Learn how to build Getaways in Donkey Kong Bananza to heal, fast-travel, change outfits, and unlock valuable perks.
As players delve deeper into the Layers of Donkey Kong Bananza, the levels become increasingly challenging, with Voided Terrain, obstacles, and traps along the way. At the same time, there are sanctuaries available for DK to recover health, gain buffs, and rest between the trials. These are known as Getaways, and there are opportunities to build a network of Getaways starting with the Lagoon Layer.
Donkey Kong Bananza: Getaway Guide
Getaways are built by speaking with Architectone and paying them in gold. Architectones are crystalline NPCs shaped like stereotypical houses. Starting with the Lagoon Layer, you will find them appearing periodically throughout the landscape of every Layer.
At times, the price to build Getaways may seem steep, but gold is easy to farm, and they eventually provide greater benefits. The perks of building Getaways in a Layer increase as you create more of them. Each Getaway serves as a fast-travel point, increasing your maneuverability around the map.
Speak with an Architectone, and when it asks whether to build a Getaway at the current location, confirm the choice. The house-shaped NPC will construct a Getaway there instantly. Enter the Getaway to utilize its amenities and prepare for upcoming adventures.
Resting
Each Getaway comes equipped with a bed for DK. Interact with it to sleep and recover health. Additionally, using the bed will boost DK’s survivability with temporary hit points in the form of bonus yellow hearts. These will take damage first, before your health is reduced. Resting at full health grants bonus hearts, and the number added increases with the number of Getaways unlocked.
Play Music
The first thing to do after arriving at a Getaway is to play some tunes. Interact with the gramophone and select a music disc to play. You can collect Music discs by defeating enemies throughout the game.
Change Outfits
Getaways serve as points to change DK and Pauline’s outfits. Approach the wardrobe and use it to access your inventory of clothes. In addition to their aesthetics, each outfit has bonuses and effects that can give you an edge in combat and exploration.
Shops
Getaways can also provide access to shops, allowing you to spend gold to procure consumables and equipment. Speak with the Trustytone to gain access to the Stuff Shop, Style Shop, and Chip Exchange. Tipping the Trustytone after using its services may reward you with valuables like Music Discs and Banandium Gems.
