The Piggy Bank in Beast of Reincarnation is one of those early collectibles that most players walk straight past. It sits off the main objective path in Chapter 1, tucked inside a hidden cave near the cliffside waterfall, and the game never drops a quest marker to guide you there. Here's exactly where to find it and what happens once you pick it up.
Where is the Piggy Bank in Beast of Reincarnation?
The Piggy Bank sits in the Cliff Area during the first map of Chapter 1. It is not on the critical path, so you can complete the chapter without ever knowing it exists. The item is classified as a cleanse walker decoration, which means its purpose is cosmetic rather than mechanical.

How to get the Piggy Bank
Start at the Cliff Area campfire on the first map. From there, the route runs along the cliffside rather than toward any active objective marker.
Step 1: Orient yourself at the campfire
Open the map and find the western river and cliff section near the waterfall. This is your reference point before heading out. The path you want runs parallel to the cliff edge, not toward the main story target.
Step 2: Cross the vine rope gaps
Follow the narrow path along the cliff. You will hit vine rope gaps that cross above the river below. Keep moving across them and stay on the upper route rather than dropping down.
Step 3: Find the hidden cave entrance
Continue toward the rocky wall and the bushes near the waterfall. The cave entrance is set into the rock face here and is easy to miss because the opening blends into the surrounding terrain. Push through the bushes rather than turning back.
Step 4: Pick up the Piggy Bank inside the cave
Inside the cave, you will find a glowing item on a wooden table. Interact with it to collect the Piggy Bank. The loot screen confirms the name and describes it as a "Decoration for the cleanse walker," with flavor text about recalling old habits.

Step 5: Check the cleanse walker shelf
Return to the cleanse walker and look at the top shelf inside the cabin. The Piggy Bank appears there automatically. No base-building menu or manual placement is required.
What does the Piggy Bank actually do?
Honestly, not much in a mechanical sense. The Piggy Bank is purely a cleanse walker decoration. It adds visual detail to the top shelf in the cabin area but does not grant Amber, stats, or any gameplay bonus that the sources confirm. Early claims about an Amber payout tied to the Piggy Bank are unreliable, so treat it as a hidden collectible and nothing more unless the game explicitly tells you otherwise.
That said, finding it is worth the detour. The Cliff Area has other things to discover along the same path, and completionists working toward the full Beast of Reincarnation trophy list will want every collectible accounted for.

Is the Piggy Bank worth finding?
For completionists, yes. For players focused on progression, the detour takes maybe two minutes and costs nothing. The cave itself sits along a section of the Cliff Area that rewards exploration in general, so swinging by while you have the campfire active is a low-effort pickup.
If you are still getting your bearings in Chapter 1, keeping your survival resources topped up matters more than hunting decorations. Make sure your food supply is steady (the Beast of Reincarnation food farming guide covers that in full) before spending time on optional detours.
