✨ 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.
ℹ️ 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.
📅 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.

📸 Best Viewing Locations
While the sky changes across the map, higher elevations and open areas provide the best backdrop for photos.
🏔️ 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.
🏡 Residential Streets
Many players report beautiful views right from the street outside their homes. It's a perfect opportunity for a neighborhood photo shoot!
