While you’re busy running your ranch and raising your favourite slimes inSlime Rancher, there’s always a constant threat lurking: the Tarr. These horrible slimes will eat the slimes you’re caring for on your farm, spawn other Tarr, and can attack you.
You don’t want these nasty slimes lingering on your ranch, nor do you want to face the in the wild, so how do the Tarr appear and how can you get rid of them? We’ve got it all covered right here.
Where Do The Tarr Come From?
Tarr are formedwhen Largo eat foreign Slime Plorts. For example, if a Pink Slime eats a Rock Slime plort, it’ll become a Largo (a hybrid that shares qualities of both Slime types). However, if it then eats yet another kind of Slime Plort, that’s when a Tarr Slime forms.
To ensure you don’t accidentally cause Tarr to form on your ranch, ensure you keep your different Slimes and Largo safe within corrals where they can’t get out and mix with other types of Slimes (and their Plorts). This might mean unlocking and purchasing High Walls or an Air Net.
Tarr can also form while you’re out roaming away from your ranchtoo, as wild Slimes will naturally eat other Plorts and become Largo, which are then at greater risk of becoming Tarr. Keep a careful eye out and even dispatch them or run away.
What Do The Tarr Do?
The Tarr are a menace for a few reasons, but the worst is thatthey’ll eat your Slimes and in doing so, replicate themselvesand cause even more trouble on your ranch. They’ll alsoeat your chickens, destroy your crops, and even attack youtoo.
They can quickly ruin your whole ranch, so as soon as you have an outbreak be sure to deal with it swiftly!
How Can You Destroy Tarr?
You cangrab Tarr with your Vacpack and throw them into the sea or an incineratorto destroy them, but theeasiest way to deal with them is to shoot water at them. One splash from your Vacpack will prevent Tarr from replicating, whilerepeatedly hitting it with water will destroy it.
Can You Stop Tarr From Happening In Your Save File?
The only way to permanently stop the Tarr from appearing in your game isto start a save file on Casual Mode, which offers more relaxed game play without Tarr Slimes.
There appears to be no way to change your Game Mode once you have started a game, so choose carefully when starting your save file.
