Infinity Nikki Stonewoods Faction Challenge Guide

The Stonewoods is home to three of Infinite Nikki's, each of which presents new challenges for Nikki to face in her quest to create the Mystical Aurosa outfit. In this area, you'll face humans and Pieceys in your quest to find the Sovereign of Sexy and earn some rewards along the way. With all the outfits you've probably gathered by now, you should be prepared to take on the Factions of Stoneville.

The Stoneville region comprises Stoneville itself and the Abandoned District, home of the Pieceys. Pieceys are Whimstar-infused clothing that came to life after their owners died to continue their own lives in the District. Now, they will act as challengers and guardians of the Sovereign of Stoneville.

Raging Rocks Style Challenges

These Stoneville Stylists Mean Serious Business

The Raging Rocks are the only human faction found in Stonewoods, and they greatly represent the increase in difficulty of the Breezy Meadow factions you've already faced. There are four members in total, and you will need to face their leader to find any information about the Rustic Frenzy faction:

These themes are all tags you've seen before, and the only one that should cause problems is Lewen's. There aren't a ton of clothes with sexy tags so far Infinite Nikki, and those that exist are, at best, three stars. You can compensate a bit by upgrading your Eurekas to level 10, but you'll still need as many sexy outfits as you can find.

Frantic rustic style challenges

The first of many piecemeal style challenges

The Rustic Frenzy is a group of five Piecey stylists who have important information about the Shifty Rags, and you will need to pass all the challenges before moving on to the next faction. Again, its themes run the gamutso be prepared for anything when starting out:

As with Raging Rocks, the only problem you're likely to encounter is the sexy theme of the leader challenge, thanks to the lack of clothing in that style. If you want to spend some money, the Bibcoon clothing in the store is marked as sexy, or you can create the patterns you are purchasing for the Searching For Dreams clothing. In any case, entry-level clothing won't do here.

Shifty Rags styling challenges

The final faction of the Stonewoods is your last step towards overlordship

The Shifty Rags are isolated among the Pieceys; some only come out at night to do their shady business. Despite the name, its themes are light and sweet, with the boss looking for something a little sexier. This last faction in the Abandoned District will prepare you for the Sovereign of Sexy:

The first Shifty Rag is the hardest to find, but as long as you go at night to find it, you shouldn't have any problems. Encounters with this faction are all level seven, making them more difficult than the ones you faced in Florawish and Breezy Meadows, but as long as you keep upgrading your outfits you shouldn't have any problems. After defeating Sheldon, you will receive the world quest “Sovereign Challenge! Light up the sexy night.“

Sovereign of Sexy Style Challenges

Face two more hunks before meeting the sovereign

Jenny and Pomey will tell you that they are planning a big show for the reopening of the Ripple Estate winery. The Sovereign of Sexy is back, but if you want to challenge her, you will need to get some information about her whereabouts from the audition judges. Take on these stylists before you finally meet the Sovereign:

The challenge itself, for once, is underwhelming compared to the other Sovereigns' fully animated fashion showdowns. Nikki will dress up for the Sovereign and get a score as usual, but you won't proceed with the quest unless you get a perfect score. It's tricky to get clothes with sexy tags without pulling a banner, and for free-to-play players, that may not be an option at the moment.

Fortunately, there are many ways to earn free diamonds in Infinite Nikki, so be sure to complete journals and the like to maximize your earnings. If you agree to spend some money, the store's Bibcoon Realm outfit works in this challenge as long as you level up. You can also use the Whispers of Waves and Searching for Dreams outfits if you have already purchased them.

I had a hard time with this and my outfit was quite unique, to say the least. I managed to beat him and get a normal score without much difficulty, but a perfect score remains out of my reach. There is a distinct lack of sexy 5-star clothing in Infinite Nikki now, so don't worry too much if you don't defeat Sovereign of Sexy right away. You can still return to the Fashion Designers Guild and exchange your hard-earned medal for new crafting materials to create the Wishful Aurosa.
