Guides › Irisalis: How to Get the Legendary Aniimo
How is the legendary Anipod tied to its story?
The order is unsettled: the exclusive story sequence is given both as what must be completed to unlock a legendary Anipod and as something triggered by crafting one, along with an encounter on the map.
This one is not settled.
Both versions are shown because the disagreement is itself information — usually it means the mechanic changed between beta builds.
Defeating the legendary Aniimo in its narrative encounter guarantees the catch.
The release version replaced the closed beta gacha system with this single scripted confrontation. Instead of spending Glimmer on random pulls, you craft a personal Legendary Anipod to track and face Irisalis directly on the map.
The pod serves as both key and capture device. Preparing the item requires Legendary Tokens collected through open-world exploration, standard catches, and main story milestones. Once the one-time boss battle is complete, throwing that specific pod seals the bond and unlocks Irisalis along with an exclusive transmog ability.
Not settled: The progression order is not consistent across the game. Certain objective descriptions state that completing an exclusive story sequence unlocks the legendary Anipod, while crafting the pod is elsewhere required to trigger the narrative encounter.
