Shiny Goblin
A shiny treasure goblin (bandit mask, loot sack) flees one column from the hammer each row. Only the hammer's own DIRECT strike catches it: chains just scare it away.
How to find it, step by step
- Start any show (campaign, short show or daily practice). The roll happens once per show and cannot be forced.
- Watch the far rows: a golden goblin with a bandit mask and a loot sack appears, with a side card announcing it.
- While it is 2 or more rows away it flees ONE column away from the hammer every row. Plan the column where it will end up when its row reaches the strike line.
- Be in that column when the row arrives: only the hammer's own automatic (direct) strike catches it. Chains, blasts, copies and hammer modules just scare it.
About 40 % of shows have one. Loot: 20 tickets early in the show, 26 / 32 / 38 in arcs 1 / 2 / 3, half a level of XP, +5 Audience and 6 golden normals ahead. Only the automatic strike catches it: chains, blasts, copies and the extra columns of a wider hammer just make it dodge (in the Neon fair the cyan hammer's strike counts too).
Reward
20-38 tickets (more in later arcs), half a level of XP, a little Audience and a golden shower of moles.
Tips
- Stand one column BEHIND where you want it: it runs away from you, so you can herd it toward a wall.
- Against a wall it has nowhere to flee; a goblin in the corner is a free catch.
In-game hint
Something golden runs away from the hammer...
