Palia has a vibrant open world for you to explore. It applies not only to characters but also to living creatures such as fish, animals, or bugs. You will need the latter to complete Bundles and some quests. However, some insects, like the Spitfire Cicada in Palia, are quite hard to find and catch. In addition to spawning at certain times of the day, they are also good at hiding. Luckily, there is a way you can hunt down these rare Cicadas.
Where To Find Spitfire Cicada
While catching bugs may seem like an activity to take a break from quests, it can actually earn you quite a lot of Gold. For example, a rare insect like the Spitfire Cicada can be sold for 145 Gold in Palia. Moreover, if you manage to get the star-quality version, its price will increase to 217 Gold.
Luckily, finding a Spitfire Cicada in Palia is quite easy, of course, if you know where and when to look. These insects prefer Sapwood trees as a resting place. Therefore, you just need to check every medium and large Sapwood tree that grows throughout Bahari Bay. Also, the Spitfire Cicada has an orange-yellow coloration, so it can be hard to spot. In addition, these bugs only spawn between 3 a.m. and 6 p.m.
How To Catch Spitfire Cicada in Palia
Like other insects in Palia, the Spitfire Cicada will sit on a tree until it spots you, and then it will try to fly away. Therefore, you have to use Smoke Bombs to slow down the beetle. But it’s worth noting that you’re better off using Sticky Smoke Bombs.
If you want to get a Spitfire Cicada with a 100% rate, you need to get and use Smoke Candle, which will make you invisible to bugs for 10 minutes. Then get as close to Cicada as possible and use the Supreme Smoke Bomb. Of course, this is one of the most expensive bombs, but with it, you will definitely be able to catch a Spitfire Cicada in Palia, and perhaps it will even be star-quality.
That’s all you need to know about how to find and catch the Spitfire Cicada in Palia. This insect can bring you quite a lot of Gold, so you should catch it:
- Stock up on Smoke Bombs and Smoke Candles.
- Look for a Sapwood tree in Bahari Bay between 3 a.m. and 6 p.m.
- Use all your skills and tools to catch the Cicada.
Palia is now in Open Beta and will be released on PC and the Nintendo Switch.
