Slime Rancher 2: New Angler and Rock Slime Locations

Slime Rancher 2 is brimming with various types of slimes across Rainbow Island. Rock Slimes and Angler Slimes in particular can be a little more difficult to locate, so we’ve pinpointed their exact spots on the map in an easy-to-follow guide on the new Angler and Rock Slime locations.

Rock Slimes can be easily identified by their bright blue color tone, and jagged rocks protruding from their body.

Conversely, Angler Slime is based on the Anglerfish in their design and is a darker shade of blue with a little glowing yellow light dropping from their head.

Accessing them will require ‘unlocking’ the Ember Valley region, which we’ll explain below.

While Angler Slimes can also be accessed through Starlight Strand, we recommend sticking to one region for both.

Where to Locate Angler and Rock Slime in Slime Rancher 2

Before you can access the region of Ember Valley, you’ll need to do a little bit of leg work.

This area is Northwest of Rainbow Fields. You’ll have to interact with a pedestal in Rainbow Fields (as indicated on the map below) to remove the pillars blocking the teleportation pad which will lead you to Ember Valley.

To do this, head to the Northwest region of Rainbow Fields. You’ll recall this as the region in which you first started the game.

Once here, look about for a Pink Gordo Slime – these are easily identified by their large size and pink hue. These slimes are fixed to one location and will not move about.

You’ll have to continue to feed the slime until it combusts. The Pink Gordo will consume fruits or other slimes – you don’t have to worry about what you feed it, like water lettuce.

Once it combusts, step into the spot it was in, and wait for the geyser to burst.

Once it does, it will lift and carry you. Once you land, look around for a device you’ll need to interact with to the left-hand side. This will bring down walls/pillars revealing a teleportation platform that you can use to enter Ember Valley.

After you’ve reached Ember Valley, head to the northwest. Rock Slimes and Angler Slimes can be found all around the region, but are most typically located within caves. When trying to capture a Rock Slime, pay particular attention to when it begins to start rolling.
