The **Golden Key** in MegaBonk is a rare item critical for freeing the hidden monke from its cage. Unlike standard chest keys, it operates under unique mechanics, and missing its rules could cost you a successful run.
How to Find the Golden Key
- It’s a **world spawn item** that appears randomly on the ground during a run.
- Does not drop from chests—ignore standard keys, as they are useless for the cage.
- Must be found in the same run as the locked cage.
- Some players note higher spawn rates in the **Forest stage**, but it’s still random.
Strategies for Success
- **Map exploration is key**: Scan every corner—speed helps, but thoroughness matters more.
- Cannot be forced via upgrades or chest drops; persistence and full clears are essential.
- If you’ve unlocked the Banana, the cage may shake, indicating interactivity.
- **Do not confuse** the Golden Key with regular keys—using the wrong one wastes the run.
