Special Episode 2
Warning for huge images because I didn’t edit the screenshots.
The Tower of Frozen Waves is made of 50 mini stages. They told us to wait for more to come. Each stage has 3 mini missions that award one blue star each. With 150 stars you get a new treasure (last picture). Strobilanthes oliganthus that rescue/revives you with 66 Energy once plus 5% Experience Bonus. Probably more when upgraded but it’s not visible on the Treasure Book.
Just a piece of advice: save your keys when you’re about to get this update on Line. Kakao players would need 150 keys if they don’t fail any mission. Of course, most of them (including me) wasn’t prepared. Mission list for the first 14 floors on the right (click to enlarge). Some missions have a “tolerance” for skipping collecting items, but a few are really tough and you can’t skip any jelly. Make use of treasures that produce jellies, save you from colliding, increase speed or duration of ‘parties’ and stuff. Be creative with those treasures you thought you would never use.
At the fourth screenshot, you can see the icon of a Fortune Cookie with the number ‘5’ right beside the Inbox icon, click there to go to your “tray” and oven.
Fortune Cookies
Personally I think this is so messed up… Because the main plot of this game is about cookies running away from the oven of a witch. Now you’re cooking them?!? Just because they’re different?? This seems like genocide or cannibalism to me… Anyway.
There are four types of Fortune Cookies: Brown, Silver, Gold and Rainbow. After you get one by succeeding a mission, you need to bake it on the oven to be able to open it and get a random prize from the list on the right. You can buy two more ovens using coins and the time needed for each type of cookie is 30min, 6h, 24h and 72h respectively. Possible prizes:
Brown: Crystals (1 – 5); Coins (1,000 – 10,000); 1 Supreme Ticket; 1 Golden Ticket; Treasure Slots (3 – 5); 1 S-ingredient; Keys (3 – 5); Boost Sets (1 – 3); Gift Points (100 – 300); Lives (5 – 20) or Fortune Cookies (brown or silver).
Silver: Crystals (3 – 15); Coins (3,000 – 20,000); 1 S-Treasure; 1 Supreme Ticket; Treasure Slots (3 – 10); 1 SS-ingredient; Magic Powder (400 – 3,000); Keys (3 – 10); 1 Elixir (M or G); Boost Sets (1 – 5); Gift Points (200 – 500); Lives (10 – 30) or Fortune Cookies (brown, silver or gold).
Gold: Crystals (5 – 30); Coins (5,000 – 30,000); S-Treasure (1 – 3); 1 Supreme Ticket; Treasure Slots (3 – 10); 1 SS-ingredient; 1 S-ingredient; Magic Powder (500 – 5,000); Keys (5 – 15); 1 Elixir (G or L); Boost Sets (3 – 7); Gift Points (300 – 800); Lives (20 – 50) or Fortune Cookies (all possible).
Rainbow: Crystals (10 – 100); Coins (10,000 – 50,000); S-Treasure (1 – 7); 1 Supreme Ticket; Treasure Slots (3 – 15); 1 SS-ingredient; Magic Powder (2,000 – 8,000); Keys (10 – 20); 1 Elixir (G til XL); Gift Points (500 – 1,000) or Fortune Cookies (all possible).

Other new forms of cookies and pet’s treasures after evolution, usually with increased points:
Peppermint Candy Cookie & Paper Ship
When the bar above his head fills up, he rides on a giant whale. The ‘jump’ and ‘slide’ buttons turn into dolphins and you must press it repeatedly to summon the dolphins that will collect the bubbles and destroy whatever is ahead.
There’s not much to say about him (I thought he was a girl). His body is similar to Snow Sugar or Blackberry Cookie in movement. You have the feel it’s not that fast. And he ‘rides’ a whale, so it must count as a ride and you can use saddles. Magnetic aura is not mandatory and he scores just fine for me. I don’t know if more than Lemon Cookie though. I think people haven’t found the right combi yet. His pet makes Sea Bubbles in regular intervals. When together you get extra points for all jellies. Now for the treasures: 5,000 extra points for Sea Bubbles (pet) and 1,000 extra points for jellies during a ride (cookie) when maxed.
Time for the deep meaning behind… When people speculate about the inspiration Devsisters had. I think Peppermint Candy was based on a 1999 movie with the same name. You can see the same look in the eyes. I think Peppermint is really depressed. And the pet and concept was a tribute to the victims of the sinking of MV Sewol on April 2014.

Overall
It was a great update. I don’t really like Lime Cookie (don’t ask me why) and Peppermint arrived at the right time. His skill animation in progress is beautiful and he’s very easy to play with. The fortune cookies are not a big deal. There’s a lot of possible prizes and you’re likely to get something unwanted. Devsisters looks like they’ve read my mind when I said that Cookie Run has very few ‘phases’. Special Episode II solved not only that issue but the long time needed for every run that was making Cookie Run less of a “casual game”. I’ve also noticed a certain pattern when making new treasures in the past few updates. I think they’re trying to make the treasure choice more “eclectic” by mixing energy drain, revive ability, speed, extra points and effects (giant mode, blasts, ride, etc.) to give life to new possibilities, aka new combinations. Let’s see if more of them make into the rank in the future.
Thanks for the concise update in English. I really appreciate it.
Thank you so much. I think this is the most complete explanation about Cookie Run for Kakao in English. God Job, dude!
