β¨ What is the Aurora Effect?
The Aurora Borealis (also known as Northern Lights) is a special weather phenomenon in Heartopia that lights up the night sky with shifting bands of green, pink, and purple light.
βΉοΈ Important: Unlike the Meteor Shower, the Aurora is a purely cosmetic event. It does not drop special items (like Star Fragments) and does not spawn unique fish or insects. It is designed for atmosphere and photography.
π When Does It Appear?
The Aurora is a night-time weather event. While it can appear randomly, your best tool for predicting it is your Smartwatch.

πΈ Best Viewing Locations
While the sky changes across the map, higher elevations and open areas provide the best backdrop for photos.
ποΈ Onsen Mountain
The high elevation of the Onsen Mountain area makes it the premier spot for viewing the lights. Try positioning yourself near the Crater Lake or the hot springs.
π‘ Residential Streets
Many players report beautiful views right from the street outside their homes. It's a perfect opportunity for a neighborhood photo shoot!
