There were a lot of new Pals added into Palworld as part of the Sakurajima update and none of them are more worth catching than Mimog. The problem is, Mimog is incredibly irritating to try and capture, but I’ve worked out a trick.
Although it is hard to catch, getting your hands on a Mimog is definitely worth it. Not only do they drop huge amounts of Gold and Dog Coins, but they also have what might be the most useful Partner Skill of any Pal — “Unlock”. While Mimog is accompanying you, you will be able to access locked Treasure Chests without a key.
When you first come across a Mimog, it will simply be chilling in the sunshine, pretending to be a treasure chest as Mimics are known to do. However, upon attacking it, you won’t be immediately dragged into a fight. Instead, the Mimog will flee at lightning speed, and if you’re not quick, you’ll immediately lose sight of it and have a very hard time finding it again. You essentially become Wile E. Coyote chasing after Road Runner.
How to catch a Mimog in Palworld
If you’re hoping to catch a Mimog, my advice is to perform your first attack while mounted on a suitably fast mount. Some good options are:
- Frostallion
- Jetragon
- Fenglope
You’ll need to attack the Mimog and then immediately chase after it, making sure to keep an eye on where the very fast Pal shoots off to.
Where to find Mimog in Palworld
Thankfully, with spawn points all over Palpagos, Mimog isn’t all that hard to find in the first place. They can be found in the same areas in both the day and night, although they appear in the southern half of the Dessicated Desert at night time as well as the north.
Of course, the further you go away from the starting point of Palworld, the higher level the Mimog will be and the harder they’ll be to catch. It might be a good idea to hunt for lower level Mimogs in the forest biome of Palpagos, in the hopes that you can avoid fighting it at all and simply throw a suitably high level Pal Sphere to capture it without a battle.
