Here’s how to upgrade your Inventory with the Backpack Pocket in Creatures of Ava.

All Backpack Pocket locations in Creatures of Ava

There are six Backpack Pockets in Creatures of Ava. Finding two of these will automatically upgrade your Inventory by five slots. Locate the other four Backpack Pockets, and you can upgrade a second and final time with another five slots for your Inventory.

Most Backpack Pocket spawns are tied to bases. These are the buildings in each region that require power to function and include a Teleporter to use for fast travel whenever you fancy. It’s vital you explore a region fully, as only the Tamura Grasslands remain unlocked from start to finish. If you fail to locate those Kits or complete all Side Quests for one region, you will be locked out of it once prompted to reactivate the Cogstone’s power (to access the next region for the main story).

We will detail below whether you need a specific ability (unlocked in shrines) or a certain creature to help clear the path toward the Backpack Pocket.
