Phase lemons are a useful but tricky fruit in the game Slime Rancher. To harvest the lemons, you need to shoot them with other fruit matter. The trick is to find them, since phase lemons fade in and out throughout the Ancient Ruins. Once you have a phase lemon, though, you can plant it in your garden and grow it to feed your quantum slimes.

    • Phosphors
    • Rocks
    • Honeys
    • Booms

Finding and Obtaining Phase Lemons

  1. Phase lemon trees will pop up in different areas throughout the Ruins. The trees don’t stay in one place for a long time, so there is no set location you can expect to find them. You will need to travel around the Ancient Ruins to find them. [4]
    • There are a total of 27 locations across the Ancient Ruins where a phase lemon tree may appear. However, no more than 10 trees will be present at any given moment during gameplay.
  2. To harvest phase lemons, you need to find a tree that has visible but somewhat translucent fruits. Phase lemon trees are incorporeal and will have squat trunks as well as round, bushy canopies. The trees will have a few to several yellow lemons hanging off of them. [5]
    • The lemons look similar to the ones you normally find in a grocery store. There are typically multiple lemons on a tree.
  3. In addition to on the tree, you can find phase lemons in crates throughout the Ruins. Check crates throughout the area to see if they may contain a lemon. [6]
  4. To collect phase lemons from the Ancient Ruins, you need to pass fruit matter through them. This process removes the fruit from the game reality and phases in a lemon in its place. [7]
    • You can shoot any fruit at a phase lemon except for another phase lemon.
    • Phase lemons have a maximum harvest of 20.

Using Phase Lemons

  1. Quantum slimes prefer eating phase lemons. If you have a phase lemon, you can plant it in your garden’s depositor. This will allow you to grow a phase lemon tree of your own. [8]
    • A phase lemon tree planted in your garden will act like a normal fruit tree. You won’t need to phase the lemons into existence. You can harvest them like normal fruit.
  2. Quantum slimes will only eat fruit, and greatly prefer phase lemons. As you harvest phase lemons from your garden, you can feed them to any quantum slimes you may have. [9]
  3. Since phase lemons have a maximum harvest, it can be worth storing the lemons for later replanting. If you have a silo or warp depot nearby, you can deposit a couple lemons for later replanting after you’ve reached your maximum harvest. [10]
    • Like other fruits, phase lemons will rot, so it’s not worth storing them at the beginning of your harvest.
