Stealing Guide

Steal flow

1. Scout the nest. From base, note the guardian, distance, and your return path. Sleeping guards (common near Lake) let you grab without a chase. Wait for the wake-up timing if you need a clean exit.
2. Measure one-way time. Run to the nest once without stealing. Add extra seconds for grab animation, weight slowdown on large eggs, and a trap placement if you expect a chase.
3. Check the reset. Map eggs refresh on a roughly five-minute loop, then the field closes for about 13 seconds before the next batch. In-game day/night also swaps on a shorter cycle (~4.5 minutes) and can wipe field eggs at night. Camp the server reset cue, not a timer from another lobby.
4. Take the egg and move. Pick up the egg and start your return immediately. Do not stop to fight unless you are sure you can still make it. If the guardian catches you inside its own biome, the egg usually returns to that nest. If you get caught closer to base in an earlier biome, the egg can stay on the ground there so you can try again without a full reset.
5. Use traps and the bat. Drop a trap behind you when a guard or player is closing in. The bat lets you hit other carriers, and the same rule applies to you. Traps from Index rewards are limited, so save them for choke points.
6. Deliver to the garden. The steal only counts when the egg lands in your base garden. Hatch it there or hold it for a timed skip. Either way, leave a free pen slot if you expect a new pet.

Spawn times and timers

Players search "spawn times" for three different things. Mixing them up is how you miss a reset or chase the wrong clock.

Targets and tricks

• Golden eggs. Lake can spawn golden eggs that hatch into strong early pets. Same rules as any steal: make sure your Speed covers the round trip.
• Egg weight. Larger eggs apply a movement penalty while you carry them. A Secret-sized egg from Volcano or Cosmic needs more buffer than a Forest common. Practical Speed targets by weight class are on the speed page.
• Where a dropped egg lands. Caught in the guardian's own biome: egg goes back to the nest. Caught after you already crossed into a closer biome: the egg can sit where you fell, so a second grab is often shorter than starting over at the nest.
• Server hop. Seven players per server means crowded Cosmic camps. Hop servers to find fewer rivals when you are timing a reset spawn.
• Night reset. When day turns to night, field eggs can wipe. Plan steals before the swap or be ready to sprint right after fresh spawns. Some runs are blocked at night, wait for day if the zone will not let you in.
• Chat alerts. Secret and other high-value eggs often get called out in server chat when they land. On reset, scan chat first, then check the biomes you can actually reach.
• Cherry Blossom steals. Oni Tiger hits hard and can knock you back toward Abyss Ocean if you are under-geared. The 2.5B gate is entry only, plan closer to 3.5B Speed on the round trip for Crane eggs.
• Infested eggs (Hungry Frog archive). During Hungry Frog (Aug 29 to Sep 5, 2026), purple parasites marked infested hauls in any biome. You stole the egg, removed the parasite at base, and fed it to the frog by the safe-zone entrance. Night and map resets could refresh the field.
• Titan Temple steals. Gorilla King guards the eleventh biome past Cherry Blossom. The gate readout is about 7B Speed; build margin before you grab zone eggs on the return trip.
• Angels & Demons steals. Night-only twelfth biome at about 20B Speed. Check whether the night rolled Angels, Demons, or Merged before you commit. Heavier eggs need more than the gate; practical targets are on the speed page.
• Reset positioning. Stand at the edge of the best biome you can survive during the 13-second map closeout. Rare eggs are not limited to late zones, a Secret callout in Forest is still worth sprinting if your Speed covers the return.

Guardians by biome

Recommended Speed for each zone is on the speed guide.

How to hunt Secret Eggs

Secret Eggs do not spawn on a fixed timer you can set from another server. They appear when the map resets, and the game often announces the biome in server chat. Any zone can roll one, including Forest, so low-Speed players still have a real shot.

1. Train on the treadmill until your Speed can reach the biomes you plan to check after a reset
2. During the ~13-second map closeout, stand at the edge of the best biome you can survive, not at base
3. When eggs respawn, read server chat first for a Secret callout naming the egg and biome
4. Sprint to the named zone immediately. Prioritize eggs you can return with, not just the farthest nest
5. Press E to pick up the egg and run back before the guard or a faster player drops you
6. Place the egg in your garden. Secret hatches often take hours; offline hatch still runs
7. If your lobby has faster rivals, server hop to a quieter server before the next reset
8. Repeat every reset cycle. Missing chat during the first ten seconds costs most Secret attempts

Admin Abuse: catching rare eggs on reset

Admin Abuse is a developer-run window before major Saturday updates. Servers get stacked Egg Luck, Speed, and cash multipliers, and resets can drop multiple Secret or Eternal eggs at once. Join early, train during the boost, then race reset announcements.

• Join a server 15–20 minutes before the posted Admin Abuse start (usually Saturday morning US time)
• Clear pen slots so a rare hatch has somewhere to land
• AFK on the treadmill during the boost to raise Speed faster than normal training
• Keep unhatched eggs in inventory if a luck multiplier goes live
• Watch for All Egg Reset notices that name the egg and biome, then sprint immediately
• Prioritize the rarest egg on the announcement, then loop back for secondary spawns
• If Monster Obby opens, farm wins for the top-three Drill Egg (Drilla). Clear pens first

Example spawns from Admin Abuse #1 (Aug 22, 2026).

Angels & Demons steals

Angels & Demons is the twelfth biome. It only appears at night and needs about 20B Speed on the gate. Each night it rolls Angels (Light pets), Demons (Darkness pets), or a rare Merged form with both egg pools plus a luck boost.

• Train to roughly 20B Speed before you commit. The gate applies to Angels, Demons, and Merged alike
• Wait for in-game night. The zone is closed during day
• Check which variant spawned before you steal. Angels and Demons each keep their own eight-pet Index lines
• If Merged is up, prioritize eggs while the luck bonus is live instead of saving the run for later
• Guardians change with the variant. Build return buffer the same way you would for Titan Temple

A Secret Fusion Shrine sits behind the middle waterfall on the left side of Angels & Demons. The wall reads as water or lava depending on the night's Angels or Demons roll. Walk into the falls, wait a beat for the teleport, then use the pedestals.

During the Sep 12–13 launch window, a limited Light vs Dark team event ran alongside the biome. Players picked a side, collected rings on a timer, and chased milestone rewards. That ring loop is archive unless it returns in a later Admin Abuse.

Pet tables, Fusion Shrine steps, and Index lines are on the pets page. Gate numbers sit on the speed page.

Dr. Scramble event (live)

Dr. Scramble is the limited Update #5 event live through September 26, 2026. About every 30 minutes, drones spawn for roughly five minutes. Bat them for Samples, spend Samples in the Experiment Shop, and finish Nibbles' five-part vault in Abyss Ocean.

1. When the wave starts, equip your bat and hit Dr. Scramble drones. Each hit removes 1 HP; drones usually take five hits.
2. Collect Samples from defeated drones. Spend them in the Experiment Shop while the event is live.
3. Enter Abyss Ocean and find the small cave entrance on the right. Press E to reach the Secret Cave and talk to Nibbles (Escaped Experiment).
4. Pick up Lost Part #1 behind the T-Rex head in Prehistoric, and Lost Part #2 by the tiny volcano wall in Volcano.
5. The other three parts drop from drones at random. Keep clearing waves until you have all five.
6. Return the parts to Nibbles and claim the Stolen Experiment Vault reward to unlock the Scrambler.

Sample prices above are shop snapshots and can change with stock. Buy Experiment #001 while the limit-1 egg is still listed, then Nibbles #013, then boosters only for sessions you will actually play. Hatch odds for Experiment eggs are not listed here.

Hungry Frog event (ended)

Hungry Frog ran Aug 29 to Sep 5, 2026. Field eggs could spawn with purple parasites in any biome, including early zones. You stole the egg, stripped the parasite at your garden, and fed five parasites to the Hungry Frog by the safe-zone entrance (near the sell vendor) for one Monster Chest. Keep this section as an archive if the loop returns later.

1. After a map reset or night refresh, scan any biome for eggs with purple parasites on the shell, including Forest and Lake if they roll
2. Steal the infested egg and sprint home like any other haul. You can land more than one infested haul in a day cycle when resets keep spawning them
3. At your garden, remove the parasite from the egg before you hatch or store it
4. Carry each parasite to the Hungry Frog at the safe-zone entrance near the sell vendor and feed it
5. Feed five parasites total to fill the meter and receive one Monster Chest
6. Open the chest for timed boosts, a Flyswatter bat (5%), a Monstrous Egg roll (1.5%), or related Monstrous mutation outcomes on Titan Temple pets

Odds below are from the Hungry Frog window. The Flyswatter is a limited bat for knocking rivals, same job as Index biome bats. If the event returns, read the reward panel in that lobby.

Monstrous mutation details also sit on the mutations guide.
