Tao Stone

Tao Stones are special collectables in Freedom Planet. These stones are hidden in every stage, except for Final Dreadnought (Round 3 & Round 4). If you find a Tao Stone before completing a stage, you will be able to visit the Bonus Level afterwards (only durning Adventure and Classic Mode).

Freedom Planet 2

Tao Stones makes cameo appearance in a new element called "Bonus Rings", which are rainbow colored rings (similar to the ones seen in Pangu Lagoon). Passing through these rings will start a timer where the player can get more Crystal Shards by leaving as many Tao marks on the trail as possible. When the Bonus timer runs out, all of the Tao marks on the trail will turn into Crystal Shards. The longer the Tao trail is, the more Crystal Shards the player will get.
