Updated September 23, 2026
The Irisalis Legendary event gives you a new collection goal in Aniimo: collect enough Irisalis Petals to craft the Legendary Aniipod: Irisalis.
You need 99 Petals for the first Legendary Aniipod. The good news is that Petals come from several different parts of the game, so you do not have to rely on a single grind.
This guide breaks down every major Petal source, how to prioritize them, what to prepare before crafting the Aniipod, and what happens once you have enough..
Quick Answer
You need 99 Irisalis Petals to craft the Legendary Aniipod: Irisalis. Reach Student I, check your available Petal sources, claim the rewards you have already unlocked, collect the exploration Petals, and finish the remaining progression activities that are closest to completion. Once you craft the Aniipod, the Irisalis encounter becomes available.

How Many Irisalis Petals Do You Need?
You need 99 Irisalis Petals to craft the Legendary Aniipod: Irisalis.
The Petals are collected through normal progression, exploration, first-clear rewards, challenges, and event activities. That means you can build toward 99 while continuing your normal Aniimo progression instead of treating the Petals as a completely separate farming system.
The main documented Petal sources add up to more than the 99 required for the first Aniipod, giving you some flexibility over which activities you complete.
If you are already close to 99, do not immediately start farming everything. Check which sources you have left first.
How to Check Your Irisalis Petal Progress
Before spending time farming Petals, check the Irisalis event's How to Obtain information.
This is important because several Petals are tied to activities you may have already completed or are already close to finishing.
Start by checking:
- Your current Irisalis Petal total
- Completed story rewards
- Unfinished Journey Quests
- Branch Nurture progress
- Aniimo Topic rewards
- Silver Badge progress
- Alpha first clears
- Exploration pickups
- Elite Pathfinder Challenge rewards
- Tracing the Trail rewards
- Available weekly event sources
Don't farm blindly
For example, if you already have 86 Petals, you only need 13 more.
There is no reason to complete every remaining Petal source.
Instead, look for the easiest unfinished rewards that can take you from your current total to 99.
All Irisalis Petal Sources
The main Petal pool comes from several different progression systems.
Main Story — 12 Petals
The main story provides 12 Irisalis Petals in total.
These are awarded during the later chapters of the main story, so players progressing normally can accumulate a useful portion of the 99-Petal requirement without specifically farming for them.
If you are still working through the story, keep progressing rather than stopping to search for separate Petal activities.
Journey Quests — 10 Petals
Journey Quests provide another 10 Petals.
These are especially useful if you already have unfinished regional content. Check your Journey Quest progress before spending time on more demanding activities.
Branch Nurture — 18 Petals
Branch Nurture rewards provide 18 Petals.
If you have already been developing your progression branches, check whether any remaining milestones can be claimed.
This is one of the larger Petal sources, so it can make a noticeable difference when you are trying to close the gap to 99.
Aniimo Topics — 16 Petals
Aniimo Topics provide 16 Petals.
Check your existing Topic progress before deliberately grinding new entries. You may already have several rewards available from Aniimo you have captured or activities you have completed.
Gathering — 8 Petals
Exploration and gathering provide 8 Petals.
These are worth checking because they can be collected independently of several progression systems.
If you are missing only a small number of Petals, these exploration rewards can be a convenient way to finish the requirement.
Alpha First Clears — 17 Petals
First-time Alpha clears provide 17 Petals in total.
The important part is first-time.
Do not treat repeated Alpha fights as an unlimited Petal farming method. If you have already claimed the first-clear reward, repeating the same encounter is not the way to continue building your Petal total.
Silver Badges — 14 Petals
Silver Badge progression provides 14 Petals.
Check your existing badge progress before deliberately chasing difficult objectives.
If you are already close to a relevant milestone, completing it can be more efficient than starting a completely new activity.
Elite Pathfinder Challenge — 7 Petals
The Elite Pathfinder Challenge provides another 7 Petals.
This is worth checking when you are short of the 99-Petal requirement, particularly if you are already progressing through the related challenge content.
Tracing the Trail — 5 Petals
Tracing the Trail provides 5 Petals.
If the event is currently available to you, check its remaining clues and rewards before moving on to more time-consuming activities.
How to Reach 99 Petals Faster
You do not need to approach the Petal requirement as one giant grind.
The better strategy is to work through the sources according to what you have already unlocked.
1. Check your current total first
Write down your current Petal count.
This gives you a specific target.
For example:
- 40 Petals → need 59 more
- 70 Petals → need 29 more
- 85 Petals → need 14 more
- 95 Petals → need only 4 more
This simple check can prevent a lot of unnecessary grinding.
2. Claim rewards you are already close to earning
Look at your:
- Story progress
- Journey Quests
- Branch Nurture
- Aniimo Topics
- Silver Badges
- Challenge progress
Prioritize activities where you are already close to the next reward.
3. Collect the exploration Petals
If you have not collected the available gathering Petals, they are worth checking before committing to longer progression tasks.
There are 8 Petals tied to gathering/exploration, which can be enough to finish a large part of a remaining gap.
4. Check Alpha first clears
If you still have unclaimed Alpha first-clear rewards, add them to your checklist.
With 17 Petals available from these first clears, they can make a major difference if several remain unfinished.
5. Finish the easiest remaining challenges
After checking your progression rewards, look at:
- Elite Pathfinder Challenge
- Tracing the Trail
- remaining Silver Badge objectives
- Aniimo Topic rewards
Pick the activities that require the least additional work for the Petals you still need.
6. Use weekly sources when necessary
The Irisalis event also introduces a weekly-limited source of Iris Petals.
This gives players another way to continue building their total during the event rather than depending entirely on the main documented sources.
If you are short of 99, check the currently available weekly rewards before assuming you have to complete every remaining source.
Which Petal Sources Should You Do First?
There is no reason to follow exactly the same order for every player.
Use this priority system instead:
1. Already-unlocked rewards
Claim Petals sitting behind rewards you have already earned.
↓
2. Nearly completed objectives
Finish activities where you are only one or two steps away.
↓
3. Exploration and gathering
Collect the available world Petals if you have not already done so.
↓
4. Alpha first clears
Complete unclaimed first-clear rewards.
↓
5. Remaining progression challenges
Work through Silver Badges, Elite Pathfinder Challenges, Aniimo Topics and similar activities.
↓
6. Weekly event sources
Use the event's weekly Petal supply for whatever gap remains.
Example: You have 90 Petals
You only need 9 more.
Do not start clearing large sections of the game.
First check whether you have:
- a few unclaimed Topic rewards
- an unfinished Silver Badge
- a nearby gathering Petal
- a Tracing the Trail reward
- an easy challenge reward
The goal is not to complete every Petal source.
The goal is simply to reach 99.
What to Prepare Before Crafting the Legendary Aniipod
Getting 99 Petals is only part of the preparation.
Before crafting the Legendary Aniipod: Irisalis, make sure you have:
Reach Student I
The Irisalis Legendary event requires your character to reach Student I.
If you have not reached that promotion yet, make it your first priority.
Check Your Combat Team
The Legendary Aniipod leads into an actual Irisalis encounter.
Make sure your main combat Aniimos are properly leveled and that you have a team you are comfortable using.
If you are still building your early roster, our Aniimo Best Early Aniimo: 10 Creatures Worth Investing In Long-Term guide can help with long-term investment decisions.
Prepare Recovery Options
Bring the recovery items and combat setup you normally rely on for difficult encounters.
There is little benefit in reaching 99 Petals and then entering the Legendary encounter with an unfinished team.
Check Your Aniimo Progression
If you have been investing heavily in an Aniimo you plan to use against Irisalis, this is also a good time to review its Potential and progression.
Our Aniimo Potential Guide: Innate & Acquired Potential Explained covers how Potential works and which parts of the system affect individual Aniimo development.
How to Get the Legendary Aniipod: Irisalis
Once you have the required Petals and meet the event requirements, the process is straightforward.
Step 1: Collect 99 Irisalis Petals
Build your total from the available story, exploration, progression and event sources.
Step 2: Craft Legendary Aniipod: Irisalis
Spend the required 99 Petals to craft the personal Legendary Aniipod.
Step 3: Enter the Unlocked Rift Space
Crafting the Aniipod unlocks the Rift Space where Irisalis resides.
Step 4: Complete the Irisalis Encounter
Enter the encounter and defeat Irisalis.
Step 5: Use the Legendary Aniipod
The crafted Aniipod is used to complete the Irisalis capture after the encounter.
For the full encounter and capture process, continue with our Aniimo Irisalis Guide: How to Unlock & Capture the First Legendary Aniimo.
That guide covers the Irisalis encounter itself, while this page focuses on getting the Petals and preparing for it.
What Happens After Crafting the Aniipod?
Crafting the first Irisalis Aniipod is not the end of the event progression.
After you successfully befriend Irisalis, you also unlock its exclusive Transmog ability.
The event also introduces additional Legendary Aniipod crafting through its Blessing Gifts progression, giving Irisalis Petals value beyond the initial 99-Petal requirement.
So if you collect additional Petals after getting Irisalis, do not assume they are automatically useless.
Check the current event rewards before spending them elsewhere.
What to Do With Extra Irisalis Petals
If you collect additional Irisalis Petals after crafting the first Legendary Aniipod, check the current event rewards before spending them.
The event introduces additional Legendary Aniipod crafting through its Blessing Gifts progression, so extra Petals can still have value beyond the initial 99-Petal requirement.
