In the past, the world of Luma Island was filled with creatures named Luma, and they used their magical powers to help out those who lived on the island. In current times, they seem to have completely disappeared, and no one’s sure what happened to them or where they went.

To make things more mysterious, there are plenty of ruins left by those ancient peoples, but they don’t seem to hint at where the Luma went either – or do they? There might just be a way to bring them back to the island and even get their help, but you’ll have to delve deep into those ruins to find out.
Luma Island is currently in Early Access on Steam, so information may be subject to change in the future and will be updated as necessary.
How To Get A Luma Egg
Before you can get yourself your first Luma, you’ll need to go through the Ancient Farm Temple which is located at the upper center of your farm, to the right of the entrance into town.
Make sure you complete the tutorial missions enough to earn the Copper Whip before going inside, as it’s required for a handful of rooms.
It has twelve rooms you need to progress through in one go, and each one requires you to either pass through, evade traps, or kill the enemies in the room to open the door to the next one.
- When hit by minor enemies such as Bats, they’ll make you drop a few of your items, but you can pick them back up as soon as they’re dropped.
- When hit by traps like the fire-breathing statues, they’ll make you drop a few of your items and return to the entrance of the room, but you can still get your items back and continue.
Each room gives you a ladder for a quick escape, but choosing to leave in the middle of the challenge will make you lose your obtained items in that run, and you’ll have to repeat the dungeon from the beginning.
Make sure you break all the barrels and vases in each room, as they contain loot like Tool Tokens, Resin, Lost Spirits, and Sand.

The final chest in the room will contain a variety of loot, such as Tool Tokens, but most importantly, you’ll receive a Mysterious Egg from it, one of the two key ingredients for hatching a Luma.
Luma You Can Find
The appearance of the egg you receive from the chest hatches into a particular Luma, but which one you get is random, so you can restart your game to find a particular Luma if you don’t like your initial one.

How To Hatch A Luma
Now that you’ve got your Mysterious Egg, the next thing you’ll need is the Luma Incubator, and its drawing can be purchased from Balthazar’s shop for 500 Gold.
You don’t have to complete the profession introduction quests before you enter the Ancient Farm Temple, but it helps to have enough Gold ready to purchase the drawings.

How To Obtain Materials |

Luma Incubator |
Farm Leather x5 Copper Bar x3 Fabric x5 Glass x5 |
Crafted from Farm Mushrooms in a Simple Workbench. Crafted from Copper Ore and Charcoal in an Ore Smelter. Crafted from Cotton in a Simple Workbench. Crafted from Sand in a Kiln. |
At the Luma Incubator, you’ll have six recipes to choose from: five types of Luma Life, each of which takes 250 of a type of Spirit, and then the Mysterious Creature, which needs one Luma Life of any type, and the Mysterious Egg.
Put both your chosen Luma Life and the Mysterious Egg in the Luma Incubator after selecting the recipe, and after around 30 seconds of real-time, your Luma will finish incubating and hatch.
While you can purchase Luma Nest drawings from Balthazar’s shop already, you don’t need them until you have two or more Lumas.
What Do Luma Do?
Whichever Luma you get will be automatically assigned to the Helper slot in your menu, or if you’ve picked the Treasure Hunter Profession and have a dog, it will go into one of your inventory spots instead.
You can obtain the very important Luma Energy material from your Lumas, which is used for mid-to-late game upgrades and crafting recipes.
You can get two Luma Energy per day per Luma: one comes from petting them, and the other comes from deeding them Luma Food.
Once you’ve got a Luma, they can help you find hidden treasure chests by alerting you to their location by standing over the spot where you dig and making noises.
