Golden Walnuts are the currency of the parrots on Ginger Island. The amount of Golden Walnuts that a player has saved is displayed directly beneath the player's picture in the skills tab. Walnuts are shared amongst players in Multiplayer.
The player can find a total of 130 Golden Walnuts scattered on the island, by exploration, monsters killing, farming, fishing, mining, breaking crates in the Volcano Dungeon, etc.
Once a save file records that 100 Golden Walnuts have been earned (in total), Qi's Room is unlocked.

5 | Puzzle | At the upper right of the jungle is a hidden path. Following the stone path from Leo's house stairs leads to a hidden shrine area with four bird statues. Each bird statue is associated with a particular Ginger Island area, as hinted by the carved picture at its base (volcano = north, waves = south, palm tree = east, heart = west). On rainy days, a Gem Bird will appear in one of the island areas (North, South, East, or West.) Approaching the Gem Bird will cause it to fly away and drop a gemstone. The player must place this gemstone on its corresponding altar. The Gem Birds will always appear in the same locations:
There are five possible gems: Amethyst, Aquamarine, Emerald, Ruby, and Topaz. The shrine will activate and reward the player with 5 walnuts once the final gemstone is placed. (Note: The puzzle solution is randomized per game.) |
