MegaBonk How to Go to the Next Stage Guide
Progressing through stages in MegaBonk can be confusing the first time you play. Between tiers, maps, and stage portals, the system isn’t clearly explained in-game, which leaves many players unsure what to do after a boss fight. Here’s exactly how stage progression works and how to move forward properly.
How to Go to the Next Stage in MegaBonk
After you defeat a Stage Boss, a glowing portal appears on the boss shrine. Enter this portal to travel to the next stage within the same tier. If no portal appears, that means you’ve finished the last stage of that tier, and you’ll need to start a new run on the next tier from the main menu.
Each map in MegaBonk is divided into tiers, and each tier contains one or more stages. Higher tiers add more stages and stronger enemies, but also give better loot and XP. For example, Forest Tier 1 has a single stage, Forest Tier 2 has two, and Forest Tier 3 includes three total stages.
Once you beat the boss of a tier, you unlock the next one automatically. The next time you start a run, select the higher tier from the map screen before you begin. That’s the only way to continue your progression.
Map and Tier Unlocks
Currently, there are two main maps in MegaBonk: Forest and Desert. You start with Forest unlocked by default. To unlock the Desert map, you must reach Stage 2 of Forest Tier 2 using CL4NK.
CL4NK is unlocked after obtaining the Revolver, which drops once you’ve killed 7,500 enemies across all runs. Once unlocked, select CL4NK, play through Forest Tier 2, and step into the portal after beating the first boss. This unlocks the Desert map.
The same rule applies for progressing within Desert tiers. Beat the first boss in Desert Tier 1 to open Tier 2, and defeat the Stage 2 boss in Desert Tier 2 to unlock Tier 3. Each new tier adds more stages, harder enemies, and new item opportunities.
Final Blurb
Progressing in MegaBonk is simple once you understand it. Defeat the Stage Boss, enter the portal if it appears, and use the map screen to select higher tiers after completing them.
Keep clearing stages, and you’ll unlock tougher maps, better rewards, and more powerful runs along the way.
