How to catch Legendary Bugs in Fields of Mistria

The best of the bugs.

One of the best things about Fields of Mistria is the fact that you’re never short of something to do, a new challenge, or something to find. One of the things you’re going to be collecting a lot of while exploring is Bugs, and none are more rare than the five Legendary Bugs.

As with Legendary Fish, there is a specific Legendary Bug which spawns in each season. As well as this, there’s one Legendary Bug which can spawn during Spring, Summer, or Fall, although that doesn’t make it easier to find. 

Advice for catching Bugs in Fields of Mistria

Unlike with Fish, Bugs don’t tend to have specific locations where they spawn. They can show up pretty much anywhere in the overworld of Mistria and you need to keep your eye out for them during times when their spawning conditions are met. 

You also won’t get a notification at the start of the day if a Legendary Bug is making an appearance, so my overarching advice is to keep an eye out everywhere you go and make sure you explore the map fully if a Bug’s spawning conditions have been met.

The only piece of advice I can give you is that leaving and re-entering an area, either through moving to a different map or entering and exiting a building, will reset the Bugs (and Fish) in an area. You can also try shaking trees for certain Bugs, although this is a bit hit and miss.
