Are you struggling to get your paws on Stray plants for a certain plant-collecting robot?

While you’ll spend quite a bit of time locating weird, forgotten, or misplaced things in Stray (or maybe just trying to grab everyStray trophyyou can), some of them are a bit harder to run down than others. I got stuck on a couple of theStray energy drinksthat evaded my feline wiles, though I eventually found them with a little bit of help. And don’t even ask me how long it took to figure out how to get past the paint-slinging robots to get myStray ponchoand keep my whiskers exploring new areas.

Thankfully, I found there were lots of tips to help meow-t when I needed them most while progressing through the streets of the cyberpunk future. If you find yourself wasting one of your nine lives trying to find everything you need, try to shake off the sleepiness from yourwell-deserved cat napand get looking for those rare plants before they grow out of reach.

Stray plants: Where to find Malo

Stray plants: Where to find Malo

Wandering the streets of Stray will introduce you to a variety of characters – many of them robots – and among them is a rare plant-collecting robot named Malo. Located in Antvillage, you’ll have to find Zbaltazar first and have a chat with him in order to progress your story. He’s looking all zen with a bunch of screens around, so he shouldn’t be too difficult to pick out. He’ll stop you before you get too far past him anyways.

Once you’ve spoken with him you’ll be able to find Malo on the level above Zbaltazar, right near the top of the structure. All the plants they have around will be a dead giveaway. It doesn’t make any difference if you talk to Malo first, or get the plants first, so feel free to chase whatever yarn you’d prefer.
