I watched Momo stand behind my avatar for hours, a quiet spectator to every scrape and wipe. You feel the sting each time a boss forces you to solo the heavy hits. When that Scavenger finally drops the Golden Momo Button, the relief hits like a soft, expensive reward.
I’ll walk you through the exact steps I used to get the Button and make Momo fight-ready. I’ve played the quests, tested the fight strategies, and checked the menus on both the App Store and Google Play builds — so you don’t waste hours chasing the wrong enemies.
Most players ignore side quests in Itzaland before the main beats — how to get the Golden Momo Button
Here’s the reality: the Golden Momo Button doesn’t come from random Esselings you kill while grinding. It comes from a story boss, and that means progress, not luck. Follow these steps and you get to the fight that matters.
- Get access to the “Momo, Grow Stronger!” quest. This quest becomes available after you finish chapter one of the Itzaland main story. If it’s missing, keep advancing the Itzaland opening chapters until it appears.
- Play through “Momo, Grow Stronger!”. Finish the mission to activate Momo’s combat features. That sequence is the gateway to Momo helping you in full fights.
- Complete “Curse of Thorns” then “Blessing of the Forest”. The Blessing of the Forest story is the one that ends with the critical confrontation you need.
- Defeat the Scavenger boss. At the end of Blessing of the Forest you’ll auto-enter the Scavenger battle. Beat that boss and the Golden Momo Button drops as part of the reward.
How do I get the Golden Momo Button?
If you hover over the Button on the Momo Growth page it claims to come from “purifying powerful Esselings,” which seduces you into grinding random fights. Don’t be fooled — only the Scavenger boss awards the Button. Think of it like finding a brass key in a haystack: you could sift forever or go directly to the locked chest.
Players often skim menu text — how to use the Golden Momo Button once you have it
Open the Momo Growth page, switch to the Cloak Enhancement tab, and press the Upgrade button in the lower right. That consumes the Golden Momo Button and grants an extra combat ability for Momo.
How do I use the Golden Momo Button?
You also need 100 Momo Combat Insight to spend on the upgrade. Combat Insight is earned while Momo fights alongside you; if you’re short, let Momo lead a few encounters so he accumulates the currency needed. When you’ve got both the Button and 100 Combat Insight, apply the Button from the Cloak Enhancement tab and watch Momo gain a new skill — he becomes a pocket-sized bodyguard that eats small hits for you.
If you want community tips, check Reddit threads and the Infinity Nikki Discord for strategies against the Scavenger. Moyens I/O’s screenshots helped me time my use of healing items, and the App Store / Google Play patch notes sometimes list small balancing tweaks that change the fight’s rhythm.
So you’ve got the path: advance Itzaland, finish the three quests, beat the Scavenger, gather 100 Combat Insight, then spend the Button in Cloak Enhancement — are you ready to make Momo more than just window dressing?
