The Junction is mostly a straightforward path, but at first, it’s covered in void goo. Cleaning it up is key because it reveals more bananas and secret areas. Just a heads up: you’ll need to complete the storylines in both the Forest and Freezer Layers before you can fully explore here.
Sublayer 700 Banandium Gems – What You Need to Know
So far, there are 13 Banandium Gems found in Sublayer 700 of The Junction. Here’s a quick rundown of each one and how to get them:
#1: Freezer Path’s Special Scoop
Once you clear the void on the Freezer Layer path, go back to where you initially dropped in. You’ll spot a gem sticking out of a newly revealed lump of snow.
#2: Cooled Off Inflammonite!
Defeat the final boss of the Freezer Layer, then jump down the hole nearby to claim this orange gem worth five bananas.
#3: Freezer Path’s Hidden Snack
After finishing the Freezer Layer, follow the path to the void device and smash it to clear the goo. Walk back up the path and look for a concrete wall opposite the void device. Break it yourself or let turrets do the work to grab the gem inside.
#4 and #8: Mysterious Gems
These two Banandium Gems don’t show up in the collection screen, which probably means you need to beat the game first to unlock them.
#5: Forest Path’s Birdbrain
Clear the void on the Forest Layer path, then return to where you dropped in. A gem will now be visible sticking out of the dirt snake’s head.
#6: Uprooted Abracajabrya!
After completing the Forest Layer and jumping down to The Divide, you’ll find a gem worth five bananas waiting for you.
#7: Forest Path’s Hidden Snack
Once you clear the void here, look across from the void device and you’ll see a gem behind a wall. You’ll have to climb around to find an opening to reach it.
#9: Cleared the Way to Clash Point!
Clear the void on the Freezer Layer path, and a gem will appear on the main walkway.
#10: Clash Point’s Hidden Snack
After clearing the void from both areas, head down either diagonal stone path towards the center. Before you reach it, jump onto a platform behind the central area, break the wall there, and grab the gem.
#11: Battle: A Fiery Fracas
With the void cleared on the Freezer Layer path, take the stone path to the central area. Look down to find a ruin you can open by paying Constructone 600 gold. Inside, defeat two crockoids by drawing turret fire onto them to claim the gem.
#12: A Target on the Run
Unlock the Ancient Ruin on the right side of the central area after clearing the void from the Forest Layer and paying 1,000 gold to Constructone. You’ll tackle an auto-scroller dodging turrets. Survive the first part to get the gem.
#13: Out-of-Range Perch
From the previous banana, look ahead to the next stretch. You’ll see a concrete wall to pass through and a smaller one above. Climb up and let turrets break the smaller wall to access a secret banana.
#14: Target Escaped
Ride through the ruins to the very end near the exit to find this gem.
#15: Cranky’s Junction Rant
Stand above the teleporter gong and look up. You’ll spot two floating platforms. Throw a dirt chunk at the top one to bring Rambi down and make it easier to access the second platform. Hit the second platform with another dirt chunk to find Cranky Kong.
Keep this guide handy as you explore The Junction to make sure you don’t miss any Banandium Gems. Some require specific actions or beating the game, so patience pays off. Happy hunting!
