Celeste: Complete Guide to Every Strawberry and Crystal Heart
How to find all collectibles in each chapter, with tips for the trickiest hidden rooms.
Chapter 1 — Forsaken City
Chapter 1 introduces all core mechanics: dashing, wall climbing, and spring jumps. There are 20 strawberries and 1 Crystal Heart here.
Crystal Heart: Found in a hidden room after the end of the chapter. After the final door, go left and climb up instead of exiting. Look for a cracked wall.
Tricky strawberry: The one that follows you (moves when you land) — don't touch it until you've cleared the path all the way to the next safe platform. Land there, then grab it and sprint.
Chapter 2 — Old Site
The dream sequences in this chapter hide most of the strawberries. Pay attention to the two dream blocks — they warp you to an alternate version of the room where collectibles are placed differently.
Crystal Heart: Requires the Badeline chase sequence to be completed. At the end, instead of heading toward the exit, search the room above the final chase platform.
Chapter 6 — Reflection
This is where most players get stuck. Chapter 6 introduces Mirror Temple mechanics and has the most complex Crystal Heart puzzle: you must collect a sequence of keys without backtracking.
Key Crystal Heart sequence: Collect keys in this order — Blue, Red, Green, Yellow. The Yellow key room is behind a fake wall in the library section. If you enter any door with the wrong key count, reload the checkpoint.
B-Sides and C-Sides
Each chapter has a B-Side (unlocked by finding a Cassette Tape hidden in the main chapter) and a C-Side (unlocked by completing the chapter's B-Side). C-Sides are brutally short but extremely difficult — they're designed for completionists.
You don't need strawberries for any story completion. They're purely optional — great for challenge seekers but irrelevant to finishing the game's narrative.
