Some Pals are built around status effects, turning a simple debuff into an opportunity to deal significantly more damage, and Roujay is one of the best examples.
This large Dark-type flyer can punish enemies suffering from Blind while giving you a reliable flying mount for getting around the map.
Its Gathering and Transporting abilities also give Roujay some value at your base when you are not using it to hunt down enemies.
Roujay Location
Roujay can be found around the World Tree, with Lacrymal Shoal and Corroded Hollow being two areas where you can encounter this Dark-type Pal.
Both locations are worth checking when hunting for Roujay, especially if you are looking to build a party around Dark attacks and status effects.
Roujay Spawn Locations include:
- -1966, 1333
- -1959, 1298
- -1967, 1246
- -1725, 1598

Partner Skill
Dark-Nester
Roujay’s Partner Skill is called Dark-Nester, allowing it to be ridden as a flying mount once you have crafted its saddle.
The real strength of Dark-Nester comes from its party effect, increasing both your damage and your Pals’ damage against enemies afflicted with Blind by 50%.
This effect does not require Roujay to be actively fighting, meaning simply keeping it in your party can turn Blind into a major damage window for your entire team.
The bonus can also increase through Partner Skill upgrades, reaching 65% at the highest level, although the effect does not stack with another Roujay.
Roujay Uses
Roujay is at its best in parties that can consistently inflict Blind, allowing you to take advantage of its damage bonus instead of treating Blind as just a defensive status effect.
Dark attacks are particularly useful here, and Roujay itself has access to several Dark skills that can contribute to applying pressure while its Partner Skill supports the rest of your party.
Its flying mount also gives you another way to travel through the World Tree and other difficult areas, with a ride sprint speed of 1,350.
At your base, Level 5 Gathering and Transporting let Roujay collect resources and move materials, giving it useful jobs when it is not needed for combat.

Verdict
Roujay is both a combat support and flying mount, with Dark-Nester turning Blind into a powerful damage window for you and your entire party.
It is particularly deadly in teams built around Blind, letting your Dark-focused Pals capitalize on enemies that have already been hit with the status effect.
With its flying mount and useful Gathering and Transporting abilities, Roujay is a Pal that can contribute both during combat and while exploring or working at your base.
