Crow Country Secret Locations/CrowQuest Crystal Crow Guide
This Guide is a work-in-progress. I wanted to get the Secret Locations, as well as the CrowQuest Crystal Crow Locations up for anybody who needs them; but I will be coming back to add a full walkthrough, too.
To get an S Rank at the end of Crow Country, certain criteria must be met at the end of the game:
10 or less Heals Used
0 Hints Spent at Fortune Teller Machines
All 15 Secrets Found
0 Lives Used (reloading earlier saves is okay)
Survival Horror Mode
I recommend that you Save as frequently as possible, don’t worry about how long it takes you to get through the game or how many saves you make (as the ever-increasing number in the Save screen can be quite worrying); neither of these matter in terms of your final Ranking.
Currently, a few achievements seem to be bugged (or at least, they have been for me): Achieving an S-Rank and unlocking the Crow Wings; defeating all four optional mini-bosses; find all 15 Secrets, and unlock all four weapon upgrades. Hopefully these will be fixed soon…
Secret Locations
In Fairytale Town, there’s a secret room behind Fairy Pond; at the back right of the room there’s a panel on the wall that can be opened to reveal a mechanical crow inside. Interact with this a couple of times to receive Secret #1, the Magnum Laser.
Through the tiny house door in Fairytale Town, you’ll gain access to the Dig Site. Search the green bucket at the back left, behind the Crane Mechanism to find the Shotgun Laser.
In Fairytale Town you will find a large mushroom that appears to be a doorway. Once this is open, it will allow you to enter the Mush Room. Within, you will find a table with six mushrooms that must be eaten. Three will hurt you, so make sure to heal after each of these. Once all six are eaten, speak with the Mushroom King to find the next Secret - his head will open up to reveal a little mushroom boy to grant you a wish: upgrading your pistol.
In Haunted Hilltop, to the left of the Haunted Mansion, ring the doorbell eight times to gain Magnum Ammo.
In Haunted Hilltop, at the back of The Dungeon there is an Iron Maiden. Interact with it to open it up, walk inside and press the button to gain access to a secret pathway. At the end of the corridor, on the wall to the right of the locked gate there is a hole in the wall with a Magnum Ammo within.
In Haunted Hilltop, within Witch Wood. Once you’ve completed the maze and retrieved the Trident, as you leave, another Secret is hidden in one of the dead-ends: a Magnum Ammo.
Once you have the Silver Key, return outside to the Staff Parking area and open the trunk of the red car to find Running Shoes.
In the main Crow Country area, in the Gift Shop (accessible once you have the Silver Key). Walk round to the back of the counter, where you’ll find a till. Add up the total cost of the items on the list ($19.75) and input this amount into the till to unlock the Magnum.
Also in the Gift Shop, next to the till is a fridge with another little mushroom boy inside - this time he’ll fulfil your wish to improve your Shotgun (as long as you’ve unlocked it).
In the Train Room, once you have the Data Disk you’ll be able to use the computer ‘Orion’s Odyssey’ in the back left hand corner of the room (behind a small curtain). Set Engine to B, 1st Car to D, 2nd Car to A and Caboose to C to unlock a secret compartment in the blue section of the model train, thus gaining you access to another Secret weapon; the Flamethrower.
Once you have the Flamethrower, head back to the Haunted Mansion in Haunted Hilltop. Play ‘CAGE’ on the Piano to unlock a painting behind you to find yet another little mushroom boy, who will upgrade your Flamethrower.
Once you have the Flamethrower, you’ll be able to burn down the wooden door to enter Ocean Kingdom’s Store Room. In here, on a shelf at the back right of the room, you’ll find the final little mushroom boy, who’ll upgrade your Magnum to a Golden version.
Also in the Store Room, there’s a scale underneath the metal Octopus. Use code 1825 to unlock and gain some more Magnum Ammo.
When using the Data Disk in Haunted Hilltop’s Dungeon to access the Acid Bottle by using the terminal, before you leave, change the settings to match a human (2 arms, 2 legs, 1 head and 2 eyes); this will then unlock Ophelia’s tomb in the Crypt, where you can find a Secret Med Kit Upgrade.
Once you have the Acid Bottle, return to the Toilet within the main Crow Country area. In the second stall, there are bones in the toilet - use the Acid to dissolve the bones to reveal a box of Magnum Ammo.
