This guide for Lushfoil Photography Sim will help you find all of the portals in the game.

Portals are used to access the games zones at alternative times of the day or seasons that aren’t unlocked through natural progression.

Please note there are many spoilers in this guide.

Lago di Braies

First, you will need to complete the spring section of Lago di Braies. If you’re yet to complete the spring section, we have a guide for all images in the zone which will help you unlock the winter zone.

To find the portal, when in the winter version of the zone you should return to the path you walked along to unlock the winter zone. However, this time at the end you will see your first portal:

This portal will take you to the Le Prarion zone at dusk.

Castle Rock Beach

We will start in the evening at Castle Rock Beach which you will unlock after completing the day time pictures. This is where you first start, facing the sun:

From here, turn left and head towards this path in the trees:

When on the path, swiftly walk for about 10 seconds and veer right when the path splits at the top of a short incline:

After turning right, walk straight till you see the next beach with a gazebo and sun lounger ahead of you. You will need to take some pictures here for the main objectives too:

When on the beach, you can just make out the portal in the trees on your left:

Head in to the trees on your left to find the portal:

This portal will take you to Mardi Hamil Trail during a blizzard.

Fushimi Inari Taisha

Starting from the top of the map, by the door that was locked before completing all of the summer time photos, we will begin our descent to the portal:

Turn around 180 degrees and take a left towards the vending machines. Then take the path under the gate next to them:

Follow the path through the gates and keep going:

Eventually, after about 30 seconds of fast walking, you will see a gap in the gates on your right by this tall tree. Move towards the tree off the path:

Once by the tree, turn back on yourself and you will see another row of gates. Walk towards them and start going through them:

Walk through the gates for a few seconds and you will see the portal:

The portal will take you to East Maddon Park’s rainy variant.

MÃ½rdalssandur

To unlock the portal on MÃ½rdalssandur, you will need to unlock the secret blue sky area of the zone. To unlock this, you need to first find all totems and take all objective pictures on the zone, its recommended you have the GPS tracker to help you find the totems.

Once you have done the photos at both the daytime and dusk versions of the zone, you will enter a cave to unlock the snowy variant of MÃ½rdalssandur. To unlock the secret dark blue sky area, simply re-enter the cave. If you’re stuck, the cave can be found here past the gate you will have previously unlocked with a key:

After entering the cave, you will re-emerge facing back towards the way from which you entered. Walk back along the short path until you reach the gate you used the key to unlock, and walk past:

Continue briefly until you pass the waterfall on your right and stick to the path ahead:

Keep going straight until you pass this large rock on the right:

Shortly after, down a short path to your right you will see the portal:

This portal will take you to Yamadera during a secret foggy period.

Le Prarion

If you’ve missed some photos on Le Prarion, see our photo locations guide.

The portal on this level is hidden amongst some trees near the lower elevated section of the zone. You should begin your hunt near to the train track, not far from the house with the French flag outside. Move towards the below location:

From here, move right and along the path in front of you in this picture:

When you reach this part of the path, take the left:

Continue up the path and again keep left here:

When you reach these trees, you should head between them away from the path:

When you're past the trees, the portal will be in front of you:

This portal will take you to the winter version of Lago Di Braies.

Mardi Himal Trail

To find the portal on Mardi Himal Trail, you will need to be in the blizzard zone after completing the first set of picture objectives. We have a full picture guide for Mardi Himal Trail if you need some help.

You should start the hunt for the portal at the very start of the zone. You should exit the zone, then return to the very start at sunset:

Now immediately change to the blizzard variant. Now you’re in the blizzard zone, turn around and begin your mountain ascent. Continue until you reach a familiar fork in the road and take the left:

Continue along the path and eventually a fox may run across the path in front of you from right to left. They will run down the hill off the path, follow them. If they don’t, you’re looking for this spot to head off the path to the left:

Now, you need to head as far down this section as possible, sticking mostly right, until you see these small bollards:

From here, veer slightly right and head in to a cave where you’ll find the portal:

If you’re looking for all totems, you can change the variant of Mardi Hamil Trail from the blizzard to the sunset whilst here, a totem sits in the same spot as the portal.

This portal will take you to Castle Rock Beach at sunset.

Yamadera

This is probably the easiest portal to find in the whole game. We will begin here, at the higher section of the zone near to the town and the hut with the picture board in:

From here, turn around and simply follow the bricked path:

The path only leads one way, so keep following all the way. You’ll eventually see the portal next to this house:

This portal will take you to MÃ½rdalssandur’s secret blue sky zone.

East Maddon Park

East Maddon Park is enormous and there are multiple locations where you can spawn, you can find the portal in either the day or the night variant of the zone, it is recommended you look for this portal during the daytime variant otherwise this can be almost impossible to find.

You are looking for this location, where you also need to take an objective picture in the night time variant – see our East Maddon Park image guide if you need help. The location is on the outskirts of one of East Maddon Park’s lakes, here’s a view from the drone:

The portal can be found in this room, by walking through the darkest archway on the left here. It is a wall you can walk straight through:

When inside, the portal will be straight in front of you:

The portal will take you to Fushimi Inari Taisha’s rainy variant.

Shengshan Island

Finally, we are on Shengshan Island for our last portal. If you need help finding images on this zone, see our image guide. We will begin our path to the portal from this lookout of the village, which should be easy to find. If you've taken all the pictures on Shengshan Island already, this is where the second photo board is. If not, its at the highest point of the village you start at:

From here, turn around and begin walking along the path up the hill:

Just over the brow of the hill is this spot, where the muddy path veers to the left. Instead, take an off road right and hug the trees on the right:

A short walk after, you will see this path beyond the trees:

Follow the path and eventually you’ll reach the games final portal:

If you have collected all portals, you will be transported to the secret final ending zone where the end credits will play out. No spoilers, enjoy it.
