Lego Horizon Adventures Gold Bricks are extremely important to your progress in the game, as they are the key that unlocks fresh upgrades to power up your characters, additional building plots around Mother's Heart so you can further customize the village, and more. Rather than being hidden collectibles as in many of the previous Lego titles, these special bricks are awarded systematically for completing tasks, and as there are no Lego Horizon Adventures cheats available you'll have to follow legitimate routes to earn them. If you're trying to find out the best ways to gather more of these shiny blocks, then here's how to get Gold Bricks in Lego Horizon Adventures.

The main way to earn Lego Horizon Adventures Gold Bricks is to work your way through the story, as you'll receive a Gold Brick for every quest you complete, which also involves climbing a Tallneck in each of the quest areas. You can track your progress for this on the screen above, which appears before you start and at the end of every story quest. As you need to interact with the Gold Brick to finish each quest, these items are unmissable so you don't need to worry about looking for them as you work through the story. As you earn more Gold Bricks you'll unlock additional Lego Horizon Adventures upgrades and plots to customize in your village, so make sure you check those regularly to take advantage of them when they become available.

You can also earn Lego Horizon Adventures Gold Bricks by completing Community Jobs, which are unlocked once you beat the fourth story quest titled 'Face To The Sun'. After that, you can interact with the community board in the middle of the village to see what Community Jobs are available, your current progress in them, and how many Gold Bricks you'll receive for completing each one. At first you'll only have access to one job, which involves eating at the Lego Horizon Adventures Feasting Table, but soon more will become available – keep an eye on the requirements for these jobs and factor them in to your quests, to speed up your progress through them to get more Gold Bricks.
