Largo Slime

[Semarias Alfna]

LargoSlimes are the result of a pure slime eating a plort not of its type. They are far bigger than pure slimes and can no longer be stored in the vacpack in this state; instead only being able to fit onto the nozzle. A Largo cannot revert back to a pure Slime.

A Largo Slime adopts the favored food, traits, and abilities of the Slime it was before transforming and the Slime type of the Plort that it ate as a pure Slime. When fed, they produce two Plorts; one for each of its base Slime types. This is doubled to four - two each - when eating one of its favored foods, making them far more efficient for ranching.

There is a risk to ranching Largos however; if a Largo eats another Plort of a type that it does not produce, it transforms into a Tarr; a hostile Slime that devours other Slimes and produces more Tarr when it does so. This is often referred to as a "Tarr outbreak".

Slimeology:

Largo Slimes are a hybrid of two slimes resulting from a slime eating a plort unlike its own. They are twice as big normal slimes and have a combined diet of their two source slimes, making them enticing for ranchers that want to maximize their profits.

Rancher Risks:

In addition to largos being more difficult to manage and having the combined powers of two slimes, an even greater threat to ranchers lies within these super-sized slimes. If a largo eats a plort unlike its two source slimes, it will transform into a ravenous tarr slime!

When there are many of one type of slime and just one of another type of slime, it is possible to mix them using only the food that the latter slime type eats (e.g. Veggies for a Rock Slime among several Dervish Slimes). Refer to the table for more info:

A Largo is a fusion of two slimes. It is formed by a slime that eats a plort unlike the ones it produces. Once in this form, it will carry over several factors, including: diet, favorite food, risks, slimeology, and plort production. By mixing Slimepedia entries together one can discover the needs of a largo. Largos will produce one of each plort of the slimes they are fused with; e.g, a Rock Tabby Largo will produce a Rock and Tabby Plort after eating. Trying to fuse an already existing largo with another slime plort will cause a Tarr to spawn. By mixing slime types various combinations can be discovered.

By feeding a largo a favorite food of one of it's components, 2 of each plort will be made. For example, feeding a Rock Tabby Largo either a Stony Chicken or a Heart Beet will produce 2 Rock Plorts and 2 Tabby Plorts

It is suggested to use the High Walls upgrade for the Corral, or else the Largos may escape via jumping, as they can jump higher than regular Slimes. An Auto Feeder and Plort Collector should also be used if the Largo either was a Rock Slime before, or ate a Rock Plort, otherwise they may hurt the rancher by accident.

The purpose of Slime Rancher is right there in the title - run a ranch full of slimes. However, unlike the traditional farm animals, slimes are much trickier to care for and contain. They can be very picky with what they eat, and their inherent bounciness makes it easy for them to escape if you don't prep properly.

The reason you're ranching slimes is for Plorts, valuable byproducts that slimes produce periodically. Different slimes produce different Plorts which have varying values, but you don't have to sacrifice all your space to each type of slime. You can instead combine them into Largo slimes that are able to produce multiple types of Plorts at once.

Alongside the basic Slimes that you can find out in the field, you can also encounter Largo Slimes. These are a combination of multiple slime types, appearing larger and having physical distinctions based on their types. In addition to being able to produce two types of plorts at once, they also adopt the behaviors of their source slimes allowing you to adjust their diets. You can make a largo simply by feeding a slime a plort different from its own. Here are the best options.

The Glass Desert is an interesting location to visit, and you're guaranteed to encounter Tangle and Dervish Slimes while you're there. Since they're both docile, it's quite easy to capture them and take them back to the ranch where you can turn them into a valuable Largo.

Their plorts are relatively valuable being worth 75 Newbucks each. In terms of characteristics, Tangles are meat-eaters while Dervishes are fruit-eaters, so turning them into a Largo will allow you to focus entirely on a fruit-based diet, specifically Prickle Pears.

Of all the areas you'll get to explore in Slime Rancher, the Moss Blanket is where you'll spend much of your time. It's one of the first areas you'll get access to, and it's quite calm and full of a variety of slimes. This includes the sweet Honey Slime and the intimidating-sounding Hunter Slime.

Since they're both docile and encountered early on, this is a Largo you can start making to get some quick plorts valued at 45 and 60 Newbucks. This will also allow you to make their diet fruit-based with their favorite food being Mint Mango.

There are a bunch of different Slimes that vastly differ in power and action, so it's best to be cautious around the more unusual ones. This applies to the spiky Crystal Slimes that can be found in the Indigo Quarry and the mysterious Quantum Slimes found in the Glass Desert and Ancient Ruins.

Though the Crystal Slime is harmful and Quantum Slimes can be difficult to manage, it's worth turning them into a Largo. Though their plorts have a good value of 60 Newbucks each, these slimes' combined weakness to water makes their hazards much easier to manage. They have an easy diet of both veggies and fruits.

You don't need to be a scientist to know that you shouldn't mix explosives, but that's a different story in Slime Rancher. The two Slimes of Rad and Boom have some very volatile qualities which you can encounter in various areas, but both can spawn in the Indigo Quarry and Wilds.

They're both harmful in terms of exploding and giving off radiation, but combining them can make them easier to keep in check. Their plorts share a value of 45 Newbucks, their Largo can subsist on veggies, and both of their harmful energies can be suppressed with water.

If Slime Rancher has a mascot, it's the Pink Slime. These happy blobs can be found all over alongside the grumpier Rock Slimes as distinguished by their spikes. Since these slimes can be found early on, it makes sense to combine them into a Largo to get a quick boost in plorts and Newbucks.

Though the Pink Slimes are quite friendly, they're not the only happy and harmless slimes you can encounter. The playful Tabby Slime which can be found all over and the night-only glowing Phosphor Slime are both cheerful in appearance and make for good Largo partners.

It's another combo that makes for a more manageable fruit-based diet with a favorite in Cuberries. Though their plorts are both worth 22 Newbucks each, the value of this combo is that it can be farmed early on for easy money.

Though the world of Slime Rancher may seem bright and colorful, there is also an element of danger that can be found in harmful and feral Slimes. The fiery Mosaic Slime and the aggressive Saber Slime are examples of such dangers lurking in areas like the Glass Desert and the Wilds respectively.

You should combine these two into a Largo slime to get plorts with values of 60 and 75 Newbucks. It also makes it so that the combo will have a favorite food in Silver Parsnips to keep them happy while water can be used to keep their fiery light in check.

Pretty much devours anything and everything food wise, detrimental if one is running free of a Corral on farm with more valuable food. Usually I am feeding them excessive amounts of Carrots from Odd Onion Gardens but having feed it a few of the foods around the game will net you:

Playful creatures in that when crossbred and by themselves they will play with food. This can be wasteful if using the Auto-Feeder feature of a corral. Stony Hens can be obtained along the way to the Moss Blanket door. Typically found on top of the center of area before turning right towards the dock ways. Also an achievement if you stand still and let it jump into your face:

Easy to spot before they random roll around doing damage if you happen to be in their path. And they dislike space invaders if your trying to wade into the thick of them in the wild or a corral with several of them. Mixing these guys with other Aggressive types are not recommended as they will bring the dangers to you. Heart beats can be found real early either a crate or from their hidden grow spot in the first area from your Ranch. Just jump over the short wall near the Pogofruit tree on the ground to the left. Their plorts combined with favorite vegetable means you can obtain:

These guys only really come out at night as well as the Feral Largo's along the docks towards Moss Blanket. Some Ferals also can be found in the cave towards Indigo. Unless your in the Grotto at your Ranch or your corral has the Solar Shield upgrade any Phosphor/Largo Combo's will be lost. Also any corrals will have to have the Air Net upgrade to contain Phosphor/Largo Combo's as the High Wall will not cut it. I have found the Grotto can contain them fairly well if they escape and despite having Tarr-crows on Gardens they can still grab the food as they tend to fall into the gardens eat then react to Tarr-crows. Cuberry can be found via crates or on the path towards Moss Blanket. Both come from trees on rock faces on far side of where you find Stony Hens nest and on a branch at a turn when Ferals typically appear.

A curious slime that, thou has a dangerous and obvious field of effect, is not directly aggressive. Oca Oca however will be found around the Indigo area. Largo combination with a Rad will still instill its AOE and on aggressive slimes and a few passive makes for keeping a good distance... An achievement can be netted by standing in a field for 15 seconds:
