How To Get To Korok Forest

Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity Korok Locations

Note: We're currently making our way through the first round of Age of Calamity DLC. From what we've seen so far, there don't seem to be any new Koroks to collect, but we'll update this guide should we find any.

As a prequel story to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity features many returning characters, including the diminutive Koroks. These little plant people love nothing better than a spot of Hide and Seek, and once again you'll find them hidden around Hyrule, waiting to be found. Fortunately, there aren't quite as many of them this time (we're still looking for the last hundred or so of the 900 Koroks hidden away in Breath of the Wild), although they're still tricky to spot, especially amongst all the action when you're giving the monster hordes a thrashing.

In Age of Calamity, Koroks are mainly found in the main story subchapters, although you'll also find single Koroks hidden in a handful of the unlockable Challenge stages, too. In total, t here are 134 Koroks to find in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity (122 in the subchapters, and 12 more across 11 Challenges). At a certain point in the game (once you complete the Challenge 'A Most Peculiar Korok') you can unlock the ability to see how many Koroks there are in any subchapter or Challenge. This information is found on the Battle Info screen which pops up before entering a chapter or trial — invaluable for keeping track of the Koroks still hidden.

T his Korok Location guide is now complete. We've listed all the Koroks in the Age of Calamity and included a Korok map of each area with their approximate locations marked.

SPOILERS! Although there are no story details below, we have included the subchapter titles for easy reference. There's probably nothing too surprising but if you want to avoid even the mildest of spoilers, we'd bookmark this page and come back once you've finished the main story.

Right, let's find the blighters!

Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Korok Locations Guide — Chapters

What are Korok Seeds used for? What do you get for finding all the Koroks?

Korok seeds are used as materials to complete Hestu-related Quests which unlock certain buffs and benefits such as increased weapon capacity, which comes in very handy. By the end of the game our Link had a whopping 41 weapon slots in his inventory.

That's all you get, though, so don't go expecting any other special 'gift' from Hetsu. For the best, probably.

What about treasure chests?

You'll also find treasure chests hidden (or not-so-hidden) around the maps. Sometimes they'll be half-buried and you'll need to use Magnesis to free the chest, other times you'll spot them waiting to be plundered in plain sight.

While you'll obviously want to grab these when you see them, the treasure they contain arguably isn't all that exciting (you'll obtain weapons, rupees and materials through the normal game). One of the many unlocks you'll win through play is to have any unfound treasure chests highlighted on the map, too, so if you love collecting treasure you'll want to complete 'The Treasure Detector' and 'Upgrading the Detector' to have the Chest details on the Battle Info screen, and the Chests themselves displayed on the map respectively.

Let us know below which of these little guys gave you the most trouble. If you're new to the game, you might want to check out o ur Age Of Calamity Tips and Beginner's Guide.
