Monster Collecting

Collecting creatures is the central hook of LumenTale: Memories of Trey. The world is home to roughly 140 species of Animon, and your goal as a member of the Lumen is to find, catch, and raise them. This page covers how catching works and how to grow your collection.

The Holoken

The Holoken is the device every Lumen uses to capture Animon in the field. When you encounter a wild creature, you use the Holoken to attempt a capture. It is the essential tool of the trade, the thing that turns a wild Animon into a member of your team.

Finding Animon

Wild Animon roam the regions of Logos and Mythos. Where and when you explore matters: a day and night cycle changes which creatures appear, so some Animon only show up at certain times. Dungeons across Talea hold rarer creatures and hidden treasures. See Exploration for how to search effectively.

Capturing Tips

• Engage a wild Animon and weaken it before attempting a capture.

• Carry capture items so you do not run out mid-expedition.

• Return to the same area at a different time of day to find different species.

• Check dungeons for rare encounters you will not see in the open world.

Capture Items

Capturing uses consumable items. The game's pre-launch bonus references a capture set that includes Bilias, Velox Bilias, and Lost Bilias. For how these and other consumables work, see Items and Currency.

Completing Your Collection

With around 140 species to find, some creatures are easier to track down than others. Beyond catching them yourself, you can complete gaps in your collection through Trading, whether through the Trade Station, with friends, or with the wider community.

After You Catch Them

Once an Animon is yours, the focus shifts to raising it. See Monster Taming and Bonding and Leveling and Progression. You can also house and train creatures in your Anispace.
