At level 3, equip the pet and use Empathy Candy to transform, according to the community record and several guides.

Each row is the running total at that level, not the increase, so do not add the rows together. Unlocking Nepenthes takes 5 souls, level 2 needs 25 more and level 3 another 75, which is 105 souls in total (5 for the first step, 105 to reach level 3 from nothing). Owned effects apply without riding the pet. Global pets stop at level 3; higher levels seen elsewhere come from the Korean and Taiwanese versions. Video guides disagree on the exact level that unlocks gliding.
