Blooms & action chains.

A bloom is a gathering point, not another mode. Rally enough nearby companions through its glowing area to complete it. Consecutive blooms build a short bloom chain and pearl reward. Player meals, kills and rescues extend a four-second action chain. Every five actions raises its multiplier, up to ×5. This multiplies encounter score, not pearl or nutrient payouts. Automatic background feeding is not an unlimited score source.

Step 1

Gather companions before entering the marked bloom.

Step 2

Keep Rally active as your swimmer and followers pass through.

Step 3

Connect a meal, rescue or defeat before the action chain expires.
