I remember the first time I stumbled upon Doris; the rain was coming down in sheets, and I was about to call it quits for the day. Then, through the downpour, I saw a flickering light and a small stall. What I discovered there changed my Heartopia experience forever.
Most vendors in Heartopia are as predictable as the sunrise, reliably stationed in their shops. Doris isn’t like them; finding this wandering merchant is a puzzle, her appearance tied to the ever-changing weather. But trust me, the chase is worth it—she stocks some of the rarest and most coveted items in the entire game.
How to find Doris in Heartopia
Think of Doris as the cool, enigmatic character in your favorite show; she doesn’t just show up—she makes an entrance. Unlike other vendors rooted to one spot, Doris plays by her own rules, only appearing during specific weather events. To track her down, keep a close eye on your in-game watch and be ready to move when the weather shifts.
- Rain
- Snowfall
- Meteors
- Rainbows
During rain or snowfall, Doris sets up shop in the same location (note: I’m talking about active snowfall, not just a dusting). So when the skies open up, get ready to visit her.
Rain and snowfall location
When rain is falling or snow is coming down thick and fast, find Doris in the Art Street district in the main town. Her stall will be unmistakable.
Rainbow
Rainbows are the fleeting moments of joy after a storm. After the rain, you’ll find Doris at the base of the rainbow. Keep in mind that this isn’t a fixed point and depends on where the rainbow appears.
