What to do first

Use these notes as a safe starting route, then check the newest video or codes page for anything that changed.

Use the portal parking lot as your starting point

Start at the Nova Coast portal, then check the nearby parking lot first. This gives the route a reliable reset point when you are looping the island or joining friends for rift checks.

  • Start from the Nova Coast portal.
  • Check the parking lot and charging area.
  • Move on quickly if nothing is active.

Check the crosswalk behind the building

After the parking lot, move around the building and check the second crosswalk. This spot is easy to miss if you only fly over the main open areas.

  • Use the building behind the portal-side area as the landmark.
  • Look at the second crosswalk, not only the first road crossing.
  • Keep the route moving after the check.

Use the stage as the middle landmark

The octopus drummer stage is the clearest middle landmark in the Short. Check the stage area before moving toward the sports and dining areas.

  • Find the octopus drummer stage.
  • Check the open stage area for a rift.
  • Use the stage to orient the rest of the route.

Check the basketball court

The basketball court is another fast visual check. It works well in a loop because it is easy to recognize while moving across Nova Coast.

  • Check the basketball court after the stage.
  • Do not wait only at the court unless a group is coordinating there.
  • Keep moving if the server has no rift active.

End at the picnic and fine-dining area

Finish the loop at the picnic or fine-dining area. If nothing is active, rotate back to the portal-side checks or coordinate with Discord and livestream groups for more rift uptime.

  • Check the outdoor dining area last.
  • Loop back through the five spots if the server is quiet.
  • Use community rift parties when you want more attempts than solo checking can provide.
