In the first week of June, the first phase of the Eternal Sugar Cookie update for Cookie Run: Kingdom will conclude. This update will unveil Hollyberry Cookie’s awakened form and the following episode of Beast-Yeast, leaving Silent Salt and Awakened White Lily as the last remaining characters to be introduced. After the thrilling cliffhanger in Episode 9, the upcoming update is generating a lot of excitement among CRK players.
As is often the case with the introduction of a new powerful cookie, Hollyberry Cookie is set to take over the arena immediately once players begin to awaken her. If you’re looking to dominate in the next Kingdom Arena season, you’d better start building Hollyberry right away. Even if competitive modes aren’t your thing, there are plenty of ways to prepare for the update. Here’s what you can do to get ready for Hollyberry Cookie’s release.
What Supplies Should You Stock Up On For Awakened Hollyberry Cookie?
Invest in Star Jellies and Skill Powder to Maximize Her Skills
It’s clear that you’ll need to invest resources into Hollyberry Cookie if you haven’t done so already. This involves upgrading her skills to the maximum level—currently level 90. If you haven’t started this yet, accumulating up to 1,510 pristine defense skill powders may be required to max her out. Keep an eye out for her soulstones in the shops; collecting those along with rare, epic, and legendary soul essences will aid in her promotion and ascension.
It’s also wise to raise her overall level to at least 30 by gathering star jellies. Ideally, you want to get her to level 90, but reaching level 30 will allow you to place her in the Hall of Ancient Heroes. If your other cookies are already leveled up, you might not need to use all your jellies on her right away. While we’re not certain how her abilities will evolve post-awakening, she will likely pair well with a Legendary Steelen Hard Beascuit. I’ve set aside a non-elemental one for now, just in case.
You can earn hard beascuits in Beast-Yeast Episode 9 through stages 1, 5, 9, 13, 15, 18, 22, 26, and 30.
Players can obtain Legendary Steelen Beascuits through the Juicy Stamina Jelly Challenge event until June 3rd. If you’re reading this after that date or can’t complete the event for any reason, don’t worry! You can also earn Steelen and Frozen beascuits in Episode 9 of Beast-Yeast, and they’ll likely be available in Episode 10 as well—just play on Normal or Hard difficulty for the legendary ones. Additionally, you can purchase legendary beascuits from Eternal Sugar Cookie’s Beast Raid Shop; these are tainted, making them ideal for damage dealing.
What Supplies Do You Need for Hollyberry Cookie’s Event?
Gather Crystals and Produced Goods for Event Challenges
Before the event kicks off, gather as many produced materials as you can, either by crafting them or purchasing them from the Seaside Market. These updates often introduce limited-time challenges that reward currencies for exclusive gacha pulls, including tasks like sending Jellybear trains and granting wishes. Having a good stock of items will make it much easier to navigate these challenges. Time-skips and crystals will also come in handy for production-based tasks.
Just like Pure Vanilla Cookie and Shadow Milk Cookie, Hollyberry and Eternal Sugar will receive legendary costumes. If you’re interested in giving either of these characters a new look, it’s best to hold off on spending your Rainbow Cubes for now to use them for the next banner.
When the event starts, one of the essential resources you’ll need is Juicy Stamina Jellies, especially since Episode 10 of Beast-Yeast will launch in the new update. You might also use these for the Monster Menace challenge. Completing a stage in Beast-Yeast requires 12 stamina jellies, meaning you’ll need at least 360 to finish an entire episode. The easiest way to gather stamina jellies is by spending time in the Town Square or checking spots like the Rainbow Shell Gallery.

How should you build the ancient healer Pure Vanilla Cookie in Cookie Run: Kingdom? Toppings and Beascuit setup explained.
Moreover, you might find it valuable to stock up on Cookie Cutters, particularly special ones. Hollyberry Cookie’s Awakening Update might also introduce a new epic cookie, much like how Black Sapphire Cookie debuted alongside Awakened Pure Vanilla. If that happens, it’s likely to be Sugarfly Cookie becoming playable. It’s wise to keep Fateful Cookie Cutters handy, especially for the end of the update since Hollyberry and Eternal Sugar will eventually be added to the fate gacha.
What Should You Do Before Hollyberry Cookie’s Awakened Form Is Released?
A Final Checklist Before the Update Goes Live
To prepare for the next update of Cookie Run: Kingdom, make sure you’ve completed all the content from the initial update of Eternal Sugar Cookie. This includes finishing episode 9 of Beast-Yeast so you can jump right into the new story when it drops. Other tasks to complete include wrapping up the Kingdom pass—or the Eternal pass if you purchased it—and progressing as far as possible in the current boss rush and beast raid events.
Although it might not be apparent, having a full friends list has helped me tremendously. If you haven’t already friended 50 players, I strongly suggest doing so before the next update goes live. Some event challenges require you to send daily gifts to friends, and reaching the maximum number of friends will make this much quicker.
Awakened Hollyberry Cookie Preparation Checklist
- Upgrade Hollyberry Cookie’s Skill to Level 90
- Raise Hollyberry Cookie’s Overall Level to at Least Level 30
- Promote Hollyberry Cookie as Much as Possible
- Have a Legendary Hard Beascuit (Preferably Steelen)
- Have 360 Juicy Stamina Jellies
- Finish Beast-Yeast Episode 9
- Complete Eternal/Kingdom Pass
- Reach the Highest Tier Possible in Ranked Modes
- Max Out Your Friends List
- Save Cookie Cutters (Preferably Special or Fateful)
- Save Crystals
- Stock Up on Produced Materials
Beyond that, general game progression will prove beneficial. Advancing in the Kingdom Arena, Cookie Alliance, Guild Battle, Beast Raid, and Boss Rush can yield substantial crystal rewards at the season’s end, aiding you in various areas of the game, especially in making gacha pulls. With her awakened form, Hollyberry Cookie can potentially revolutionize Cookie Run: Kingdom, so it’s wise to prepare thoroughly for her arrival.
