To unlock the Mines inCookie Run: Kingdom, you need toreach Cookie Castle level six, expand your land to the northeast, and finish a quick quest. Thankfully, hitting level 6 isn’t too hard since the tasks are pretty simple, and the upgrade cost isn’t that high, either. Here’s what you need to reach Cookie Castle level six:

300,000 Coins and 4 Aurora Items

Once your castle is upgraded,clear out the forest near the Mines. You’ll need Aurora Bricks, Aurora Compass, and Enchanted Stake (from Smithy level 5) to clear each section. After that, the “Into the Depths” quest should pop up on the right side of your screen. If it doesn’t, finish a few story quests, and it’ll show up after. If you’re already above level 6 and have cleared the area, the quest will be waiting to wrap up.

To build the Mines, you’ll need the following items:

You can grab all of these items from the Event Shop or Seaside Market, and if you’re running low on Aurora materials,this guide will help you out. The construction wraps up quickly and gives you rewards like 20,000 Coins, 30,000 Kingdom EXP, and a Topping Tart. Once you’re inside the Mines, a short tutorial will play, and then you’re good to go.
