How to use Meatballs in My Time at Sandrock: Monster Whisperer


To use a Meatball, equip it on your hot bar and press Q to aim. When you’re ready, press the left mouse click to throw the Meatball.
You can catch monsters by throwing more than one regular Meatball or upping the quality to do fewer throws. As you throw Meatballs, the pink meter above their heads rises. If you don’t fill up their meter quickly, it starts decreasing.
Keep in mind Elite and Boss monsters require higher-quality Meatballs.
