NEON ABYSS
Neon Abyss 2 Hatchmon
Collect eggs, clear combat rooms to hatch them, and walk over unconscious Hatchmon to revive them. Specific groups of four minis automatically evolve into Super Hatchmon.
The recipes and Agapeism steps below come from TheGamer’s July 19, 2025 Steam EA guide. They are useful historical instructions, not a complete verified 1.0 evolution chart.
Collect, Hatch and Revive
Eggs can come from breakable objects, room rewards, Chests and Temple purchases. Hatching can fail; the EA average of three to four rooms is not a guaranteed timer. Elise’s Kiddy is a special non-evolving companion.
- Collect an egg and clear enemy rooms to advance hatching.
- Check the hatch notification and the resulting mini’s color.
- During combat, walk over an unconscious Hatchmon to revive it.
- Open the menu Hatchmon tab and its Booklet to see the combinations available in your build.
The Five Mini Colors
| Mini | EA egg color |
|---|---|
| Pinky | Pink eggs |
| Tealy | Blue eggs |
| Ivory | Yellow eggs |
| Purply | Purple eggs |
| Limey | Green eggs |
EA Evolution Recipes and Build Roles
Each recipe below totals four minis. The guide describes evolution as automatic once a valid combination exists; a Color Changing Machine can alter a mini’s color for coins. Malformed source rows totaling two or five are excluded, not silently corrected.
| Super Hatchmon | Required minis | Mechanic / build role |
|---|---|---|
| Quartzie | 3 Pinky + 1 Limey | Repeats a used Curio without another resource payment |
| Cloudie | 3 Purply + 1 Limey | Adds a jump and can create Jump Marks during combat |
| Devotie | 3 Tealy + 1 Pinky | Prevents the damage cost of changing Faith at the Pillar |
| Vitalie | 3 Purply + 1 Tealy | Consumes hearts to charge protection against a lethal hit |
Get More Hatches Through Agapeism
The EA guide unlocks Agapeism on the second evolution-tree page after completing the first. Choose it at the floor’s Pillar of Faith; collecting or hatching eggs builds its Faith. At full Faith, the Pillar or a Teleporter reaches its Temple, where the central machine hatches multiple pets. The Temple disappears after leaving; choose the path again on the next floor.
Choose an Evolution for the Mechanic
Quartzie fits repeated Curio use, Cloudie fits jumping and Jump Marks, and Devotie supports changing Faith without its damage cost. These are mechanic-based recommendations, not measured DPS grades. Lovely Legion can turn eggs into Shields according to 1.0 notes; check that trade-off before assuming those eggs will all hatch.
Evolution Chart Scope
The EA guide supplies valid four-mini examples and the Booklet is the in-game place to check combinations. A complete 1.0 chart and numeric evolution values are not published in the checked sources, so the page gives a usable recipe method without presenting the EA examples as a full current database.
| Question | Answer boundary |
|---|---|
| Valid example | 3 Pinky + 1 Limey = Quartzie |
| Evolution trigger | A valid group of four evolves automatically according to the EA guide |
| Color changes | Color Changing Machine changes a mini for coins |
| Current-build check | Use the Hatchmon Booklet before spending eggs |
| 1.0 completeness | Full chart and numeric values not established by the checked sources |
Questions this page answers
How do Hatchmon evolve?
The EA guide says a specific group of four minis evolves automatically. For example, three Pinky plus one Limey forms Quartzie. Check the Hatchmon Booklet for the recipe shown by your current build.
Do I need ten Hatchmon to unlock Hermes?
No. Fatal Carnival says defeating Hyperion unlocks Hermes, entered through the green Safehouse portal. Wonder Flow requires at least ten Hatchmon when defeating Hermes to proceed on the Dark Aphrodite challenge route.
