11Overview2233The hoverboard is a traversal tool in LumenTale: Memories of Trey that you ride to move around the world. It is activated with a single button prompt once obtained, and it is unlocked automatically during the main story. Which quest grants it depends on whether you chose the north or south route.4455In game the board is called the Holoboard, and both names refer to the same item. It appears in your item list alongside the Holoken and the Lumen Crest. There is nothing to equip and no durability to manage: once it is yours, the button prompt works anywhere the board can be ridden.6677How to Use the Hoverboard8899Once the hoverboard is obtained, press the corresponding button prompt for your system to start hovering.10101111PlatformInputNintendo SwitchLeft Analog ClickPC (Controller)Left Stick PressPC (Keyboard)Ctrl1212On PC only a handful of button assignments can be changed, from the Controls section of the System Menu.

Either way it arrives through main story progress, so there is no side quest to chase and no way to miss it.20202121Where the Hoverboard Is Needed22222323The hoverboard is not just a speed boost. Several story beats and a number of collectibles are gated behind it, and most of them involve crossing water that cannot be walked.24242525SituationWhat the Hoverboard DoesCrossing open waterLets you ride over seawater and sea routes that have no walkable path.Reaching MemoreniaCross the sea from the beach in Area 13 to continue the story.Aeolyc IslandsTravel over the seawater from the Memorenia docks toward the islands in the northwest.Memorenia temple back entranceReach the cave south of the temple by crossing the water beside it.Altipetra volcanic depthsRide the slope down into the depths when the prompt appears.Tenth Costa Linda torchHover west over the water to the small island holding the last torch.Minube huntingColors other than yellow sit behind hoverboard access plus certain Holoken powers.Everyday travelSpeeds up overland movement across Talea.2626Because the tenth Costa Linda torch is the only one that needs the board, it is worth leaving that puzzle unfinished until the hoverboard is in hand rather than hunting for a route that does not exist. The same applies to All Minube Locations: the yellow Minube is reachable early, the rest are not.27272828Related Guides29293030For the other half of getting around Talea, see How to Fast Travel.
