How to Acquire The Digby Boy in Once Human
1. Mining Silver and Tin Ore
The primary method to obtain The Digby Boy is through mining Silver Ore and, less commonly, Tin Ore. Here’s how you can find these ores and increase your chances of getting a Digby Boy:
Steps to Mine Ores:
Identify Ore Nodes:
1. Silver Ore is less common and can often be confused with Tin Ore.
2. Look for nodes in areas like Meyer’s Market and the Red Sands.
Mine the Ore:
3. Use a Bronze Axe or higher-tier pickaxe, as common tools won’t work on Silver Ore.
4. Continuously mine these nodes until you obtain a Digby Boy.
Keep Mining:
5. Patience is key, as the drop rate for The Digby Boy is based on chance.
6. Continue mining in areas with high concentrations of Silver Ore to increase your odds.
2. Completing the Quest in Deadsville
Another reliable way to acquire The Digby Boy is by completing a quest given by Lowe in Deadsville.
- Find Lowe:
- Locate Lowe in Deadsville; he’s the NPC with glasses sitting by a table.

- Collect Copper Ore:
- Gather 30 Copper Ore before heading to Throughville.
- Find the Digby Boy:
- Locate the Digby Boy sitting on a ledge marked by a quest marker.
- Give it the Copper Ore to turn it into a bubble and capture it.
