Welcome to Slime Rancher 2! This action-adventure invites you to explore a vibrant alien world, collecting adorable slimes and managing your very own ranch. Our extensive guide features 76 sections, covering everything from getting started and unlocking new areas like Ember Valley and Starlight Strand, to optimizing your ranch layout and mastering slime plorts.

First things first

Get started in Slime Rancher 2 by completing the tutorial, exploring, and setting up your first ranch with basic slimes and corrals.

First, you should complete the tutorial to learn the basics. Then, go explore the Far Far Range. Use your vacpack (a tool to suck up and spit out slimes and items) to interact with the environment.

It is recommended to start by collecting Pink Slimes, Rock Slimes, and Tabby Slimes. Special slimes can be found by waiting until dark.

To create new slime types, feed a slime a different plort (the valuable drops slimes produce). Be cautious: if a slime eats two different plorts, it will become a Tarr. Tarrs are dangerous, aggressive slimes that consume other slimes.

To produce plort, feed a slime its preferred food. Some slimes are picky and will only eat meat or vegetables, but Pink Slimes will eat anything.

You will need to keep your slimes contained within a corral. You can purchase a corral by spending a few newbucks (the in-game currency) at the ranch's buttons.

Tips
  • Wait until dark to find special slimes.
  • Pink Slimes are not picky eaters.

Protection

Learn how to protect your farm from Tarr in Slime Rancher 2. Discover methods like using the water vacuum upgrade or water turrets.

Tarr are enemies in Slime Rancher 2 that you will encounter when playing on Casual mode. They can be killed relatively easily.

Ways to kill Tarr:

  1. Suck them up with your vacuum (a tool used to collect items and slimes) and launch them into the Slime Seas (a large body of water surrounding the islands).
  2. Purchase the water vacuum upgrade. Use it to suck up water and then blast the Tarr twice to kill them.
  3. Construct a water turret from the lab (a building where you can craft items).

You can detect the presence of Tarr by a change in the music; the happy music will shift to a scary and low tune, which stops once all Tarr are eliminated.

Warning: Be cautious, as Tarr have the ability to turn other slimes into more Tarr.

Tips
  • Listen for the music change to alert you to nearby Tarr.
  • Prioritize eliminating Tarr quickly to prevent them from converting other slimes.
  • Consider investing in the water vacuum upgrade for an efficient way to deal with Tarr.
  • Building a water turret provides a passive defense against Tarr.
