As you journey through the intriguing island in Hello Kitty Island Adventure, you and your friends will soon discover a series of enigmatic ruins. Initially, your mission involved uncovering the ruins near the Resort to collect Yellow Power Crystals. Now, another set of challenges awaits you.
While not every ruin is essential, many contain hidden treasures for those daring enough to take them on—whether it be resources, quest items, or even decorative furniture. If you’re ready to face a haunted mansion and a cranky guard, then there’s nothing to fear.
Unlocking the Spooky Swamp Puzzle Rooms
Unlike the Puzzle Rooms located at the Resort, this time, you’ll need to complete specific quests on your own to access the doors. Your first task is to finish the main story mission titled "Power Up The Gate," which allows you to access the Spooky Swamp. After that, you’ll need to complete "Re-Haunt The Swamp," a quest assigned to you after reaching friendship level four with Kuromi.
During this quest, you’ll venture around the Spooky Swamp alongside Kuromi, gathering three Green Power Crystals and returning them to their rightful spots. Once all three crystals are back where they belong, all the Puzzle Rooms will be accessible for you to tackle at your convenience.
Solution for the Thermal Throwdown Puzzle Room
This accessible room can be found along the southeastern shore of Spooky Swamp. Upon entering, your first task is to pick up the first Yellow Block and place it on the Circle Pressure Plate near the entrance.
Next, glide to the opposite side of the gap and activate the Wind Block. Use this to float up and glide over to retrieve the second Yellow Block located on a platform. Bring this second block back down to the second Circle Pressure Plate on the bottom floor. Afterward, return to the upper level and glide over to the now-unlocked Circle Door to collect your prize from inside—a chest containing five Sticks.
Moving the remaining blocks: Arrange the other two Yellow Blocks by placing one on the Clover Pressure Plate at the entrance and the other on the bottom floor’s Clover Pressure Plate. Activate the Wind Block at the entrance and soar up to the floating bridge. From there, glide to the now-open Clover Door to claim your reward within.
Solution for the Tricky Triangulation Puzzle Room
This Puzzle Room is perched at the top of a hill on the northeastern side of Spooky Swamp, just above the graveyard where Kuromi often hangs out.
Bring the first Yellow Block down to the Heart Pressure Plate to elevate all the stairs. Ascend the stairs and place the second Yellow Block onto the Triangle Pressure Plate near the entrance. Grab the Bridge Block and set it in front of the Star Door. Activating it will create a bridge leading upwards.
Next, place the Wind Block next to the Bridge Block and activate it. Remove the Yellow Block from the Triangle Pressure Plate and position it outside the Triangle Door, then jump down and move that Yellow Block onto the Triangle Pressure Plate to reopen the doors. Use the Wind Block to ascend to the bridge, pass through the open doors, collect the Yellow Block outside, and place it on the Star Pressure Plate. Go back down and through the now-open Star Door to receive a chest containing three Flours.
Solution for the Crumble Rumble Puzzle Room
Reach this Puzzle Room by obtaining the Flippers and Snorkel, as it’s submerged at the southern end of the area, near the entryway to the swamp. Carefully leap across the first set of blocks until you reach the safe zone in the center. Take the crumbling path to the left to retrieve the Yellow Block and return to the middle once the stones are stable.
Now, head down the right path with the Yellow Block, place it on the Star Pressure Plate, and return to the center before moving up the middle path to access the now-unlocked Star Door, which holds a chest containing 15 Sticks.
Solution for the Hidden Hearts Puzzle Room
This Puzzle Room is situated on the northwestern side of Spooky Swamp, cleverly integrated into the cliff next to a large waterfall, just south of the Ghost Tour fast-travel mailbox.
In the puzzle’s initial part, utilize the buttons on the bottom and right sides of the board to change each symbol into a heart. Move the heart symbols down to the bottom row with the bottom row of buttons, then adjust the rows on the right side. Avoid altering the already completed row of hearts and press the upper three right buttons until every row is transformed into hearts to unlock the door at the top of the stairs. Proceed through the Heart Door to collect your treasure—three Flours.
Solution for the Bottomless Bouldering Puzzle Room
The final Puzzle Room can be found slightly northwest of the graveyard, situated in the middle of the lake within Spooky Swamp.
Inside, leap across the first three Falling Boulder Tiles and quickly scale the Climbing Wall on the next section before you plunge into the bottomless pit. Ascend the stairs and navigate around a narrow bridge. When the camera angle shifts, jump at full height and glide to the opposite side of the room. Approach the edge of the next Climbing Wall section, lower yourself, and climb to the next area.
Run to the edge of another Falling Boulder Tile, jump, and glide over the gap before it collapses. Scale the single Climbing Wall, then continue around to the next set of Climbing Walls to reach a safe zone.
Lastly, run over the next set of Falling Boulder Tiles, make sure to grip onto the Climbing Walls, go around to the next area, and then up the stairs to a final section of Climbing Walls above. Carefully wrap around the tower, then jump and glide across to the stairs. Open the chest for the Spooky Lounge Sofa as your reward.
