While exploring the map ofHello Kitty Island Adventure, players may quickly realize that a large portion remains underwater and is only accessible through diving. Unfortunately, at the start of the game, you will be unable to even swim, let alone dive to find Hangyodon. Thankfully, it’s not too difficult to reach these underwater regions, as long as you put the time in.
For both swimming and diving, the right tools must first be unlocked.For swimming this includes flippers, and for diving this includes a snorkel mask.Unfortunately, both of these items are acquired separately and from twodifferent residents inHello Kitty Island Adventurewho are in an area initially blocked off to players: the Spooky Swamp.
How To Unlock Flippers For Swimming
Power Up The Gate To Reach Keroppi
As stated, to unlock swimming, players will first need to obtain a pair of flippers, which can be a little tedious. WhileKeroppi gives you the crafting plan for themrelatively quickly upon meeting, simply getting to Keroppi is the hardest part. This is largely because both Keroppi and Kuromi reside in the eastern portion of the map, Spooky Swamp, where players are unable to go until they have opened the gate near Chococat’s crafting bench.
One Year After Its Release, Hello Kitty Island Adventure Has More Reasons To Play Than Ever
Since launching last July, Hello Kitty Island Adventure has grown immensely, but the adventure simulation game has a lot more in the works for fans.
To do this, players will need to work with Chococat tocomplete the Power Up The Gate quest, which involves tracking down three yellow Power Crystals by solving puzzles around the main part of the resort. The quest is unlocked almost immediately upon befriending Chococat, and he provides a tool to find the Power Crystals quickly, so it shouldn’t take too long to finish. Once that is complete and the gate is open, head on through and find Keroppi towards the southern end of the Spooky Swamp.
If you know how to use the gliding balloons efficiently, you may be able to wiggle your way over the broken bridge once the gate is open and save yourself some walking, but if not, just go around the long way.
After you find and provide Keroppi with his welcome gift, you will be able to start the Finding Flippers quest. Keroppi will provide you with the plans for building the Flippers and the main piece, the fins. All you need to do now is find the Flipper straps. If you head a little left of Keroppi, west on the map, there will bea small dock with a chest on it containing the straps. If you have trouble finding it, try turning on the guide for the quest in the quest tracking menu, which will create a glowing light leading you there.
Hello Kitty Island Adventure: All Recipes (& How To Make Them)
There are several recipes in Hello Kitty Island Adventure that make wonderful friend gifts, and up to 5 different appliances to craft them with.
With both items in hand,head to Chococat’s crafting bench and craft the Flippers. Once crafted, the flippers will always remain an active item. This means you won’t need to open them up on your tool wheel to swim, they’ll simplyauto-activate anytime you’re in the water, allowing you to swim freely. However, you will still be unable to dive as that requires a secondary item.
How To Unlock The Snorkel For Diving
Befriend Kuromi In The Spooky Swamp
The Snorkel, which is necessary to dive in the water, is unfortunately not as easy to unlock as the Flippers. Similar to Flippers, however, the resident that you need to speak with will also be found in the Spooky Swamp. Though it might seem strange,the spookiest Sanrio friend on the island,Kuromi, is the key to unlocking the Snorkel. After reaching friendship level 6 with her, she will unlock the Deep Diving quest.
Animal Crossing’s Hello Kitty Collab Was A Wasted Opportunity
Animal Crossing: New Leaf showed players the potential of amiibo collaborations with Hello Kitty, but Nintendo failed to follow-up when it mattered.
To begin, she will inform you about a lost item of hers in Spooky Swamp. Her locket has sunk to the bottom of the pond behind her witch’s hut, and she needs your help retrieving it. For this task specifically, she will allow you to borrow her Snorkel. To use the Snorkel, simplyjump in the water and then use the designated button or JoyCon shown on the screenwith the Snorkel icon, to swim down. Note that you won’t physically see a snorkel on your character, but it’s working regardless.
This will cause you to dive under the water, where you’re able to retrieve Kuromi’s lost item. Note that you will seea stamina bar appear after going underwater which monitors your ability to keep diving. If this bar runs out before you surface, your character will automatically stop and swim back up. Unfortunately, Kuromi will take back her snorkel at the end of the retrieval, but in exchange, she’ll provide you with the crafting plans for one so you can make your own.
“If I Was Thinking About That, I’d Be Paralyzed” - Hello Kitty Island Adventure’s Composer On Pleasing Fans
The composer for Hello Kitty Island Adventure discusses the creative process and challenges behind designing the game’s varied soundscapes.
To craft the snorkel, you’ll need2x Sparks, 2x Iron Ingot, and 10x Rubber. Rubber can be found in the main area of the resort, Iron Ingot can be crafted from the Iron Ore found all around Mount Hothead, and for the Sparks, you may craft those from the friendship gift provided by Kuromi herself. Once you have all the materials, head toa crafting station inHello Kitty Island Adventureand build the snorkel.
Similarly to the flippers, the snorkel will operate automatically and doesn’t need to be equipped. Simply jump in the water and move down to begin diving, but keep an eye on stamina. If possible, try to unlock the mailbox near Hangyodon’s comedy club. This will give you a fast travel point right in front of his club, underwater, so you won’t have to worry about running out of stamina when trying to visit him inHello Kitty Island Adventure.
