Evolution in Digimon Survive is remarkably straightforward compared to other Digimon games. Rather than grinding experience points or micromanaging stats, evolution for recruited Digimon is handled through Enlightenment Slabs—special items that instantly trigger a Digivolution. If you’re looking to evolve all of your recruited Digimon, you’ll need a good supply of these slabs. This guide will cover where and how to farm all three types of Enlightenment Slabs: Mature, Perfect, and Ultimate Enlightenment Slabs.

Mature Enlightenment Slabs (Rookie → Champion)

Mature Enlightenment Slabs are required to evolve rookie Digimon into champions. While they are the first evolution item introduced in the game, they are surprisingly scarce early on. Here’s where to find them:

Early-Game Sources

• Chapter 2: Fangmon Battle – After your first encounter with Fangmon (where the objective is to survive three attacks), Fangmon will begin to reappear in battles whenever you enter an area without an exclamation mark. You can get two to three Mature Enlightenment Slabs before Fangmon stops appearing.

Best Farming Method (Chapter 6+)

• Chapter 6: Shadow Battles – Once free movement is available at the start of the chapter, scan the environment with your phone to reveal hidden enemies. If you encounter a Renamon, Kyubimon, and Leomon trio, focus on talking to Leomon. If you successfully befriend him (correct answers required), he will always reward you with a Mature Enlightenment Slab.
• Other Late-Game Sources (Chapter 10+) – The following Digimon also drop Mature Enlightenment Slabswhen asked for items:
  • Dobermon
  • Kuwagamon
  • Garurumon
  • Kabuterimon

Since Leomon runs away after giving you an item, you don’t have to battle him repeatedly. Keep scanning and re-engaging with shadow fights to farm slabs effectively.

Perfect Enlightenment Slabs (Champion → Ultimate)

Perfect Enlightenment Slabs evolve champion Digimon into ultimates. These are the most common evolution items in Digimon Survive, and you will likely accumulate a decent stockpile just by playing normally.

Best Farming Method (Chapter 5+)

• Shadow and Free Battles:
  • Zudomon is one of the earliest and most reliable sources for these slabs.
  • Other early Ultimate-level Digimon such as Jesmon, MagnaAngemon, and Monzaemon also reward Perfect Enlightenment Slabs when you request items from them.
  • MetalGreymon joins this pool later in the game as a frequent source.

Bonus Slabs from Partner Digimon

• Each time your partner Digimon (excluding Agumon) unlocks their Ultimate form, the game rewards you with one Perfect Enlightenment Slab. Since multiple partner Digimon evolve into Ultimates throughout the game, this provides a steady influx of slabs without farming.

Even if you don’t actively farm, you’ll likely have around 20+ Perfect Enlightenment Slabs by the end of the game.

Ultimate Enlightenment Slabs (Ultimate → Mega)

Ultimate Enlightenment Slabs evolve ultimate Digimon into mega Digimon. These are the rarest of the three slab types, and while they appear as early as Chapter 10, large-scale farming only becomes viable in Chapter 11+.

Best Farming Method (Chapter 11+)

• The following Mega-level Digimon drop Ultimate Enlightenment Slabs when asked for items:
  • WarGreymon
  • HerculesKabuterimon
  • GranKuwagamon
  • MarineAngemon
  • Piedmon

These Digimon appear in shadow battles and free battles late in the game. Since convincing Mega Digimon to join you has very low success rates (Virus Mega Digimon have a ~20% recruit rate, while Vaccine Megas have a mere 7%), it’s often easier to farm slabs and evolve your existing Ultimate Digimon instead.

Bonus Slabs from Partner Digimon

• Just like with Perfect Enlightenment Slabs, when your partner Digimon unlock their Mega forms, the game rewards you with Ultimate Enlightenment Slabs. By the time you reach the late game, you’ll likely need 25+ Ultimate Enlightenment Slabs to evolve all available Digimon.

Final Thoughts

If you want to unlock every Digivolution path in Digimon Survive, farming Enlightenment Slabs is a must. Here’s a quick recap of the best farming methods:

• Mature Enlightenment Slabs: Farm Leomon in Chapter 6+ shadow battles.
• Perfect Enlightenment Slabs: Obtain from Zudomon, MetalGreymon, and other Ultimate-level Digimon in free battles.
• Ultimate Enlightenment Slabs: Farm Mega-level Digimon in Chapter 11+ (WarGreymon, HerculesKabuterimon, etc.).

By efficiently farming these slabs, you’ll be able to evolve every Digimon in your roster without worrying about low recruitment rates. Good luck, and happy hunting!
