Where pet eggs come from in Iron Soul: Dungeon
Every pet in Iron Soul: Dungeon starts as an egg, and eggs come from a short list of repeatable sources. The how-to-get-pets priority order below is the fastest route for a new account.
- Codes — the fastest egg source. Weekend codes in the IRONSOULWEEKEND series and milestone codes like 200KMEMBERREWARD frequently grant eggs or pet materials. Redeem every active code from the codes page first — it is the cheapest way to start the how-to-get-pets loop because codes cost nothing but a few seconds.
- Dungeon milestone rewards. Clearing dungeons on higher difficulties and hitting milestone thresholds grants eggs alongside ore and vouchers. Starless Forest on Trial is the earliest repeatable source for a brand-new account.
- Season and event rewards. Seasonal events and pass tracks include eggs as tier rewards — the Ragnarok Challenge window is the live one now. The updates page tracks which events are live and what they grant.
The one thing to avoid in any how-to-get-pets plan is buying eggs with Robux early. Free eggs from codes and milestones are enough to establish a pet, and the game passes only speed up an already-free loop.
Hatching and enhancing your Iron Soul: Dungeon pet
Hatching is the first step of the how-to-get-pets process. Open your inventory, select the egg, and hatch it at the hatchery. The hatch reveals the pet and its passive — the stat or loot bonus it grants while equipped. Pets in Iron Soul: Dungeon do not fight; they are passive companions, so the passive is the entire reason to keep one.
Enhancing is the second step. Feed duplicate pets of the same type into the pet you want to keep, and its star level rises. Each star raises the passive strength. The enhancement screen shows the exact duplicate count the next star costs, so you can plan which pets to hold onto instead of discarding.
The practical how-to-get-pets rule: hatch everything you earn, enhance the pet whose passive matches your build, and hold duplicates of that pet. Every other duplicate is safe to feed or discard.
Pet ascension and expeditions in Iron Soul: Dungeon
Two systems decide how fast your pet roster grows in Iron Soul: Dungeon: ascension, which raises a pet’s star level, and expeditions, which turn spare pets into passive income. Community guides for Iron Soul: Dungeon cross-check each other on both.
Ascension in Iron Soul: Dungeon runs through Ali, the NPC to the left of the Dragon’s Grave entrance — open Pet Enhance, pick your pet and switch to the Ascend tab. The cost is a duplicate copy of the exact same pet; a different species cannot be used as fodder, and the duplicate is consumed permanently. Each duplicate adds one star, up to a maximum of six.
Both pet enhancement and ascension in Iron Soul: Dungeon are reported to have a 100% success rate — unlike weapon and armor upgrades, there is no fail state to gamble against. The bottleneck is duplicates, not luck. Community-reported duplicate sources for Iron Soul: Dungeon: the Flame Spirit Pack (1,299 Robux, up to nine purchases) for Phoenix Kitsune copies, S1 Vouchers for repeated 8,000-voucher Icy Dragonets, and Legendary eggs from Torment difficulty in the Abandoned Courtyard.
Expeditions in Iron Soul: Dungeon unlock once you own at least one pet. The community strategy is counterintuitive: build multiplier points past 50–70% instead of sending as many pets as possible, because the multiplier drives loot rarity and egg chances. The trade-off is real — a pet on an expedition cannot fight or be upgraded until it returns.
| System | What it costs | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Ascension | An exact duplicate pet per star (max 6 stars) | A significant star-level power boost |
| Expedition | The pet’s combat slot while it is away | Passive gold plus a chance at pet eggs |
| Abandoned Courtyard | One Cave Ticket; up to four players | Enhancement materials; best egg odds on Torment |
Ascension and expedition details are community-reported for Iron Soul: Dungeon — verify costs in the live menu before spending, and prioritise healing scrolls from the Endless Tower if Abandoned Courtyard runs in Iron Soul: Dungeon are where you keep dying.
Common pet mistakes in Iron Soul: Dungeon
The most common mistake in any Iron Soul: Dungeon pet plan is discarding duplicates before enhancing. Every duplicate of the pet you keep is a star level, and feeding them is the only free way to raise pet power in Iron Soul: Dungeon.
The second mistake is hatching eggs without checking the passive. Pets in Iron Soul: Dungeon are passive companions, so a high-star pet with the wrong passive is worth less than a low-star pet that matches your race and weapon. The how-to-get-pets rule is passive first, stars second — the same rule the Iron Soul: Dungeon tier list uses to rank race and weapon combos.
The third mistake is spending Robux on eggs early. Codes and dungeon milestones in Iron Soul: Dungeon give enough eggs to establish a pet, and the free loop is the one this guide recommends for every new Iron Soul: Dungeon account.

- •Hatch every egg you earn in Iron Soul: Dungeon

Beginners should hatch whatever egg they earn first and focus on enhancing it, because any pet passive beats an empty slot. As you collect more eggs, keep the pet whose passive matches your race and weapon — the tier list and weapons guide cover which passives pair well.

Ascend at Ali, the NPC to the left of the Dragon’s Grave entrance: open Pet Enhance, choose your pet, and switch to the Ascend tab.
