Neverness to Everness Guide: How to Unlock the Blue Flame Bike
Unlock the Secret Blue Flame Skin for the Novis ST-X 950
Quick Answer: To unlock the secret blue flame effect, you must purchase the Novis ST-X 950 bike for 250,000 Fons and equip the Raging Flames Arc on an active party member. You earn this specific Arc by chasing down and defeating the Headless Rider boss at night.
The Best Kept Secret in NTE
You won’t find the coolest vehicle effect in Neverness to Everness sitting in a banner pull. Most players ride right past the blue flame bike because it isn’t an item you buy or roll for. It is a completely hidden visual transformation.
The blue flames are a secret cosmetic skin. They activate automatically, but only when you combine two very specific items: the Novis ST-X 950 bike and the Raging Flames Arc. The flames will not show up on your default starting scooter. They will not trigger on any other sports car or motorcycle in your garage. You have to use this exact combination.
Keep in mind, the effect is purely for style points. It does not boost your speed or add combat stats, but riding away from a boss fight with blue fire trailing your tires looks incredibly good.
How to Get the Blue Flame Bike
Step 1: Buy the Novis ST-X 950
Your first stop is the Regalia Vehicle Dealership located in the New Herland District, just east of the Bridge Crossings starting area. Talk to the receptionist and buy the Novis ST-X 950.
It costs 250,000 Fons, which is a massive price tag early in the game.

The starter scooter does not count for this secret, so the purchase is absolutely mandatory.
Step 2: Hunt the Headless Rider
This is where most players get stuck. The Raging Flames Arc is locked behind a time-gated boss encounter. You have to hunt down the Headless Rider.
Here is the exact breakdown of how to trigger the fight:
| Requirement | Details |
| Time of Day | Nighttime only. Must be after 8 PM in-game. |
| Location | Fox Window Street, located in the Bridge Crossings area. |
| The Chase | You must chase the boss through the streets using a real vehicle. |
| The Warning | Do not use the starter scooter or travel on foot. You will fail the chase phase. |
Once you successfully tail the Headless Rider to the tunnel, the actual boss fight begins. Take it down, and the game rewards you with the Raging Flames Arc. As a bonus, this is actually a fantastic piece of gear for your combat roster anyway.
Step 3: Equip and Ride
With the boss defeated and the Arc in your inventory, you have one final step. Equip the Raging Flames Arc on a character in your active squad.
The character holding the Arc must be in your active party formation. They cannot just sit benched in your roster. Once that condition is met, summon your Novis ST-X 950 and hop on. The blue flames will automatically ignite.
