Like a lot of hack-and-slash games and RPGs, Soul Knight Prequel allows you the option of going out on quests with a companion in the form of a pet. Pets are quite useful in a lot of situations because they can make fights easier and have skills that can come in handy in certain fights.
But you also have to make sure that your pets are up to the challenge by making them stronger. Unlike your character, pets can become stronger in a different way.
So, if you want to know how to make your pet stronger, I have a guide just for you.
How to Make Your Pet Stronger
Increase Your Bond
When you receive your pet, they have no bond points. The level of intimacy you have with your pet is what determines how strong the pet will be.
That’s why it is important for you to increase your bond points with your pet to help them grow stronger. There are three sure ways to increase your bond with your pet:
1. Petting them with bare hands
You can remove your equipped weapon and then approach your pet to interact with it. Doing so will allow your character to pet it and increase its intimacy with you. If you see a heart right above the pet, that means that you were able to pet it properly.
2. Go to dungeons with them
Going to a dungeon with your pet will increase its bond with you as well. You can do this multiple times or as long as you can go to a dungeon. The more that your pet helps you out in your quests in the dungeons, the faster it is for your pet to increase its bond or intimacy with you.
3. Feeding your pet
The fastest way to increase your pet’s intimacy is by feeding it. Different pets have different favorite foods, so that means that you have to look at which food to give your pet to increase its intimacy.
You can only feed your pet once before every dungeon. That means that your pet won’t eat another bite if you attempt to feed it again right after feeding it. However, taking your pet to the dungeon will reset this. After defeating the dungeon boss and returning to the village, your pet can eat again.
This is why feeding your pet is the fastest way to increase its intimacy, as you can do this repeatedly after you both finish a dungeon. Don’t forget to feed your pet before and after going to a dungeon.
Learn Skills
Your pet will naturally open more skill slots when its intimacy increases. You can use those slots to allow your pet to learn more skills.
However, letting your pet learn skills costs money, and that means that you should have enough in-game gold for the skills that you want your pet to learn.
Go to the Bell Merchant to learn skills for your pet.
Different skills occupy a different number of skill slots. You can see how many slots the skills take up by looking at the number below the skills themselves.
So, what this means is that you have to determine which skills you want your pet to have depending on how many free skill slots it has.
Equipping Jewelry
Finally, letting your pet equip jewelry will make it stronger as well. Different types of jewelry have different effects. The most popular jewelry set is the Grimhowl set because of its fatebound effects for all of your allies.
How to Get Pets
There are three ways for you to get pets in this game:
- A free pet is given to the player as a gift at the start of the game.
- You can open eggs from the NPC called the Bell Merchant.
- Exchange smaller eggs for pet eggs
You can choose which pet you want to bring with you when you’re in the village. The game allows you to bring only one pet, so that means that you have to choose which pet suits you in battle based on their skills and unique talents.
