How to get S-class Xeno pets in No Man’s Sky

The Xeno Arena update has suddenly converted No Man’s Sky into a monster-collector adventure, and at the top lies the S-class pets. All pets who fight for you will have different tiers. While you can upgrade all of them, it’s always beneficial to find S-tier pets from the get-go.

How to find S-class Xeno pets in No Man’s Sky

For starters, you’ll need to clear a fair amount of in-game content before you’ll find a quest that will guide you through the basics of Xeno battles.

There are three tutorial battles to complete as part of the Xeno Arena quest. Once those are done, you’ll be able to explore and collect creatures of your own freely. Go to any planet you want, but there must be a life form on it. Wait for a couple of minutes for the animals to load on the planet, and then you’ll need to use your scanner.

Once the scan is complete, you’ll be able to identify the animal’s tier. Continue this process until you find one with S-tier class as its base. This could also be one that was discovered by another player and scanned on the planet before.

Approach the animal, and you’ll get the option to feed it. Provide food for the animal, and you’ll be able to add it as a companion. It can now be used for fights in Xeno Arenas once you’re aboard the Anomaly.

S-tier Xenos are not perfect. Some of them can be incredibly underleveled when you find them. Naturally, they’ll still be weak. However, they will grow quicker and better compared to low-tier companions. That said, you can do fine without setting up a team of only S-tier companions.

Your journey from Finland to Russia in Road to Vostok doesn’t need to be a lonely march, and that can be ensured by finding a cat on the fourth day of your adventure. If you manage to survive the first three days, you’ll be tasked with finding a missing cat.

Let’s look at how you can rescue it and add it as your beloved companion.

How to complete the Missing Cat event in Road to Vostok

You have to survive the first three days, and you will be able to accept the quest. The cat can be found in the Outpost area, but for that, you’ll need to prepare carefully. The quest requires you to travel from the Village to the School, and then to the Outpost, and then again return via the same route. Since you’ll lose hydration and energy at all levels, you’ll need water and food.

Stick to the right side of the map, go past the lake, and you’ll find a road. Stick to the road, head right, and you’ll find the Transfer sign that takes you to the School area. Once you’re at the School, walk near the cover that will lead you to the bridge. This is a straight route, but there will be enemies around.

Reach the end of the bridge, and you’ll reach the Outpost area. The Outpost is extremely dangerous since it’s an open area, and you can get shot. There are three bunkers at this location: the first one is immediately on the right of the spawn point. The second one will be to the left of the Red Farmhouse. Finally, the third one is to the right of the Red Farmhouse.

Once again, keep to your right, and you’ll come across a small hill. There’s an entrance to an underground bunker that will lead you to the cat. Go inside a room on your left, and you’ll find a small well (look for the entrance hidden by wooden planks). You’ll find the black cat in a cardboard box. Interact with the well to rescue the cat.

The exact location of the cat could differ on your save. It can spawn in any of the three bunkers at the Outpost location. Once you rescue the cat, head back via the same route that you came from. Don’t die along the way, as you’ll need to restart the entire process.
