While 3 Grand Photos are required to complete Round 2 on Kodakda Island, capturing all 4 significantly increases your score and unlocks S-Rank rewards. Here’s how to locate each one efficiently.
Obtaining the Camera
- After entering the Studio via the Green Room, turn left.
- Locate three empty podiums and a camera on a stand—pick it up to start photographing targets.
- Proceed further left to meet Pippins, who provide four clues about the photo subjects.
Grand Photo 1: The Cactus
- From the starting point, head left into the jungle.
- Move downward and locate a lone cactus near palm trees. Capture its image to secure the first photo.
Grand Photo 2: The Geyser
- Take the central path from the starting area, sticking to the right side.
- Photograph Lancer’s shop sign showing a price of 999 points—this reduces the cost to 9 points.
- After purchasing Lancer, take him to the right door in the starting zone. He’ll unearth a green geyser—photograph it for the second Grand Photo.
Grand Photo 3: The Torn Flower
- From the geyser area, move right and use a raft to reach a southern dock.
- Solve the bridge puzzle and enter the flower field. Navigate to the torn flower at the top—photograph it for the third entry.
Grand Photo 4: The Red Antlion
- From the flower field, go left and upward to solve another bridge puzzle.
- Trigger the button to blast open a cave. Inside, quickly photograph the red antlion before it retreats—this completes your set.
Unlocking Rewards
- Place at least 3 photos on the podiums to summon a raft for island exploration.
- All 4 photos maximize your score, aiding in achieving S-Rank. Use the raft to confront Shuttah, a boss requiring precise photo timing.
