Turnip Boy Robs a Bank walkthrough

Complete guide to Turnip Boy Robs a Bank

As stated above, Turnip Boy Robs a Bank is a roguelite, which means you will need upgrades, weapons, and items to continue through the content; with these, you can get a little bit further into the bank each time. First, you need to complete the opening sequence and the tutorial, but these are pretty straightforward. Next, you will be dropped into the bank, where Stinky will try to call the police. In each round, you will have three minutes to grab as much stuff as you can then get back to the truck and head back to the main base.

How a round of Turnip Boy Robs a Bank works

In order to get started, you will need to interact with the truck. This will start the bank robbing section of the game, giving you three minutes (or more with upgrades) to swipe as much money from the bank as possible. Your money bag starts off with a maximum of $1,000. There are several different objects and events that will earn you money, sellable items, weapons, and wearables. Money is the most important thing to grab; you’ll want to fill your bag as much as possible every time you head into the bank. Objects that you pick up, like the bronze and silver vases and kazoos you find in cases, Stink statues that you have broken down and picked up pieces of, wallets and cell phones of those you have shaken down, will be sold and added to your total income on top of the money in your bag. If you die, you lose all weapons you have picked up, all sellable objects, and half your money.

Door Types

Some high-paying objects can also be hidden behind elevators; where the elevators lead is randomized each time you return to the bank. There are several different types of elevators, and you can tell which one you are walking into by the picture on the outside of the door. Here are all the different types of doors you can come across and where each of them leads:

Plain gray elevator door: These lead to the office spaces where Old Lady Lime, Ravioli, and safes can be found. There is basically one layout, and there are always two safes to be broken into it. To break into safes, you need to have purchased the laser pointer.
Gray elevator door with golden trim: The golden-trimmed doors always lead to the office rooms with lasers and vaults. In order to get into the vaults, you will need to have purchased C4. You can also find several NPCs needed for side quests in these layouts.
Elevator door decorated with mounds of dirt: Leads to Pie, who wants you to collect eight pet rocks for the side quest Rocks, Rocks and more Rocks.
Skull door surrounded by green goop: This goes to the Shroominati Shadows, the location of the mushroom cultists.
A bonfire with a sword in the middle: A weapons dealer that deals in souls. Needed for the side quest Sell Your Soul.
Bath bubbles and a rubber duck: This leads to a locker room where you will unlock the weapons locker where you can store weapons. It leads to a locker room filled with lockers that sometimes hold money or special weapons.
Bloody pentagram: Leads into Crancran’s gladiatorial battles. She sends three rounds of enemies to kill, and then rewards you with a mess of weapons and money.
Melty Fox Face: This door leads to the Lab Lab, where a dog from another dimension will ask you to take down an optional boss.

All side quests

There are a whole slew of side quests that need to be completed in order to get 100% for Turnip Boy Robs a Bank, similar to the first game. Here is a list of all of them in alphabetical order to help you get all the ones you might be missing.

A Mining Operation

In one of the plain door elevators, you can find a fruit in need of GPU. He asks you to find Bean, a kidney bean with a top hat, and keep shaking him three times until he drops it. Bean is located in the Cryptic Crypt, in the middle of the map close to where the medium is.

A Little Sippy Treat

After defeating the candy apple boss, you will unlock the elevator door that looks like bath bubbles with a rubber duck floating in it. Inside, you can find Conductor Onion from the post game of Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion. He asks for a soda, and you can get a soda from Pearl in the Soupy Sewers.

A Manhwa for Meemah

Outside the elevator in the top middle of the Seed Stock, there is a small emo-looking cranberry named Crangelica. She is sad that you “killed her grandmother,” and tells you off. However, you know that through the pentagram elevator door, you can find her grandmother, CranCran. Talk to CranCran, then head back to Crangelica to not only complete this side quest but also get a phone for the Say Cheese! side quest.

A Painter’s Payment

In the Fancy Foyer, directly up and a little right of the entrance, an NPC named Starfruit is standing in front of a painting. If you speak to her, she will tell you that she is waiting for a payment from one of the NPCs from Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion named slayQueen32. She will be located just behind a gold elevator door; you might have to try several before finding her. Interact with slayQueen32, and she will give you Exposure Bucks to bring back to the painter. Head back to Starfruit, and interact with her to get a hat for your efforts.

A Rare Artifact

You can find Kiwi near the electronics box in one of the gold-lined elevator layouts. He’ll be very close to the box, so you can’t miss him. Talk to him, and he will ask you to find a co-worker of his, the watermelon slice. This NPC can also be found in a gold-lined elevator, but the other layout. Kiwi will give you a priceless Garfield mug, and you need to bring it to the watermelon to complete the quest.

Blind Date

In the Cryptic Crypt, there is a vampire named Pomegranate who says they have been single too long. Bring his love letter to CranCran, the old lady cranberry located behind the red pentagram elevator. She will give you a weird romantic picture, and you need to return it to Pomegranate. You’ll get the Candy Ring you need to finish the Put a Ring on It side quest.

Blinded by Science

Deep in the Cryptic Crypts, you can find a lab right before the boss of this area. Talk to the carrot inside, and he will wonder if he should be trying to make his own Frankenstein creation or not. The thinker you need to finish this side quest is located in the Fancy Foyer, next to the Dragonfruit and the statue he made. Talk with him, then return to the carrot to finish the quest. This will give you another pet rock for Rocks, Rocks, and more Rocks.

Brutalize Peach Cops

After completing the side quest Enter the Shroominati, there will be four quests inside the club’s secret room. Speak to one of each of the mushroom worshippers with quest markers to get this one. You need to kill 200 peach cops to complete this one. And you get a new hat for your troubles.

Cryptid Extraordinaires

If you interact with Cryptid Hunter Extraordinaire Wilma right inside the cardboard box fort, she will ask for a camera. It can be purchased in the weapons warehouse from Annie’s Dark Web computer for $3. Bring it back to the gummy bears to get a photo for Say Cheese!

Enter the Shroominati

If you come across an elevator door with a skull on it that is dripping with green goop, this is the door to the Shroominati. Inside, there is a fruit that will not let you pass; in order to get it, you need to speak with a recruiter for the club. You can find a Shroominati recruiter named Grape at the entrance of the Seed Stock. They will give you the code to enter the Shroominati club.

Estate Extortion

In Seed Stock right after the boss Yeehaw, you can find Blueberry the real estate agent to the right of the entrance. She will ask you to find the acorn; he is located in the bottom-right corner of the Fancy Foyer, south of the many Stinky statues and the elevator. Chat with him, then return to Blueberry afterwards. She will give you one of the Pet Rocks needed for the quest Rocks, Rocks, and more Rocks.

Gregg’s Waifu

The creator of Gregg’s List is asking you to help him out by buying him a body pillow of his waifu. He can be found in the southern-most, right side of the Dark Dock; look for the red scribbles on the ground, then follow those south from the doodle of Gregg. The pillow can be purchased on the Dark Web in the weapons warehouse for $69. Bring it back to Gregg for a very fashionable wearable.

Good Food

In one of the plain elevator door layouts, you can find Ravioli. Apparently, Pierogi stole his Good Food certificate, and he wants it back. Pierogi is located in the Dark Docks. You’ll need Goop Boots from the Dark Web to get to him safely. Shake him down three times to get the Good Food certificate back, and then talk to Pierogi again so you don’t feel so bad. Bring it back to Ravioli, and you will get yet another pet rock.

Homewrecker

In one of the plain, gray elevator doors, you might come across Old Lady Lime. She will ask you to track down her husband, and take their divorce papers from him. Old Man Lime is located just beyond the boss Yeehaw in Seed Stock. You’ll need to shake him three times to get those laminated divorce papers; bring them back to the Old Lady to finish the quest.

Hungry For Fruit

This gremlin living in the Dark Docks is a vegan that wants to eat plants no matter how sentient they are. You need to feed them some food disguised as fruit; you can find the fake fruit on this tree in the Seed Stock to the far northeast. It will give you a pet rock.

Kill SWAT Peppers

After completing the side quest Enter the Shroominati, there will be four quests inside the club’s secret room. Speak to one of each of the mushroom worshippers with quest markers to get this one. You need to kill 100 SWAT Peppers to complete this one. The Shoominati will give you a new hat once the job is done and you return to him.

Medium’s Reading

Just inside the Cryptic Crypt, there is a medium that tells you something about your family. She wants you to find your sister and bring her back. There is a ghost hanging out immediately after the bone bridge in one of the rooms in the Crypt; when you walk near her, she will follow you. Walk her all the way back to the Medium and interact with her to get a new hat: Turnip Girl’s bow.

Put a Ring on It

In the bottom right portion of the Seed Stock, you can find the Florist, who is now in a relationship with Strawberry, both of whom you met in the first game. The Florist now wants you to find the biggest possible engagement ring to ask for her girlfriend’s hand in marriage. Complete the side quest called Blind Date to get the ring for them. After all that, speak to Strawberry; it turns out she also wants to give the Florist a ring too. There is a gold ring for her in the gold room in the Mysterious Motherload during the endgame. When you give Strawberry the ring, you will get a photo for Annie.

Rocks, Rocks, and more Rocks

In the elevator door with the mounds of dirt on it, you can find an NPC named Pie. They are looking for Pet Rocks, and they can be found in these places: Completing the Estate Extortion, Scandalous Sculpting, Blinded by Science, the first part of Put a Ring on It, Good Food Certificate, Hungry For Fruit, Sad Little Stonkle, and Sell Your Soul.

Sad Little Stonkle

Down in the Dark Docks, all the way to the right of the map below the exit that goes out to the Cryptic Crypts, you can find Stinky’s son Stonkle. He asks you to put his drawing on his dad’s desk, which can be found in the Mysterious Motherload.

Say Cheese!

Annie the avocado in the weapons warehouse will ask you to bring her photos from around the bank. There are a grand total of ten of these all over the place. The first one can be found in the Fancy Foyer near Peas where he has written Stinky Sux on the wall. The second is found in the upper right of the candy apple boss’ room.

In the northern-most part of the Dark Docks, there is a photo opportunity along the back wall. There is another nearby this one, located very close to the one above. This one is north of the red writing on the floor; look for it just north of the scribbles that lead you to Gregg. If you find Stonkle, Stinky’s son, you’ve gone too far to the right.

Next up, there is another picture opportunity in the Cryptic Crypt. Look in the bottom right corner of the room with the piano mimic. There is yet another past the Boney Bridge in the hallway.

The last photo spot is located in the Soupy Sewer. There is a wall location above a blueberry that you can just walk through; inside the room there is a photo op. Be prepared to die, however, when you take the picture. The rest of the photos are from completing Cryptid Extraordinaires, A Manhwa for Meemah, and Put a Ring on It.

Scandalous Sculpting

Just north of the Stinky statues that are blocking your way further into Fancy Foyer, there is a sculptor Dragonfruit. He needs some illegal wood to get his statue finished. You can find the wood dealer in the Dark Dock, to the far right of the map. If you complete this quest by bringing the wood back to Dragonfruit, you will get a pet rock for the Rocks, Rocks, and more Rocks side quest.

Science Never Sleeps

Inside the drippy fox-face elevator door, there is a dog from another dimension that wants you to fight a super fox, for science. Kill the super fox optional boss to finish this side quest, and get a cute fox-ear hat!

Sell Your Soul

On the other side of the elevator door with a campfire and a sword on it, you can find a flame that is looking to collect souls. He will give you soul-collecting weapons; harvest five souls by killing five enemies with soul-collecting weapons and bring them back to him for a prize. After that, he will ask for 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, and 45 souls. Collect 225 souls to give them to him all at once. He will give you a bunch of music as well as a pet rock at the end.

Tagging Fancy Foyer

Just north of the Stinky statues that block progressing in the Fancy Foyer, you can find Peas. He’s spray painting in the Fancy Foyer, and he wants you to help out. He’ll give you a crayon as a weapon, and you need to hit the paintings in Fancy Foyer. Once you draw some faces on the portraits and art in the Foyer, you can return to Peas to complete the quest.

Take “Care” of Snail Security Guards

The Peace Treaty

Once you get past the candy apple boss, you will find yourself in a dark location that you will basically need the lantern from the Dark Web for. Along the route through this location, you can find a little gremlin man named King Gob hovering near a campfire. Talk with him to start the quest. The NPC that has the treaty is on the far left side of Seed Stock, just south of the cherries. Return the treaty to King Gob.

The Rat Pass

Inside the Soupy Sewers, there is a little boy that is wearing a Rat Hat, and he wants to be a rat. You can find him a rat that will give him a Rat Pass, also in the Soupy Sewers.

All Turnip Boy Robs a Bank boss battles

There are a grand total of six boss battles in Turnip Boy Robs a Bank, and you get rewarded for each one. Below, you can find hints to defeating each boss, what the reward you get for defeating them, and where they are located. These boss battles will be in order of appearance.

Yeehaw boss

Yeehaw is the first boss you will see in Turnip Boy Robs a Bank. He is located through the door of the northwestern-most part of Fancy Foyer. You’ll have to get by both the Stinky statues blocking the way and the enemies in the hallway leading to this door. Yeehaw will be in the middle of the room; just hit him to start the battle. When you win, you will get the first keycard for doors with the number 1 on them. He has a homing missile attack when he’s on his chair, and he has a gun that can rapid fire in your direction, but he is slow to turn it.

Candy Apple

The Rotten Candy Apple is the second boss. It spawns a whole bunch of gummy worm enemies, and it also has a lot of attacks. It can do a burst attack after locking on, a slam attack where it hits the ground and shoots out projectiles in a circle, and can shoot candy corn missiles at you. Dodge them by tripping (you might want to upgrade it before taking Candy on). You can only deal damage to it when it is on the ground after a slam.

Mecha Chad

Mecha Chad is all about distracting you with videos of people making soap and slime in the upper and bottom portions of the screen. He will attack on the ground with bombs, a big gun that he drops when he dies, and he does a spinning laser attack that you have to stay ahead of when he’s on his seat.

Uncle Rigsby

This boss has a few different attacks; during its first phase, it can spit out poison in a circle. It also spits missiles at you and spawns a whole bunch of adds. During its 3rd phase, one of its hands walk around and tries to squish you. Be careful of the adds, missiles, splats, and hand all together in the final phase; it can get overwhelming.

Super Fox (optional)

Near the end of the game, you can find an elevator door that has a melty fox face on it. Inside is a dog that wants you to take down a Super Fox for the side quest called Science Never Sleeps. This Super Fox is an optional boss you can battle as many times as you like for some cool weapons. He’s the hardest boss in the game; the fox has a hand gun and will shoot you down. He also spawns a lot of adds, so keep an eye out for those.

Completing the end game and picking up the last hat

Once you have completed all the side quests, in order to 100% Turnip Boy Robs a Bank, you will need to do two things: complete the final stage and also check your email. In order to finish the game after confronting Stinky in the Mysterious Motherload, you will need to purchase the rockets on the Dark Web. After you have them, head back into the bank and take down all four bosses again; interact with the center of the boss rooms to plant the rockets.

Once the rockets have taken off, the map will change again. Avoiding enemies as best you can, travel back to each of the four boss rooms once more to shut down the rockets. This will start the ending sequence. After it is all over, make sure to start the game up again and check your email on your phone. Open all your messages, taking all the hats out of the emails.
