The Net <\/strong>is an equippable item in Hello Kitty Island Adventure<\/a><\/em> that allows you to catch bugs and other critters around the island. If you want to become the bug-catcher extraordinaire of your dreams, you\u2019ll want to focus on getting one as soon as possible in the game.<\/p>\n

The net\u2019s function is straightforward: It allows you to catch bugs (and other critters) and store them in your inventory. Like any other resource in the game, there are different ways to use these critters. You can gift creatures and use them to level up your Friendship Level with other characters. You can also donate insects and critters to the Nature Preserve in exchange for rewards. <\/p>\n

Getting the Bug Net involves a larger quest in which you also unlock the Nature Preserve in Spooky Swamp. This guide will explain how to unlock the Net (or bug net) in Hello Kitty Island Adventure<\/em><\/strong>, and how to open Nature Preserve in Spooky Swamp along the way.<\/p>\n

How to unlock the Net Hello Kitty Island Adventure<\/h2>\n

To unlock the Net in Hello Kitty Island Adventure<\/em>, you\u2019ll first need to complete the \u201cPower Up the Gate\u201d<\/strong> quest. You\u2019ll also need to open the Nature Preserve<\/strong> and craft the Net Plans recipe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Completing this quest will unlock the rest of the island and allow you to access the quest and characters needed to get the item. Once you have completed the Power Up the Gate quest, head over to the Halloween-themed area called Spooky Swamp on the Eastern side of the map.<\/p>\n

How to open the Nature Preserve in Hello Kitty Island Adventure<\/h2>\n

Once there, walk around until you find Keroppi the frog. He moves around a bit but I found him in the woods south of the graveyard and the hedge maze. You can also check his location on the map. To do that, open your map and toggle the \u201ccharacter\u201d icon filter to the on position. You know it\u2019s on when the filter is turned to blue and you can see icons of Sanrio characters on the map. <\/p>\n

Once you find Keroppi, you will need to give him gifts to reach Friendship Level Two. Gift him enough items to establish friendship and get him to Level Two Friendship. You only need to get him to level two, so even items rated for One Heart will be enough to level him up. Keroppi likes items from the swamp, so run around and grab some lotus blossoms <\/strong>in the surrounding area to gift him. <\/p>\n

Reaching Friendship Level Two will unlock a quest called: \u201cOpen the Nature Preserve<\/strong>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

To complete the quest, head over to the eastern side of the island near the Nature Preserve waypoint. Approach Keroppi who is waiting just outside the big building that looks like a museum. Once he sees you, it will prompt a dialog scene with him and he\u2019ll enter the fancy building. Follow him into it.<\/p>\n
