How to Get & Mine Gold in Pokopia

Gold is a valuable resource in Pokopia, and mining it requires some preparation and specific abilities. This guide will walk you through the process of locating gold deposits in the Rocky Ridges area and upgrading your Rock Smash ability so you can successfully extract it.

Finding Gold in the Mines

Gold ore can be found deep within a large cave located in the Rocky Ridges area. You’ll need to venture deep into the cave system to locate the gold deposits. The gold appears as ore blocks that require a special ability to extract.

Upgrading Your Rock Smash Ability

Before you can mine gold, you’ll need to upgrade your Rock Smash ability. This is a core part of the main storyline progression in the Rocky Ridges area.

How to Upgrade Rock Smash

To upgrade your Rock Smash ability, you need to craft and consume a hamburger. The hamburger recipe requires four green beans cooked in a copper skillet.

Crafting the Hamburger Steak

To make the hamburger steak, locate your copper skillet and prepare the dish with four green beans. Once the hamburger steak is ready, consume it to level up your Rock Smash ability.

After eating the hamburger steak, your Rock Smash ability will be upgraded. The food effects are temporary, so you’ll need to prepare additional hamburgers whenever you want to mine more gold.

Mining Gold With Upgraded Rock Smash

Once your Rock Smash ability is upgraded, you’ll be able to smash through hard rocks and extract gold ore from the cave. Without the upgrade, the gold deposits will be too hard to break through.

Summary

Mining gold in Pokopia is straightforward once you understand the requirements. Upgrade your Rock Smash ability by crafting a hamburger steak with four green beans in a copper skillet, eat it to activate the buff, and then head into the Rocky Ridges cave to extract gold ore from the hard rocks. Remember that the food effect is temporary, so bring materials to craft additional hamburgers for extended mining sessions.
