Dig Through the Ground or Walls

Treasure chests can be found buried in the ground or walls, they spawn randomly across each layer, meaning they don't appear in fixed locations. To get them, you need to dig through terrain and punch the chest once you see one.

It’s especially effective in zones with soft terrain and minimal obstacles such as the Canyon Layer, where you can cover more ground quickly.

Treasure chests may contain maps which contain locations of Fossils or Banandium Gems buried in the map.

Upon obtaining a map, the fossil or Banandium Gem will be marked in the 3D map, so you can find it later.

Treasure chests can also contain gold, which is used to gain Bananergy, purchase items from the Stuff Shop, or offer to Growtones to get Banandium Gems.
