How to Breed Katress Ignis

Put a female Katress with a male Wixen in a Breeding Farm. The genders are not interchangeable: reverse them and the egg hatches into Wixen Noct instead.

Where to find the two parents

Katress Ignis is the child, so the map shows the work you actually have to do: every Katress spawn, the Wixen patch on Sakurajima, and the level 28 Wixen alpha.

The route
1Catch a Katress after darkThe cheap half of the pair, at level 20 across 675 mapped points. 570 of those points are nocturnal-only, so go out at night or you will walk past them.675 points, from level 20
2Take the Wixen alpha at [161, -223]Wixen has only 37 mapped wild points, so the fixed level 28 encounter is the reliable half. Wixen is Fire, which makes Water the answer.Lv 28, one fixed position
3Check both genders before you build anythingThe pair is female Katress with male Wixen. A male Katress and a female Wixen is a valid pair as well, and it produces Wixen Noct, which fills a different Paldeck slot.The only gender-locked pair in the game
4Put the pair in, then hatch and keep themThe egg carries the level and passives the parents pass down, which is the whole reason to breed rather than dive a cave. Leave the pair together and the next egg costs one more Cake.You choose the passives, the cave does not

Every mapped point is inside a cave

There are 15 mapped points at levels 40 to 45, and every one of them is inside the Cherry Blossom Cave on Sakurajima. There is no open ground to walk.

Large Dark Egg from the Bamboo Groves

The Bamboo Groves pool is the narrowest route in: three outcomes on the Large Dark Egg and a single outcome on the Huge Dark Egg, which makes that one a guarantee. Finding the eggs is the hard part.

Two Fire Cult camps

Fire Cult camps 02-01 and 02-02 field one Katress Ignis each, in the third floor corridor and the south west tower. No level is listed for either encounter, so treat this as something that happens to you.

Different PalSeparate
Wixen Noct is the same pair reversed

Male Katress with female Wixen produces Wixen Noct, Paldeck 78B. It is a different Pal in a different slot, and getting it by accident is the most common way this breed goes wrong.

Paldeck 78BGenders reversedHow to get Wixen Noct
Gender is checked on the parents, not the egg. If you put the pair in and the egg hatches into a Wixen Noct, you had the male Katress, and no amount of rerolling fixes that.
The plus one Kindling from Blazing Black Magic does not stack. A second Katress Ignis at the same base adds its own Kindling 3 and nothing else.
Only two pairs in the whole game produce this Pal, and one of them is two Katress Ignis. There is no second combination to fall back on.
Why bother
Katress Ignis is a base Pal first. Its partner skill, Blazing Black Magic, adds 1 Kindling level to every other Base Pal, so a furnace line staffed with Kindling 2 workers quietly becomes a Kindling 3 line. It also carries Kindling 3, Handiwork 3 and Medicine Production 3 itself.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What two Pals make Katress Ignis?

A female Katress and a male Wixen. This is the only pair in the game where gender decides the result: the same two species with the genders swapped give Wixen Noct.

Can you catch Katress Ignis in the wild?

Only underground. All 15 of its mapped points are inside the Cherry Blossom Cave on Sakurajima, at levels 40 to 45, with a Boss rank alpha at 51 to 52.

What level do I need to breed one?

Enough to handle a level 23 Wixen, or its level 28 alpha. Katress opens at level 20, so the Wixen half is the gate, and both parents are ordinary main island Pals.

What is Katress Ignis weak to?

It is Dark and Fire, so Dragon answers the Dark half and Water answers the Fire half. Water is the safer pick because it also blunts the burn its attacks apply.

Is Katress Ignis worth breeding?

For a base, yes. Its partner skill raises Kindling by one level for every other Base Pal, which is the cheapest way to push a furnace line up a tier without recatching anything.
