Unlocking flight: the Taking Flight quest
Flight is not available from the start — you earn it through the Taking Flight quest given by the Boom NPC near spawn. The requirement is a combined Chakra and Agility total of roughly 10,000. Because Chakra is also your main damage-scaling stat for most Fruits and Specials, training toward flight rarely feels wasted.
To get there efficiently:
- Train Chakra by meditating inside the best Chakra training spot you can reach.
- Train Agility by jumping, ideally in an Agility spot.
- Use any active boosts and 2x events to speed up the grind.
- Once your combined total hits the requirement, return to Boom and claim the quest reward.
Summoning a strong Champion with stat multipliers helps you reach the threshold noticeably faster.
How to fly once unlocked
After completing the quest, flying is simple:
- PC: double-tap the Q key to take off; double-tap again to land.
- Mobile: tap the on-screen fly button.
- Faster Flight gamepass: your walk speed determines your flight speed, so investing in Speed makes flight much quicker.
See the full controls page for every keybind, including training and ability inputs.
Why flying matters
Flight changes how you play. It lets you:
- Hunt Fruits efficiently. Fruits glow and spawn around the map; flying lets you sweep spawn areas and reach elevated spots fast. See how to get Fruits and Fruit spawn locations.
- Travel between training spots without slow ground movement, which matters as you push into higher Dimensions.
- Reach map areas and crates that are awkward to access on foot, helping you farm Chikara.
Keep in mind that most boss arenas restrict flight, so your combat strategy should assume ground fighting. Flight is a mobility and farming tool, not a combat crutch. With it unlocked, the rest of your progression speeds up considerably, since you spend less time traveling and more time training and farming.
