  2. Attack Volleyball
  3. Getting Over It With Gestrals
  4. Platforming Race
  5. Rock Climbing

Platforming and Q&A

Platforming Beach Gestral
The First Gestral Beach has a platforming section where the player is meant to cross obstacles to reach a Gestral on the opposite side of the beach, on a broken pier. This can be tricky as the game's traverse is not fine-tuned for precise movement.

Use Lune to Blaze the Course

Platforming Beach Course
Lune has the ability to float while going on sprint. This exact floating capability makes her easy to move around the course as her pace is easier to follow than running characters.

Use her to traverse the course and be patient with jumping across the gaps. The course is very linear and the character you use will automatically grab onto ledges.

Upon reaching the end of the pier, talk to the small Gestral to acquire Gustave's Swimsuit.

Answer the Gestral's Question

Platform Rewards
The Gestral will still provide you Lune's Swimsuit if you answer a question he poses related to Gommaging. The correct answer here is 17 but regardless of your answer, they will give you the swimsuit.

You can either jump to the water to get teleported back at the start of the area or redo the course but no more rewards will be given if you finish it again.

Gestral Beach Question Guide

Attack Volleyball

Gestral Volleyball Difficulty
The Gestral Beach near Flying Casino has a minigame where the player will follow the attack timing mechanics in a three-stage raft volleyball competition.

The player must do a number of timed strikes to knock-out the opposing Gestral on the opposite side. Beating the three difficulties rewards the player with several items and swimsuits.

Gestral Volleyball Guide

Timing your Strike Button

Gestral Volleyball
This game tests the player ability to time their strike attacks but in a casual minigame setting. Do note that getting used to the timings are crucial in this game mode.

Whenever the Gestral throws the projectile at the player, they must time their Strike/First Attack Button to properly send it back.

Three Difficulty Options With Rewards

Gestral Volleyball Normal Reward
Beating the three difficulties nets the player with items and additional swimsuits the player can use for Lune and Sciel.

Getting Over It With Gestrals

Gestral Beach Getting Over It
The Gestral Beach near Monoco's Station features a familiar minigame referencing Foddian games that require players to climb up through tricky platforming sections, often falling back to the start if they fail.

This challenge takes the longest time to complete due to the potential amount of tries and attempts the player might go through. The course is also more complex, requiring rope sections and side jumps.

Use Lune for Precise Movement

Lune Float
Lune once again can shine in this stage as it follows the same need for better and precise movement while traversing and her floating capability makes it easier to judge her position when doing jumps and running.

Should the player manage to finish this minigame, the player will be rewarded with Monoco's Swimsuit.

Gestral Ascension Guide

Platforming Race

Gestral Race
The Gestral Beach near Sirene's Dress presents a platforming minigame very similar to the first, except now its with a timer! The player's goal is to be fast and beat the Gold record, which is 38 seconds to obtain all rewards.

Beat the Race in 38 Seconds

Gestral Race Finish
The platforms in this level are designed differently than the one at the first Gestral Beach and are mostly square platforms that require the player to blaze through them.

Best technique for this is to keep on sprinting and properly jumping on the correct platforms to reach the time. The player will be rewarded with materials and Verso's Swimsuit if the player beats it first time under 38 seconds.

Gestral Race Guide

Rock Climbing

Gestral Climb
The last Gestral Beach near Sunless Cliffs is a rock-climbing competition with a twist, there will be exploding balls that drop on the cliff-face, so avoiding them is a must to get up.

The Last Swimsuit

Gestral Climb Finish
Finishing this minigame requires the player to time their ascent and descent on the rock faces as the exploding balls will cause the player to fall and start again.

Once the player reaches the top, the Gestral will reward the player with Maelle's Swimsuit.
