Kirby And The Forgotten Land Ability Blueprints Guide

Kirby And The Forgotten Land is all about beating up enemies in abandoned malls and industrial wastelands to rescue Waddle Dees. To do so, upgrading Kirby's abilities--from drills to guns--is an important part of gameplay. There are 21 such blueprints to discover throughout all the different worlds' stages. Some are easy to find and some are a little harder to get to. The ones marked with two asterisks (**) are the ones you might need to keep an extra eye out for. Here's where to find all Ability Blueprints.

Everbay Coast

Scale the Cement Summit

• Clutter Needle Blueprint: Located under blocks you need to blow up.

The Wondaria Dream Parade**

Winter Horns

Windy, Freezing Seas**

• Dragon Fire Blueprint: Located in a treasure box in the area where the wind blows players down a corridor. This is the same corridor where you'll find the hidden passageway's entrance. Defrost the scissor list, ride over to the left-hand side, and hop on the ledge on the right-hand side.

Alivel Mall (Staff Side)

• Wild Hammer Blueprint: You can find it in the treasure chest in the hidden room in the middle of the stage. The entrance is indicated by a single red star. A hidden Waddle Dee is in there as well. You'll need to fight Wild Bonkers (hammer-wielding enemy) to access this.

Moonlight Canyon**

Gathering of the Beast Council**

• Storm Tornado Blueprint: Right after defeating Klawroline, go forward and then go to the right-hand side. The blueprint will be hidden in a little nook recessed into the platform. This is before the coaster, so do not go into mouthful mode on the coaster or else you'll miss the blueprint.

Waddle Dee Town

• Masked Hammer Blueprint: After beating the game (and defeating a cosmic god), go back into town and find the snoozing King Dedede. He'll give you the blueprint.
• Meta Knight Sword Blueprint: Fight your first round at the Colosseum, and you'll get this reward.
