Halfway digimon surviveIn the story, you will need to start strengthening your team with the Digimon found in Free Battles to meet the challenge of subsequent battles encountered during the story. A useful Digimon that you can acquire as soon as part 4 of the game is Guardromona huge mechanical beast with a powerful punch.
Like other Digimon encountered in Survive, there are two methods for including Guardromon in your team: you can evolve an existing Digimon using Enlightenment Slabs or recruit Guardromon on your team using the speak command and persuading them after finding one in Free Battle. Whichever way you choose to get yours, it will be a useful addition to your kit.
How to get Guardromon from Evolution
To get Guardromon through evolution, you will first need a gotsumon. Gotsumon is one of the first Digimon you can get, available as a high-frequency spawner in Free Battle Areas from as early as Part 2 of the game. If you need to recruit a Gotsumon, you can read our guide on How to Get Gotsumon.
After getting a Gotsumonyou’ll have to use a lighting slab to evolve them into a Guardromon. You can also choose to turn them into a dokugumon or Numemon, but since these other Digimon can be easily obtained separately, Guardromon is the best option.
Where to find Guardromon
Guardromon can only be obtained after progressing most of the way through Part 4 of the game. First you will need to get to the abandoned area of the amusement park, and then you must progress to the point in the story where Miu is hiding.
The invasion will occur shortly after talking to all possible characters in these new areas. After this, new Digimon will appear in the Free Battle Area, including Guardromon, who will appear at a relatively high frequency from this point on.
To enter an encounter with Guardromon, you will simply have to enter the Free battle area that appears near the abandoned area of the amusement park in Part 4 after the aforementioned story beat. Guardromon is one of several Digimon that can appear in this area, but they are not as rare as Angemon or Gatomon, which can be found at the beginning of the chapter.
Above the description of the free battle area, you will see Digimon portraits. These are the Digimon that are guaranteed to appear in the next free battle. For this to change, you must either complete the current free battle or progress through the story and return to this area to ‘update’ it.
How to get Guardromon to join your team
Once you enter a free battle against Guardromonyou can use the ‘speak‘ command and find Guardromon in the enemies tab to start a conversation with them. He will be given a series of statements and questions, to which he must respond appropriately to increase the indicator that will appear above his head.
Each correct answer you give will increase this indicator by one or two bars.. You will need at least three bars to have a chance to ask Guardromon to be your friend.
To appease Guardromon, you will need to give answers that indicate a direct and logical mindset. They don’t mind if you get rightly upset about things, but they also seem to appreciate a logical answer to some of their questions. If you’re not sure what to say to win them over, here are the best answers for each question:
| Immediate | Best answer |
|---|---|
| How do you like the clouds in the sky? | I want to ride one! |
| Is wishing for quiet time for oneself a crime? | Yes, what a shame for you! |
| I’d like to avoid a pointless battle, if possible… | And yet we must fight. |
| If your friend was causing problems, how would you solve it? | with my fists. |
| Sometimes you should act on emotion instead of logic, don’t you think? | Efficiency is key. |
| Seeing innocent monsters really eases your heart, doesn’t it? | No, not to me. |
| What would you do if someone told you an idea that you think is wrong? | Get annoyed! |
After answering three questions successfully, you will be given a chance: you can ask Guardromon if he wants to be your friend, or ask him for an item. If you ask them for an item, they will drop a big bandage. If you ask to be their friend, there is a percentage chance that they will join your team after the end of the battle. The chance for them to join you will be displayed in the corner when they ask what you want.
If you fail the roll to get Guardromon, you can simply try again by restarting the battle from the pause menu and then repeating the question and answer phase until you get a chance to ask them again. After establishing a friendship, Guardromon will become part of your team.
