How to Catch Animon
June 5, 2026 at 12:39 PM
Covers the two Holoken capture methods (Bilia Mode QTE and Animon Mode battle), stunning to raise catch rate, and which mode is safer.
Catching Animon in LumenTale: Memories of Trey is handled through the Holoken, a tool with two distinct modes. One mode throws a Bilia to trigger a quick capture, while the other starts a battle from an advantageous position. Knowing when to use each mode is the key to building your team efficiently.
The Holoken can switch between Bilia Mode and Animon Mode. Each approaches capture differently.
Mode | What It Does |
|---|---|
Bilia Mode | Lets you hit an Animon with a Bilia, which triggers a QTE event. Succeeding at the QTE catches the Animon. |
Animon Mode | Hitting an Animon immediately starts a battle from a player advantage, especially strong if you lead with an Animon that has a favorable type. |
When using the Holoken, you can freely aim before tossing a Bilia to improve your chances of landing a hit. Animon behave differently by species: some stay calm and are easy to approach, others aggressively chase you on sight, and a few will run away.
Switch the Holoken to Bilia Mode.
Aim at the target Animon to line up your throw.
Toss a Bilia to start the QTE event.
Complete the QTE successfully to catch the Animon.
The QTE's difficulty can increase with the Animon's level. Failing the QTE costs you the Bilia and enrages the Animon, which then chases you.
If an Animon becomes enraged after a failed QTE, switch to Animon Mode and attack to stun it. Attempting to catch an Animon while it is stunned increases the catch rate.
Start a battle, ideally by hitting the Animon with Animon Mode for an opening advantage.
Lower the wild Animon's health to at least below 50%.
Attempt the capture while its health is low.
When you trigger a battle with Animon Mode, the enemy starts with its health already lowered, which makes it easier to catch.
Animon Mode is the less risky option for resources, unless you are in an area where the wild Animon are higher level than yours. Bilia Mode's QTE is faster for catching, but failing it loses a Bilia and enrages the target. Animon Mode lets you start with an advantage because the enemy's health has already been lowered, making it easier to catch overall.
