Whether it's trudging through the world of Elden Ring, or grinding out raids in Old School Runescape, Laurence is always up for a challenge. However, in real life, his current challenge is learning how to speak Spanish and cooking authentic Mexican cuisine.

Terraria has always had an amazing selection of mounts. Whether it’s bouncing around on a rideable Slime, blasting around in a fancy golf cart, or even charting the galaxy in your very own UFO, players have always had a great time riding around on their very own personal steeds.

And now, with the addition of Patch 1.4.5 and the brilliant crossover with Palworld, we have some brand-new mounts to show off! And these are great for early-game bossing too! What’s not to love?

Terraria: How to Play Skyblock

Slimes are a man's best friend.

But just how do we get Chillet? Today, I’ll show you the best possible method to find this mount as swiftly as possible, and how to use it in battle!

Useful Items to Help You Search

The new Pal Chillet can be found by opening a Huge Dragon Egg, similarly to how you hatch Pals in Palworld. So how can we find this egg? Oddly enough, while you might think this is an entity, like a rare mob, it is, in fact, coded to be an ore instead.

Because of this, we can benefit from 2 very useful items:

Metal Detector
Spelunker Potion

The metal detector can be found by killing the Nymph enemy, found randomly when exploring caves underground. This can take a while to find, but it’s not essential for your search; it’ll just speed it up dramatically.

In addition, the Spelunker Potion will highlight the Egg, so you can mine straight towards it when in the underground darkness.

Kick back and mine in style!

If you can, try to get a relatively fast pickaxe, or grab some items that will boost your mining speed. The new Digtoise Pal is pretty invaluable in this regard, especially if you plan on making a huge Hellevator.

Where to Find a Huge Dragon Egg

As mentioned previously, the egg can only be found in the underground and cavern layers, so you’ll want to start your search there.

You can either make some long vertical shafts in the ground, and fall while looking at the data information on the right-hand side of the screen, or you can simply find some naturally forming caves, under tall trees, in the evil biomes or even around Glowing Mushroom Biomes. The quicker you can search wide open areas, the quicker you’ll spot the egg.

Once you find the Huge Dragon Egg, just mine it with your pickaxe, and it will appear in your inventory. Once opened, you have a 50% chance to get a Blue Chillet and a 50% chance to get a Chillet Ignis.

Using Chillet in Battle

Once you have Chillet, you can equip it in the mount slot of your equipment. Chillet runs pretty fast and even has a dash attack, which you don’t normally unlock until you beat the and get the shield. This dash deals summoning damage and is absolutely invaluable for bossing while freeing up an accessory slot if you don’t want to use a shield.

In addition, your attacks will gain a 10% power boost while mounted on Chillet. Use the invincibility frames granted by the dash attack to phase through enemies without taking damage. With bosses that zoom towards you like the Queen Bee, this can be a fantastic addition to your arsenal.
