Where to Find and Catch Heartdrop Mantis in Palia

Palia offers various types of bugs that players can catch while doing the Bug Catching Guild. Catching all rarities of bugs is a crucial step in leveling up the Bug Catching Guild to unlock advanced versions of the Belt, as well as new items and crafting recipes at the Bug Catching Guild Store. One of the new epic bugs that players can catch is the Heartdrop Mantis. In this guide, we will tell you where to find and catch the Heartdrop Mantis in Palia.

Where to Find Heartdrop Mantis in Palia

The Heartdrop Mantis is one of the new epic bugs in the game that spawn in multiple areas of the Royal Highlands map region. They are pretty easy to spot due to their decent size and unique pink-green color. The areas where the Heartdrop Mantis has a high chance of spawning are as follows.

• Steps of Renova
• The Standing Cliffs
• Royal Hunting Grounds

TIP: If you are not seeing any Heartdrop Mantis in the area, try catching other bugs in the area to raise the chances of spawning Heartdrop Mantis.

Out of all the main areas, the Steps of Renova has a high spawn rate of Heartdrop Mantis. Moreover, the Heartdrop Mantis can spawn near the Lantern Ash trees. It is best that you explore the area thoroughly. However, you might find some of the Heartdrop Mantis inside the Amber crystals. You need to break these crystals before you can catch them.

How to Catch a Heartdrop Mantis in Palia

Catching the Heartdrop Mantis is harder than most bugs that roam freely in Royal Highlands. Upon finding a Heartdrop Mantis, use the Smoke Bombs to stun it.

Additionally, stunning the Heartdrop Mantis will require numerous Smoke Bombs, so make sure you bring enough to stun it when you find it. If the Heartdrop Mantis gets alerted, it will try to flee in a straight line. It is best to throw the Sticky Smoke Bombs on it to slow it down and then use the regular Smoke Bombs to stun it. Once you have stunned the Heartdrop Mantis, go near it and interact with it to pick it up.

NOTE: There is a chance you might run into an Amber-touched Heartdrop Mantis, which has an Amber around it.

Catching the Amber-touched Heartdrop Mantis will drop more Amber Echo. However, if you do not have the Echo Tracker, you will not get Amber Echo from catching Heartdrop Mantis or any other bug. Echo Tracker is a special relic that Eshelon gives during the “A Stitch in Time” quest.

Uses of Heartdrop Mantis in Palia

The main use of Heartdrop Mantis is to use it as a crafting ingredient for Amadeus’ Blessing IV Relic. Moreover, it is one of the essential materials during the Brood to Perfection quest. Other than that, players can sell Heartdrop Mantis for 65 Gold (Base) or 97 Gold (Star-Quality) to Zeki or at the Shipping Bin. Moreover, you can also gift it to certain villagers who like it or those who need it. So, if you can find any Heartdrop Mantiss, store one in the storage so you can give one to the villagers who need it. The villagers’ needs change every week, so it is better to keep an eye on them.
