Slime Rancher 2 slime locations list, slime diets and favourite foods explained
Slime management.
Slime Rancher 2 slimes come in many forms - and like its predecessor, there's a whole host of them to collect.
From the common Pink Slime to the rare Gold Slime, filling out the Slimepedia is one of the game’s main goals.
But some of these slimes only appear in certain locations or at certain times, so this slime locations list will help you to track them all down. If you need more in a pinch, then remember finding Gordo locations will end up with a handful of the respective type when fed enough.

How do slimes work in Slime Rancher 2?
The key to finding all of the slimes is simply continuing to explore new areas. There are two additional islands which you will unlock through play.
The beginner island, where your ranch and conservatory is, is called Rainbow Fields. But you’ll soon be travelling back and forth between Ember Valley and the Starlight Strand, where there are lots of new slime to discover.
But some of these are tricky and only spawn in very particular places, or have certain requirements to be added to the Slimepedia, so this guide should help you to know where and when to go looking.
If you’re struggling to reach anywhere, it can be very helpful to unlock and upgrade the jetpack, as you’ll need this to get to certain areas. And creating a few teleporters when you are able to will also speed up the process of adding all these slime to your ranch!
What are the new slimes in Slime Rancher 2?
Slime Rancher 2 introduces a few new slimes to the lineup. Some of these can be discovered right away, like the exuberant Cotton Slime. Be careful though as they’re deceptive - although you can find and catch them right away, their high-hopping habits make them difficult to contain!
Others of these new types of slime are hidden away deep into the map, like the beautiful Flutter Slime. It might take a while to find them all, but once you do they’ll add a lot of vibrancy and diversity to your slime lineup. (Your slimeup?).
The new slimes for you to find are:
- Cotton Slime: A bouncy, rabbit-like slime with big ears.
- Angler Slime: A water-loving slime with a light on its head - and on its plorts!
- Batty Slime: As the name suggests, this bat-like slime mostly lives in caves.
- Flutter Slime: A slime with beautiful butterfly-like wings.
- Ringtail Slime: A mischievous slime with a habit for thievery.
There are also a few Slime types from the original game that haven’t yet been added to Slime Rancher 2, but more kinds of Slime may be added as the game is still in early access.
