How To Win In Dig The Backyard
Even though its theme doesn’t sound too interesting, Dig The Backyard has taken Roblox by storm. Based on the hit game A Game About Digging A Hole, it’s exactly what to expect - a game about digging a hole. However, there are way more interesting things you’ll encounter in your digging adventure. Here’s a guide on how to get your first win in Dig The Backyard.

As you probably expect, the gameplay is pretty straightforward - dig a hole in your backyard until you reach the hidden treasure. Collect ores, fight enemies and find your way through the different layers of the earth to get your win. Once you win, you get back to square one and do it all again. Unlike A Game About Digging A Hole, this game has checkpoints at various depths to ease your gameplay. No need to worry about being unable to reach the surface, since bonfires at the checkpoints can teleport you to the top. However, you need to look out for zombies.

You don’t need all of them maxed out to win, but it makes the gameplay a bit easier. If you're thinking about spending Robux on a better shovel, feel free to do so, but don't expect too much. From our experience, the Robux shovels and drills aren't much more efficient compared to the regular one. Our best bet is to level up the stats one by one until they all reach the same level.

The first ore you get is stone, which is the least valuable. Make your way through the ground’s layers until you reach diamonds, the most valuable ore. Of course, you can't rely solely on either of these, because diamonds are rare and stones are cheap. However, it's not good to ignore the less expensive ores, since they do contribute to your getting the upgrades faster. Our recommendation is to collect all the ores, since you can make a profit with all of them, but ultimately it’s up to you to define your play style. A good tip is to dig up the very top layer of your entire backyard, because there you can find plenty of stone to sell quickly. As for collectibles, the only thing you can do with them is use them up when necessary.

Keep in mind that you can only get these items in the caves at the checkpoints or with Robux, meaning they can't be purchased for cash. Best Way To An Easy Win Screenshot by Destructoid. Remember how the first rule of Minecraft is don’t dig down? Well, forget it, since that’s exactly what you need to do in Dig The Backyard. Digging straight down saves you energy and helps you progress quicker. There’s also no need to strip mine or specifically look for ores, since you’ll be getting them wherever you dig. The secret to an easy win is to gather every collectable item you find and sell them, so you can afford the upgrades as quickly as possible. Every checkpoint you get to has an entire cave system with ores and goodies, so be sure to thoroughly search all its rooms. Also make sure to destroy the zombie spawns, as each one of them can sell for 100 cash. With this guide, you’ll reach the treasure in Dig The Backyard in no time! Looking for some similar games?
