Sunfire Phantasms are a Ley Line phenomenon that occurs when the land phases between Whitenight and Evernight, causing energy to gather and disperse. This can cause objects to be hidden or become visible.[1]

During Whitenight, Sunfire Phantasms will manifest as distortions in the air. These distortions typically indicate the location of an interactable object, which the player must switch to Evernight to reveal.

Interactable objects that may display as Sunfire Phantasms during Whitenight include Key Sigil seals and Elemental Monuments.

Of Sun and Moon
Tutorial Of Sun and Moon 1
If you possess the Golden Bridle of Enkanomiya, you will have the authority to activate mechanisms that switch between Evernight and Whitenight. Such mechanisms, which can be found throughout Enkanomiya, are connected to the Dainichi Mikoshi and can be used to modify the day-nightcycle.
Enkanomiya appears different in the Evernight and Whitenight states. Use this ability to switch between day and night well in order to uncover the land's secrets.

Shield-Lights of Tokoyo present during Whitenight are dispelled during Evernight and vice versa.

Tutorial Of Sun and Moon 3
There are certain distortions in the air visible in Enkanomiya, which are known as Sunfire Phantasms.
Switching between day and night can cause these illusions to disperse or show themselves.

Lore[]

After the creation of the Dainichi Mikoshi, the people of Enkanomiya began to observe some special phenomena — the mirages during Whitenight and the Sinshades during Evernight — which they indiscriminately referred to both as "Eidolons." It was not until the arrival of Orobashi that they were able to understand them and named the mirages "Sunfire Phantasms" and the Sinshades "Ghostfire Phantasms".[2] In time, they learned to manipulate the Sunfire Phantasms and would use them to purposefully hide things, such as secret entrances.[1]

Trivia[]
