Goldie Seeking

Goldie Seeking is a Known Occurrence in Salmon Run.

Salmonid Field Guide

The following text is quoted from the Salmonid Field Guide.

What Happens

• Large numbers of Gushers will appear in the area.
• A Goldie will be hiding in one of the Gushers.
• You can shoot the Gusher to make it erupt, but chances are a regular salmonid will pop out instead of a Goldie.

How to Get Golden Eggs

• The Goldie lurking in one of the Gushers will drop loads of Golden Eggs when hit with ink.

Advice from Mr. Grizz

• Spread out, and find that Goldie FAST.
• When you find the Goldie, call your buddies over and let loose with all your firepower!
• The Gushers emit light when you hit them--the brighter the light, the closer you are to that glorious Goldie.

Supplementary Information

• Salmonids obtained the technology to create Gushers through trade with Octarians.
• The Goldie loses scales when hit, so it's able to move faster the more you damage it!

Trivia

• The Gushers also spout higher the closer they are to the Goldie's hiding place.
• It is possible to splat the Goldie, but it takes large quantities of sustained fire to do so. If this happens, another Goldie will hide in a different gusher.
• The Goldie drops 14 golden eggs when it loses scales after getting hit until it gets splatted and drops 3 golden eggs, results at 17 golden eggs total.
• Open as few gushers as possible. Salmonids continue to spawn from the incorrect ones until the Goldie is discovered.
• When the Goldie is discovered, rolling into it with the Dynamo Roller can cause it to drop a large quantity of Golden Eggs at once.
