MegaBonk Present Guide | How to Find the Present
If you are chasing the Santa Hat, the present on Forest is the entire objective. Everything else in the run is secondary. This guide stays focused on spotting it quickly and making the unlock stick.
Where The Present Spawns For The Santa Hat
In MegaBonk, the present only spawns on the Forest map.
Tier does not matter. Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 all qualify. There is no hidden condition tied to difficulty, progress, or mode.
The location changes every run. There is no fixed spot and nothing guides you to it.
What You Are Looking For Visually
You are looking for a small gift box sitting on the ground.
It has red wrapping and a yellow bow. It blends into terrain more than you would expect, especially near trees, rocks, and shadows.
If your camera stays aimed forward, it is easy to miss.
How To Search Forest The Right Way
This run works better when played differently.
Pick a fast character. Calcium and Tony McZoom make this easier. Movement speed matters more than damage here.
The goal is coverage. Seeing more ground beats clearing enemies.
A Search Pattern That Actually Works
Start by running along the outer edge of the map
Check corners and dead ends as you move
Loop wide instead of cutting straight across
Angle the camera slightly downward while moving
The present often shows up off main routes, which is why edge sweeps find it faster.
What To Do After You Find The Present
Open it as soon as you see it.
The Santa Hat drops onto the ground. Walk over it so the pickup registers.
Finish the run afterward. Ending the run cleanly is what makes the Santa Hat appear in the Hats section of Unlocks.
Leaving early can cause the unlock not to save.
Why This Feels Annoying To Find
Most people play Forest like a normal run.
That usually means focusing forward, chasing enemies, and sticking to common paths. The present rewards slow scanning and wide movement instead.
Once you adjust how you move, it stops feeling random.
Final Blurb
Finding the present for the Santa Hat in MegaBonk comes down to how you move, not how you fight. Run Forest on any Tier, stay fast, sweep the edges, watch the ground, and finish the run after picking it up. Do that once and the Santa Hat is done.
