The new Budling companion is now available in Fisch, and you can obtain it by visiting the Living Garden and helping the little companion reach its destination.
In this post, I will tell you how to find Budling, where it can spawn, and exactly what you need to do to get it into your Companion Satchel.
How to Obtain Budling Companion in Fisch – Unlock Tips
The process itself is fairly simple once you find Budling, but getting it to appear can be a little tricky. Based on what was shown, Budling appears to work best in new servers, so you may need to spend some time server hopping.
Once you finally find him, you just need to interact with Budling and carefully guide him through the Living Garden. Here is how the whole process works.
Go to the Living Garden
First things first, make your way over to the Living Garden.
Once you get there, head toward the area where Budling can spawn. Budling should appear around this location, and you need to look around carefully to see if he is there.
One thing that was noticed while obtaining him is that Budling seemed to only work properly in new servers. After obtaining him once, he spawned back in the same area again, but there did not seem to be another way to force him to spawn.
So, if Budling is not appearing for you, you may want to try joining a brand-new server or server hopping until you finally see him.
Interact With Budling
Once you find Budling, simply interact with him.
He will tell you that he needs to plant a seed. After interacting with him, you can begin taking him toward the garden.
From here, you need to start moving through the correct path and guide the companion along with you.
The important thing is to make sure you do not leave Budling too far behind.
Stay Close to Budling
As you are walking toward the garden, make sure you stay close to the companion.
If you move too far away from Budling, he can get lost, so it is better to keep an eye on him and guide him carefully as you move through the area.
You want to bring the companion straight through the path and continue guiding him forward.
Keep following the route through the Living Garden until you can finally take him all the way toward the back of the garden.
Bring Budling to the Back of the Garden
Once you have successfully guided Budling through the area, continue walking him toward the back of the garden.
When you reach the correct location, Budling will automatically go into your Companion Satchel.
At that point, you have successfully obtained the new Budling companion.
So, the main process is finding Budling in the Living Garden, interacting with him, staying close so he does not get lost, and carefully bringing him all the way to the garden.
What Does Budling Look Like?
After obtaining Budling, you can equip him and see what the little companion looks like.
Budling looks similar to some of the NPCs found around the Living Garden. The companion is described as:
A sleepy sprout with a nose for nectar, happiest when the garden’s in bloom and the night is kind.
The description is interesting because it mentions both the garden and nighttime, which could possibly be connected to how Budling works.
Budling at Night
Since Budling’s description specifically mentions the night, it is worth checking what happens when nighttime arrives.
At night, Budling’s eyes were seen glowing, and they appeared blue while the companion was following around.
After trying a few casts, however, there was no obvious action happening besides Budling spinning around the player.
So, while the nighttime effect made Budling look different, there was no clear confirmation of exactly what ability or passive was being activated.
Does Budling Increase Divine Chances?
There was also a mention from another player in chat that Budling may increase Divine chances.
However, this was not confirmed during the showcase.
After several casts, there was no obvious effect that could clearly prove what Budling was doing. Because of that, the Divine chance increase should only be treated as something players were suggesting rather than a confirmed ability based on the information shown.
The companion’s description mentioning nectar, the Living Garden, and nighttime could mean that Budling has some kind of special mechanic, but more testing would be needed to know exactly how it works.
Overall, getting Budling is fairly straightforward once you manage to find him.
Head to the Living Garden and look for the companion around its spawn area. If Budling does not appear, you may need to try server hopping and joining a new server until you find him.
Once he appears, interact with Budling and guide him through the path while staying close to him so he does not get lost. Bring him all the way to the back of the garden, and he will automatically be added to your Companion Satchel.
Budling is also an interesting-looking companion, especially with its glowing blue eyes at night. Its exact passive was not completely clear during the showcase, but there may be more to discover about this little sleepy sprout as players continue testing it.
