Magical Gold

Magical Gold is an Achievement in Bloons TD 6, introduced in the 26.0 update. To earn the achievement, the player must pop 50 Golden Bloons on Magic Monkeys Only. Completing the achievement rewards 150 and an Insta-Monkey of a Ninja Monkey with Flash Bomb (0-0-3).

Strategy

General Information

• There are 6 golden bloons per game, with the first one appearing randomly somewhere in Rounds 21 to 30.
  • A minimum of 9 games is required to get this achievement.
• Any Golden Bloon pops count immediately towards the achievement, even if the end result of the save is a loss. The main point of surviving longer is to catch more Golden Bloons per save.
• Refrain from exiting to the main menu, as that can cause Golden Bloons to no longer spawn after reloading a save.

General Tips

• The easiest way to farm for this achievement is by playing on Beginner maps, although getting progress on harder maps is still possible.
• Flash Bomb is the only practical solution to pop Golden Bloons, due to its reliable ability to stall the Golden Bloon until it can get popped. Buying Ninja Discipline helps make it more consistent.
  • The fact that Golden Bloons gain the Lead property on Rounds 41+ helps ensure that only the Flash Bomb projectiles hit the Golden Bloon, and thus stun it. Avoiding purchasing Acidic Mixture Dip can help the consistency of this strategy by avoiding the possibility of triggering the Golden Bloon's invulnerability.
  • Simply having more Flash Bomb ninjas is much cheaper than trying to buff a single Flash Bomb with Shinobi Tactics.
  • A 3-0-0 Druid is a stalling tower, but it's unreliable.
• For hero choice, go for a hero who will not have potential to trigger the Golden Bloon's invincibility.
  • Benjamin is a good choice as he is purely a support hero that does not attack. His income generation is generally excellent for any strategy.
  • Psi is another good choice for this achievement, as they can never target Golden Bloons outside of their no-damage Psionic Blast ability.
  • Conversely, Obyn Greenfoot and Gwendolin are poor choices for this achievement, due to them being able to hit the Golden Bloon (if decamo'd) and triggering its invincibility, but dealing low damage.

Hbomb's Strategy

(Initially made for v26.0. Tested as of v48.0 to reliably pop ~5 Golden Bloons per game.)

1. Start with a 2-0-1 Ninja near the start of the path.
2. Place Benjamin.
3. Upgrade the Ninja to 4-0-2, then alchemize it with a 4-2-0 Alchemist.
4. Start spamming 1-0-3 Ninjas near the end of the track.
5. Near the end of the game, place a 4-0-2 Wizard to help clear the late rounds.
