In this guide, we’ll take a look at how to meet and befriend Big Challenges in Hello Kitty Island Adventure. Unlocking him takes a bit of work, so we’ll go over all the requirements that you need to complete beforehand. Thankfully, Big Challenges unlocks at the exact same time that Tophat does.
Where To Find Big Challenges
In order to unlock Big Challenges, you’ll need tocomplete A Challenging Rescue.This quest has a lot of requirements that you need to complete first, which we’ve listed below. Overall,this is a big chunk of the story,but as you complete the quests, more features and side quests will unlock as well.
Once you finish this list of quests, you canmove on to start A Challenging Rescue.To start it,speak with Tophat, who is found in the upper right-hand corner of Gemstone Mountain,near the Icy Peak entrance (there is a fast-travel mailbox here).
You canhead over to our Tophat guide to get a full walkthroughof A Challenging Rescue. The quest is relatively simple,but if you get turned about, we’ve got you covered.
After A Challenging Rescue has been completed, both Tophat and Big Challenges will be standing at the beach in the Seaside Resort. From here, you can freely interact with Big Challenges and give him gifts.
Gifts To Give Big Challenges
After Big Challenges joins the characters, you cangive him gifts to level up your friendship.Overall, Big Challenges likes gifts with theVolcanic, Resilience, and Book tags.These look like avolcano, a shield, and a book, making them rather straightforward.
If a gift has at least one of these tags, then he’ll accept it as a one-heart gift. There are also a few two and three-heart gifts that you can give him, which we’ve listed below.

Meditations on Resilience

Another great option that provides a bit more friendship isMeditations on Resilience.This book requiresjust one Blank Book and one Little Challenge to make.It’s pretty cheap in terms of material requirement, so we suggest giving Big Challenges this.
