Entering the Realm of Mythology
Mythical creatures in Infini are built on two foundations: an animal form and Magic. Without Magic, you cannot create any mythical being. That means your first goal is always to unlock Magic — which itself requires a fairly long chain from base elements.
This also means that the path to Dragon passes through Life, Human, Energy, and Space. It is a mid-to-late-game achievement that rewards players who have already built a rich element collection.
How to Make Magic
Magic is created by combining Energy + Space. Here is the full chain to reach Magic from base elements:
Full Path to Magic
| Step | Input 1 | Input 2 | Result | |------|---------|---------|--------| | 1 | Fire | Wind | Smoke | | 2 | Fire | Wind | Energy | | 3 | Steam | Cloud | Sky | | 4 | Sky | Sky | Space | | 5 | Energy | Space | Magic |
Note: Some steps may vary. The key ingredients are always Energy and Space. Steam (Water + Fire) is useful for creating Sky via atmospheric combinations.
Magic is a highly versatile element — once you have it, you can create Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix, Wizard, and dozens of other mythical and abstract elements.
Creating the Dragon
Dragon is the most iconic mythical creature in Infini. Here is the exact recipe and the full chain from base elements.
Direct Recipe
Creating Animal
Animal requires Life, which in turn requires Swamp and Time. The full chain to Animal:
- Water + Earth → Mud
- Earth + Wind → Dust
- Dust + Water → Swamp
- Fire + Earth → Lava
- Lava + Water → Stone
- Stone + Water → Sand
- Sand + Fire → Glass
- Sand + Glass → Time
- Swamp + Time → Life
- Earth + Rain → Plant
- Plant + Plant → Tree
- Tree + Tree → Forest
- Life + Forest → Animal
Putting It Together
That's 15 steps from Water, Fire, Earth, and Wind to Dragon.
Alternative Dragon Paths
If you already have Lizard or another reptile:
If you prefer an elemental approach:
- Fire + Animal → Dragon (emphasising the fire-breathing aspect — may vary)
Summoning the Unicorn
Unicorn is another popular mythical creature with a slightly different recipe path.
Primary Path
Horse + Purity → Unicorn
Creating Horse
Horse is derived from Animal + Speed or similar combinations depending on what elements you have available:
- Follow the chain to Animal (see Dragon section above)
- Animal + Wind → Horse (speed, movement)
Alternative Unicorn Path
If you cannot reach Purity:
Other Mythical Beings
Once you have Magic and Animal, you can create many legendary creatures:
Phoenix
Bird + Fire → Phoenix
To reach Bird:
- Life + Forest → Animal
- Animal + Wind → Bird
- Bird + Fire → Phoenix
Phoenix represents rebirth and renewal. It can be combined with Time for Eternal Phoenix.
Griffin
Eagle + Lion → Griffin
This requires creating both Eagle (Bird + Stone or Bird + Mountain) and Lion (Animal + Lava or similar). Griffin is one of the harder mythical creatures to reach.
Mermaid
Human + Fish → Mermaid
Fish is created via:
- Life + Water → Fish (or Animal + Water → Fish)
Mermaid then unlocks Sea Sorceress and other aquatic mythical elements.
Centaur
Human + Horse → Centaur
Centaur is straightforward once you have Human and Horse. See our How to Make Human guide for the full Human chain.
Advanced Mythical Combinations
Once you have the base mythical creatures, you can push into more complex territory:
| Input 1 | Input 2 | Result | |---------|---------|--------| | Dragon | Magic | Ancient Dragon | | Dragon | Time | Elder Dragon | | Phoenix | Time | Eternal Phoenix | | Unicorn | Magic | Crystal Unicorn | | Dragon | Universe | Cosmic Dragon | | Wizard | Dragon | Dragon Rider |
These combinations are among the deepest in Infini's element tree. They require long preparation chains but produce some of the most impressive discoveries in the game.
Strategic Notes
Why Magic is the Key
All mythical creatures require Magic either directly or through their ingredients. Before pursuing any mythical creature, unlock Magic first. It is reusable — you keep it in your inventory and can use it for multiple recipes.
Order of Operations
The recommended order for mythical creature hunting:
- Build up to Life and Human (biological foundation)
- Create Animal from Life + Forest
- Unlock Magic via Energy + Space
- Combine Animal + Magic for Dragon
- Branch into other mythical creatures using Magic and your existing animals
