Where to Find All Heart Pieces in The Dark Forest: Locations

Stuck finding Heart Pieces in Kao the Kangaroo's Dark Forest? Follow our guide to pinpoint all three hidden collectibles with easy-to-follow directions.

Hey there! So you're diving into The Dark Forest in Kao the Kangaroo and looking for those shiny Heart Pieces, huh? Don't worry, I've got your back. Let's track 'em all down together!

1. Heart Piece #1: The Hut Near the Gate

   Alright, so early on in the level, you'll go through a big gate and then meet this guy, the Frogster. Before you even get to him, or just after you pass that gate, keep an eye out. There's a little path that goes upwards, leading to a hut with a wooden door. Just give that door a good whack with any attack you've got, and bam! The Heart Piece is chilling inside.

2. Heart Piece #2: The Spider's Cave Dead End

   Keep pushing through The Dark Forest, and you'll soon run into those Fire Spitter enemies. Not long after that, you'll spot a small cave. It's got a puddle of water inside that's safe to cross. Head into the cave, and you'll find a little dead end. Now, there's a spider hanging out there, ready to drop from the ceiling. You can't really hurt the spider directly, but you can hit the green orb-like thing on its web to get rid of it, or just ignore it. Go all the way to the end of that dead-end passage, and you'll find the second Heart Piece waiting for you.

3. Heart Piece #3: The Bar's Island Getaway

   This last one is in the final room of The Dark Forest, the one that looks like a bar with a bunch of Frogsters hanging around. My advice? Take out all the enemies first. Seriously, it's way easier to grab the Heart Piece without worrying about getting knocked into that gross death water and having to respawn. Once it's clear, look to one side of the room. You'll see a small island that you need to jump to using a barrel. That little island is where the final Heart Piece is hidden.

There you go! Three Heart Pieces found in The Dark Forest. Keep up the great work!
