Unlocking the Mines in Cookie Run: Kingdom
As players expand their domains and upgrade their castles in Cookie Run: Kingdom, they are introduced to a variety of landmarks such as the Balloon Dock, Bear Jelly Train, and Trade Harbor. However, one particular structure—the Mine, located in the northeastern sector—remained underutilized, drawing little attention until now.
With the advent of The Flame Awakens update, the Mines have been revitalized with a functional purpose. Players can now reconstruct the Mines to produce essential items including Topping Tarts, Beascuits, Choco Chalks, Soulstones, and more. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the steps needed to unlock the Mines in Cookie Run: Kingdom and explore their capabilities.
Steps to Unlock the Mines
To gain access to the Mines, players must achieve Cookie Castle level six, extend their territory to the northeast corner, and complete a brief quest. Reaching level 6 is relatively straightforward as the required tasks are manageable and the upgrade expenses are modest. Here is a breakdown of the missions needed to elevate Cookie Castle to level six:
| Missions for Cookie Castle Lv.6 | Investment Required |
|---|---|
|
300,000 Coins and 4 Aurora Items |
Upon upgrading your castle, focus on clearing the forest adjacent to the Mines. For this, you will require Aurora Bricks, an Aurora Compass, and an Enchanted Stake (available from Smithy level 5) to clear each section. Subsequently, the “Into the Depths”quest will appear on your screen’s right side. If it doesn’t show up immediately, complete a few story quests to trigger it. If you’re already above level 6 and have cleared the region, the quest will be available for completion.
To construct the Mines, gather these necessary materials:
- 3 Aurora Pillars
- 3 Aurora Bricks
- 3 Aurora Compass
These materials can be collected from either the Event Shop or the Seaside Market. If you require assistance in gathering Aurora resources, be sure to follow our guide. Construction of the Mines is swift and rewards you with 20,000 Coins, 30,000 Kingdom EXP, and a Topping Tart. Once you enter the Mines, a brief tutorial will familiarize you with the operations inside.
