Stealing high-tier eggs with low speed in Roblox's Steal An Egg (also listed as +1 Speed Steal An Egg by Speedy ASMR) is accomplished through drop-and-pick kiting, boss aggro distractions, wall collision exploits, and temporary speed boosters. Carrying heavier, high-tier eggs significantly decreases your movement speed, making it nearly impossible to outrun biome bosses through normal sprinting alone. Players who lack billions of speed rely on precise positional mechanics to drag rare eggs safely back to their bases.
The Drop-and-Pick Inching Technique
The primary method for moving an egg across zones without the recommended speed is the drop-and-pick strategy. When you hold an egg, the zone monster actively chases and targets you. If the boss strikes you while you are carrying the egg, you get flung across the map and the egg immediately returns to its spawn pedestal.
- Approach the target nest and pick up the egg.
- Sprint toward the biome exit until the boss closes the distance.
- Drop the egg on the ground immediately before the boss hits your character.
- Step slightly away from the dropped egg. When you are not holding it, the boss will either ignore you, stop its attack sprint, or walk back toward its initial position.
- Wait for the boss to turn around or return to its sleeping animation.
- Pick the egg up again and sprint another short distance toward your base.
- Repeat this cycle through each biome until the egg is securely inside your home pen.
Once an egg crosses the boundary line out of its native biome, the zone monster can no longer reset it to the original pedestal, making the remaining transit significantly safer.
Wall Collisions and Biome Glitches
Several physical obstacles and map borders allow low-speed players to prevent egg resets or completely incapacitate pursuing bosses.
Cherry Blossom Wall Collision
In the Cherry Blossom biome, players with as little as 70 million speed have extracted secret eggs using wall-facing collision:
- Pick up the egg in the Cherry Blossom zone.
- Turn directly toward the nearest perimeter wall and sprint continuously into the surface without turning away.
- Maintain direct contact with the wall so your character is flush against it.
- When the monster catches up and attacks, the wall geometry prevents the egg from flying back to the pedestal.
- Slowly shimmy forward along the wall line until the egg crosses the zone threshold. Once outside the biome border, the monster loses the ability to reclaim the egg.
Cosmic Skeleton Cave Glitch
In the Abyss Ocean and Cosmic zones, nearby cave entrances can be used to glitch out boss pathfinding. Bringing a mid-to-large-sized egg near the cave structure causes the Cosmic Skeleton boss to trip or slide into an indefinite sleeping state on the floor. While the boss remains stuck on the ground, players can freely carry eggs across the area without incoming attacks.
Zigzag Wall Bouncing
Running in sharp, alternating angles between parallel walls allows low-speed players to evade boss attacks. Sharp direction changes force the boss AI into longer turning arcs. Making straight, 90-degree snap turns against side walls also creates momentary physics bounces that provide brief bursts of momentum, preventing the boss from landing a clean strike.
Recommended Biome Speeds vs. Low-Speed Requirements
Each zone display board posts a suggested speed threshold. While these numbers represent the speed needed to outrun bosses in a straight line, drop-kiting lets players steal eggs at a fraction of the posted cost.
| Biome | Posted / Recommended Speed | Feasible Low-Speed Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Desert | 10,000 | Direct sprint or short drop-kite |
| Jungle | 40,000 | Basic drop-and-pick kiting |
| Snow | 170,000 | Zigzag running |
| Volcano | 700,000 | Drop-kiting across boundary |
| Abyss Ocean | 2,500,000 | Cave positioning and drop-kiting |
| Prehistoric | 18,000,000 | Zigzag bouncing and drop-kiting |
| Cosmic | 700,000,000 | Cave glitch or boundary drop-kiting |
| Cherry Blossom | 2,500,000,000 | Wall collision trick or duo distraction |
| Titan Temple | 7,000,000,000+ | Multi-player decoy or boundary kiting |
| Angels and Demons | 20,000,000,000 | Decoy runner or slow drop-kite |
Teamwork and Decoy Aggro Methods
Enlisting a friend or server participant removes the threat of boss pursuit entirely.
- Have your teammate enter the boss arena first and grab an unwanted common egg.
- The boss will immediately lock aggro onto the runner and chase them across the arena.
- While the boss pursues your teammate, walk to the target high-rarity egg (such as an Eternal or Secret egg) and pick it up.
- Walk the primary egg out of the biome undisturbed while the boss is occupied.
- If the boss resets after striking your partner, stop and drop your egg until your partner re-engages aggro.
Speed Multipliers and In-Game Boosts
Low-speed players can temporarily bridge the gap using short-term event items:
- Dr. Scrambled Speed Boost: Available in the event shop for research samples, this consumable grants a 1.25x speed multiplier for 5 minutes. Players report this multiplier significantly reduces the heavy carry penalty on massive eggs, making extraction viable without grinding billions of base speed on the treadmill.
- Treadmill AFK Training: When not actively kiting eggs, standing on upgraded treadmills with an auto-clicker ensures your base speed steadily climbs, reducing the number of drops needed per run.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my character move so slowly when carrying certain eggs?
Movement speed in Steal An Egg scales down depending on the size and weight (kilograms) of the egg you pick up. Massive Secret, Divine, or Eternal eggs place a severe speed penalty on your character, requiring you to use drop-kiting or speed potions even if your raw stats match the zone sign.
What happens if the boss hits me while I am carrying the egg?
If a zone boss lands a hit on you while the egg is in your hands, your character is knocked back a long distance and the egg resets back to its nest. Dropping the egg before the boss hits you prevents this reset.
Can the boss take the egg back after I leave its biome?
No. Once the egg physically crosses the boundary line separating the boss's arena from the preceding biome, the boss can no longer force the egg back to its pedestal, even if the boss continues to swing at you.
