In the MMO Temtem, you have to catch and train monsters. Similar to Pokémon, a level system is used. Here are some tips on how to train your Temtem quickly.
What is the point of leveling in Temtem? In Temtem, you can strengthen your monsters by training them. With each level, the stats of the many different Temtem improve. However, this is not the only purpose of leveling.
As in Pokémon, many Temtem have further evolution stages that you can reach through leveling up. However, unlike Pokémon, there are no fixed levels at which your Temtem evolve. Temtem require a certain number of level-ups in your possession to evolve.
This means: A Platypet, for example, needs 20 additional levels to evolve into Platox. It does not matter at what level the Platypet was originally.
To help you quickly strengthen and evolve your Temtem, we have some tips for you.
1. Choose a Challenge
The right opponent is so important: Basically, your Temtem improve mainly in battle. This means: The more fights your Temtem win, the faster they level up.
However, it is important that you do not let your Temtem fight against just anyone. Because: The higher the challenge, the greater the XP gain.
So, when leveling up, primarily look for opponents that are at least the same level as the Temtem you want to improve. It goes even faster if the opponent has a slightly higher level – and even faster, the greater the level difference is.
The problem is that especially strong opponents will wipe the floor with your Temtem if there is too much of a level difference. However, if you choose the right types and focus on synergies, even weak Temtem can endure in battle for a long time.
This task is somewhat harder, but it is definitely worth it regarding the training effect compared to simply defeating rows of weak opponents.
Use Dojo Opponents: A particularly strong challenge comes from the Dojo opponents. They are often the ones that make leveling up necessary. However, if you consistently fail against the same opponent, it can still be worthwhile to continue facing him in the Dojo rather than training outside of it.
Because challenges like these can give you the necessary XP – but only if you don’t go down right after the first attack. So weigh how much benefit a tough fight can bring you before you go back into the wild to continue training.

2. Use the Right Items
These items will help you: In the game, there are many items, two of which can particularly help you level up. The first is the Cowards Cloak or Coward’s Cloak.
It works similarly to the XP Share from the Pokémon games. You equip one of your Temtem with the cloak. Now, it also receives a share of the XP from every battle you complete – even if it does not participate in the fight.
This way, you can level up weak Temtem that would quickly go down in battle without having to send them into battle. How to obtain the Cowards Cloak can be found out here:
How Lure helps you: The second item for leveling is the item “Lure,” which you get from Tarlae in Omninesia. This is a bait that you can give to your Temtem to hold. The effect: Wild Temtem will only attack the monster holding the bait. You can use this to your advantage.
Because if you give Lure to one of your strong Temtem, all attacks will target it. If you place a weaker Temtem next to it, this one can participate in the fight without the risk of being defeated immediately, even when fighting stronger Temtem. In the end, it can grab a lot of XP at the end of the battle as long as your stronger Temtem can withstand the opponent’s attacks.
If you use Temtem like Nessla, which have self-healing abilities, you can utilize Lure even better.
3. Use the Level Cap in the Right Places
Who is this method for? This method is aimed primarily at players who have already completed the story and are primarily working on improving their Temtem. Here, Temtem are used that have already reached the maximum level.
Where is the Level Cap? In the currently ongoing Early Access, the maximum level is 48. Temtem at this level no longer gain XP in battle – monsters that you send into battle with them do, however.
This place is worth leveling up: In Temtem, there are some places suitable for level farming. However, the YouTuber “TheGamePiece” has found one that seems particularly worthwhile.
You need to start the quest “Cultist Hunt” in the west of Tucmas. Then head over to the east side of the map, where you will encounter several cultists that you must defeat with Crystal Temtem.
After completing the quest, you can enter an area where you will encounter wild, very strong Zenoreth. The trick: These monsters primarily use the attack “Madness Buff,” which improves their stats but also drains their health. In double battles, they also hinder each other.
So here you have the chance to defeat strong opponents without the risk of going down in battle. You can also see exactly how this works in the video from “TheGamePiece”:
With Lure and Cowards Cloak, you can extract even more XP here – depending on which Temtem you use.
By the way, besides the levels, there are also other stats to keep an eye on:
