The Golden Byakugan Eyes, also known as Golden Eyes, are a brand-new clan mode evolution introduced in the latest Ninja Time update. This new questline expands on the White Eyes path, unlocking powerful new abilities and golden-themed visual effects for players who meet the mastery and quest requirements.
This guide explains exactly how to start and complete the Golden Eyes Quest, including all steps, requirements, and a showcase of every new move you’ll gain once unlocked.
Quest Requirements
Before you can start the Golden Eyes quest, make sure you meet the following prerequisites:
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Clan Mode | You must have the White Eyes Clan unlocked |
| Mastery Level | Requires 50 Mastery in White Eyes |
| Location | Quest NPC is found in the Forest of Death |
| Game Update | October 2025 (Golden Eyes Update) |
Once you meet these conditions, you can proceed to the quest giver inside the Forest of Death.
Step 1: Talk to the Quest NPC
Head to the Forest of Death. You’ll find a mysterious NPC standing near a structure behind the main building. Interact with him to begin the new quest titled “Golden Proficiency.”
The dialogue will hint that your “will has proven you are not driven by arrogance,” signaling the beginning of your ascension quest toward the Golden Eyes form.
Step 2: Complete the Meditation Minigame
After accepting the quest, you’ll be assigned a meditation minigame.
Objective:
Maintain the balance meter in the center of the screen for the duration of the meditation sequence.
Controls:
Press and hold F to stabilize the meter (earlier players mistakenly used X).
Difficulty:
It’s labeled as Difficulty III, which is moderate. It’s not too easy but definitely manageable once you understand the rhythm.
Tip:
If you’ve previously completed the Duel Quest meditation, this one works similarly—just stay focused and centered until the bar fills completely.
When finished successfully, you’ll receive a message confirming the completion of this step.
Step 3: Enter the Mirror Maze
After meditating, return to the same NPC. He’ll now instruct you to “Talk to the Mirror Maze Exit.”
This transports you into the Mirror Maze, one of the more confusing parts of the quest.
How the Mirror Maze Works:
- It’s a reflective environment where walls and corridors mirror your movement.
- Navigation is tricky—many paths look identical.
- The easiest way to complete it is to zoom out your camera to get a top-down view. This helps you see the layout and find the correct exit faster.
After successfully finding your way out, interact again at the maze’s exit to finalize this step.
Step 4: Unlock Golden Byakugan (Golden Eyes Mode)
Once you’ve exited the maze, talk to the NPC again.
He’ll acknowledge your achievement and reward you with the Golden Eyes Mode, marking the completion of the quest.
Now, open your Skill Tree → Clans → White Eyes, and you’ll see the new Golden Eyes evolution unlocked.
Golden Eyes Moveset and Abilities
After unlocking the Golden Byakugan, you’ll gain access to a series of new Golden-themed Jutsu — upgraded from the standard White Eyes moveset.
| Move Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Golden Eye Vision | Activates the mode. Gives your character glowing golden Byakugan eyes. Minor visual enhancement, no major combat buff. |
| Golden Eight Palms | Executes a rapid, glowing palm strike combo. Focuses chakra into your hands for increased damage. |
| Golden Rotation | Creates a spinning defensive barrier of chakra. Can be held down for extended duration. Excellent for countering multi-hit attacks. |
| Tenetsu Palm Strike | A high-damage rush attack that targets enemy chakra points, leaving them stunned on impact. |
| 32 Trigrams | Executes a short combo with precise hits to pressure enemies. |
| 64 Palms | Extends the combo to more strikes, increasing total damage output. |
| 128 Palms | The ultimate combo sequence. Deals massive burst damage in a flurry of golden strikes, capable of eliminating weaker targets instantly. |
Visual Effect:
Each attack glows with a golden chakra aura around the hands and creates a shimmering impact on hit.
While mostly a visual evolution, the mode feels faster and smoother compared to standard White Eyes moves.
Quest NPC Location
To find the NPC again for reference:
- Go to the Forest of Death.
- Look behind the main building.
- The quest giver is located on the left side, next to a small cluster of trees.
