Celeste is one of the best indie games ever, so there isn’t any surprise to know that it is the winner of the Indie Game of the Year for 2018.
Celeste is a tricky, hardcore, platform that requires a lot of skill for its completing, so you need a lot of patience and a lot of training to reach the end titles.
Recently, the game’s developers have announced a new bunch of levels as free DLC, but only who have already beaten the game at the hardest difficulty level can access to them.
Crystal Hearts And How To Get Them
So, you are ready to know how you can unlock every level in the game?
How to reach Mountain Core
Firstly, you need to know that exists an eight “secret” chapter that you can unlock at the end of the game.
You can access this new bunch of levels obtaining all Crystal Hearts that are collectibles that you can get in the regular levels solving certain puzzles.
The Crystal Hearts are the most tricky collectibles in the game (Strawberries are for children) because they require a lot of skill and power of observation.
After you unlock the Mountain Core, you need to beat it to open its hard mode, like every level in Celeste.
The Hard Mode requires red Crystal Hearts to be unlocked. You can get red Crystal Hearts completing B-Side in every Celeste’s levels.
