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. 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.
As you’ll quickly notice, this Korok Location guide is a work in progress. Hey, Korok’s are hard to find! We’ll continue to update it and add locations until we’ve found all the Koroks, but we’ve listed all the ones we’ve found so far and included a 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
The following is a list of the Korok locations in the main story chapters in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity.
