Infinity Nikki's Forced Perspective Puzzler: How I Snapped the Perfect 'Flowers in Three Vases' Illusion
Master the art of forced perspective photography in Infinity Nikki to solve the 'Flowers in Three Vases' puzzle. Discover how to cleverly use camera angles to create stunning visual illusions and complete this brain-tickling quest.
Ah, Miraland. A place where your fashion sense is your sword and your camera is your shield. As a seasoned stylist and shutterbug, I've learned that some of the most brain-tickling challenges in Infinity Nikki don't just involve mixing and matching outfits, but also mastering the art of photographic trickery. Forget just looking good; sometimes you have to make the scenery lie for you! One such delightful head-scratcher is the "Forced Perspective: Flowers in Three Vases" quest. If you're stuck staring at an empty vase wondering where the florist ran off to, let me, a fellow creative, walk you through how I framed the perfect illusion.
This particular visual conundrum is nestled in the cozy, bloom-filled region of Florawish. The good news? You don't have to be a story mode veteran to find it. The prerequisite is simply completing another perspective-bending task nearby, the "Forced Perspective: Ship in a Bottle" quest down by the docks. Once you've proven you can fit an entire galleon into a tiny bottle (through camera magic, of course), you're ready. I warped over to the area near Veralyne's house, which is just across from the grand Mayor's Residence. There, I found the quest-giver, Toscani, looking thoughtfully at a house. He posed the challenge: create a photo that makes it look like there are flowers in three vases out front.

Seemed simple enough. I looked at the setup in the front yard. Sure enough, on the right side was a table with three charming blue vases. The two on the ends were cheerfully full of blooms, but the one in the center? Crickets. Empty as my snack cupboard after a long gaming session. My first instinct was to scour Miraland for a loose flower to plop in, but the game had a more clever, artistic solution in mind.
This is where Photo Mode becomes your best friend. I positioned myself in front of the table and activated it. As I panned the camera around, looking for clues, I noticed a beautiful detail I'd almost missed: a small, intricately woven tapestry hanging on the wall behind the table. Photo Mode kindly labeled it 'Embroidered Fabric,' and it was decorated with—you guessed it—a lovely floral pattern. Eureka! The game wasn't asking me to find real flowers; it was asking me to borrow some from the wall art.
The key was all in the angle. I spent a good minute or two (okay, maybe five) gently adjusting the camera:
🔍 Zooming in and out.
📐 Tilting the lens up and down.
🔄 Swiveling left and right.
I needed to make the embroidered flowers on the tapestry visually "sit" inside the mouth of the empty center vase. It's like trying to line up your thumb to eclipse the sun in a photo. When I finally hit the sweet spot, the magic happened. The game confirmed it by highlighting the target with the text 'Flowers in Three Vases.' Click! I snapped the shot, capturing the perfect illusion that the empty vase was now as full as its neighbors.
| What You See | What the Camera Sees (The Solution) |
|---|---|
| An empty vase & a wall hanging | A single, continuous image of a full vase |
| Two separate objects | One clever, combined illusion |
Triumphant, I showed my masterpiece to Toscani. He was impressed with the creative sleight of hand (or should I say, sleight of lens?) and handed over my well-earned loot:
✨ 10 x Diamonds
🎁 3 x Upgrade Packs
Now, let's talk about those Upgrade Packs. Don't just let them gather digital dust in your inventory! As of 2026, these are golden tickets for enhancing Momo's Camera. I immediately used mine to boost three core systems:
-
Poses: Unlocks more dynamic and expressive stances for Nikki. Essential for when a quest says "look surprised near that giant mushroom."
-
Lighting: Changes the mood, highlights details, and makes every photo pop. No more flat, boring snapshots!
-
Filters: Adds stylistic flair—vintage, vibrant, monochrome. Perfect for giving your photos a unique signature.
These upgrades aren't just for show; they open a huge array of new options for glamour shots, other photography quests, and future Forced Perspective puzzles that will undoubtedly get even more complex. Besides stumbling upon quests like this, my top tip for farming more Upgrade Packs is to religiously check your Expedition Handbook. Completing those challenges is a consistent and rewarding way to stock up on camera goodies.
So, there you have it! The "Flowers in Three Vases" quest is a brilliant little lesson in seeing the world—and your camera viewfinder—differently. It teaches you that the solution isn't always in your inventory; sometimes, it's in how you frame the world already in front of you. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to see if I can use a forced perspective to make my in-game wallet look fuller... a stylist can dream!
