Just like fishing and cooking, bug hunting is also a popular activity in Palia. It doesn’t matter which activity you pick; you will have many things to catch. When fishing, for example, there are a ton of fish that are scattered across the various regions of the Palian world. However, casting your line and waiting for a unique fish to get caught can become boring after a while. That’s where bug-hunting comes in. Instead of staying still and doing the same boring action again and again, bug hunting provides more active engagement. Well, that being said, if you want to know how to catch the Garden Millipede in Palia, here’s everything you need to know.
The real-life millipede usually sticks around flower trees, and all they do is eat and eat. Until they are potent enough to turn into butterflies. Well, the Garden Millipede in Palia loves running. Yes, you won’t find it stuck to some trees; instead, you will randomly see it running a marathon from one place to another. No one knows why they run so much, but it is what it is. Anyway, let’s see what you must do to catch it.
Palia Garden Millipede: How to get, find, & catch
Let’s check its origin first. It is an uncommon insect, which means it isn’t that hard to find. Maybe it’s a bit more difficult than common insects, but that’s just fair. Also, you just need standard smoke bombs to catch them. Just two hits are enough to take down this naughty insect. But to catch them, you must know where to find them.
Grassy Fields/Hills in Kilima Valley
The Kilima Valley map has quite a few grassy and hilly regions. But only a few can be counted as the hotspot of Garden Millipede spawns. These hotspots are as follows:
- Chapaa Crossing
- Leafhopper Hills
- Reflection Fields
- Whispering Banks
As a bonus, there is a 5% chance that one Garden Millipede may spawn while harvesting Wild Garlic and Sundrop Lilies within those areas.
Tools you need
As for catching this insect, you need standard smoke bombs. You can craft them using 1x clay and 1x sundrop lily each. So it won’t take that much to prepare. Also, you can try to upgrade your belt to something like a standard belt. The beginner or makeshift belt is still more than enough for catching. However, the more, the merrier. You need these requirements/items for upgrading to Standard Belt:
- Bug-catching skill level 3
- Leather x4
- Copper Bar x3
- Makeshift Belt x1
You can get the recipe from the Bug Catching Guild store for 250 gold. Then you can start upgrading your makeshift belt using the regular old worktable. The Standard Belt will grant a 50% catch rate for regular Garden Millipedes and 30% for star-quality ones.
Time
Well, being an uncommon insect, it is not a time-sensitive creature. That means you can hunt for the Garden Millipede at any time (Day/Night). It’s all about luck.
How do you catch it?
When you notice this tiny little thing running around the grassy lands, just equip your smoke bomb and throw it at the insect. Depending on your belt and smoke bomb quality, it may take one to three stuns to catch it. The base version of this insect can be sold for 36 gold, while the star-quality version is worth 54 gold.
