Where to find the two parents

Croajiro Noct is the child, so the map shows what you actually have to go and get. Every mapped Bushi Noct point is drawn, with the densest Croajiro patch pinned beside it. Bushi Noct is the gate on this route and it is not a rare Pal.

The route
1Catch a Croajiro firstOne hundred and sixty seven mapped points from level 4, with 64 in the densest patch. It is pure Water, and it is the free half of the pair by a wide margin.64 points at [-462, 156]
2Catch a Bushi Noct at level 46Two thousand and twenty three mapped points from level 46, the largest population of any parent on these pages. It is Fire and Dark, so Water answers the Fire half and Dragon the Dark half.237 points at [-1243, -1199]
3Put the pair in togetherCroajiro with Bushi Noct gives Croajiro Noct every time, and it is the only cross-species combination that does. Two Croajiro Noct also breed into more of themselves rather than reverting.100 percent result, no rerolling
4Hatch it and farm Venom Glands with itEvery catch drops 2 to 4 Venom Glands at 100 percent. The egg carries the level and passives you bred for, which no rod and no Feybreak hunt will give you.Venom Gland 2 to 4 per catch

Other ways in

4 alternatives checked against the breeding route
FishingLower level
Two pools at weight 94

The Sakurajima dungeon pool and the H Common pool both hold it at a weight of 94 between levels 40 and 45, at Difficult rod difficulty. That is about five levels under the breeding route, and the trade is that you take whatever level and passives the pool gives you.

WildLater
It is not fishing only

449 mapped points sit in Feybreak at levels 61 and 62, in three clusters at [-1014, -1188], [-1203, -1197] and [-1057, -994]. The largest wild population in this part of the deck, and the most expensive way in.

Egg hatchCoin flip
Large and Huge Damp Eggs

The Tenraku common route pool holds only 2 outcomes, so a Large Damp Egg from there is a coin flip. The Huge Damp Egg version has 3 outcomes and carries the alpha flag.

Camp squadBy accident
Two Ninja camps post one each

One Ninja camp fields it on a second floor and another outside the main building, one Pal each. There is no fixed level for a camp squad Pal, since it appears during a raid rather than as a standing spawn.

◆Every route to this Pal is late game, which is why the ordering matters. Breeding reaches it at 46, fishing at 40 to 45 with no control over the result, and the Feybreak population not until 61.
◆Guides that call this a fishing-only Pal are out of date. It has 449 mapped wild points in Feybreak at levels 61 to 62, the largest wild population of anything in this part of the Paldeck.
◆Croajiro Noct is nocturnal, but not one of its 449 spawn points is marked night-only. Waiting for dark will not change what you find.
Why bother
Croajiro Noct drops 2 to 4 Venom Glands on every single catch, which turns a farming route into a supply line rather than a chore. It is also a Handiwork 2 worker and its Shadow Stance skill launches you into the air while raising your Dark weak point damage by 25 percent.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What two Pals make Croajiro Noct?

Croajiro and Bushi Noct, the only cross-species pair in the game that produces one. Two Croajiro Noct breed into another Croajiro Noct rather than reverting to a plain Croajiro.

What level is Croajiro Noct?

Every wild point is 61 or 62. The fishing pools hold it at 40 to 45, with rare pools reaching 46 to 48, and breeding is the only route where you set the level yourself.

Is Croajiro Noct fishing only?

No. It has 449 mapped spawn points in the Feybreak region at levels 61 and 62, plus one breeding pair and eleven fishing spots. Fishing is one route of three.

Do you have to hunt Croajiro Noct at night?

No. It is nocturnal, but none of its 449 spawn points is marked night-only, so the Feybreak clusters are there in daylight too.

Is Croajiro Noct a good Venom Gland farm?

It is one of the best. Every catch drops 2 to 4 Venom Glands at 100 percent, alongside Aquatic Pal Fluids, with Cloth on a quarter of them.
