Another Crab’s Treasure Heartkelp Sprout Locations

There are 6 Heartkelp Sprouts in the game, and they are all scattered around different areas as you progress through your sea journey. Each of them increases your maximum Hearthkelp limit by one (to a maximum of 9), which helps immensely as bosses start hitting harder the more you advance through the game.

1 – Moonsnail Caves

  • Another Crab's Treasure Heartkelp Sprout 1 Extra
  • Another Crab's Treasure Heartkelp Sprout 1

Use the floating platform next to the orange scissors to reach the top, then Jump + Swim + air attack to make your way to the Sprout.

2 – New Carcinia

Bought in the Prawn Shop for 5000 Microplastics. Available as soon as the Treasure Hunt begins.

3 – The Sands Between

  • Map location of a specific place in Another Crab's Treasure
  • Heartkelp Sprout location in Another Crab's Treasure
  • Map location for a hearthkelp sprout in Another Crab's Treasure

Available once you get the Mantis Punch Adaptation. Head to the eastern portion of The Sands Between and use it on the Umami block blocking the way to reach the Secluded Ridge zone. The Heartkelp is guarded by a huge hammer-using Crab next to the Ridge Overlook teleport.

4 – The Sands Between

  • A place to use your Adaptation in Another Crab's Treasure
  • Map location for a hearthkelp sprout in Another Crab's Treasure
  • Heartkelp Sprout location in Another Crab's Treasure

Once you obtain the Eelectrocute Adaptation from Flotsam Vale, return to Flotsam Runoff teleport and head straight until you see a metal crab. Use the Adaptation on it to lift a bridge to a new area, where you can find the Heartkelp to the east side.

5 – The Unfathom

  • Where to use your hook to grab an item in Another Crab's Treasure
  • Heartkelp Sprout location in Another Crab's Treasure
  • Map location for a hearthkelp sprout in Another Crab's Treasure

After passing through the purple LEDs next to the Hermit’s Plateau save point, climb your way up instead of following through the drain. The Kelp is found inside a shell chest guarded by two enemies on the top.

6 – Carcinia, the Bleached City

  • Where to go to grab the final Heartkelp in Another Crab's Treasure
  • Heartkelp Sprout location in Another Crab's Treasure
  • Map location for a hearthkelp sprout in Another Crab's Treasure

Head to the Lookout Tower teleport and backtrack for a while until you find the seafoam cans. Use them to form your path to where the Heartkelp is hidden. This involves some rather complicated platforming, so be careful with your Microplastics!

Your Heartkelps are more powerful the more health you have, and certain Stowaways will also increase their effectiveness. But having extra heals won’t be enough if you can’t keep yourself alive and kicking, so make sure to grab some Bloodstar Limbs too!
