We’ve stated it earlier than, however we’ll say it once more, contemplate combining its kind with a veggie or fruit eater for simpler and extra fruitful farming (pun meant). The glowing lure on an Angler slimes head can really stun its prey – and different slimes.
Rock Slime
- Discovered: Ember Valley, Starlight Strand
- Weight loss program: Veggies
- Favorite meals: Coronary heart Beet
Rock slimes have been introduced again for Slime Rancher 2 as one of many few dangerous slimes.

- Discovered: Starlight Strand
- Weight loss program: Fruit
- Favorite meals: Mint Mango
Honey slimes are a really worthwhile slime for Newbucks assortment, as their plorts promote for comparatively excessive values.

Properly, make sure you depart no Honey plorts mendacity round, or you could possibly quickly discover the Conservatory suffering from hungry Tarr. We advocate Honey slimes or Largos are saved safely in corrals kitted out with excessive partitions and sky nets. We advocate that for all corrals, however prioritise Honey when you’re quick on funds.
Ringtail Slime
- Discovered: Starlight Strand
- Weight loss program: Something
- Favorite meals: None
There can by no means be too many cute animal-themed Slime Rancher slimes, so the Ringtail slime is one other welcome addition to Slime Rancher 2. Based mostly on a Tanuki, this brown slime is extremely distinctive, and requires particular care because it turns to stone in daylight, which means it is not going to produce any plorts. Putting it underneath a photo voltaic protect will stop this behaviour, so – when you’re not already bought on the Batty Increase Largo – a Batty Ringtail mixture will stop you having to buy too many photo voltaic shields. In fact there’s all the time Phosphor to think about as properly. Something however fussy, Ringtail slimes will eat something – at any time.

These beautiful, glistening slimes are an actual spectacle, so there’s little marvel they’re again for Slime Rancher 2.

Puddle Slime

However even earlier than you’ve unlocked the watery slime’s various look, it’s an awesome slime to have, if nothing else than to present a special really feel to your farm. As a substitute of corrals, Puddle slimes should after all be housed in a pond if they’re to outlive, however they don’t want feeding as they reside off the very water they float in.

Puddle slimes, like in Slime Rancher, can’t be was Largos as they don’t eat plorts, nor can their plorts be consumed.
Flutter Slime

Largo Slime
- Discovered: Anyplace
- Weight loss program: Identical as supply slimes
- Favorite meals: Identical as supply slimes
A Largo slime is the umbrella time period for any slime that has been created from two supply slimes. These are literally one of the simplest ways to farm plorts, as housing them requires fewer corrals, and their favorite meals choices improve, making it simpler to assemble the utmost variety of plorts. When one slime eats the plort of one other slime, it should tackle the mixed type of the 2. For instance, feeding a Cotton slime a Increase plort will create a Cotton/Increase hybrid slime and it’ll double in dimension. Too massive to be sucked into your vac, Largo slimes can as an alternative be carried on the tip of the system as a result of suction, if it’s essential to transfer one to a different space.
As with their supply slimes, feed a Largo slime both of its supply’s favorite meals and it’ll produce double the plorts for a complete of 4 – two of every supply slime.
Feral Slime

There’s an choice to disable Feral slimes within the gameplay choices menu.
Tarr
- Discovered: Anyplace
- Weight loss program: Different slimes!

Shaped when a largo eats a 3rd plort sort that doesn’t match its sort, Tarr slimes change kind and turn into hostile, consuming each different slime in sight and injuring you if it will get shut sufficient. Ensure you don’t permit slimes to roam ‘free vary’ within the conservatory, as this may inevitably lead to a Tarr takeover. Nonetheless, there’s little you are able to do to forestall them within the wild.
Within the early recreation, Tarr slimes could be defeated by choosing them up on the tip of your vac and capturing them into the ocean. Nonetheless, that is time consuming and a bit of harmful, so improve your vac to incorporate a water tank ASAP, as capturing water at a Tarr will trigger it to despawn.
Lastly, Tarr slimes could be turned off within the gameplay choices menu at any time.
Gordo Slime
- Discovered: A number of places
- Weight loss program: Identical as supply slime

Whereas this sounds horrible, it’s really your objective, and their function in life. Fill a Gordo with 60 meals gadgets (or as little as 30 when you feed it its favorite), and it’ll separate into smaller, customary variations of that slime – and another bonus rewards, too.
With that data in thoughts, you possibly can set about filling your corrals with every of your favorite slimes and whichever Largo mixtures you set your coronary heart on. And whereas Slime Rancher is probably not co-op, relaxation assured you aren’t alone on Rainbow Island, as Monomi Park are left “staggered” by gross sales and the plenty of “overwhelmingly optimistic” Steam critiques.
