What is the Dungeons 3 Golden Pickaxe Event?
This is an ongoing game event to unlock additional cosmetic content and a secret reward if players locate all of them. There are a total of 7 pickaxes to find across the core campaign levels and one for each DLC.
Dungeons 3 Golden Pickaxe Location Guide
The Golden Pickaxes are found in the following campaign levels:
- Main Campaign: “Everything has an end…”
- Once Upon A Time DLC: “Fog and Sheep”
- Evil of the Caribbean DLC: “Greetings from R’Lyeh”
- Lord of the Kings DLC: “The Fellowship”
- Clash of Gods DLC: “At the Foot of Godsmount”
- An Unexpected DLC: “The Forest Queen”
- Famous Last Words: “Show Us What You’re Made Of”
Detailed locations:
Main Campaign: Everything has an end…
Possible Locations: Northeast corner or Northwest corner
Located on the last base game mission players should focus on the northeast and northwest locations. The level can be played in a normal manner as you’ll have ample time to dig out the entire map before you opt to challenge Tanos.
Once Upon A Time DLC: Fog and Sheep
Possible Locations: West below the dungeon entrance or South underneath the southern entrance
This map is straightforward with players again being in control of when the map ends as it is tied to taking over the 3 factories so you have an abundance of time to dig out the map. The Games Finder team located our pickaxe to the West below the entrance although other players have reported success on the Southern side instead.
Evil of the Caribbean DLC: Greetings from R’Lyeh
Possible Locations: West just above the southern dungeon entrance or East near the dungeon entrance
A slightly trickier level to beat although players are still in control of when the map ends and by obtaining a few of the dungeonheart upgrades you can counter the direct damage from the tentacle attacks. On this level your best chance for the pickaxe may be to the far West or East near the dungeon entrances.
Lord of the Kings DLC: The Fellowship
Possible Locations: South of the dungeonheart
The hardest level to obtain the Golden pickaxe due to the time limit and focus required to defend the Converted Heroes camp. We were able to find the pickaxe south of our dungeonheart directly west from the southern dungeon entrance which other player reports support.
Clash of Gods DLC: At the Foot of Godsmount
Possible Locations:Southwest corner or Eastern wall
Our longest hunt for a Golden Pickaxe which was hiding in the last dozen blocks before our little snot Sneffel quickly picking it up to triumphantly to deliver it to our dungeonheart. It was located in our southwest corner but we have read reports of the pickaxe alongside the Eastern wall as well.
An Unexpected DLC: The Forest Queen
Possible Locations: Southwest corner or Northeast corner
As this map ends with you defeating the Forest Queen there is an unlimited amount of time to find the pickaxe allowing you to take your time and establish a strong creature army before digging out the map. The pickaxe has been found in both the Southwest and Northeast corners of the map.
Famous Last Words: Show Us What You’re Made Of
Possible Locations: East of the dungeonheart
Players need to be careful here as there are several twists that can quickly dwindle your initial army force. This makes research and careful pacing critical with players in control of when this level ends to maximise your golden pickaxe hunt time. The Games Finder team found our pickaxe on the East side of the map.
Golden Pickaxe Mechanics
The levels that the Golden Pickaxes appear is the same for all players although the location is randomised. The Golden Pickaxe will be hidden under a single tile which means players have to dig out every single game block (excluding gold and diamond veins) to find them and they are generally on the outer map edges.
The Golden Pickaxe will appear as an icon on the mini map when located (refer to the screenshots under the location section of this guide). Once located the pickaxe must be picked up by the player hand to be recorded as collected (a Little Snot may also carry it to your dungeonheart first), for co-operative games only one player needs to pick it up for it to count for both players.
After you have collected the pickaxe it is shown on the game menu screen as shown below to help you keep track of which pickaxes you have obtained.
Golden Pickaxe Hunting Strategy:
Dungeons 3 Golden Pickaxe Rewards
Your reward for collecting all of the golden pickaxes is called “Fuzzy Logic” which turns all of your little snots into robots.
In order to activate the golden pickaxe reward from the main menu visit the “Extras” menu then click the “DLC” tab where you’ll find the option to turn the new cosmetic on or off. Here is what the option looks like in the menu:
And your Little Snots will look like this in game:

On fellowship, I found my axe top left of the map, just under the dungeon entrance

Most of the locations are randomized. This guide is only helpful for knowing which level the pickaxe will be on.

“Did you find one in a location not listed above?”
Yes ! For Lord of the Kings DLC: The Fellowship
Please add the possible locations: North of the dungeonheart
Like, the direct opposite at the south potential location.
