Though it is possible to befriend more powerful Digimon as the main story progresses, one of the best ways to improve one’s team inDigimon Surviveis to Digivolve its existing members. Unfortunately, however, the materials needed to do so are somewhat rare, particularly during the first three-quarters of the game. This is especially true of Mature Enlightenments Slabs, which are needed toDigivolve a Digimon from Rookie to Champion form.

Though they can be found in chests and are dropped by certain bosses, the only reliable way to get Mature Enlightenments Slabs is by negotiating with one of five specific Digimon. One of these is Kuwagamon, who serves as one of the best late-game sources of the rare evolution item. However, beforeDigimon Surviveplayers can ask for one of the slabs or for Kuwagamon to become their friend, they’ll first need to figure out the best way to respond to its actions.
How to Befriend Kuwagamon in Digimon Survive
to befriend Kuwagamon, players will first need to select the Talk option while in a Free Battle or random encounter. They’ll then be able to select Kuwagamon from the list of foes to initiate a conversation, during which they’ll need to respond to three of its questions or statements. Choosing the best responses will fill two segments of the bar above its head, with three needing to be filled by the end of the conversation for a chance tobefriend the Digimon.
Despite its somewhat intimidating appearance, Kuwagamon is actually fairly weak, particularly for the point in the game when players first start to encounter it. With this in mind, players shouldn’t be afraid to assert their dominance when needed, though it’s best to remain non-confrontational unless Kuwagamon is acting aggressively. Players should keep this in mind when trying to befriend theInsectoid Digimon, or simply check out the best Kuwanamon responses down below.
(The monster has taken a threatening stance.)
[Take a step back.]
Me… eat you… okay?
(The monster looks away, as if bored.)
[Keep talking to him.]
(The monster seems perplexed by the sight of a human.)
[Smile and wave.]
(The monster thrashes about on the spot.)
[Yell threateningly.]
(The monster seems to be pleading hungrily.)
[Give him vegetables.]
I wanna be friends!
Where to Find Kuwagamon in Digimon Survive
Despite being one of the onlyreliable sources of Mature Enlightenment Slabs, Kuwagamon doesn’t start showing up until Part 11, at which point it can be found in Free Battles in the Forest Area. With this in mind, players should focus on finding some of the other Digimon who drop the rare evolution items, such as Dobermon, Garurumon, Kabuterimon, and Leomon. Even then though, they’ll need to wait until Part 9 to do so.
Digimon Surviveis available on PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Switch, and PC.
