Sword Hunter Pet Hatching: How to Hatch Eggs, Hatch Times, and Egg Sources

Quick answer

Pet hatching in Sword Hunter is the egg-based way to get a pet: you get an egg, start the hatch from the egg, wait out a countdown, then claim the pet. Hatching needs no purchase — the game's own store description lists hatching and collecting powerful Pets as a feature, and player guides note that a fox or wolf is not a paid requirement. A hatched pet is extra power and company while you farm cash for the next merge.

• Pets come from two places — eggs you hatch and creatures you catch in the world. To hatch one, stay on the egg path: get an egg, start the hatch, wait, claim.
• Recorded hatch waits differ by egg: a 10-second countdown on an early slime egg versus roughly 10 minutes to open a golden egg.
• Eggs come from monster drops, redeemable codes, and a group gift box that grants a free rainbow egg.
• The only published hatch chance is Phoenix at 0.01%, a third-party-reported figure.

How to hatch an egg in Sword Hunter

Redeem steps

• Get an egg first

  Eggs come from monster drops, redeemable codes, or the group gift box (all covered below). Recorded gameplay shows the prompt 'attack to get egg,' with early slimes dropping one.

• Start the hatch from the egg itself

  Sportskeeda describes the mechanic as placement: Pet Eggs can be placed into incubators, where they gestate until they are ready to hatch. In recorded gameplay, the egg item prompts the player to go hatch it, and the hatch is started by selecting the egg.

• Wait out the hatch timer, then claim

  Recorded hatches show a short countdown — a 10-second wait on one egg — before the player claims the hatched pet. Sportskeeda: once the egg is ready, you can claim the hatched pet.

• Hatch in a safe spot

  The hatch-pets guide's routine begins: redeem live egg codes, then hatch Fox and Rainbow Eggs in a safe spot rather than mid-fight.

On where hatching happens: the only named hatching place in player-shared guides is a screenshot caption referencing an "egg cave where hunters hatch pets," but recorded gameplay shows hatching initiated from the egg item itself. Treat the egg cave as unconfirmed — start the hatch from your egg, wherever you are standing safely.

Comparison

Comparison

Egg observed	Reported hatch wait	Skip / unlock
Egg dropped by early slimes	A 10-second countdown ('we need to wait 10 seconds for it to hatch')	A 9-Robux offer to 'hatch this egg quickly' appeared and was declined in recorded play
Golden egg	'Takes like 10 minutes... 10 minutes to actually open an egg'	'You got to unlock that' — the unlock requirement is not explained

Both rows are individual player recordings with approximate caption timing (including "Nine Robuck" for nine Robux), so treat the numbers as approximate and unconfirmed by the developer. Hatch waits clearly vary by egg — check the timer on your own egg in-game. The golden egg requires some kind of unlock, but nothing specifies what triggers it yet.

Where eggs come from

You need an egg in inventory before you can hatch. Eggs come from three places: monster drops, redeemable codes, and a world gift box tied to group perks. Guides also note that typical early-session code rewards include eggs, and that a Fox Egg belongs to the first hour if one is live.

Monster drops. Attacking early monsters drops eggs: recorded play shows 'attack to get an egg' with slimes finally dropping one, and 'attack to get egg... we got egg' on another run.

Group gift. A gift box in the world grants a free rainbow egg for liking the game, favoriting the game, and joining the group.

Code rewards rotate and trackers currently disagree on several egg names, so the reward you receive may differ depending on the game version. Codes can expire after an update or a likes goal — redeem them in-game and check the result before relying on any single list.

Hatch odds: only the Phoenix figure is published

The only hatch chance published for Sword Hunter is the Phoenix. Swordhunter.wiki's hatch-pets guide lists Phoenix at 0.01% — the rare hunt — and tells readers to treat it as a long-term goal, not a guaranteed hatch from one Rainbow Egg. The same site's co-op guide repeats that Phoenix is a 0.01% showcase hunt and adds an ownership rule: even if you see someone else's showcase pet, you still have to hatch or catch it on your own account later. Hatching is generally chance-based — an egg gives you a chance to hatch a pet — but no published percentages exist for Fox, Frog, Gold Wolf, or Rainbow Eggs, so judge those odds by your own hatches in-game.

What you can hatch

Checklist

• Fox Egg → orange fox

  The hatch-pets roster lists the orange fox as the 'Fox Egg result. A first-hour pet if a code is live.'

• Rainbow Egg → a random pet

  Sportskeeda's code description states the Rainbow Egg can be hatched to receive a random pet — it does not guarantee any specific one.

• Slime hatches observed

  Recorded play produced a 'sky slime' from a first claimed egg, and a 'B tier Blair Slime' from a golden-egg hatch.

• What hatched pets do

  Pets can increase your stats, helping you defeat enemies more easily.

• Rare outcome: Phoenix

  The Phoenix is described as the 0.01% long-term hatch goal — see the hatch-odds section above.
