Pink/Rock Largo: Favorite food is Heart Beets but they'll eat anything Tabby/Phosphor Largo: Favorite food is Cuberry but they'll eat the mangos too Honey/Boom Largo: Favorite food is Mint Mango (will be your most profitable combo for awhile) In this game it is notoriously difficult to feed slimes with meat diets since Chicken Coops do not produce enough food each day and they are more difficult to maintain too. The reason I chose the slime combinations I did is because it's typically best to combine slimes with fruit/vegetable diets with slimes that have meat diets. This is the reason I recommend you rush to get to one (or both) of these areas before stabilizing your farm. Once you reach the Moss Blanket or Indigo Quarry you'll get access to some higher level slimes and their Plorts give you double the New Bucks on average. Build 2 Mint Mango trees to feed all of your slimes or 1 Mint Mango and 1 Cuberry Create Honey/Boom Largos, Tabby/Phosphor Largos and Pink/Rock Largos on your Ranchĥ. Use a Slime Key to enter the Moss Blanket and grab Honey Slimes and Boom SlimesĤ.

Build 3 sets of Corrals - higher wall upgrade required as is the Air Net (Plort Collector & Auto-Feeder highly recommended too)ģ. Pop the Pink Gordo and Phosphor Gordo for Slime KeysĢ. They despawn if you avoid them long enough.ġ. Until you get the water Vacpack upgrade your only defense against Tarr Slimes are to Vac them up and eject them into the ocean or avoid them. Since Phosphor Slimes are out at this hour it's much more likely for Tarr Slimes to be created from the extra types of Plorts on the ground. This is why you will often see Tarr Slimes at night in certain parts of the Dry Reef. For example, if you have a Tabby/Pink Largo and it eats a Phosphor or Rock Plort it'll turn into a Tarr Slime. These monstrocities are created when a Largo eats the Plort of a different type of slime. Occasionally when you are out in the world you may encounter Tarr Slimes (pictured above). Sleeping is only good for skipping ahead in time which you don't really want to do early in the game until you get Auto-Feeders for your slimes. Your character does not get tired nor do you get sick from staying up. Note: There is no reason to sleep in this game. Develop a rotation where you do some exploring and grab food/feed Gordos and then return to your base with Plorts when you start getting full. This is how you earn New Bucks in the game and we need a lot of them early on. While exploring you'll want to collect some Pink Plorts too and return them to your ranch to shoot into the Market Link. Every other Gordo will give you a Slime Key which is used to open the locked doors around the map. When you pop them you'll typically get access to a new area on the map, usually a nearby island, or a short cut to that location from your base. Phosphor Gordo you'll need to feed fruit to and the Pink Gordo will eat anything.Ī good rule of thumb is Tabby and Rock Gordos are typically sitting ontop of teleporters. If you feed a Gordo its favorite food you'll get 2 points worth of food towards the total instead of 1. The Pink Gordos will take 30 food items to burst the Phosphor and Tabby Gordos will take 50 food. Basically what you'll want to do is run around and collect food and keep feeding the Gordos until they pop.

Check my Gordo Locations Guide for a list with screenshots of every Gordo location.

I actually recommend you postpone setting up your ranch until you pop most of the Gordos in the Dry Reef. Your first couple of in-game days will typically be best spent exploring the Dry Reef and learning the immediate area surrounding your ranch. Slime Rancher Walkthrough Part 1 - The Beginning
