Quick Links
Slime Rancher 2 is full of strange and wondrous creatures, and for those creatures to stay happy and healthy, they need a good diet. It's not surprising that monstrous jelly creatures might have weird tastes, and while some of them are satisfied with carrots and fruit, others need rarer and more refined foods.
Moondew Nectar is one such food. Though some players may go a long time without ever needing or wanting it, others will find it calling them rather quickly, as it's a must-have food for raising one of the game's coolest and cutest creatures. Here's everything the player needs to know about where to find Moondew Nectar.
Moondew Nectar Basics
Slime Rancher 2 introduced players to several new breeds of slime. One of these, the Flutterslime, is particularly adorable. The Flutterslime is picky, however, and will only eat one kind of food: Moondew Nectar. This means that anyone interested in raising Flutterslimes will need to have a ready supply of this resource.
Because Moondew Nectar is the preferred food of Flutterslime, the player needs to be particularly fast and observant when trying to gather Nectar around Flutterslime. If the player is too slow, these slimes will happily gobble the Moondew Nectar up for themselves, making collecting it impossible.
How To Get Moondew Nectar
Having the Jetpack is useful when searching for Nectar, as it often grows in out-of-the-way places. Moondew Nectar can be found in the southern part of the Starlight Strand region, located to the southwest of Rainbow Island. It can be found growing from plants, but like other resources in the game, it sometimes falls off of the plant and can be found on the ground nearby. Players will have to be diligent about inspecting these areas and making sure they haven't missed any Moondew.
Like the Batty Slime, Moondew Nectar has some quirks that make finding it a challenge. Moondew Nectar only grows during the night, so make sure to plan any gathering expeditions for after the sun has set. The good news is that this resource is easy to find once the player knows what it looks like. Moondew Nectar looks like a pearl growing in the middle of a blue flower, so players should be on the lookout.
If the player sees a Flutterslime heading in the direction of some Moondew Nectar, there's one quick and simple way to protect the Nectar long enough for the player to pick it up. Use the vacpack to suck the Flutterslime up and shoot it in another direction, far enough away that the player can grab the Nectar first. If the player accidentally sucks the Moondew Nectar up too, there's no harm done since both the Flutterslime and Nectar will be safe inside the vacpack's storage.
Slime Rancher 2 is available for PC and Xbox Series X/S.
