Gomamon is a Digimon that players will encounter through the main storyline quest in Digimon Survive; once players help Gomamon out, they can befriend it and add it to the team. Digimon Survive follows eighth-grade protagonist Takuma Momozuka and his Digimon partner Agumon in an alternate world. As Momozuka navigates the world, he befriends new Digimon like Gomamon. While many of the Digimon are obtained by befriending them in conversation, some are encountered during the gameplay.

Gomamon is known as a Rookie Digimon with a powerful water attack. Its most powerful move is Marching Fishes, where a school of fish comes flying at enemies in battle. It is a mostly white marine creature with purple stripes and has a bit of a naughty personality.

Unlike other Digimon, Gomamon cannot be befriended with conversation in battle. Instead, players will encounter Gomamon in Part Three during the Free Choice section. Players should head to the forest outside the school, where players can complete a series of tasks to eventually befriend Gomamon.

Digimon Survive How to Get Gomamon Heal Injury

First, players need to defeat Fangmon on the dam in Part 3 of the story in Digimon Survive. After this fight, players will have Free Choice time. Head to the forest outside the school and meet with Kunemon. Kunemon will direct players to the Spider Lily Forest, where Agumon, Falcomon, and Labramon will warn players about some rustling coming from the bushes.

After investigating the noise from the bushes, players will encounter an injured Gomamon. Interact with Gomamon, and players can help heal its wounds. Healing Gomamon results in an increased affection level, and it'll agree to be a friend. If healing it the first time does not yield enough affection for it to be befriended, continue to help it. There will be several chances to encounter Gomamon in Digimon Survive and add it to the team.

While this encounter is one way of befriending Digimon in Digimon Survive, this is not the predominant method. Normally, players need to answer a series of questions in conversation. If players give answers that align with the Digimon's personality, they can befriend it and add it to the roster; this is how Digimon like Betamon are added to the team. Additionally, players who downloaded a virtual copy of the game can get Guilmon automatically as long as they play the game at least once before the end of August; this was a special DLC bonus to encourage players to buy and play Digimon Survive on its release.
