i just learned this tonight -i started playing lost colony a couple days ago- and figured i’d share in case anyone else finds it helpful.

when you find a (high level) solwyn, put 4 foundations, then single door frames to make a trap for the solwyn.

if you have an argy you can pick up the solwyn and easily plop it in the trap, if not put 2 ramps on a side and agro it to get it in.-just be careful you don’t move too far from where you found it, i read that if you “remove a solwyn from its biome, it will give you primitive vulpite no matter what.” not sure if that’s true or not but i’d rather not risk it.

then you obviously want to lose agro, once you do you can play the mini game and try for your vulpite.

i found the easiest way to do all the emotes (quickly) was to have my default whistle set to call friends, put the whistle in one of the first few slots on my hotbar. when you need to pet your veilwyn or have it beg/play, just hold whatever slot the whistle is in and it will bring up the radial menu, from there go to emotes and match what the solwyn is showing.

like a lot of the other tips here suggest, un companion & re companion your veilwyn right before you start the mini game.

first time i tried for vulpite i didnt do that and i got to 90% curiosity, did the final (correct) emote but it didnt give me the vulpite. once i could do it again i did it on the same solwyn, but DID un-companion & re companion my veilwyn and that time i got a vulpite no problem.

i did this exact method with a lvl 90 -just to test if it worked or was a waste of time- and i got a journeyman vulpite, then i found a lvl 150 & once again did the same thing and got an ascendant vulpite.

the lvl 150 was sitting in the trap for a good 2 hours and nothing happened to it. even when i went afk (was afk for about 45 minutes) standing near the trap waiting for the timer to go down to try it with the lvl 150. a titanboa came over to where i was (right infront of the trap) killed me, started beating on my veilwyn (that was on passive, i didn’t want it to accidentally attack the solwyn).

i didn’t realize i got killed til a good 10 minutes went by, made my way back to the trapped solwyn and it was still there, didnt have a scratch on it. that titanboa was still attacking my veilwyn (it has a llloooottt of health) which is probably why the solwyn didn’t get attacked by the titanboa. but all in all that was my journey of getting primitive to journeyman to ascendant vulpite tonight.

i’m not sure if you’re able to edit these once you post them, but if i can i will edit once im on tomorrow and let you know if the solwyn is still trapped.
