Slime Rancher: Slime Rancher Completion Guide

When You Load In the Game, There are A few buttons. Press “new game” and name it whatever you want. Once you load in the game, You Will notice that there is a box with walls that you can pass on your ranch. This is called a Corral. Head On to the open world, and you will find a place called the “Dry Reef”. Now, Suck up a few pink slime, and go back and put in on your Corral. then suck up some food in the area, like carrots, or pogofruit. Once You got it, feed it to your pink slimes. Once they Eat it, they will produce something called a Plort. Head on to the plort market (its right next to your House” and sell it. you will make a few bucks. If you head on the a deeper part of the dry reef, you will find 2 more slimes. tabby, and rock slimes. Suck them up, and put them on your corral to make extra money as their plorts make more money. (but watch out! only put one type in the corral
you will see why in the next chapter.)

If your Tabby, rock, or pink slime eat a plort that isnt their own, they turn into a “largo” these are crossbred Slimes, which are too big to fit in your vacpack. also, when they eat food, they produce both plorts of their types (eg. A tabby rock slime getting fed produces a tabby AND rock plort instead of a singe one), However, if a largo eats another plort, it turns into a tarr slime! A tarr slime (its its spelt tarr not tar) is a black slime that like a virus will spread and eat other slimes, turning them to tarr. tarr try to kill you as they deal damage and can be a huge problem if all of them are tarr, the only way to stop them (right now) is to vac them up, and throw them into the sea on the edge of your ranch. Create and extra slime corral for your rocks or tabby slimes so all 3 dont mix.

By the time you have done all that, It will become night time. There is a new slime called “phosphor slime” Which is sensitive to light, meaning they will die if you dont have the corral upgrade “solar sheild” They die (including largos of them) so ignore them for now. other than that, there is no more changes (currently)

Spend you money on a garden, where it grows food so you dont have to do it yourself. since your rock slimes eat vegetables grow some carrots! they will grow overnight, so you feed them. and if your rich enough, get a plort collector. since you can shoot food through the walls, you dont really need an auto feeder as the vegetables get rotted after around 48 hours, which is enough for you to put new food in the corrals.

If you try to feed a tabby slime, it wont eat it as it only eats meat. There is a way to farm chickens, but its slow, and the walls are easily able to get passed so when you wake up your chickens are probably eaten by a slime. Try to mix carnivores with herbivores (eg. rock and tabby largo)

In the Deepest part of the dry reef, you will find a giant tabby slime. This is called a gordo, where they hide something, so in order to get it, you need to feed them untill they die from too much food. The tabby gordo can be popped right now if you want, but in only has a teleporter to the overgrown/docks, which you currently cant unlock so its useless. However, once your coming back, if your looking right,(if your coming there looking left), you will find a bridge with a pink gordo. If you head on to the bridge (note, you cannot swim so dont try) and find the gordo, give it 30 food items, it will pop, leaving a few crates, 10 pink slimes and most importantly, a slime key. Only some Gordos have slime keys while others (like the tabby gordo) have teleporters.

In the dry reef, you might of found a cave with angry slimes, which are feral slimes. if you read the note, then you should know that you need to feed them to calm them down. The method I use is called “running” yeah just avoid them and your good. Another place is the brige next to the tabby gordo. their will be phospor pink feral slimes (like in the cave) but, there is no roof, meaning that sunlight is there, so you can avoid them by going in the day when they will not spawn.

Past the Bridge, there is a gate, where you can unlock it with a slime key, leading to the moss blanket. there are a few slimes that are new. Boom slimes, honey slimes, puddle slimes, and a hard one to find (because they can turn invisible) hunter slimes. In the diet section, i said how you should mix carnivores with herbivores, so mix boom slimes with honey slimes. you can explore but, watch out.

If you have already played this game, this is relatable isnt it?

your going to get lost soooooo easily here. but dont worry, here are a few landmarks and you can find your way back with a map

Red: where the Phosphor Feral are
Blue: Tabby gordo
Light Green: Bridge
Green:gate
dark green: the puddle in the entrance(right next to the hole that you jump in)
Yellow: giant tree
purple: honey gordo
the rest of the place is has litttle to no landmarks, and the lankmarks are very hard to notice, plus the amount of hunter ferals everwhere past the place, So dont go past the
BLACK Line. You can explore on you own after, but be ready to emergency return.

Find These Below.

Every Slime Has A favourite food. (check Slimepedia) Collect a mint mango, and start farming it
If a slime eats its favourite food, it will generate x2 of its plorts, and if it is a largo it generates both at x2. (eg. feeding a mint mango which is the favourite of a honey slime to a honey boom largo, it will generate x2 honey and x2 boom).
this can lead up to heavy amounts of money.

Unlike the Pink Gordo, this one is a little bit harder to find. If your going to the moss blanket, look left (and if your going to the ranch, look right) before the bridge, there is a small section where you can hop down, and theres a cave with a phosphor gordo. Since the Phosphor Slimes favor cuberries, if your growing them, you only need 25 instead of 50. Get your second key and either do the parkour up(if you have the jetpack upgrade)
or fall in the sea as you do not lose your key.

You Probably Have The Upgrades for the vac pack but right next to the house, there is a stand where you can buy the following:

Pulse wave: shoots a blast of air moving slimes away.:
Water Tank: Able to Vac up Fresh Water
Dash Boots: Running Costs lower amounts of energy. (its 40% i think)
Heart Module: Increases hp to 150.
Bigger Vac Storage: vac slots go to 30.
Jet pack: Able to hover, but costs energy.(you can gain small amounts of height too)

After 3 days of buying them the following appears:

Dash Boots MKII: take up even less energy from running (its 60% i think)
Heart Module MkII: Increases Hp further to 200.
Bigger Vac MkII: vac slots go to 40
Jetpack MkII : amount of energy to consumed by the jet pack slightly reduced (its like 20%)

After 3 days of that, the following appears:
Dash Boots MKIII Take up an even smaller amount of energy when walking (i think its like 70%)
Heart module MKIII Increases Hp even further to 250
Bigger Vac MKIII Vac slots go to 50.

The Tarr Slimes are weak to water. vac up some fresh water, and youve got a tarr killing weapon.
Not sure about the health system but

Direct Hit One shots
Splash dmg two shots

In The Dry Reef, there is a cave to the right(if your going north) that has a few Phosphor pink Ferals.
Dash past or give them food and there will be another slime gate. use the key from the phosphor gordo to enter the indigo quarry. It is recommended that you get the grotto after exploring the place.
there are new slimes here. The Rad slime, and another one that ill address later. for now, go inside the cave, and their will be a Rock gordo. Since you probably have rock tabby largos, you can just use the feed (btw i got my heat beets, which is the favourite of the rock slime from crates, where i could farm them) and you should be able to pop it, Inside is a teleporter which leads to the grotto, so if you have the grotto then thats fast track i guess.
This Cave Is pretty Important as it has a bunch of stuff, so I will call it “the cave” to make it easy.

There should be a small hole with a sphere, and fight next to it a giant pointy icicle shaped rock. use your jet-pack to go on it and you should see a torch and a exit. if you go that way, then go to the dinosaur shaped bones, there is a small path going upwards, then downwards, and then you will see another cave, but this time it is locked.

I put a guide to where the honey gordo is in the moss blanket section so get 25 mint mangoes and go pop the honey gordo in the moss blanket.

Once you have unlocked it, you have reached a new area.

Its a bit harder to get lost but still

Im not as familiar with the indigo quarry but ill try my best to locate spots as well has the route I was talking about in the indigo quarry section.

Red: Phosphor Ferals
Black:The Path I was taking about.
Yellow: Dinosaur Bones
Purple: cave with rock gordo.

Thats Literally it,

Past The Indigo Quarry, There is a ruins with a gate. In order to open in you need to put in plots in the correct places. bring the plorts and come back.

Pink Has Been Done For you.
Boom Plort
Phosphor Plort
Tabby Plort
Rock Plort
Honey Plort

You can tell which one my the features
(eg. tabby plort statue has ears, and honey has the honeycomb on its head.)

Once all of them are in place you will hear a scale but in slime noises

And enter The Ancient Ruins.

The Crystal Slime is a secret slime in the indigo quarry Heres a round to find it.
Another place is the ash isles but this is not a 100% so you dont need the slimepedia entry and we only need the crystal slime for plorts.

There are A new slime here.

BUT LEMMIE TELL YOU THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST SLIME FOREVER THIS THING SUCKS SO BADLY I WANT TO PUNCH MYSELF

but anyways more on that. Heres a guide to the end of ancient Ruins.

Black: path
Pink :Steps that are circle shaped
Green: jetpack the way there (only if you have 250 energy so get that)

Whats The Worst Slime In the Game?

The Slime That Really Shows Its Potential! (if you get it then haha i know not funny)

Quantum Slimes Are Half Transparent Slimes Thats favorite food is phase lemons.

To get phase lemons, you need to find a holographic tree, then throw fruit at it, turning your cuberry or whatever into a phase lemon.

Heres the thing though.

When Angry, this happens to all slimes The quantum slime spawns a quibit, which is like a clone of itself but more hollow, and the more angry it gets, the higher chance that it will teleport in place of the quibit. Which in short means, that it can literally escape its Corral. And go to other corrals, eat their plorts and start a tarr invasion. SO YOU CANT LET THEM GET THE SLIGHTEST BIT ANGRY OR ELSE YOU ARE DEAD. once you place them in your ranch, you cannot be away from your ranch for more than 30-48 hours or else the lemons rot, and they get angry.

By the way anger comes from lack of food.
its suggested you get 2 phase lemon trees and only 1-3 quantum largos in your corral.

You better not get lost or else theres going to be a tarr outbreak when your back.

or just dont put them in your ranch.

If you chose to endure hell and ranch quantum slimes, then get those phase lemons and get the quantum gordo

if not, get 50 chickens (briar hens count as 2 units)
and go burst the Boom Gordo

Routes over here

For the quantum open the gate thats blocking it first

For boom largo, when you find it, you will see his back so to the right or the left (i forgot lol) just open that up and it leads to him (also once hes bursted, he explodes dealing like alot of damage so make sure you are at full hp)

Green: quantum
Red: Boom

At the end of the ancient ruins there is a slime gate, open it up, and there is a teleporter, and you need 5 quantum plorts. either get them from your ranch or farm them. then, it unlocks the glass desert.

By now, you’ve probably found a rare slime.

there are 2 rare slimes.

1 The Gold Slime

2 The Lucky Slime.

if you ever find one, go to the chapter regarding both of them.

There Are 4 new slimes!

The Dervish Slime, and the tangle slime, and the mosaic slime, plus the fire slime.

Dervish Slime: Find them anywhere

Tangle Slime way 1: pop the tangle gordo. Also has a teleporter to the ranch
Tangle Slime way 2: there are statues of slimes everywhere. if you get all dervish slime statues(like the ancient ruins put the plorts),(theres also rock and tangle too) its spawns a fountian somewhere that has ancient water, that lasts only 30 seconds, and you can spray it on the bulbs that you found to start bringing back life to the glass desert.

Mosaic: they spawn near a bulb thats watered with ancient water.

Fire Slime: The Glass Desert Sometimes have firestorms and they drop like meteors.

This Place Is So easy to get lost in, more than the moss blanket, so dont wander off.

First of all, I do not know what the heck “dervish” means

same thing, get the prickle pears or whatever and pop it.

heres the location

you need to use your jetpack though its a bit hard to spot too.

Part one is to read H(h for Houston) last note which is found at the end of the glass desert (hes the guy giving tips and brodcasts the story.)

I highly suggest after, you go back and go starting from the dry reef, to the overgrowth, to the moss blanket, to the docks, then the grotto, then the indigo quarry, then the ancient ruins and then the glass desert to go and see the entire story.

if not let me summarise it:

Houston was on an adventure and found himself between to doors.

To become a Great adventurer, telling the story of the far, far, range, getting glory and that stuff

or

get a girlfriend.

Guess what he chose,

but he didnt go and left the notes, and lived on his girlfriends ranch

PS: its thora west

heres the map, and if theres no quantum slimes, then just kill yourself because i had a hard time getting back and so will you.

Theres a landmark that i cant show on the map cuz of layerings

Feral slimes with a bunch of paths at the different heights.

Good luck finding your way back if you have quantum slimes 🙂

Open 5 Slime Gates.
(this is to prevent glitches where you can teleport in speedruns to make it fun)

1: Moss Blanket
2: Indigo Quarry
3: Ancient Ruins
4: Glass Desert

Now its time to get the 5th one.

purchase the overgrowth and burst the tabby gordo.
Go to the teleporter and you should find a pink gordo. at the peak. (easy with jetpack)

Then, in the moss blanket, go to the right and open the slime gate (which leads to the ruins but counts,)

Then You need to do 1 last thing.

Read Casey’s: Final message

If you have quantum slimes then…

1: are you going to be done with this game after you beat it

or

2 Are you going for a casual/100% after?

if you picked 1, Then Sleep, read mail (you get one around every day with casey) untill you get “Re:Another Tour” read it if you want its the story and then the credits+ the song “1000 light years away” will play.

if you picked 2 then feed your slimes (especially the quantums) then sleep.

OR

If you dont have quantum slimes then just feed your boom and dervish slimes (or all of them) untill you get the credits sence.

If you ever spot a golden slime, pause your game.

First. It will despawn if you get to close. which means if it spawned right next to you. Sorry but its probably going to despawn.

however, if you saw it, then get the closest food item (or if you already have food skip this) and shoot it at it. since there is no real way to measure the range of when it will despawn, you need to try and hit it, because it will only eat food when its touching it, so you need some good markmanships.

Once it eats the food, it will bounce and, most likely, despawn, but if you manage to hit it again or hit in midair, you can get a second one. Before it despawns, its hard but you might be able to get a third plot from a gold slime.

each plort can sell for around 500 so its a quick bit of cash.

However, if you have the golden sureshot, you can get 3! plorts at once.

But if you have a gilded ginger,(spawns randomly in 74 locations in the glass desert so its very hard to get them), it will produce 5 plorts!

In all, its just a rare occurrence, which you will probably see 1-3 times, and in a 100% like 3-9 times.

Fun Fact: when any slime spawns, it has a 1/10000 to be replaced by a gold slime.

Just Like the gold slime, the lucky slime is a rare event, but with a few changes.
1. It only eats meat and has no favourite food.
2. It doesnt despawn if you get close, and rather despawns in 30 seconds.
3. when fed, it gives 50×4 coins (200) instead of a gold plort.
4. it doesnt jump or despawn when hit so if you have a max tank of chickens, you can make like 8000.
you can feed it infinitely until it despawns.

Some Words In Case You Dont Know What They Mean:

Vac: sucking up
Burst: killing a gordo
