Compare two companions’ abilities, movement and forms

Two short catching routes in Nimbus Fields

Start from the map position shown in each linked video, then follow the nearby landmarks to the target. Both recordings show a catch; neither establishes a fixed spawn timer, mandatory weather or travel from an unlocked teleport.

Where to look for companions

Weather, time and surroundings can affect encounters. A region name does not guarantee a creature at every visit, and these habitat listings do not tell you when each area unlocks.

Map resources and encounter guidance

The official world showcase introduces places including Sea of Flowers and Blitzwood. Use it for regional context, and use the in-game map for your own unlocked routes and objectives.

This guide covers habitat regions and two filmed catching routes. It does not include an interactive map or a complete list of chests, eggs and spawn locations. For Irisalis, completing its Legendary Aniipod unlocks the dedicated map encounter.
