Steal an Egg has several tricks that can make boss fights and rare egg hunting much easier. Some of the methods discussed here rely on game mechanics or glitches that may be fixed in a future update, so they may not work forever.
These tricks include temporarily getting bosses stuck, quickly reaching the final area, farming Dr. Scramble for a chance at a Divine, and using server hopping to find active boss portals. There are also a few farming methods that can help you get more rewards while playing normally.
How to Glitch Bosses at the Final Gate
One of the simpler tricks involves stealing an egg from a boss and moving toward the final gate. Before reaching the gate, drop the egg and position yourself so the boss charges toward you. If the timing works, the boss can become knocked over or stuck for around 10 to 20 seconds. This gives you a short window where the boss cannot properly chase you. The basic method is:
- Steal an egg from a boss.
- Move toward the final gate.
- Drop the egg before reaching the gate.
- Let the boss charge toward you.
- Try to position the boss near the gate.
- If the glitch activates, the boss should become stuck temporarily.
- Quickly use the opening to steal the egg.
This can be especially useful when dealing with larger eggs that are difficult to steal because of their size or movement speed.
Secret Room Teleport Trick
Another useful method involves the secret room. The trick takes advantage of the transition between night and daytime.
Enter the secret room and stay inside while waiting for the game to become daytime again. Once morning arrives, jump out of the room.
If the trick still works, you should be sent back to the final area immediately. This can save a lot of time when you are waiting for valuable eggs to appear there.
For example, if a Divine egg spawns in the final area while you are inside the secret room, this method can potentially put you back in the area quickly enough to try stealing it before other players arrive.
Boss Portal Glitch
The boss portal provides another way to interfere with boss movement. When the portal appears, steal an egg and position yourself around the portal.
Depending on your position and the boss’s movement, the boss can become stuck for several seconds. You can try standing in front of or behind the portal and moving around the area until the boss gets caught.
Once the boss is stuck, you have a better opportunity to steal the egg without having to deal with constant attacks.
This method can be useful against different bosses and in different areas. However, the boss portal is only available for a limited period, so you need to act quickly when it appears.
How to Get a Free Divine From Dr. Scramble
Dr. Scramble is also worth farming because the boss has a chance to drop a Divine animal. According to the information provided by the game’s developer, defeating Dr. Scramble normally rewards 1,750 samples, but there is also a very rare chance to receive the Mecha Scramble animal.
Mecha Scramble is a Divine, making the boss worth farming even if you are not specifically looking for samples.
The important part is that the Divine drop is based on chance. You may defeat Dr. Scramble many times without getting it, so do not expect the reward after a specific number of kills.
How to Farm Dr. Scramble With Server Hopping
You can speed up boss farming by switching between servers. After defeating Dr. Scramble in one server, open the Steal an Egg server list and look for servers with fewer players.
Join another server and check whether the boss portal is still active. If the players in that server have not defeated the boss yet, you may be able to fight Dr. Scramble again.
The process is simple:
- Defeat Dr. Scramble.
- Collect your rewards.
- Open the Steal an Egg server list.
- Sort or look for servers with fewer players.
- Join another server.
- Check whether the boss portal is still active.
- Defeat the boss again.
- Repeat the process.
The boss may already have been defeated when you join a new server, so this method is not guaranteed to work every time.
How to Find Nearly Empty Servers
If you do not have a private server, you can look for servers with very few players. Open the Steal an Egg server list and scroll down to servers with the smallest number of players.
Some servers may only have one active player, which can make the game feel similar to having a private server. These servers can be useful for farming because there are fewer players competing for eggs and boss rewards.
However, an empty-looking server does not guarantee that the other player is inactive. Check the server before assuming that you have the entire area to yourself.
Boss Mastery Rewards
Boss farming is useful for more than just Divine drops. Defeating bosses also contributes toward boss mastery, which can provide additional rewards as you reach higher kill counts.
The provided information mentions players reaching an Eternal reward after 100 boss kills. This gives you another reason to keep farming bosses even when the Divine drop refuses to appear.
A simple boss farming routine can therefore provide several benefits at once:
- Boss samples
- A chance at a Divine drop
- Boss mastery progress
- Potential Eternal rewards
- Other boss-related drops
Use Scrambled Mutations on Valuable Animals
The Sample Shop also offers Scrambled Mutations, which can significantly increase the value of an animal. According to the example from the source, an animal producing around $8 billion per second increased to roughly $50 billion per second after receiving the Scrambled Mutation.
The exact value increase depends on the animal and the mutation, so results can vary. If you already have a strong Secret or Divine animal, checking the available mutation options can be worthwhile.
Do not automatically spend your resources on every animal. Focus on valuable pets where a large increase in income can make a noticeable difference.
Bat Swapping Boss Damage Trick
Another combat trick involves switching between different bats while fighting a boss. The method requires having multiple bats available.
During the fight, switch between two bats while attacking the boss. According to the method described, this can increase your damage output and make boss kills faster.
The basic idea is:
- Equip one bat.
- Attack the boss.
- Switch to another bat.
- Continue attacking.
- Keep swapping between the available bats.
The effectiveness of this trick can depend on the current game version, so it may change after future updates.
Tall Avatar Egg Glitch
Another method involves using a very tall avatar to reach certain positions that normal avatars cannot easily access. The original method uses a tall, thin avatar bundle to attempt to climb onto a specific block around Cherry Blossom.
From there, the player can potentially move through an unusual position and interfere with the boss’s movement.
However, this method appeared inconsistent in the source and may already have been patched. The creator was unable to reproduce it reliably, even after changing the avatar settings.
Because of that, you should not purchase an avatar bundle specifically for this glitch. If you already own a suitable tall avatar, you can test whether the method still works in the current version of Steal an Egg.
Which Methods Are Worth Trying?
The most practical methods are the ones that do not require purchasing anything. Boss farming, server hopping, and using the secret room trick can all be attempted without spending additional Robux.
For rare Divine hunting, farming Dr. Scramble and switching servers can give you more opportunities to fight the boss. Meanwhile, the boss-stunning tricks can help when you are trying to steal difficult eggs.
Keep in mind that glitches can disappear at any time. A game update can change boss movement, teleport behavior, avatar collision, or other mechanics used by these tricks.
Steal an Egg has several interesting tricks that can make egg stealing and boss farming easier. Temporary boss-stunning methods can give you a few extra seconds to grab an egg, while the secret room trick can help you return to the final area faster.
For players looking for a Divine, Dr. Scramble is another important target because it has a rare chance to drop Mecha Scramble. Server hopping can give you more chances to find an active boss portal.
Some methods, especially the tall avatar glitch, may already be inconsistent or patched. If a trick no longer works, focus on the farming methods that still function normally and keep checking future updates for changes.
