Overview
Save yourself the hassle of searching every nook and cranny for the elusive Party Gordo every weekend
Intro
Hello again everyone. JK3 here with another guide on finding Slime Rancher’s hidden secrets. This time on the elusive Party Gordo
My attempt at this guide was originally seeing if there was an pattern to their spawns, as if it wasn’t a limited time event. But after 3 long years of different dates, it finally started repeating
So I’ll be listing these in future real life dates (By Advancing my computer’s clock when in Slime Rancher’s Main Menu)
I’ll be leaving the general region (Moss Blanket, Indigo Quarry), in the header for those who don’t want to be completely spoiled on its location and just want to use this guide to point them in the right direction instead
I’ll also be listing the common ornaments that are dropped per weekend
Previous unique years will be put into an archived version of this guide.
[link] [link] [link]Basic Party Gordo Info
Every weekend (Friday, Saturday, Sunday Local Time) a Party Gordo will appear ONCE somewhere in the Game (Once he’s gone that’s it until next weekend).
This location is the same for all players, providing their computer or console clocks are synched like in real time.
He only needs 10 of any food and Popping him will make him Drop 1 Rare Ornament and 8 Present Crates.
Present Crates drop 1 of 2 Common Ornaments based on what weekend or rarely a Rare Ornament
Present Crates can be found anywhere as well rarely on the weekends (Including other Popped Gordos). But the Party Gordo is still the best way to obtain Ornaments
Grow a collection and decorate your farm!
Basic Twinkle Slime Info
The Twinkle Slime is similiar to the Party Gordo but it is instead every day during a selected Winter Holiday period called Wiggly Wonderland (The Slimepedia entry hints it may be used for other future holidays as a seasonal change). The same rules apply about it being only appearing once per instance at the same location for everybody
However unlike the Party Gordo, it requires no feeding. Just walk to it for a victory song and an explosion of Chimes, musical versions of ornaments that play a note when touched by anyone. The appearance of the Chimes is scripted and a special easter egg is some tunes of famous bits can be heard if left untouched and walked in a certain direction (Mostly classical and kid songs).
My musical knowledge in these fields is very limited so I will be posting pictures and decriptions of these little easter eggs of the ones i can figure out.
The Twinkle Slime will also leave behind a temporary two-way teleporter back to your house.
