    It is extremely difficult to get 2 gold plorts from a gold slime, let alone 3 plorts. In order to get the achievement easily, you must reach rank 22 from the 7zee rewards club. You should get access to the rewards club on day 7. When you reach rank 22, you will get an item called the golden sureshot, which allows you to get 3 plorts from a single piece of food that you throw at a gold slime. So once you get the sureshot, look around the range and try to find a gold slime. Sometimes I find them near the ranch in the morning. So once you find a gold slime, just shoot a piece of food at it, and the achievement will unlock.

    Edit: It can take a long while to reach rank 22, so you shouldn't focus on this achievement first. Try to fill out your ranch with as many slimes as possible in order to get large amounts of newbucks in a short amount of time.

    Edit 2: There are 3 vaults hidden around the range that have a ton of black treasure pods. Each treasure pod had at least 10 gold plorts in them, and you'll need to build 100 slime gadgets in order to unlock them. You can find the vault locations here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sfDgR2kFbJk

    You'll also need a slime key to open each vault. Use the gold plorts to reach rank 22 quickly, and make sure to go to the moss blanket vault once you reach rank 22 because a ton of gold slimes will appear, and you only need to hit one of them to get the achievement. ALSO, you'll need to beat adventure mode before you can get access to the vaults.

    TwistMckTried it in rush mode but no luck. Looks like it has to be achieved in a standard game

    PhillipWendellI somehow got this as well without trying. Maybe a gold slime ran in front of me? I saw no gold slimes or plorts, but hey, I’ll take it! smile

    With the addition of the 7Zee rewards club, this achievement has actually become about 100x less hard than it was previously before it. At 7Zee rank 22, the player is awarded a gadget called the Golden Sureshot. What this gadget does, is when hitting a gold slime with a fruit or veggie, you are garunteed that the gold slime will drop 3 gold plorts.

    In order to reach 7Zee rank 22, the player must rack up a cumulative of 456,500 Newbucks, which is quite a lot. I will briefly share with you the method I used to get newbucks relatively quickly.

    For this method you will need 2 fully upgraded gardens, 2 fully upgraded corrals and 2 fully upgraded silos. Put these 6 buildings close to each other because you will need to use them often.

    I had a 2-way teleporter going from the lab to the docks. So I had 2 gardens at the lab and then the 2 corrals and the 2 silos at the docks. I put 25 mosaic slimes into each of the 2 corrals, totaling 50 mosaic slimes. I would plant 2 gardens worth of Silver Parsnips and then go to sleep. When I woke up, I would collect the parsnips, shoot them into the corral and then go right back to the ranch house and sleep again. Once there is 100 Mosaic plorts in the auto collector, you suck the plorts out and then put them in the silo.

    (Note that since this solution was made silos have changed from having a maximum of 4 slots, to a maximum of 12 slots each. This means that we can store many more plorts and sell them whenever you feel the price is high enough.)

    The goal is to fill each of the 12 silo slots with 100 Mosaic Plorts (totaling 1200 Mosaic plorts). You would also make the corrals hold 100 each after the silo is filled. (Equaling an extra 200 plorts). Then you would sell all 1400 of the plorts on the same day. If the Mosaic plort wasn't quite at the price I wanted it to be, (which was around 100-110 Newbucks per plort) then I would just sleep until it went to my desired price. Selling 1400 Mosaic Plorts for a minimum of 100 Newbucks each nets exactly 140,000 Newbucks.

    Once you get to a high enough 7Zee reward level to get the vac upgrade that allows you to hold 100 of any item in your vac, it halved the amount of time it took to complete the process.

    Once you have the Golden Sureshot, you must simply hit a gold slime with any fruit or veggie (sometimes hitting it with something other than a fruit or veggie, results in only 1 gold plort being dropped). Below is a video of my recommended farming spot for finding Gold Slimes. It is in the Indigo Quarry past the first Rock Gordo, the pond with the puddle slimes and across the bridge.

    Alternatively, if you have beaten the adventure mode by reading all of Casey's emails, you can go to the teleporter Hobson opened up to his vault in The Moss Blanket. The teleporter to the vault is located past the Feral Hunter Slimes. You will need an extra slime key to access the vault however. There are tons of gold slime that spawn there and you are bound to hit one. Make sure to bring a lot of food to spray at the slimes. Be warned though, the gold slimes only spawn the first time you trigger them. They will not spawn on subsequent visits to the vault.

    Puma3330A way that worked for me was to use a master snare and a gilded ginger to catch a Golden Gordo. Feed it three gilded gingers and it will pop releasing 10 golden slimes. I fed it the last gilded ginger from a distance so that when it popped and the gold slimes burst out they didn't immediately disappear. Then I just rained a resource from the same distance and ended up with all 10 producing 3 golden plorts.

    Law RamAnyone know where this area is. Video is unavailability

    Ace Annihilates@Law Ram it depends, do you mean the area with the vault? It is located in the moss blanket past the Gordo Hunter spikes that relentless attack you.

    If you mean the spot I used to farm gold slimes, it is in the indigo quarry. There should be an area with puddle slimes and a broken wooden bridge. Cross the wooden bridge and the island there is where I farmed gold slimes. You just need to keep sucking up slimes as they spawn and shooting them out to sea to clear up space in your vac pack. Every time a normal slime pops out of the wall, it has a chance to be a gold slime.

    Here's my video guide where I talk about the Golden Sureshot upgrade, show you how to get to the Moss Blanket vault, and talk about how to snare a gold Gordo (after the next update):

    rL FernThanks for sharing this, was wandering around waiting for one for a while (had accidently walked into one before getting sure shot) this is such an easy and quick way to get it. Thank you
