Guides

Dive into the enchanting world of Hello Kitty Island Adventure where unlocking the secrets of underwater exploration is key to discovering hidden treasures and meeting new friends like Hangyodon. From crafting your own snorkel to mastering the art of diving, this guide reveals how to swim beneath the surface and explore the vibrant Rainbow Reef, turning your island adventure into a magical aquatic journey.

Getting the Snorkel and Flippers are a vital part of any playthrough in Hello Kitty Island Adventure since you need them to explore the underwater world of Rainbow Reef and meet Hangyodon. There is a lot hidden under the surface as well, like items and chests.

This guide will explain how to get the Snorkel and Flippers to unlock swimming and diving in Hello Kitty Island Adventure.

How to unlock the Flippers in Hello Kitty Island Adventure

To unlock the Flippers in Hello Kitty Island Adventure, you first need to complete the “Power Up the Gate” quest, which opens access to the Spooky Swamp area. There, find Keroppi and give him his Welcome Gift to start the “Finding Flippers” quest. Keroppi will provide you with the Flipper fins and the crafting blueprint. Next, locate a Strap in a treasure chest on a wooden dock near the swamp. With both the fins and strap, head to Chococat’s Crafting Table near the Resort Gate to craft the Flippers. Once crafted, the Flippers automatically equip and allow you to swim across any water on the island.

You can get the Flippers in Hello Kitty Island Adventure right after you complete the Power Up the Gate quest. Once you open the gate and unlock the rest of the island, go find Keroppi in the Swamp region. (He should be walking on the path in Lilypad Lagoon.) Give him his Welcome Gift and it will unlock the “Finding Flippers” quest.

  • Keroppi will give you the fins item and the Plan to create the Flippers.
  • You can now craft a pair of Flippers. The ingredients to the Flippers are one fins and one strap. If you need a strap, you can find them in the chests scattered throughout the Spooky Swamp region.
  • Use the crafting table at Chococat’s camp to craft a pair of Flippers. Once you craft a pair, you can now swim on the surface of the water.

How to unlock the Snorkel in Hello Kitty Island Adventure

To unlock the Snorkel in Hello Kitty Island Adventure, you need to reach Friendship Level 6 with Kuromi and complete the “Deep Diving” quest she gives you. During this quest, Kuromi will lend you her Snorkel to retrieve her lost locket from the water near the Spooky Swamp. After returning the locket, she rewards you with the Snorkel crafting recipe. To craft your own Snorkel, gather 10 Rubber, 2 Sparks, and 2 Iron Ingots, then use a Crafting Table to create it. Once crafted, the Snorkel allows you to dive underwater and explore new areas, with diving controlled by on-screen prompts and limited by your stamina bar.

The Snorkel allows you to dive underwater and explore. This item comes later in the game, but getting it is still pretty straightforward. You just need to know how to unlock the Deep Diving quest. Here is how to get the quest:

  • You unlock the Deep Diving quest once you reach Friendship Level 6 with Kuromi. To level up that particular relationship, we gifted her Jack-O-Laterns. You can craft Jack-O-Laterns with five pumpkins and each one is rated as having two hearts with Kuromi.

Once you reach Level 6 Friendship with Kuromi, the game will start the Deep Diving quest. Here is how to complete it:

  1. After you start the quest, Kuromi will move from her usual spot near the Spooky Swamp mailbox waypoint to the docks near the Witch’s Hut. Go and talk to her.
  2. She will tell you she lost her Locket under the water. She will lend you a pair of Flippers.
  3. Use your new Snorkel to dive under the water and collect the Locket.
  4. Bring her the Locket. She won’t let you keep the Snorkel but she’ll give you a Plan to craft your own.
  5. Go and craft the Snorkel at the crafting table in Chococat’s camp. To craft the Snorkel, you need: ten rubber, two spark, and 2 ingots.
  6. If you need more ingots, you can craft more. You just need to get the Plans to make them. The Ingot Plans are located near the Gemstone Mountain Gemstone Town mailbox waypoint. We were able to travel there on foot with one Stamina Apple upgrade. We included an image of its location below for your reference.
  7. Once you gather the materials, craft the Snorkel. You are now able to swim underwater.

How to swim underwater in Hello Kitty Island Adventure

To swim underwater in Hello Kitty Island Adventure, you first need to acquire the Snorkel by completing the “Deep Diving” quest, which unlocks after reaching Friendship Level 6 with Kuromi. Once you have the Snorkel, simply jump into any body of water that is not shallow. Controls for diving will appear on the right side of the screen, allowing you to adjust your depth and move laterally underwater. Use the right analog stick or keyboard keys (Ctrl to dive down, Shift to ascend) to navigate underwater. Keep an eye on your stamina bar, as it limits how long you can stay submerged; when depleted, your character will automatically surface without harm. Crafting the Snorkel requires materials like rubber balls, sparks, and ingots, which you can gather across the islands. With practice, you can explore underwater areas to find unique items and complete quests.

Once you have the snorkel, to swim underwater, all you need to do is jump into any body of water that’s not a shallow pool. Once you’re there, a set of icons will pop up on the right-hand side of the screen that show the controls for how to dive.

We used a controller to play. The right control stick allows you to navigate the elevation or depth of your character, while the left control stick allows you to move it from side to side. (For PC players, the Ctrl and Shift buttons move the character up and down and you can use the arrowpad to move side to side.)
