Drain the Lake carries three hidden discovery badges that sit apart from the usual bucket, chest, and checkpoint milestones. Rich Millionaire, Mysterious Relic, and Anomaly Discovered each reward you for finding a single rare object buried deep in the lake, and all three count toward the game’s full 32-badge total.
Quick answer: Drain far enough down and search the deep underwater areas carefully. Rich Millionaire unlocks when you find the hidden Gold Nugget, Mysterious Relic unlocks when you find the glowing Ancient Relic, and Anomaly Discovered unlocks when you spot the Mysterious Anomaly.
What each secret badge tracks
These three badges were added to Drain the Lake in July 2026, which is why an older 29-badge checklist will not list them. Each one is tied to a single hidden object rather than a repeated action, so a badge fires the moment you make contact with the correct item.
| Badge | Hidden object | Where to look |
|---|---|---|
| Rich Millionaire | Gold Nugget | Deep inside the lake |
| Mysterious Relic | Glowing Ancient Relic | Far beneath the lake |
| Anomaly Discovered | Mysterious Anomaly | Deep underwater |
All three objects sit in the deeper stages of the lake, and they are easy to swim past. Spotting them takes slow, deliberate searching once you have drained enough water to expose the lower depths.
How to unlock the hidden discovery badges
Tip: Treat these as cleanup goals rather than early targets. It is far easier to hunt hidden objects once you already understand the lake layout and can travel through the deeper checkpoints reliably.
Confirm the badge unlocked
You can verify every badge from inside the game. Interact with the “badges” stand on the right side of the lobby, next to the Leaderboards, to open the badge menu. Rich Millionaire, Mysterious Relic, and Anomaly Discovered will show as earned there once you have touched their objects, and you can redeem the Gems reward for each from the same menu.
If a badge has not registered, you likely swam past the object without making contact. Return to the deep sections and search again, since the discovery only counts when you reach the item itself. You can play or reopen the game from its Roblox page.
With the three hidden discovery badges cleared, you are down to the long-run milestones such as high bucket counts, chest totals, and challenge runs, which round out the complete 32-badge set.
