How to Get Golden Apples

Collected from Golden Apple Hedgehogs in Grey Rock Dock

# Objectives
1
Grey Rock Dock Location
Head to Grey Rock Dock, located northwest of Demeniss. You’ll need to liberate the area from Wolf Trackers first if you haven’t already to start farming Golden Apples.
2
Run toward the pumpkin patch, then back to the intersection past the dock entrance to respawn critters and hope a Golden Apple Hedgehog spawns. If no critters appear, try fast traveling to a nearby Abyss Nexus and returning to Grey Rock Dock.
3
Shoot the hedgehog with your bow to have it drop the Golden Apple and steal it. Immediately run out of the red circle on the minimap to avoid getting a bounty.

If you’re having trouble shooting the hedgehog, you can pick it up and drop it, as this will make it stop for a few seconds before it runs away again, giving you a window to shoot.

How to Use Golden Apples

Type Rare Material
Description
A strange fruit visible only to hedgehogs. The Golden Apple Tree can’t be seen with human eyes, so if you want to get a Golden Apple, you’ll need to watch the ground as you move around, not the trees. If you see a glimmering light atop a hedgehog’s back, do not lose sight of it; follow wherever it leads.
