Reach the Cloud and Claim the Reward
The Cloud Quest matters because it offers an easy way to earn Gold and Balloon Blocks without building a full boat or sailing through stages. Your goal is simply to touch the large cloud moving above your Building Space.
The challenge is timing, not complexity. The cloud travels back and forth overhead, so a compact balloon lift and a well-timed jump are much more useful than a large creation. Stay patient if it passes you; it will return.
| Quest detail | What to know |
|---|---|
| Main objective | Touch the moving cloud above your plot |
| Target movement | The cloud slowly travels back and forth |
| Height restriction | Builds cannot exceed 100 studs |
| Recommended lift | Balloon Blocks |
| First completion reward | 100 Gold and 25 Balloon Blocks |
Start with a clear plot whenever possible. Old builds can obstruct your view, make balloon placement awkward, or cause you to launch from an inconvenient position. You only need enough room for a seat and a simple upward route.
What You Need Before Starting
The standard method is accessible even to players with very few blocks. A seat gives you a stable starting point, while Balloon Blocks create the vertical movement needed to meet the cloud near its route.
| Item or condition | Purpose | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Seat | Gives you a simple launch position | Use the default seat if available |
| Balloon Blocks | Lift your setup upward | Use a small, controlled arrangement |
| Clear Building Space | Keeps your camera and path open | Remove unnecessary builds |
| Open camera view | Lets you monitor the cloud | Avoid tall blocks around the launch |
| No flying parts | Keeps the attempt within quest rules | Do not rely on flight components |
Do not overbuild. A wide platform, long boat, or decorative tower adds weight and makes positioning less predictable. The cloud does not require a vehicle to reach it; you only need to rise close enough to jump into it.
The quest’s height limit is important. Building too high wastes blocks and may prevent you from using the intended method. Instead, begin your ascent below the cloud’s path and let the moving target come to you.
Before activating the quest, check these basics:
- Clear blocks that block your view upward.
- Place or keep a seat at the center of your launch area.
- Attach enough Balloon Blocks for steady upward movement.
- Keep your build narrow so it rises without drifting.
- Set your camera so you can see the cloud’s position while ascending.
Step-by-Step Cloud Quest Walkthrough
Activate the Cloud Quest from your Building Space. Once started, the cloud appears overhead and begins moving along its route. It may not pass directly above you right away, so do not rush the launch.
| Step | Action | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Clear excess blocks from your plot | Gives you room and visibility |
| 2 | Start the Cloud Quest | Spawns the moving cloud target |
| 3 | Sit on your launch setup | Creates a reliable starting point |
| 4 | Activate the Balloon Blocks | Begins a controlled vertical ascent |
| 5 | Watch the cloud’s route | Helps you align beneath it |
| 6 | Jump when the cloud is directly below or beside you | Makes contact possible |
| 7 | Wait for the reward notice | Confirms successful completion |
Rise slowly rather than trying to gain horizontal speed. The best position is usually slightly above the cloud’s travel line, where you can watch it approach from below. If the cloud passes before you are aligned, keep your setup steady and wait for its next trip.
When the cloud is directly underneath your character, jump off the seat or platform. You do not need a complicated maneuver. A simple drop or short jump into the cloud is usually enough to trigger completion.
Camera control makes the timing easier. Look downward as the cloud approaches, especially after you have risen above its path. This gives you a clear reference point and prevents you from jumping too early.
Timing, Positioning, and Common Problems
Most failed attempts happen because players expect the cloud to remain stationary. It moves on a repeating route, so missing it once is normal. Keep your position stable and use the next pass rather than restarting immediately.
| Problem | Likely cause | Better approach |
|---|---|---|
| The cloud passes without contact | You launched or jumped too early | Wait until it is directly beneath you |
| Your build drifts away | Too much horizontal movement | Use a compact, vertical balloon setup |
| You cannot see the cloud | Old builds or poor camera angle | Clear the plot and look downward |
| You hit the height restriction | Your build is too tall | Begin lower and let the cloud approach |
| The setup feels hard to control | Too many blocks or attachments | Simplify the launch structure |
A good cloud attempt is mostly about waiting. Once you are at a reasonable height, avoid making unnecessary movements. The cloud will eventually cross your position, and staying steady gives you the clearest jump window.
Try to avoid these common mistakes:
- Building a large boat before starting the quest.
- Adding excessive Balloon Blocks just to reach maximum height.
- Using parts intended for flying when the quest restricts them.
- Chasing the cloud horizontally instead of waiting for its route.
- Jumping when the cloud is nearby but not actually below you.
- Restarting after one missed pass.
If you are new to the quest, treat the first attempt as a practice run. Watch how far the cloud travels and how quickly it returns. After seeing its route once, you can position your balloon lift more confidently.
The reward is granted immediately when you touch the cloud. If nothing happens, you likely missed the target or made contact with a nearby visual edge rather than the cloud itself. Reposition, wait for another pass, and jump again.
FAQ
What is the build a boat for treasure quest cloud objective?
The objective is to touch the large moving cloud that appears above your Building Space after starting the Cloud Quest.
What rewards do I get for completing the Cloud Quest?
The first completion gives 100 Gold and 25 Balloon Blocks.
Do I need to build a full boat?
No. A small setup with a seat and Balloon Blocks is enough for the normal method.
Why does the cloud keep moving away from me?
The cloud follows a back-and-forth route. Stay near its path and wait for it to return instead of trying to chase it.
Can I build above 100 studs?
No. The quest has a 100-stud construction height restriction, so keep your vertical setup compact.
When should I jump?
Jump when the cloud is directly beneath your character or close enough to make reliable contact. Looking downward helps you judge the timing.
