Exploring The Junction and Clearing the Void Goo

The Junction is a small pathway covered initially with void goo. As you clear this sticky obstacle, new paths and bananas become visible. Remember, you need to finish the storylines in both the Forest and Freezer Layers before you can fully explore this area and collect all its treasures.

15 Banandium Gems to Collect in Sublayer 700

Here’s a quick rundown of where to find every Banandium Gem in The Junction’s Sublayer 700:

1. Freezer Path’s Special Scoop: After clearing the void on the Freezer Layer path, return to your drop-in point to spot a gem sticking out from a revealed lump of snow.
2. Cooled Off Inflammonite: Defeat the final boss of the Freezer Layer, jump down the hole, and grab an orange gem worth five bananas.
3. Freezer Path’s Hidden Snack: Smash the void device after finishing the Freezer Layer, then head back up the path to find a breakable concrete wall opposite the device. Inside is a gem.
4. Shifty Smash: Freezer Path (Post-Game): This gem is only accessible after completing the main story. Activate the shifty triangle challenge on the lower Freezer Path, use cannons to break high boxes, and collect the banana.
5. Forest Path’s Birdbrain: After clearing the void on the Forest Layer path, return to your entry point and find a gem protruding from the dirt snake’s head.
6. Uprooted Abracajabrya: Once you complete the Forest Layer and drop down to The Divide, a gem worth five bananas awaits you.
7. Forest Path’s Hidden Snack: After clearing the void on the Forest Layer path, look across from the void device for a gem locked behind a wall. Climb around to find an opening to reach it.
8. Shifty Smash: Forest Path (Post-Game): Another post-game gem located on the lower Forest Path. Combine your smashing skills with cannon fire to break shifty cubes. Elephant Bananza helps, but watch your footing!
9. Cleared the Way to Clash Point: Clear the void on the Freezer Layer path and find a gem spawning on the main walkway.
10. Clash Point’s Hidden Snack: After clearing both void areas, approach the central area via diagonal stone paths. Jump onto a platform at the back, break the wall inside, and claim the gem.
11. Battle: A Fiery Fracas: Pay 600 gold to open a ruin near the central area after clearing the Freezer Layer void. Defeat two crockoids by drawing turret fire to earn a gem.
12. A Target on the Run: Unlock the Ancient Ruin on the right side of the central area by paying 1,000 gold after clearing the Forest Layer void. Navigate an auto-scroller dodging turrets to get this gem.
13. Out-of-Range Perch: From the previous gem’s location, spot a smaller concrete wall above a breakable one. Climb up and let turrets smash it to reveal a secret banana.
14. Target Escaped: Ride to the end of the ruins to find this banana near the exit.
15. Cranky’s Junction Rant: Stand above the teleporter gong, look high in the sky, and throw dirt chunks at floating platforms to bring down Rambi and access Cranky Kong on the second platform.
