Key takeaways

  • Requires a Fire-family Aniimo + Stellarys (Darkness) for the fights.
  • 6 Raw Flame Spirits + 3 Night Stones = materials for the evolution.
  • Steps 5 and 9 are at night — wait for nighttime in the game.
  • Step 6 requires 24 real-time hours of waiting — plan accordingly.

Prerequisites — What You Need Before Starting

A Fire-family Aniimo in your team: Emberpup, Flameruff, or Scorchhowl.
A Darkness-type Aniimo (Stellarys strongly recommended) for fights against Fire enemies.
Tumble Capsule for mass captures at step 7.
Patience — the quest spans several real-time days due to the timers.

Materials Required for Evolution

× 6 Raw Flame Spirits (Flameruff Spirits)

Obtained by defeating the Special Flameruffs of the quest (step 7).

× 3 Night Stones

Obtained by defeating Darkness-type Alphas. The Stellarys Alpha is the confirmed source.

Step-by-Step Guide — 11 Steps

  • 1
    Go to Beast Fang RidgeNortheast zone
    Head to the Beast Fang Ridge zone, in the northeast of the map. Follow the indicated path to find an old Inferlupa warrior who has lost his will to fight (after suffering too many defeats against Eco).
    💡 Prerequisite: have in your team an Emberpup, a Flameruff OR a Scorchhowl (any one of the family is enough).
  • 2
    Talk to the Inferlupa and fight him
    Interact with him. When the option appears, choose to fight him and defeat him. This fight is easy — it serves as an introduction to the quest.
  • 3
    Defeat the Scorchild AlphaDarkness recommended
    Locate the Scorchild Alpha on the map in the Beast Fang Ridge zone. Beat him. Darkness-type Aniimo are super-effective against Fire-type — this fight is accessible.
    💡 Stellarys (Dark-type) is strongly recommended for this entire quest.
  • 4
    Defeat Glynsera in the cave
    Locate the cave indicated on your map. You'll need a Fire-type Aniimo to unlock the passage (melt the ice / break the rocks). Fight all the Glynseras present and capture one (required for the quest).
    💡 There are several Glynseras in the cave — beat them all. Also capture the Boneskys (miniature versions) you cross.
  • 5
    Night Event — Talk to the Ember PupsNight only
    Wait for nighttime in the game. Find the small Ember Pups (small amber puppies) in the forest zone. With your Fire-family Aniimo active, talk to them and follow the story to the end.
    ⚠️ Must absolutely be done at night. Ember Pups are not present during the day.
  • 6
    Talk to Eco (Hiko) at the main camp24h real-time timer
    Return to the main camp and talk to Eco. Complete the two related missions: defeat the requested characters + have had the night conversations with the Ember Pups.
    ⚠️ If Eco isn't available: wait a full 24 real-time hours. The timer counts from the last reset of your account.
  • 7
    Defeat the Special Flameruffs — × 6 SpiritsSpecials only
    Return to the specific spot indicated. These are SPECIAL Flameruffs tied to the quest — not the regular wild ones. Fully drain their health bar to release their Spirits. Collect 6 Raw Flame Spirits. In parallel, capture several to find one with the right stats.
    ⚠️ These are not regular wild Flameruffs — only the specials in this zone count for the Spirits.
    💡 Use the Tumble Capsule for mass captures. Fast-travel to the closest teleporter to quickly respawn them.
  • 8
    Get 3 Night Stones
    Night Stones are obtained by defeating Darkness-type Alpha Aniimo. Confirmed example: fight the Stellarys Alpha in the zone to get a Night Stone per victory.
    💡 You need 3 Night Stones total. Irony: Stellarys drops the Night Stones AND is your best ally for the Fire fights of the quest.
  • 9
    Night Return (after 24h) — Final FightNight + 24h real-time
    After waiting a full day, return to the zone at night. Find the Ember Pup family again and talk to them. Fight the Inferlupa NPC again — he's stronger this time. The story concludes: the Flameruffs' spirits are revived.
    ⚠️ Must be done at night. The Inferlupa NPC is only present at night.
  • 10
    Talk to Eco + Pick up the Spirit Links
    Return to the main camp and talk to Eco to conclude the quest. Also collect the Spirit Links (small items on the ground) scattered around the quest zone — they're part of the mission elements.
  • 11
    Evolution — Flameruff → InferlupaFinal evolution
    Open the evolution menu on your Flameruff and the Inferlupa option is now available. Choose the one with the best stats (ideally look for +5 REGEN, +4 Crit Rate, or the stats suited to your playstyle).
    💡 Capture enough special Flameruffs during step 7 to be able to pick the perfect one before evolving.

Key takeaway

The timers (steps 6 and 9) are the only real blockers of this quest. Use the wait time to gather your Flame Spirits (step 7) and Night Stones (step 8) in parallel.

Troubleshooting

Eco isn't available: Wait a full 24 real-time hours. The timer starts from the last server reset, not from your last action.
The Inferlupa NPC isn't there: Make sure it is truly night in the game.
General blocker: Wait for a full reset (24 real-time hours) and come back. Most blockers are tied to server timers.
Stats to aim for on Inferlupa: Based on Beta 2 observations, players ideally look for +5 REGEN and +4 Crit Rate, or adapt to your strategy.
Beta note — This guide is based on Aniimo Beta 2. The Inferlupa quest is a full narrative quest — the steps have been confirmed by several players who completed the quest. Minor details may change at launch (2026).
