How to get the Pickaxe in Hello Kitty Island Adventure

To obtain the Pickaxe, you must first increase your Friendship ranking with My Melody to level 11. You can find My Melody inside her shop in the starting area of the game. Upon reaching Friendship level 11, you’ll unlock the quest, “Clearing The Oasis,” and along with it, the coveted Pickaxe.

How to quickly raise friendship levels with My Melody

To speed up the leveling process with My Melody, gift her special items from the Sweet and Dreamy Items category. My Melody likes the following Sweet and Dreamy goodies:

  • Pink Latte
  • Macaron
  • Strawberry
  • Candy Cloud
  • Swampmallow

While each gift contributes to building your friendship, the Pink Latte is the most effective, granting two hearts instead of the usual one heart. You can only give her three gifts a day, so choose wisely. To make a speedrun of it, present her with a Pink Latte three times daily to reach level 11. If you’ve got the extra items to spare, this should make quick work of the task, and the Pickaxe is yours.
