How to Adopt Animals

Adopt Animals During Exploration

You can adopt animals during the post battle Exploration phase. Animals you can adopt are denoted by orange dots on the Exploration map. Simply walk up to the animal and interact with it in order to adopt it.

You can adopt animals in the Exploration phase after battles in the main story, Paralogues, and skirmishes.

Raise your country's donation level to adopt more animals

The country's Donation level determines which species of animals you can adopt. Even if you encounter them in Exploration, some animals can only be adopted on higher Donation levels.

Raise your country's Donation level via the Bulletin Board at the Somniel's Cafe Terrace to adopt more animals.

Move From Stable to Farmyard

All adopted animals will go to the Stable, located in the upper right area of the Somniel. Interact with the Stable in order move 5 animals into the Farmyard. Animals in the farmyard will drop items (denoted as a sparkling area on the ground) after you complete a battle.

Make sure to check in on the items dropped at the farmyard, as you could get valuable materials!
