimstar Yarn Ball on top of someone’s home. This little bundle of fabric unravels into a full-blown Whimstar once you solve its silly game.

But when interacting with it, all you’re shown is a top-down view of your location and a ring that expands out to cover a set radius. What do you do with that?

The solution to these Whimstar yarn balls is simple in hindsight: find the star-shaped object or motif in the area and the Whimstar is yours.

That’s where things get creative. These stars can be incredibly well hidden. The tutorial Whimstar Yarn, which you might not find until you’ve been befuddled by a bunch of them, is a bright and whimsical graffiti of a star on a nearby wall.

Is it street art endorsed by the mayor? Does the Florawish guard know about this?

That one isn’t hard to miss, but many others are: we’ve seen the Yarn Ball star decorate the wheel of a cart, be the topper of a parasol, and even a hanging decoration outside a small window.

Get close enough to the Yarn Ball solution while the ring is in effect and you should see a prompt to interact with it. Once that’s done, you can head back to the Yarn Ball on the roof (or wherever you triggered it) to claim your Whimstar.
