Higgledies are a big help throughout Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom. These little elemental creatures back you up in combat with special skills and abilities, but they can be tricky to find and recruit.
There are 30 higgledy stones scattered throughout the game, with each stone giving you access to a new higgledy for your party. All of them are hidden in dungeons, which means that you won't find any on the world map, in towns, or in the Dreamer's Maze.
Once a stone is found, you'll need to present a specific item. You're given a hint as to what this item is, but sometimes it's still not totally clear.
In this guide, we'll be walking you through each stone's location, and we'll let you know which items you'll need to offer.
Note that some stones can't be accessed until you reach certain points in the game. They may require the use of a vehicle or environmental magic spell.
