Players hoping toDigivolve their Ultimate Digimon into their Mega formswill need to get their hands on a special evolution item known as an Ultimate Enlightenment Slab. Players will get a few of these as part of the main story, but the most reliable way to obtain them in volume is through Digimon negotiations. GranKuwagamon is one of several Digimon who holds the rare slab, making it a great Digimon to run into in battle.

How to Befriend GranKuwagamon in Digimon Survive

As is the case with a lot of the other Mega Digimon inDigimon Survive, it’s not always possible to completely fill the bar above GranKuwagamon’s head during a conversation. This is because players will only be able to fill one segment at best when responding to a particular action, potentially making any mistakes a lot more costly. With this in mind, players should pay close attention to the answers they’re selecting whentrying to befriend the Digimon.

GranKuwagamon is a Monster Digimon and thus shares the same set of questions and statements asthe Spider Digimon Dokugumon. Its best responses aren’t all the same, however, so players will need to approach the negotiation a little differently. It’s also a lot more volatile, so players should look to defuse the situation where possible. For those who are really struggling, a list of the best GranKuwagamon responses can be found in the table below.

Where to Find GranKuwagamon in Digimon Survive
