Gold Beetles are scattered throughout the war-torn nation of Euchronia, and it's your job to find them all in Metaphor: ReFantazio. Glittering, chittering, creatures who appear in the strangest places, Gold Beetles can be turned in to a certain elderly NPC for some of the best treasures that Metaphor has to offer.

All Gold Beetle Locations In Metaphor: ReFantazio
You'll not be able to do anything with all those Gold Beetles until you reach Brilehaven, the third major settlement in Metaphor: ReFantazio. Once you've been there for a few days, the Elderly Entemophile should appear at the Arenafront Wharf.
This is the same fellow who you encountered inside the Giant Sandworm. It's good that he got out, we reckon.

Gold Beetle Rewards
The Elderly Entemophile only accepts Gold Beetles in batches. Once you have a set number of them, he'll accept that number for a specific reward; these are one-time grabs, and nearly all of them are about as fantastic as you'd hope they'd be.
We've listed the total number of beetles required, as the Elderly Entemophile keeps track based on how many you've found, not how many you need until the next reward. That said, you can ask him about future rewards at any time to learn how many you need to the next prize.
