It can’t be said that the map of Slime Rancher is small. There are many unique locations to explore, each home to different types of slimes, all requiring distinct strategies to handle. However, the game isn’t just about slimes; you can also engage with other elements like gadgets.

In fact, if you craft enough gadgets, you can purchase an upgrade called the Treasure Cracker, which allows you to hunt for hidden treasure pods scattered throughout the game’s locations. With over 100 treasure pods to discover, finding them all can be challenging—that’s why we’ve prepared this guide for you!

How To Unlock Treasure Pods


Treasure Pods are chests that contain various loot, including materials for crafting gadgets, cosmetic items, and slime skins. They are divided into three categories: green, blue, and purple. You cannot open them directly. To open them, you first need to purchase the Lab expansion located to the south of your ranch for 10,000 Newbucks.

After that, you need to craft a certain number of gadgets and purchase the Treasure Crackers, which allow you to open the pods, from the machine next to your house on the ranch.

In addition to these, if you have purchased the Secret Style DLC, some Treasure Pods will be added to your game. No cracker is required to open them, and they allow you to change the appearance of your slimes. After obtaining them, you can make these changes from the menu in your house on the ranch.

There aren’t many treasure pods on the Ranch, only two. To collect them, you’ll need to purchase certain expansions.

All Treasure Pod Locations In The Dry Reef


The player is looking at the pink slimes in Dry Reef area in Slime Rancher.

It wouldn’t be wrong to call Dry Reef the first area of the game, as you find the most common slimes here, and you need to pass through Dry Reef to reach most other areas. There are a lot of treasure pods here.

All Treasure Pod Locations In The Moss Blanket


The player is looking at the mossy trees inside the Moss Blanket in Slime Rancher.

Moss Blanket is a lush, tree-filled area located to the northwest of Dry Reef. It is home to various types of slimes, and it can be considered a complex area. There are quite a few treasure pods here.

All Treasure Pod Locations In The Indigo Quarry


The player is located inside Indigo Quarry in Slime Rancher.

Indigo Quarry is an area located to the northeast of Dry Reef. It is home to Rad Slimes, Boom Slimes, and Crystal Slimes. The area features volcanic landscapes, and you can also access an island called Ash Island from here. There are almost as many treasure pods here as in Dry Reef and Moss Blanket.

All Treasure Pod Locations In The Nimble Valley


The player is located inside the Nimble Valley's beginner track in Slime Rancher.

To reach Nimble Valley, you need to purchase the Grotto expansion and unlock the slime door to The Indigo Quarry. You also have to complete a trade with Mochi Miles at least once through the range exchange and read the email she sends you. This will allow you to teleport from the Grotto to her ranch.

From there, you can go to Nimble Valley, but you won’t have access to the map. There are two race tracks: the Beginner Track, which is closest to the teleporter, and the Advanced Track, which is farther away from it.

All Treasure Pod Locations In The Wilds


The player is located inside the Wilds in Slime Rancher.

You can reach The Wilds from Ogden’s Retreat. To access it, you need to unlock Moss Blanket and purchase The Overgrowth expansion for your ranch. Additionally, you must complete at least one Range Exchange trade with Ogden Ortiz. Also, you cannot access the map in The Wilds.

All Treasure Pod Locations In The Slimeulation


The player is exploring the Slimeulation in Slime Rancher.

To access the Slimeulation, you must unlock the Ancient Ruins slime gate and purchase the Lab expansion in your ranch for 10,000 Newbucks. After that, you need to buy the Treasure Cracker MK II. Finally, you must complete at least one Range Exchange trade with Viktor Humphries and read the starmail he sends you.

Once you’ve done this, you can use the teleporter in the Lab to travel to Viktor’s Workshop, where you can teleport to the Slimeulation. Also, you cannot access the map in The Slimeulation.

All Treasure Pod Locations In The Ancient Ruins


The player is looking at a purple treasure pod in Slime Rancher.

The Ancient Ruins are located north of the Indigo Quarry and east of the Moss Blanket. You’ll find Quantum Slimes here, and it’s also the passage you need to take to reach the Glass Desert. This area is quite large and contains many treasure pods.

All Treasure Pod Locations In The Glass Desert


The player spots a trasure pod inside the Glass Desert in Slime Rancher.

To reach the Glass Desert, you need to use the teleportation room at the end of the Ancient Ruins. You can activate the teleporter by placing Quantum Plorts into the mouths of the statues in the room. While the Glass Desert may appear desolate at first glance, it is home to several slimes that you won’t find elsewhere.

Additionally, the area contains a large number of treasure pods, most of which are nearly impossible to access without a jetpack.

All Treasure Pod Locations In The Slime Sea


The player spots a treasure pod at the Slime Sea in Slime Rancher.

Although the Slime Sea appears to be quite close to the Dry Reef, it is considered a separate area. As the name suggests, this vast blue expanse consists only of the sea and small rocky islets. There are just three treasure pods to be found here, and reaching them requires a jetpack—specifically, an upgraded one.
