Complete guide to collecting all eight Blue Tears Album photos with expert strategies and common pitfalls to avoid
Understanding the Blue Tears Album Event
The Blue Tears Album represents a time-limited collection challenge introduced in Infinity Nikki’s 1.7 update, demanding players gather eight distinct photographs to complete the compilation. What makes this event particularly engaging is the mixed acquisition approach – certain images automatically capture during pivotal story moments, while others require deliberate photographic effort from players.
Key Collection Breakdown:
- When Nikki dons a new outfit and holds a lamp in her hand to collect Glimmerdrops
- Upon Nikki’s transformation after meeting Sith
- While Nikki says goodbye to Sith
Pro Tip: The automatic story photos cannot be missed if you complete the main narrative, making them the most reliable component of your collection. However, pay close attention to the manual photography requirements, as these often have specific environmental or timing conditions that can easily be overlooked.
Story-Based Photo Locations
This photograph can be captured while progressing through the “On Our Journey” World Quest within Infinity Nikki 1.7. As you approach the quest’s conclusion during evening hours, you’ll receive a prompt to photograph NPC Deanna under the cover of darkness. Successfully executing this nighttime portrait automatically transfers the image to your Blue Tears Album collection.
The Ethereal Blue Dance assignment mandates photographing ethereal dancing shadows as part of its completion requirements. Successfully documenting these spectral dancers with your in-game camera immediately registers the necessary photograph within the Blue Tears Album compilation.

Timing Considerations: The On Our Journey photo specifically requires nighttime conditions, so if you arrive during daylight, you’ll need to wait or use the game’s time acceleration mechanics. For the dancing shadows, ensure you position yourself at the optimal distance – too close and the shadows may not render properly, too far and the camera might not trigger the detection prompt.
Exploration Photo Locations
To acquire this particular photograph, you’ll need to ride the aquatic swing apparatus situated near the Serpentine Ruins within Breezy Meadow. Important note: access to this water swing remains locked until you successfully finish the “Divine Envoy’s Gift” Random quest. Navigate to the coordinates directly northwest of the Serpentine Ruins to locate this photography spot.
Once you’ve reached the correct position, mount the swing and activate your photographic interface. Wait for the system to recognize Nikki’s presence within the frame before capturing the image.
This snapshot must be taken while positioned before the Wishing Tablet located in Breezy Meadow. The Wishing Tablet functions as a temporary event arena discoverable on the island northeast of the Serpentine Ruins. You can instantly transport yourself to the Wishing Tablet using fast travel mechanics.
After arriving, simply position your character facing the Wishing Tablet and activate your camera to capture the image, which will then be added to your Blue Tears album.
The final Blue Tears Album photograph necessitates visiting the Blue Tear Bottle Shop and capturing an image with Croaker, the Tear Bottle Vendor. Locate the Blue Tear Bottle Shop beside the Meadow Wharf Warp Spire in Breezy Meadow. Transport to the Warp Spire, orient yourself northward, and you’ll spot the Blue Tear Bottle Shop positioned on the water adjacent to the lake’s perimeter.
Proceed to the establishment, position yourself before Croaker. Activate your camera interface, verifying that both Nikki and the Tear Bottle Vendor receive detection confirmation from the prompt. Then, capture the photograph to finalize your Blue Tears Album photo collection.

Navigation Efficiency: Plan your route to minimize backtracking. Start with the Wishing Tablet since it has direct teleport, then head to the water swing (after completing the prerequisite quest), and finish at the Blue Tear Bottle Shop which is conveniently located near the warp point. This route can save 5-10 minutes of travel time compared to random exploration.
Advanced Collection Strategies
Common Photography Mistakes to Avoid:
- Rushing Manual Photos: Many players snap pictures before the game’s detection system registers the proper elements. Wait for the camera prompt to confirm both subjects are detected.
- Ignoring Time Requirements: The On Our Journey photo specifically requires nighttime. Attempting during daylight will waste your effort.
- Missing Prerequisites: The water swing remains inaccessible until Divine Envoy’s Gift is completed – don’t attempt this location prematurely.
- Poor Composition: Ensure both Nikki and secondary subjects (like Croaker) are clearly visible and properly framed.
Optimization for Advanced Players:
- Complete all story content first to automatically collect those photos
- Use the interactive map feature to mark completed photo locations
- Group exploration photos geographically to minimize travel time
- Keep your camera equipped on a quick-access slot for immediate use
- Check your album progress frequently to identify missing photos
