Tips
  • For easier captures, use the Disillusionment Charm to get close to beasts without alerting them.
  • The Levioso spell can temporarily hold beasts still, making them easier to catch.
  • Cornering beasts against environmental objects can limit their escape routes.
  • Mooncalves are nocturnal; ensure it is nighttime or set your map to night to find them.
  • The Nab-Sack requires holding the button for progressively longer durations for more difficult beasts (Puffskein: 1 press, Jobberknoll: 2 presses, Mooncalf: 3 presses).
  • Vivarium unlocked
  • Ability to collect Beast Materials (Puffskein Fur, Mooncalf Fur, Jobberknoll Feathers) for gear upgrades.
