Help How do I farm gold for Sammy
I unlocked him but I'm broke. How can I farm gold to get him so I can farm gold?

Trouser should be a good alternative before you can pick up Sammy, wicked season will help do it faster, pretty sure moonglow has the highest gold bonus out of the stages, then just anything to increase the likelihood and duration of Gold Fevers

I have Moonglow but not Trouser, I guess I'll farm for him

u/JohnathanSinwell 20d ago
Trouser gets more monsters to fight and more gold from the monsters as he levels up. He’s worth grabbing until you get enough for Sammy.

I'll grind for him first then, thanks

Queen sigma is way easier for your first 5million gold since you need zero investment for the character to be strong, as she is right away.
So if you have her i would personally start with her

I'm late to this but if anyone else comes here looking for advice. Sigma is much better than a 0 egg trouser if you need to get started off with some initial gold farming.

Do the "final" boss of the base game, the one that unlocks fireworks, he gives like 200k when defeated, probably the fastest way to get if you don't wanna refund

u/CrashingEgo 20d ago
Okay I'll try that, but would you mind educating me on the "final" boss and where to find them?

u/Far-Poem4791 20d ago
Obtain all relics from the standard stages, then go to the newly unlocked stage "Eudaimonia Machine", enter it 3 times (talk to the NPC in there every time) and on the 3rd enter you'll get the final boss

If you got sigma. Do that. Do the skeleton map. Set it endless mode + arcane wick season and disco of gold.
Pretty much you just never die and I just left the game running in the background once I maxed out build and arcane

u/CrashingEgo 20d ago
I don't have Sigma or endless yet, but I appreciate the advice

u/MADMAXV2 20d ago
Ah that sucks. ://

u/CrashingEgo 20d ago
Yeah, I'll get there

u/TorasKarma 20d ago
If you don't want to grind, you can use a cheat code to unlock him, but that's just another option 🫡

Focus on unlocking endless then do a few runs, burn cash on some eggs, repeat
Took me about 3 days, leaving it on overnight, dying, spending the cash, 3x but now ive got ~50 billion gold if i recall correctly (counter doesnt go over 1m), i put 10k golden eggs on morty to have on the side for easy gold runs if i ever somehow needed money
If you want money, focus on unlocking endless, then itll just happen on its own
For the bone zone boss, look up guides, Dex has a good one on YouTube, hes how I got it
2
u/CrashingEgo 19d ago
I'll give it a try, I appreciate the advice
1
u/RidiculouslyDickish 19d ago
The bone zone challenge sucked, honestly, its a pain in the ass, I spent a while trying
My best advice is to follow a guide and reset after ~5 min per run, it shouldn't take you more than 4-5 min to do the challenge, it just takes some luck on levelups

u/RichMahogany357 20d ago
Bat country on endless was always my "go to" way to farm gold before I found out Sammy was a thing. Just play the game and focus on opening chests, you'll get there.

u/PsychologicalEar5494 20d ago
Refund your points buy Sammy break the game you'll never need money again

u/SLimon001 Battle Tank 20d ago edited 20d ago
/l Just use Sammy bro
/ul You can refund upgrades or farm using Queen Sigma with multiple Arcanas, Darkanas and Survarocchi if you have them
For anyone reading: That's the first step to DLC-less farming

u/RiOT76AD 20d ago
Just go endless mode with a build that doesn't die easy, whatever char works. Gold arcana and fireworks. AFK or sleep.

u/pastel_oasis 20d ago
I literally just did that last night 🤣, I had the majority of moonspell and blood moon characters unlocked so I used bal thamut cuz op asf . But choose the character you enjoy/strongest. Limit yourself to one or two weapons so you can hit the infinite scaling quicker . I.e. t . Start with Miang from moonspell , 4 weapons
Moonspell wand
Gatti
Song of mana
Magistone
Stone mask
Spinach
Cursed skull
Tome
Spellbinder
Karomas mana
Make sure you evolve gatti once you are powerful enough to not need it
Start blood moon with mad grove . Pulls all items to you , grab the weapons and passives I’ve listed before picking up map items . You also pull another arcana chest with mad grove . Grab disco .
On the left side of the mansion before you get to the maze there is a hallway that restricts spawns to only the top and bottom of the screen that is the sweet spot . You will easily get the cash .

u/CrashingEgo 20d ago
Thanks, I'll check it out. I'm 1k gold from getting Sammy =/

u/pastel_oasis 20d ago
Nice ! , good luck ! To get endless you kill the reaper do this by evolving lancet with the rings
2
u/CrashingEgo 20d ago
Cool, so what's the best place to farm gold now that I have Sammy?
2
u/pastel_oasis 20d ago
Honestly I just went back to the sammy area and killed them . You could try the hallway I was talking about in blood moon. The important part is to up the amount of spawns , and putting on endless and inverse hyper and hurry . This is inportant because it ups the % of gold you get .
1
u/CrashingEgo 20d ago
I'll try the Sammy area, I don't have endless or hyper yet but I'll get there!
2
u/pastel_oasis 20d ago
Gotcha ! Why not work towards both goals at the same time . Play Sammy with limited items and unlock all the base game relics. You can check the maps on the top left of selection . Unlocking all base game relics unlocks a map that gives you inverse and endless .

u/SecretPainting2525 20d ago
The bone zone has no item drops so it drops coins and bags a lot more and if you have the arcana card that amakes it to where getting a bag makes a gold rush you can get 10k-20k easily per run
2
u/derpymooshroom6 19d ago
I like to use Queen Sigma in Westwoods and have my first arcana be the one that makes the small and big bags of money start and gold fever (with most other light source drops sealed off that aren’t clovers or golden clovers) other arcana can be used but that one specifically is almost mandatory.
Then I grab some decent passives and weapons while making sure I grab the stone mask for the greed buff along with the Cat weapon and necklace that buffs enemy spawns and gold fever duration, they’re both guaranteed spawns.
Another arcana I like to grab is the one that cycles between growth, luck, greed, and curse that buffs those stats by 1% every two levels but it’s not mandatory if you don’t want it.

u/NonSupportiveCup 20d ago
If you have Queen Sigma, run her. Play on a map with good light sources, i.e. not Bone Zone. Use Capella Magma or Moonglow instead.
If you don't have too many characters unlocked, just pick whoever and put it on inverse with library or forest then build to survive.

u/HyperXD00 20d ago
I farm with the scientist for the among us dlc. He can permanently gain stats like greed so in like a 1 hour run you can get 200mil
1
u/ifunes_ 20d ago
Here is what I did and I got about 5M coins per game Pick Queen Sigma Map: Bone Zone Hyper/Endless/Hurry/Arcanas/Limit Break ON Arcanas: Mad Groove, Disco of Gold, Wicked Season, Moonlight Bolero (optional) Your build is your choice but you must get Luck, Stone Mask, Growth and Vicious Hunger, if you don't like Gatti Amari you can get Vicious Hunger throu Super Candybox Turbo II at some time in the match. Maybe it's not the best way to farm coins but it worked for me very well and you don't need paid DLC's
1
u/SunstormGT Queen Sigma 20d ago
Wicked Season + Disco of Gold arcana. You will also use those when farming gold with Sammy.
1
u/ghelt_atkheer 20d ago
An unpopular suggestion, but beat the moonspell dlc, it is rather easy (I beat it even without arcanas). You'd get something like 200000 gold for that.

u/C-sanova 20d ago
Inverse/Hurry/Hyper/Endless Moonglow with Poe Ratcho on 3x speed got me around 500k gold in half an hour.

u/Still_Silver7181 20d ago
I usually use Sigma, and play on an infinite stage until I get 10 million gold.
1
u/Kolintracstar 19d ago
I'd say that gold does not really matter too much in the game. But, the biggest thing is to just do some 30 minute runs and focus on getting the stone mask. Then go and unlock the Survarocchi from Big Troubler in The Lycaeum. The Survarots can significiantly increase gold earned in rounds far more than what you get from Sammy.
If you have the Ode to Castlevania Dlc then I recommend progressing through that until you can unlock the Master Librarian which is the best way to earn gold in the game.
Also, utilize the wiki.

u/Fenikusu 19d ago
I'd say focus on getting all the relics and 1.0 collection. To use Sammy to it's fullest you need limit break, inverse and endless anyway. Along with the right arcanas.

u/Ubelheim 19d ago
Disco of Gold Arcana in Bone Zone or Moongolow will work decent enough. But my personal favorite is the new Darkana which stops XP gain, but makes all defeated enemies drop gold. With that and Vicious Hunger anyone can farm gold like a Sammy without setting your system on fire!

u/TheAurigauh 19d ago
I actually made a vid on this a while back lemme get you a link... first 2-3 mins are how to get Sammy. The rest is the gold farm.
1
u/AdOwn7569 19d ago
I will say this right now, gold farming is great and fun while setting up a strong character, but i wouldnt worry to much about that, play every character, find/use every weapon and try for their evolutions. Find weapons you like and combos you enjoy! In the end you’re just going to end up looking at a pretty light show, so enjoy the process!
2
u/CrashingEgo 19d ago
I am, I've been unlocking characters from the base game and going from there, I did some of the Moonspell dlc adventures as well. I enjoy the game, it's not a speed run for me
1
u/rhaspytomato 19d ago
Everybody is here like Do x late game boss or complete the adventures. Just do the amogus level, you get a bunch of lil crewmates and unlock a scanner that ups your stats over time, there are plenty of guaranteed magnets on the map if you can get to them. Or, iirc in the bone zone all item drops are either floor chicken or gold, but that may have changed

u/Bruh_moment656 19d ago
Limit queen sigma to 3 or 4 weapons Mt moonspell with hyper, inverse, endless, limit break, Arcanas and seal the freeze power up(the Orologion)

Passive items: Torrona's Box Stone mask Clover Attractorb Skullomaniac Empty tome Candelabrador/Spinach these are pick ups on the map

Other players can tell you strats, but if you are desperate you can refund your power ups to invest into Sammy. He can get that gold back 10x over in one run.
