How to Farm Gold

Add to Watchlist

How to Farm Gold

You can get Gold in Donkey Kong Bananza by destroying rocks and walls throughout the world. Learn how to farm Gold and what Gold is used for here!

How to Farm Gold

Best Ways to Farm Gold



Destroy the Environment

You can get Gold by destroying the environment such as rocks, walls, and concrete surfaces.

Make sure you take the time to destroy the environment when exploring if you're also looking to farm Gold!
How to Break Concrete

Use Hand Slap to Collect Gold Efficiently

Using Hand Slap allows Donkey Kong to collect all the gold in an area and is a more efficient way to collect them.

If you find a spot in the world where there's a lot of scattered gold about, use the ground slap move to collect them all at once!

How to Hand Slap

Look for Gold Spouts

Gold Spouts are sometimes found underground and appear to be spouting molten particles in the air. Destroying these will reward a lot of Gold, so make sure to look out for them when exploring the underground levels.

Open Treasure Chests

You can also get Gold from Treasure Chests. These usually have maps, but they may also contain a lot of Gold so keep a look out for them!

How to Find Treasure Chests

Treasure Tie Increases Chance of Finding Treasure Chests

Treasure Tie

Wearing the Treasure Tie neckwear boosts treasure chest spawn rates by 10%. It's a good idea to have it equipped if you're trying to farm gold.

Look Out for Bonus Stages

Challenges That Reward Gold

Around certain locations, there will be special Gold-colored Ruins. Keep an eye out for these as their main purpose is to give you a lot of gold. It is currently not known if these can be repeatedly done or not.

Should You Farm Gold?

Not Required Until Late-Game

Given its abundance, there really is no need to actively farm for gold. Gold will only be required once the player reaches the Forbidden Layer, where DK is required to save up 17,000 Gold in order to progress the story.

The maximum amount of Gold you can have is 999,999.99 Gold.

What is Gold Used For?

Gain Bananergy

Collecting Gold fills up your Bananergy Meter which allows you to use Bananza Powers for exploration and combat!

List of Bananza Powers and Transformations

Used to Purchase Useful Items at the Stuff Shop

Gold is used to purchase items from the Stuff Shop which include items that can help you in exploration and combat, such as the Melon Juice which allows you to use a Bananza Power without a full Bananergy meter.

Offer to Growtones for Banandium Gems

Certain Growtones will ask for Gold to be offered to them. By sharing your Gold, the Growtones will sprout branches and reward you with Banandium Gems.

We've seen at least one Growtone in the Canyon Layer produce up to three Banandium Gems after being offered a total of 2000 Gold.

All Growtone Locations

Offer to Architectones to Create Getaways

By talking to an Architectone, you can create small Getaways in exchange for Gold. These Getaways are small areas where DK and Pauline can rest, change outfits, and play music from Disks.

The price for building these Getaways have been shown to differ going from 100 Gold going up to 1200 Gold depending on the number of Getaways in the Layer.
