Here's a quick guide on how to find all strawberries in Celeste.
Strawberries are some of the most tempting collectibles in Celeste, but finding each one is a different beast altogether. Many are concealed just off the main path, while others demand careful movement and a good understanding of the room. If you want to collect them all, patience is as important as platforming skill.
Explore All Corners
The best strawberries are usually near the main path, but always be sure to explore some of the more unusual looking areas. Suspicious gaps, narrow passages and platforms that don’t look right can often lead to a collectible. Don’t rush through the rooms. A strawberry may be just seconds away from where you are on your path.
Find Alternative Routes
Some strawberries require you to take a not immediately obvious route. You might have to go higher, or the other way, or take a longer way around to find one.
Look at the design of the rooms. Celeste drops subtle hints often about where you can go, so experiment when something looks suspicious. Try to look at places you wouldn’t normally think of looking.
Use Your Abilities Wisely
As you progress, Madeline learns new movement abilities which unlock new routes. Some strawberries are designed for, and with proper use of these skills. Before you make a hard attempt, take a second to look around and figure out your route. Knowing where you want to go makes the actual jump much easier.
The Strawberry Rule
One clever trick is that you don’t always have to safely come back after grabbing a strawberry. It can be collected in many rooms and you can intentionally fall back to a safe area.
Some collectibles are a lot less stressful. Once you've figured out the room, stop thinking about how to get out and start thinking about how to get to the strawberry.
Write Down What You Miss
If you want to collect every strawberry, keep track of the strawberries you've found. This saves you from having to search the same spots over and over. You don’t need to collect everything on your first run either. And some strawberries get a lot easier when you have a better understanding of Madeline's movement.
Conclusion
Finding every strawberry in Celeste takes patience, exploration, and a lot of trial and error. Explore side paths, test out your powers, re-read chapters when you need. Every tough strawberry you pick is another indication that you’re getting better at the game. Once you have found almost all the strawberries you can possibly find, you can play the game with an unique sense of satisfaction.
