+1 Ride Pets to Fight Enemies: Locations and Encounter Tips

Use the directory to compare the seven enemies’ encounter locations and available health displays. Thorn Bear and Moss Golem appear on the early route after entering Stage 1; Totem Brute appears on the route toward the Stage 10 boss after progressing through Stages 7 and 8.

Skeleton Deckhand appears at a gate labeled STAGE 2 on a later progression route. Treat that gate as a separate route landmark from the early Stage 2 entrance.

A Cannon Crab encounter with Hercules Beetle has 18.1 million maximum HP. Attack with Horn Flip and use Bulldozer Flip with Q when it is ready.

After one Cannon Crab fight, an Underworld Shell was available nearby. Approach the Shell and press E to collect it; this pickup is not a guaranteed drop.

For Thorn Bear and Moss Golem, ride Red Panda and click to use Paw Pat. Press Q for Bamboo Forest when it is charged, aiming at the enemy’s position. Buzz Bee appears later in Stage 3, near the gate to Stage 4.

On the route toward Stage 10, attack while advancing and use Crocodile’s special when available. If repeated enemy attacks bring your mount low on health, back away and create distance. Multiple Tiki Mask Spirits can also attack a mounted player at once, so keep an eye on your mount’s health during the exchange.

• Check stage requirements and world unlocks before pushing through a new gate.
• Find named encounters and their requirements in the boss directory, or use the Volcano Tiki Chief guide for the Stage 10 fight.
• Look up materials and their uses in the Shell directory.
