Hidden Hermit

"Here’s another top tip!"

- Hidden Hermit,Tip 2: How to boost both the fun factor and your score Hidden Hermit is a non-playable Cookie in Cookie Run. Although it never appears in any of the gameplay, it always comes around giving players some tips in the Cookie Run Newsletter. It would appear most of the time when new content has arrived to promote the respective content to the players.

It was first introduced on October 20, 2014, where Edge of the World (Cookie Run's 3rd season) was launched. Knowing that some players have trouble with collecting coins, the Hidden Hermit springs out of hiding to give players official tips to collect coins in the Cookie Run Newsletter.

On November 28, a section of the game notice added some tips on how to maximise the game featuring the Hidden Hermit.

Trivia

 * Although it is part of the Cookie Run canon, it never had a sprite of its own.
 * Its first newsletter features a background that resembles the lobby background of Primeval Jungle, which hadn’t been released yet at the time of Season 3.
 * Its third newsletter features a screenshot with a Level 60 Energy. At the point the newsletter was released, the maximum amount of energy upgrade was level 40. The level 60 energy upgrade was released 5 months after the newsletter came.
 * Hermit by definition means a person who lives in seclusion from society. As a person who hides themself, the Hidden Hermit only came out of its hiding to give useful tips to players. Some of the tips which are not related to specific cookies/pets/items (except four elements item) could be permanently accessed from the inbox (this included Game Crashes fix, Special Bonus Time, Treasure Draw Season and Save Cookies with Crystal.)
 * The Hidden Hermit is the first cookie to not have "Cookie" in its name, the second being Ginger Claus.
