Bounce Shoes let you use Jump Pad magnets to reach higher places in Loftia. Their published recipe uses two Aluminium Bars, ten Resin and two Banana Leather; they are progression equipment, not a replacement for your Glider.
Follow the recipe objective in the Hanging Gardens
Continue Kassim’s story after Field Research. The public Everything Is Connected quest record lists going to the lookout, receiving the Bounce Shoes recipe and crafting the shoes before arranging travel to Gridfall. Follow the objective currently shown in your quest panel.
Some launch coverage associates the unlock with completing a Central Lake research page. That is not a reason to ignore an active lookout instruction or assume every bundle must be completed again. Check both the current quest and recipe list; these public sources do not establish an identical unlock sequence for every build. The research introduction helps separate donation progress from a recipe reward.
Prepare the refined materials
The recipe calculator and published shoes guide agree on the following shopping list. Use your current station panels to confirm quantities and tier requirements before processing.
| Ingredient | Finished amount | Reported raw input |
|---|---|---|
| Aluminium Bar | 2 | 10 Bauxite Ore |
| Resin | 10 | Gather Resin directly |
| Banana Leather | 2 | 6 Bananas |
Aluminium Bars and Banana Leather require refining rather than direct pickup of the finished components. The launch route points to mineral nodes in Hanging Gardens caves for Bauxite, trees in the Overgrowth for Resin, and Bananas for the leather. Tool requirements can block gathering even when the final recipe is visible; review Hammer upgrades before planning the trip.
Craft before testing a Jump Pad
Open the Bounce Shoes recipe at the Project Station and compare its requirements with the refined inventory. Public recipe coverage places the craft at Project Station Lv.2; use the station upgrade guide if that is the missing prerequisite. Recharge before the final craft if earlier processing has used your energy.
Once crafted, look for the Jump Pads associated with vertical traversal in the Hanging Gardens. The item record describes a key item that interacts with those pads. Do not assume that buying or equipping cosmetic footwear supplies the same function, or that the shoes make every ordinary jump higher. Use the interaction and movement prompts in your current build; no universal keyboard shortcut is asserted here.
Choose the next route for your goal
For Gridfall access, continue the story conversations rather than only testing the shoes. Everything Is Connected also lists Herb, Cliff, the Airtram and a delivery to Mita. For a high ledge or the Secret Lake, treat route planning as a separate task: the shoes do not supply glide distance or a safe landing by themselves.
Sources and version scope
This is a comparison of official feature information, a quest record and public crafting records. Unlock descriptions differ, so the active game panel takes priority over a fixed checklist.
