How to Catch Petanks in Expedition 33

Have you ever been frustrated trying to catch those pesky Petanks in Expedition 33? I know I have. They’re quick, they’re clever, and they can be a real pain if you don’t know what you’re doing. But don’t worry, I’m here to help.
To catch a Petank, you need to chase it onto a glowing, illuminated tile on the ground. When the Petank steps on this tile, it will be trapped, and you can then engage it in battle. It’s that simple, but it can be tricky to pull off.
How to find Petanks
Finding Petanks is the first step. They can be found in various locations throughout the world of Expedition 33. I remember the first time I saw one. I was exploring the Stone Wave Cliffs Cave when I spotted a strange, glowing creature. I tried to run up to it, but it was too fast. After a few failed attempts, I realized I had to be smarter. I looked around and noticed a glowing tile on the ground. I then chased the Petank towards the tile, and to my surprise, it got trapped! It was a real “aha!” moment for me.
Here are some tips for finding Petanks:
- Keep an eye out for glowing creatures. Petanks have a distinct glow that makes them stand out.
- Listen for their unique sound. Petanks make a chittering sound that can help you locate them.
- Explore every nook and cranny. Petanks can be found in some of the most unexpected places.
How to Catch Petanks
Once you’ve found a Petank, the next step is to catch it. As I mentioned earlier, you need to chase it onto an illuminated tile. I remember this one time I was trying to catch a Chromatic Petank. These are a rarer and more powerful version of the regular Petank. I spent a good 30 minutes chasing it around, but I just couldn’t get it to go where I wanted. I was about to give up when I remembered a helpful tip I had read online. The tip was to use the environment to my advantage. I noticed a narrow passage that led directly to the illuminated tile. I then herded the Chromatic Petank into the passage, and it had no choice but to run onto the tile. It was a great feeling to finally outsmart the little guy.
Here are some tips for catching Petanks:
- Be patient. It can take some time to get the hang of it.
- Use the environment to your advantage. Look for narrow passages or obstacles that you can use to guide the Petank.
- Don’t be afraid to experiment. There’s no one-size-fits-all strategy for catching Petanks.
Once you’ve trapped a Petank, you’ll have to battle it. Petanks are not very strong, but they are very cowardly. They will try to run away during the battle, so you’ll need to defeat them quickly.
