How to Clear Shades of Aurorus

Get a photo of Aurorus with a pink colored back

If you can get a photo of an Aurorus with a pink colored back, you will clear this request. There are two different ways to do this.

1. Snap a photo of the Aurorus that breaks through the ice

If you lead the sleeping Jynx over to the crystabloom in the ice cave, they will summon an Aurorus. Snap a picture of it as soon as it appears, as there is a rather short window for it. This method is best, because it also allows you to complete the With Their Powers Combined request at the same time.

2. Snap a photo of Aurorus after it eats two fluffruit

Aurorus will also change colors if you feed it two fluffruit. For this, you can feed the Aurorus outside near the goal, but since there isn't a lot of time before you reach the goal, you'll need to zoom in to slow down and throw the fruit from a long distance.

You can also just hit the Aurorus near the end with a fluffruit, and it'll change color. A picture of that colour change completed the quest for me. 👍🏻
