Step-by-Step Unlock Guide
Step 1: Complete the 2.0 Main Story
Before attempting to reach Spira’s Shelldome, you must complete Infinity Nikki’s version 2.0 main story quest “A Place Blessed by the Mothershroom.” This storyline introduces you to Itzaland’s magical ecosystem and, most importantly, acquaints you with Swanara—the giant bird who becomes your key to reaching the shelldome.
Step 2: Navigate to Spira 3F
Teleport to any unlocked Warp Spire in Spira, then make your way to the topmost accessible floor marked as Spira 3F. This is the highest level you can reach through conventional platforming before needing Swanara’s assistance.
Step 3: Head Southwest to Swanara’s Nest
From the top of Spira 3F, follow the path heading southwest until you reach Swanara’s nesting area. You’ll pass the Shroomling Wall Warp Spire along the way, which serves as a helpful landmark to confirm you’re on the correct path.
Step 4: Call Swanara
Walk closer to Swanara’s nest and click the “Call” option to summon the giant bird. Swanara will appear and allow you to ride her directly to the shelldome level—the only method to reach this otherwise inaccessible area.
Step 5: Unlock the Warp Spire
After a brief cutscene, Swanara drops you right in front of Spira’s Shelldome Warp Spire. Simply walk up to it to automatically activate the fast travel point and claim your 20 Diamonds reward.

FAQs
Q: Can I reach Spira’s Shelldome without completing the 2.0 main story?
No, you must complete the version 2.0 main story quest to gain access to Swanara. The giant bird is the only method to reach the shelldome level, and she only becomes available after finishing “A Place Blessed by the Mothershroom.” There’s no alternative climbing route or glitch to bypass this requirement.
Q: Do I need to ride Swanara every time I want to visit the shelldome?
No! Once you unlock the Spira’s Shelldome Warp Spire by riding Swanara the first time, you can teleport directly to it from anywhere using your map. The initial Swanara ride is only necessary for the first unlock—after that, standard fast travel applies like any other Warp Spire in the game.
