The map in Hello Kitty Island Adventure is absolutely massive, filled with nooks and crannies to explore that hold secrets waiting to be discovered. The initial map is expansive enough, but there are also new areas to unlock as you progress.

It’s filled with secrets, new resources, and a lot of plots where you will eventually be able to plant and breed flowers. If you want to know how to find this lush, floral area and unlock its full potential, keep reading.
How to unlock Merry Meadow in Hello Kitty Island Adventure
All quests in Island Adventure are hidden behind friendship levels and connected to multiple different characters. Unlocking Merry Meadow is no different, and it will only be possible once you’ve completed the following steps:
- Complete the “Power Up the Gate” quest
- Reach friendship level 4 with Pompompurin
- Complete the “Dessert-ed Boat” quest
- Reach friendship level 11 with My Melody
- Complete the “Revive the Oasis” quest
Once you’ve done all that, you’ll need to wait one real-life day after completing the “Revive the Oasis” quest. When you enter Island Adventure the next day, you’ll have a new quest available to complete with Pompompurin called “Curious Caverns.”
He’s noticed that the waterfall opened up in the previous “Revive the Oasis” quest has knocked some stones loose, and he wants them removed as they’re unstable. There is only a single rock to remove using your Pickaxe, in the location marked below:
Once this rock is removed, you’ll gain access to Merry Meadow. Here, you’ll find a few new resources and collectibles:
| Resources | Critters | Fish |
|---|---|---|
| Sakura | Mossling | Geranium Gar |
| Pollen Fluff | Blossom Bounder | Petalscale |
| Seeds | Catercreeper | Meadow Stripe |
| Worm Tails | Flowerfly | Half-Dipped Dace |
| Hearthling | Floral Flyer | |
| Cherryfin | ||
| Blue Grin | ||
| Flurry Flyer (only during Snow) |
How to open up all of Merry Meadow in Hello Kitty Island Adventure
To begin with, you’ll only have access to the small lowest section of Merry Meadow. To gain access to the higher areas, including the Greenhouse on the Overlook, you’ll need to find and plant Giant Seeds in the large patches of dirt located close to cliff faces (pictured above).
You’ll then need to water these Giant Seeds over three real-life days, which requires a Watering Can. To get one, you’ll need to reach level 14 friendship with My Melody and complete her “Crystal Vay-Cay” quest.
Once you’ve grown the first Giant Seeds into a Beanstalk, you can climb it to reach the next level of Merry Meadow. Up here, there’ll be another seed to find and plant, beginning the three-day cycle over again. There are a total of four Giant Seeds to find and cultivate, meaning that the process of unlocking Merry Meadow in its entirety will take 12 days.
Unlocking the entirety of Merry Meadow will unlock the following features:
- Wish me mell (a new character who resides in Merry Meadow)
- Critter Corral
- Greenhouse
- Hidden exits that lead to different areas of Friendship Island
