How to Get Void Pearls in Steal an Egg (2026 Guide)

To get Void Pearls in Steal an Egg, you fish for them in the Alien Biome. Equip a fishing rod, cast from the pier beside the Alien Ferryman, and keep catching. Every catch can drop Pearls, and every catch also counts toward the Fishing Milestones track, which hands out thousands more.

The main reason to chase them is the Dark Matter mutation: 1,750 Void Pearls buys one. Below you will find where to fish, what you need first, every milestone reward, and how to farm Pearls faster.

What Are Void Pearls Used For in Steal an Egg?

Void Pearls are the currency of the Alien Biome’s fishing system. The one confirmed spend is the Dark Matter mutation consumable: bring 1,750 Pearls to the Ferryman’s trade-in tab and you get one.

Reports also say Pearls can go toward additional upgrades, but no list of those upgrades has been published. Until one appears, treat Dark Matter as the real goal and don’t plan around anything else.

What Do You Need Before You Can Fish?

You need three things, and the first one stops most players.

• 250B Speed. Fish rejecting your cast with a “too fast” warning usually means you have not reached the Speed requirement yet. One report says the Ferryman hands out a rod from 90B, but most coverage points to 250B, so test your own number before you commit hours of grinding.
• A fishing rod. The Halloween rod works, and the Ferryman supplies a loaner if you have none.
• The Ferryman’s quest. Talk to him and finish his catch-20 task. The trade-in tab and the Alien Lagoon open after that. Our guide on how to unlock the Alien Biome walks through every step, and if you still need a rod, the Haunted Rod guide shows where it comes from.

If you are still climbing toward 250B, finish that first. Pushing in early costs you eggs on the run home, not just fishing time.

How Do You Fish for Void Pearls? Step by Step

The route to the water is long, so equip your rod before you leave. You pass through the Jungle, Snow, Volcano, and Abyss Ocean, then the Wisp area, and finally into the Alien Biome.

1. Equip your fishing rod and head to the Alien Biome.
2. Find the Alien Ferryman beside the purple boat at the water’s edge and press E to talk.
3. Walk onto the wooden pier.
4. At the Hold to Cast prompt, hold the cast input, watch the charge meter, then release toward the water.
5. When a fish bites, click repeatedly to reel it in.

Fishing here works like the Halloween event. If you have played that, you already know the rhythm. The Lagoon uses the same controls, so nothing changes once the Ferryman takes you there.

Fishing Milestones: Every Reward Through 5,000 Catches

This is where most of your Pearls come from. One catch equals one point, and the menu shows your Fish Caught counter plus the next locked reward. Patch notes mention 100 milestones in total, while the list below covers the tiers published through 5,000 catches.

Fish Caught	Reward	Pearl Multiplier
5	50 Void Pearls
10	1 Dark Matter Vexlet (Mythic)
15	100 Void Pearls
30	1 Dark Matter Mutation
50	1 Bloomspire (Mythic)
75	500 Void Pearls
100	1 Xeno Rod	x1.15
150	1 Dark Matter Mutation
200	10-minute Void Pearl Booster
250	1 Dark Matter Bloomspire
300	1,000 Void Pearls
350	15-minute Void Pearl Booster
400	2 Dark Matter Mutations
450	1 Dark Matter Glacigon (Cosmic)
500	2,000 Void Pearls
750	1 Lunar Rod	x1.32
1,000	3 Dark Matter Mutations
1,250	20-minute Void Pearl Booster
1,500	1 Jellynova
1,750	5,000 Void Pearls
2,000	3 Dark Matter Mutations
2,250	1 Void Rod	x1.52
2,500	1 Dark Matter Redmaw (Cosmic)
2,750	30-minute Void Pearl Booster
3,000	10,000 Void Pearls
3,500	5 Dark Matter Mutations
4,000	1 Aurora Stag
4,500	15,000 Void Pearls
5,000	Kraken Rod + Abyssjaw Egg	x1.75 (Kraken Rod)

A quick tally of the table shows the Pearl rewards alone add up to 33,650, and the track also gives 15 free Dark Matter mutations. That is our own math from the list above, so double-check it against your in-game menu.

The practical takeaway: the first Dark Matter mutation costs you only 30 catches, not 1,750 Pearls. Don’t trade Pearls for your first one before you pass that milestone.

Which Rod Gives You the Most Void Pearls?

Better rods multiply the Pearls you fish up, and the milestone track is where you earn them.

Rod	Unlocked At	Pearl Multiplier
Xeno Rod	100 catches	x1.15
Lunar Rod	750 catches	x1.32
Void Rod	2,250 catches	x1.52
Kraken Rod	5,000 catches	x1.75 (strongest alien rod)

The jump from your starting rod to the Xeno Rod comes early, so the first 100 catches are worth pushing through in one sitting.

What Is the Fastest Way to Farm Void Pearls?

There is no shortcut around catches, but a few habits add up.

• Use Void Pearl Boosters on long sessions. Boosters arrive at 200, 350, 1,250, and 2,750 catches and run 10, 15, 20, and 30 minutes. Save them for a stretch when you can actually keep casting. Whether they stack with a rod’s multiplier is not confirmed.
• Fish through the Kraken window. Every 30 minutes a global boss-catching event starts in the Lagoon, and the Divine Nebuloth Kraken is in play. You are casting anyway, so it costs nothing extra to be there.
• Cast from the pier consistently. Moving around between casts wastes time that milestones count.
• Chase relics at the same time. The seven Relics for the gate also come from fishing, so one session covers both goals.

If you are building toward a better pet lineup, our Steal an Egg all pets list shows where the new Alien Planet pets sit, and the Alien Mutation breakdown helps you compare Dark Matter against the UFO-era boost. For the bigger timeline, check the Steal an Egg updates page after each patch.

Common Problems When Fishing for Void Pearls

• “Fish are too fast” warning. Your Speed is below the requirement. Train first.
• No trade-in tab. Finish the Ferryman’s quest. The tab only appears afterward.
• Can’t find a Relic you caught. Check the Gear section of your inventory.
• Cast button does nothing. Re-equip the rod at the water and aim into the pool, not at the ground.

Some of these details may shift after the next update, so confirm anything important in your own Fishing Milestones menu. You can try it yourself right now in Steal an Egg.
