Emberpup

Where to find Emberpup

Use the white-flower route below for a Basic Form catch. Check the smaller target’s Emberpup name before throwing; the larger Flameruff in the same pack is a different target. For Highland or Mountain Woods, use the separate habitat notes rather than assuming this route yields every form. For Ranka’s quest, Twine with Emberpup and track the partner’s scent on Beast Fang Ridge. The campfire belongs to the separate Warrior prerequisite for the flower objective; follow the quest guide instead of treating this wild catch as the task.

Basic Form habitats

• Nimbus Fields
• The Mistwoods
• The Argent Strait
• Echoback Landing
• Beast Fang Ridge

Exact unlock, weather and time requirements are not confirmed. A habitat is a region to search, not a guaranteed spawn point.

Nimbus Fields: the pack beside the white flowers

Start here: East of the Nimbus Fields label, on the path north of the nearby blue map icon. Match the player marker at 00:00; the map displays approximately −1190, 0832.

Before you go

• Reach the shown part of Nimbus Fields with map access and catching available.
• Bring Aniipods and use your own platform’s aiming and throwing prompts. The footage uses Spanish text and controller prompts.

The recording shows daylight and fair weather. It does not establish either as a requirement, an exact respawn timer or a guaranteed catch rate. The map coordinates describe the recorded starting position, not a permanent spawn pin.

1. Match the starting player marker east of the Nimbus Fields label. This is a short walk from the displayed location; the recording does not show travel from a teleport.

2. Follow the pale path toward the dense white flowers. A larger Flameruff and several smaller Emberpup appear beside the path.

3. Aim at a smaller Emberpup, not the Flameruff. Check the target’s name, move into throwing range and release an Aniipod.

4. Check the acquisition notification. The filmed route shows Emberpup Lv.9 at 00:20; continue only after checking your own result.

If you cannot find or catch it

• Match the Basic Form and the pictured patch of terrain, rather than searching the entire region at random.
• If the group is absent, search nearby habitat or return later. No exact waiting time has been verified.
• If a throw fails, check the target name, your remaining Aniipods and the current on-screen chance before trying again. The percentage in this video applies only to that attempt.

Abilities at a glance

Selected abilities for Basic Form. Your available skills depend on your current companion and training.

Scorching Flames

Increases damage against targets with an elemental disadvantage.

Fire Kick

Leaps to dodge, then attacks the landing area. A successful dodge strengthens the attack and grants a damage bonus.

Fire Bolt

Hold to aim a fireball that applies Fire Debuff.

Putting abilities to use

Use Hustle for ground travel and stop before spending the stamina you need for the next obstacle. In combat, hold Fire Bolt to aim its Fire Debuff, then time Fire Kick against an incoming attack: the stronger hit and damage bonus require a successful dodge. Merely pressing Fire Kick does not guarantee that bonus. This suggested practice sequence follows the skill descriptions, not a tested damage ranking.

Hustle

Moves faster by spending stamina.

Emberpup forms

Highland adds Rock; Mountain Woods keeps Fire. The Nimbus Fields route below is for Basic Form. These region names do not establish how to change an existing companion’s form.

Evolution and training

The filmed Flameruff requirement screen lists Sanctum: First Spark and Aniimo level 12. It does not establish the complete material costs or later branches.
