How to get a Watering Can in Hello Kitty Island Adventure

There are many useful tools and equipment to unlock and use in Hello Kitty Island Adventure, and all of them are trapped behind friendship leveling and quests. The Watering Can is a hugely useful tool that takes considerable effort to unlock. 

If you’ve been wandering around Friendship Island and wondering what those little pink closed flowers on the floor are, don’t worry; you’re not alone. Those flowers only become meaningful once you’ve unlocked the Watering Can, which is not an easy task. 

How to unlock the Watering Can in Hello Kitty Island Adventure

If you want a Watering Can, you’ll need to focus on leveling up your friendship with My Melody. She’s the key to the Watering Can and the Pickaxe, which comes first. In short, she’s a very useful friend. 

To level up My Melody, you should focus on giving her gifts daily and make the most of Friendship Bouquets and Friendship Blossoms to give her more than the standard three gifts per day. Unfortunately, her two- and three-heart gift preferences are difficult to get. 

The best gift to give My Melody is a Pink Latte, which is a two-heart gift and becomes available to make as soon as you’ve unlocked the Espresso Machine at the Comedy Club through Hangyodon. You can make it using either of the following recipes:

• 1 Candlenut + 1 Strawberry
• 1 Candlenut + 1 Sakura

Either way, once you’ve successfully dragged My Melody’s friendship level to 14, you can complete her quest, “Crystal Vay-Cay.” When you’ve completed that, another quest called “Flower Power” will become available from My Melody, which will eventually reward you with the Crafting Plans to make a Watering Can. 

To make a Watering Can, you’ll need the following resources:

• 2 Mechanisms
  • Crafted using three Gizmos, which are the return gift from Chococat
• 5 Ingots 
  • Crafted using 3 Iron, which can be found all around Mount Hothead and Crystal Caves

How to use the Watering Can in Hello Kitty Island Adventure

Once you’ve actually managed to obtain a Watering Can, you’ll find it very useful. Like the Pickaxe, it’s not a selectable tool and instead becomes available to use as soon as you get close enough to anything that needs watering. 

Here are all the ways to use your Watering Can once you’ve got it:

• Gift Flowers
  • Little pink closed buds found in all regions. When watered, these open up to give items, recipes, or Crafting Plans. 
• Flowers
  • Although watering flowers is not strictly needed for them to grow, it does reduce their growth time by one day each time they’re watered. 
• Rainfall Flowers
  • After completing Chococat’s “Rain or Shine” quest, you’ll be able to water blue Rainfall Flowers that will produce one Raindrop each. These flowers appear in only some areas and only when it’s raining. 
• Merry Meadow
  • After unlocking Merry Meadow, you’ll need to plant and cultivate four Giant Seeds, which will eventually turn into Beanstalks and unlock more of the new area. These need watering every day for three days before they fully grow.
