Heartopia isn’t just about building a new life—it’s also about enjoying relaxing activities like catching insects. Insect catching has become one of the players’ favorite hobbies because, aside from being calming, it’s also useful for completing Life Log missions and earning extra Gold.

However, not all insects are easy to find. One that often confuses players is the Purple Emperor. This article will fully explain how to get the Purple Emperor in Heartopia so you no longer waste time wandering around without results.

Getting to Know the Purple Emperor in Heartopia

The Purple Emperor is one of the rare butterfly species in Heartopia and is required to complete New Life Log Day 12. In this mission, players must catch a Purple Emperor with a minimum rarity of two stars. The challenge isn’t just its rarity, but also the specific requirements for location, time, weather, and hobby level that must be met.

Many players fail not because of lack of skill, but because they don’t understand the Purple Emperor’s spawn mechanics. Once you know the rules, this insect is actually fairly easy to find.

Mandatory Requirements Before Searching for the Purple Emperor

Before you start hunting, make sure you meet the following important requirements:

1. Insect Catching Level 3: The Purple Emperor cannot be caught if your Insect Catching hobby is below level 3. If you haven’t reached it yet, focus on catching other insects first to level up.
2. Day 12 of the New Life Log: The mission to catch the Purple Emperor appears on Day 12. However, you can still catch it before that day as long as all requirements are met.
3. Insect Net Equipped: Make sure your Insect Net is equipped before searching. Without it, you won’t be able to catch anything.

Purple Emperor Spawn Locations in Heartopia

The Purple Emperor only appears in two specific locations:

• Flower Field
• Whale Mountain

Both locations can be easily accessed using bus stops and the fast travel feature. The Purple Emperor does not spawn anywhere else, so don’t waste time searching in the wrong areas.

Correct Time and Weather Conditions

This is the most crucial factor and is often overlooked by players.

• Spawn Time: The Purple Emperor only appears between 12 PM and 12 AM (from noon to midnight).
• Weather: This insect only spawns during Sunny or Rainbow Weather.

If the weather is rainy or cloudy, it’s best to postpone your search. You can check the current in-game time and weather by tapping the smartwatch icon at the top of the screen.

How to Find and Catch the Purple Emperor

Once you arrive at the correct location with the right time and weather conditions, follow these steps:

1. Equip your Insect Net.
2. Walk slowly around Flower Field or Whale Mountain.
3. Look for a butterfly with bright purple wings—that’s the Purple Emperor.
4. Aim your Insect Net and shoot bubbles at it.
5. Wait until it is successfully caught.

The Purple Emperor is fairly easy to recognize thanks to its striking color, so you don’t need to focus too much on small details.

Tips for Getting a Two-Star Purple Emperor

The hardest part of this mission is obtaining a Purple Emperor with at least two stars. Rarity is random, so there’s no guarantee that every catch will meet the requirement.

Here are some tips you can try:

• Catch as many Purple Emperors as possible under ideal conditions.
• Don’t get frustrated if you only get a one-star version.
• Stay in the area during active spawn hours.
• Make sure your connection is stable to avoid failed catches.

Patience is the key in this part.

At first, the Purple Emperor may seem annoying to obtain, but it’s actually quite easy once you understand the requirements. Make sure your Insect Catching is at level 3, visit Flower Field or Whale Mountain, pay attention to the time between 12 PM and 12 AM, and wait for Sunny or Rainbow weather.

As for rarity, there’s no special trick other than trying repeatedly. With this guide, you’ll be able to complete the Day 12 mission in Heartopia without unnecessary stress. Happy bug hunting!
