Finding Korok seeds has become a completionist's dream in the past few years: Breath of the Wild had hundreds to discover across its enormous open world and, when Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity came out, fans quickly discovered that there were Korok buddies to track down in that game, too.

Most Korok Seeds come from finding them within story missions. There are a few outliers, though – some Korok Seeds can be discovered inside non-story quests, while others are provided as rewards for completing certain challenges. This guide will walk you through how to find every unique Korok Seed in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. 

Korok Seeds Obtained Inside Non-Story Challenges

This quest asks you to follow a path heading south, with two routes jutting off to the east. Start by capturing the first outpost. Once that's done, don't head for the targeted location immediately. Instead, head directly south. In the southwest corner of the map, there's an abandoned enemy outpost with a few wooden crates inside. Break the one closer to the mountain wall to find a Korok!

At the start of this quest, the heroes must follow Bokoblins before they escape the forest. Instead of following them north, go along the path that continues east. At the very end, that path veers south. You can find the Korok flower where the east-west and south-north paths intersect there.

Defend Hyrule Castle Korok Seed

Upon entering this mission, you'll be prompted to retain control of four outposts. Immediately turn around from where you spawned and head towards the western outpost. Head down the first set of stairs. You'll be prompted to turn right and go down a second set of stairs, but turn left to see a cracked wall there.
