Chapter 1: First Steps on Palpagos Island 🏝️ – A Palworld Survival Primer

Your first hours in Palworld are absolutely critical. Every single decision matters, from the moment you create your world to the first humble structure you build. Think of this chapter as your personal blueprint for a powerful start, ensuring you establish a rock-solid foundation for the empire you’re about to create. 🏰

Customizing Your Palworld Experience ⚙️

Before you even take a single step, you hold the power to shape your entire adventure. Palworld is beautifully designed to be tailored to your unique playstyle, letting you ditch the grind and crank up the fun! 🎉

Tweak Your World Settings. Don’t just roll with the default difficulty! Before launching your world, dive into “Custom Settings” to fine-tune your experience. This isn’t cheating; it’s smartly using the tools the game gives you to craft the perfect Palworld adventure for YOU.

Boost Your Gathering Rates. To turbo-charge the early game, set the “Gatherable Items Multiplier” to 3x. This triples the amount of wood, stone, and other goodies you get from each swing, slashing your gathering time. 🌲
Make Harvesting Instant. Lower the “Gatherable Objects Health Multiplier” to 0.5x. This lets you break trees and rocks in a single glorious hit, making resource collection feel fast and super satisfying. ⛏️
Increase Your Loot Drops. Set the “Dropped Items Multiplier” to 2x or 3x. This showers you with more loot from defeated Pals, which is a lifesaver when you’re farming specific materials later on. 🎁
Turn Off the Death Penalty. For a more chill and relaxed experience, change the “Death Penalty” setting to “No drops.” This means you won’t lose your precious inventory when you die, saving you from those frustrating corpse-retrieval missions. 💀
Speed Up Egg Hatching. Set the “Time to Incubate Massive Egg” to 0. This makes all eggs hatch instantly! It’s a massive quality-of-life upgrade, especially for late-game breeding. 🥚
Increase Pal Spawns. Consider cranking up the “Pal Appearance Rate” to make the world feel more vibrant and alive, giving you more opportunities to capture new friends. ✨

Setting	Recommended Value	Why It Helps Your Palworld Journey
Gatherable Items Multiplier	3x	Triples resource drops, drastically reducing gathering time.
Gatherable Object Health	0.5x	Allows you to harvest nodes like trees and stone in one hit.
Dropped Items Multiplier	2x	Doubles the materials dropped by defeated Pals.
Death Penalty	No drops	Removes the stress of losing your inventory upon death.
Time to Incubate Massive Egg	0	Makes eggs hatch instantly, essential for efficient breeding.

Surviving Your First Day and Night ☀️🌙

You’ve landed. The sun is shining. Your goal is beautifully simple: survive until morning.

Grab Everything on the Ground. As you emerge from the starting cave, snatch up every loose piece of Wood, Stone, and Paldium Fragment you see by pressing the ‘F’ key. Every little bit helps! 👋
Unlock Fast Travel Points. Make sure to activate every glowing orange statue you find. These are your Fast Travel points, and unlocking them not only builds your travel network but also grants you a valuable Technology Point. 🗼
Build a Simple Workbench First. Your very first craft should always be the Simple Workbench. It costs a mere 2 Wood and is the gateway to crafting all your essential first tools. 🔨
Craft an Axe and Pickaxe Immediately. With the workbench built, your next two crafts must be the Stone Axe and Stone Pickaxe. These tools will let you gather Wood and Stone far more efficiently. 🪓
Establish Your First Palbox. The Palbox is the beating heart of your base. Place it in a wide, flat, open area. This becomes your personal fast travel point and the command center for all your hardworking Pals. 🏕️
Craft a Torch Before Nightfall. The nights in Palworld are dark and full of dangers. Craft a Hand-held Torch to light your way and keep you warm. 🔥

Prioritize Your Stats Wisely 📊

When you level up, think carefully about where you allocate your stat points. Your role will shift from a hands-on survivor to a base commander, and your stats should reflect that journey.

Invest Heavily in HP. More health points will keep you alive during tough boss fights and those accidental tumbles off cliffs. Aim for at least 1,000 HP. ❤️
Boost Your Carry Weight. This is arguably the most important stat in the game. You’ll be hauling massive amounts of heavy resources like Ore. Increasing your Weight is a long-term investment in your sanity and efficiency. 🏋️
Put a Few Points in Stamina Early. Stamina is super useful for running and climbing at the start, but it becomes less critical once you get a trusty mount, as you’ll be using your Pal’s stamina instead. 🏃‍♀️
Avoid the Attack Stat. Your personal attack damage is tiny compared to what your Pals can dish out. Investing points here gives very little return. Let your Pals be the muscle! 💪
Ignore the Work Speed Stat. While it might seem tempting to craft faster, your Pals will soon be handling all the crafting for you at lightning speeds. Your points are much better spent elsewhere. 🛠️

Essential Early Game Technology 💡

Your Technology tree is your roadmap to power. Don’t just unlock things randomly; plan your path to get the best items as soon as possible.

Unlock the Palbox at Level 2. This is mandatory for starting your base and officially beginning your journey as a Pal tamer.
Build a Wooden Chest. You need a place to stash all your materials! Build a chest right next to your Palbox for easy access. 📦
Craft Straw Pal Beds. Every Pal working at your base needs its own cozy bed to rest and recover its Sanity. 🛌
Get the Normal Parachute. Unlocked at Technology Tier 5, the parachute is a total game-changer for exploration, letting you safely glide down from the greatest heights. 🪂
Look for Schematics. Keep an eye out for treasure chests! You can find schematics inside that unlock technology for free—sometimes even higher-quality versions of items—saving you precious Technology Points. 📜
Skip Redundant Tech. You don’t need to unlock everything. For example, you can often skip the basic bow and just wait for the much more effective Three Shot Bow or the crossbow. Prioritize unlocks that offer a real upgrade. 🏹

Chapter 2: The Art of the Tamer 🐾 – Mastering Palworld’s Pal Management

Your Pals are the heart and soul of your Palworld adventure. They are your workers, your soldiers, and your loyal companions. Learning to capture, manage, and understand them is the true path to becoming a master. 👑

Your First Captures 🎯

Every capture is a step toward leveling up your character and building your unstoppable army.

Catch 10 of Every Pal. The absolute fastest way to level up is by exploiting the massive EXP bonus you get for the first 10 captures of any single Pal species. 🔟
Use the Back Bonus. Tossing a Pal Sphere at a Pal’s back grants a “Back Bonus,” which significantly boosts your chance of a successful capture. Sneaky! 😉
Hunt at Night. Many Pals are sound asleep at night, making it incredibly easy to tiptoe up behind them and score that crucial Back Bonus. 🌙
Weaken Pals Before Capturing. Lower a Pal’s health before you throw a sphere. But be careful—if you accidentally defeat it, you can’t catch it! ❤️‍🩹
Prioritize Cattiva for Your Party. The common cat-like Pal, Cattiva, has an amazing Partner Skill that increases your maximum carrying capacity by 50 just by being in your party. This is a lifesaver in the early game. 🐈
Get a Vixy for Your Ranch. The adorable fox Pal, Vixy, has a unique ranching ability. When assigned to a Ranch, it will periodically dig up basic Pal Spheres and Arrows, giving you an infinite supply for free! 🦊

Pal	Key Role	Where to Find	Why It’s Essential for Your First Palworld Base
Cattiva	Mining, Transporting, Carry Weight	Starting Areas	Increases your personal carry weight when in your party. A great early-game worker.
Lamball	Ranching (Wool)	Starting Areas	Provides a steady supply of Wool for crafting Cloth and basic armor.
Chikipi	Ranching (Eggs)	Starting Areas	A key source of Eggs, a vital ingredient for cooking and later, for breeding Cakes.
Foxparks	Kindling	Starting Areas	Your first dedicated Kindling Pal, needed for cooking food and smelting Ore.
Vixy	Ranching (Items)	Grassy Areas	Digs up free Pal Spheres and Arrows at the Ranch, fueling your captures and combat.

Understanding Your Pal’s Needs ❤️

A happy Pal is a productive Pal. The efficiency of your entire base operation hinges on keeping your workforce healthy and sane.

Cook Your Food. Cooked food restores way more hunger than raw food. More importantly, it also restores Sanity (SAN), which is vital for keeping your base workers happy and productive. 🍔
Monitor Pal Sanity. Pals lose SAN as they work. If it drops too low, they’ll start slacking off, get sick, or even develop injuries, grinding your entire production line to a halt. Keep an eye on that smiley face icon! 😊
Build a Hot Spring. The Hot Spring is a key structure for restoring your Pals’ SAN. Place it in a central location so your hard workers can easily take a relaxing break. ♨️
Feed Them Well. Place a Feed Box near workstations. Pals will automatically eat from the leftmost slot first, so fill it with tasty cooked berries or other high-nutrition food. 🍓
Give Every Pal a Bed. Make sure you have one bed for every single Pal assigned to your base. As you level up, upgrade from Straw Beds to Fluffy Pal Beds for even better SAN recovery. 😴
Manually Assign Stubborn Pals. If a Pal isn’t doing the job you want, you can take control! Walk up to the Pal, press ‘F’ to lift it, carry it to the desired workstation, and press ‘F’ again to throw it at the station. This will lock it into that task. 👉
Reset Bugged Pals. If a Pal gets stuck on terrain or just stops working, the easiest fix is to pop over to your Palbox, drag them back into storage, and then immediately redeploy them to the base. This works like a charm to reset their AI. 🔄

Decoding Pal Skills and Traits 🧠

Not all Pals are created equal. A Pal is a unique blend of its species, its randomized passive skills, and its active abilities.

Check Work Suitability. Every Pal has different skills, like Kindling, Mining, or Handiwork, each with a level. A Pal with Mining Lv. 2 will happily break ore nodes, while a Pal with only Mining Lv. 1 will ignore them. Pay attention to those levels! 📈
Inspect Passive Skills. Always check a Pal’s Passive Skills. These are randomized traits that can provide huge bonuses or crippling penalties. A Pal with “Artisan” (Work Speed +50%) is a true treasure. A Pal with “Slacker” (Work Speed -30%) might be a candidate for the butcher knife… or the condenser. 😅
Hunt for Lucky Pals. As you explore, you might hear a magical sparkling sound and see an oversized, shimmering Pal. These are “Lucky” Pals! They’re stronger than normal and always come with the “Lucky” passive skill (Attack +15%, Work Speed +15%). Always try to capture them! ✨
Use Skill Fruits to Customize Movesets. You can find glowing trees around the world that drop Skill Fruits. These can be used to teach any Pal a new active skill, even if it’s not their type. This lets you give a Fire Pal a Water attack for better combat coverage! 🍎
Condense Your Pals. Once you build the Pal Essence Condenser, you can sacrifice multiple Pals of the same species to power up a single one. This boosts its stats and, at the final 4-star rank, increases all of its Work Suitability levels by 1. This is how you create ultimate Level 5 miners and crafters. 🧬

Chapter 3: Building Your Empire 🏰 – A Guide to Palworld Base Construction

Your base is so much more than a shelter; it’s a factory, a fortress, and the very engine of your progress. Designing it for peak efficiency from day one will save you countless hours down the road.

Location, Location, Location 🗺️

Where you build is just as important as what you build.

Build on Flat, Open Ground. The most important factor for a base location is a large, flat, open area. This is crucial for preventing your Pals from getting stuck on terrain, which is a common and frustrating issue. 🏞️
Prioritize Ore Deposits. For your first or second base, find a spot with a big cluster of Ore nodes (the shiny, reddish-brown rocks). Ore is the most critical resource for mid-game progression, and having your Pals mine it automatically is a complete game-changer. 💎
Use Natural Defenses. Building on a high plateau with only one entrance or backed up against a sheer cliff can make your base much, much easier to defend from raids. 🛡️
Avoid Building on Water. You can’t place foundations or most structures on water, so make sure your base’s big blue circle doesn’t include large ponds or lakes. 💧
Clear Out Natural Resources. Try not to build your main base in a dense forest. The respawning trees and rocks will become annoying obstacles that trap your Pals. Mine them all out and build foundations over their spawn points to prevent them from coming back. 🌲
Your First Base is Temporary. Don’t stress about finding the perfect, god-tier spot on day one. Your first base is just a starter workshop. As you level up your Palbox, you’ll unlock the ability to build a second and third base. These should be your specialized outposts, built strategically to harvest rare resources like Coal and Sulfur. ➡️

The Principles of Efficient Base Design 🏭

Think like a factory manager. Every step your Pals take is time they aren’t spending working. Your goal is to create a compact, logical assembly line.

Minimize Commute Times. The golden rule of Palworld base layout is to minimize the distance Pals have to travel between their bed, the feed box, and their main workstation. 🏃‍♂️
Group Related Workstations. Place structures that are part of the same production chain close to each other. For example, put your Berry Plantation right next to the Feed Box, and your Logging Site and Stone Pit next to a chest that feeds your workbenches. 🔗
Place Chests Next to Production. Put a storage chest directly beside every resource-generating station (Logging Site, Stone Pit, Ranch). This allows Pals to deposit materials instantly instead of trekking across the entire base. 📦
Link Your Crafting Stations. Remember that you can craft using any material stored in any chest within your base’s radius. You don’t need the items in your personal inventory. Magic! ✨
Build Vertically. To save precious ground space, don’t be afraid to build multi-story structures. Just make sure your stairs are at least two blocks wide and your ceilings are three walls high to accommodate your larger Pals. ⬆️
Stack Plantations. You can build structures like Berry Plantations on top of each other by cleverly placing roofs or foundations, creating super-compact farm towers. 🍓

Defending Your Home 🛡️

Sooner or later, raiders will come knocking on your door. Be ready for them.

Upgrade to Stone ASAP. Wooden structures are a major fire hazard during raids and will burn to the ground. As soon as you unlock Stone Structures at level 18, start replacing your wooden base. 🧱
Build Defensive Walls. Use walls to funnel invading enemies into a single, deadly chokepoint. This makes them easy targets for you and your defensive Pals. 💥
Use the Environment. If a raid spawns on a cliff high above your base, they will often just jump down to their doom. Building near cliffs can be a surprisingly effective (and hilarious) defense. 🤣
Let a Boss Do the Dirty Work. For a truly advanced defense, you can build a base near a powerful field boss. When a raid begins, simply lure the boss into the raiding party and watch the beautiful chaos unfold. 🍿

Chapter 4: Gearing Up for Adventure ⚔️ – Palworld Crafting & Technology

Your progression in Palworld is marked by the technology you unlock. Smart investments in your tech tree and an efficient production pipeline for resources are what separate the novices from the industrial titans.

Unlocking Palworld’s Potential: Technology Points 💡

There are two parallel paths of progression in Palworld, and you must master both to succeed. One path is for your industrial might, the other for your adventuring prowess.

Earn Technology Points by Leveling. Each time you level up your character, you’ll gain Technology Points to spend on the main tech tree. ⬆️
Find Technology Manuals. You can find High-Grade Technical Manuals in high-level dungeon chests, which grant you extra Technology Points to spend. 📜
Hunt Bosses for Ancient Technology Points. To unlock the most powerful and unique gear, you need Ancient Technology Points. You get these by defeating Alpha Pals (world bosses), Dungeon Bosses, and Syndicate Tower Bosses for the first time. 👾
Farm Chillet for Early Ancient Tech. The Level 11 Alpha Pal, Chillet, is located very close to the starting area. Defeating or capturing it repeatedly is an excellent way to farm your first Ancient Technology Points. 🐉
Prioritize Ancient Tech Unlocks. Your first Ancient Technology Point unlocks should absolutely be the Egg Incubator (for hatching powerful Pals) and the Grappling Gun (for insane mobility). 🚀

The Ore and Coal Pipeline: Fueling Your Industry 🏭

Wood and Stone will only get you so far. The industrial age of your Palworld empire runs on metal.

Establish a Dedicated Mining Outpost. You will eventually hit a resource wall where you need more Ore and Coal than your starting area can provide. At this point, you must use your second base slot to build a dedicated mining outpost in a resource-rich area. ⛏️
Find the Best Mining Spot. The best location for a mid-to-late game mining base is on the mountain at coordinates (189, -37). This spot has a dense cluster of 8 Ore nodes and 6 Coal nodes on a flat, easily defensible plateau. It’s paradise! 🤩
Automate Your Mining. Populate your mining base with Pals that have a high Mining skill (Lv. 2 or higher), such as Digtoise or Anubis. They will automatically mine any nodes within the base radius, turning your outpost into a 24/7 resource machine. 🤖
Smelt Ore into Ingots. You’ll need a Simple Furnace (and a Kindling Pal like Foxparks) to turn Ore into Ingots, the primary building block for all your metal gear and structures. 🔥
Create Refined Ingots. Later, you’ll need an Improved Furnace to combine Ore and Coal to create Refined Ingots, which are required for the best weapons and armor in the game. 💪

From Workbench to Assembly Line ⚙️

The ultimate goal of your base is to create a self-sufficient factory where you simply place an order and your Pal workforce handles the rest.

Upgrade Your Workbenches. Your crafting stations follow a clear progression path: Simple Workbench ➡️ High Quality Workbench ➡️ Production Assembly Line. Each tier is faster and unlocks more awesome recipes.
Automate with Assembly Lines. The late-game Assembly Lines require Pals with Handiwork and Electricity to operate, but they craft items at unbelievable speeds. This is the pinnacle of Palworld automation. ⚡
Specialize Your Production. You will eventually unlock specialized workbenches for spheres (Sphere Workbench/Assembly Line) and weapons (Weapon Workbench/Assembly Line). Set these up to streamline your production of essential items.
Let Your Pals Do the Work. Once you have a well-staffed base, you should rarely need to craft items yourself. Queue up large batches of items and let your dedicated Handiwork Pals take over while you go out and explore the world. 🌍

Chapter 5: The Thrill of the Hunt 🏹 – Palworld Combat & Boss Strategies

While building an empire is rewarding, Palworld is also a game of thrilling, action-packed combat. Mastering its systems will allow you to take down even the most fearsome beasts the islands have to offer.

The Fundamentals of Palworld Combat 💥

Master the Dodge Roll. Pressing the CTRL key makes you perform a dodge roll with a few precious frames of invincibility. Learning the timing of enemy attacks and dodging through them is the single most important combat skill you can learn. 🤸
Aim for the Head. Headshots on Pals and human enemies deal critical damage. Always go for the dome! 🎯
Use Elemental Weaknesses. Every Pal has elemental types, and each type is strong or weak against others. Exploiting these weaknesses is the key to victory. For example, use a Fire Pal against a Grass or Ice type for double damage! 🔥💧⚡️
Let Your Pal Be the Tank. In a difficult fight, your first priority is to stay alive. Throw your Pal out in front of you to draw the enemy’s attention (aggro). 🛡️
Recall Your Pal to Avoid Damage. If you see a boss charging up a massive attack aimed at your Pal, recall them to their sphere just before it hits. Your Pal will be completely safe, and you can redeploy them a second later. A true pro move! 😮
Use Pillars for Cover. The arenas for the main Tower Bosses all have large pillars. Use these to block projectiles and give your shield time to regenerate. Play smart! 🧠

Attacker Type	Strong Against (2x Damage)	Weak Against (0.5x Damage)
🔥 Fire	🌿 Grass, ❄️ Ice	💧 Water
💧 Water	🔥 Fire	⚡ Electric
⚡ Electric	💧 Water	🗿 Ground
🗿 Ground	⚡ Electric	🌿 Grass
🌿 Grass	🗿 Ground	🔥 Fire
❄️ Ice	🐉 Dragon	🔥 Fire
🐉 Dragon	💀 Dark	❄️ Ice
💀 Dark	⚪ Neutral	🐉 Dragon
⚪ Neutral	(None)	💀 Dark

Advanced Combat Tactics 🤯

Your party of five Pals isn’t just a team; it’s a toolbox of deadly abilities to be deployed at the perfect moment.

Cycle Your Pals Constantly. Don’t just send out one Pal and let it fight until it faints. For maximum damage, send out a Pal, have it use all its skills, then immediately swap to the next Pal in your party and repeat. By the time you cycle back to the first Pal, its skills will be ready to go again! 🔄
Use Damage-Over-Time Effects. Status effects like Poison and Fire are incredibly powerful, especially against bosses with huge health pools. The damage they deal is based on a percentage of the enemy’s max HP, melting them from the inside out. ☠️
Use Mounts to Enhance Your Attacks. Certain mounts have a special ability that imbues your own attacks with an element while you are riding them. For instance, riding a Ragnahawk adds Fire damage to your attacks, letting you personally exploit weaknesses with your own weapons. 🔥
Build a Team of Gobfins. The Pal Gobfin has a partner skill that increases the player’s attack power. This effect stacks! Filling your party with four Gobfins can provide a mind-blowing damage boost for your character. 🐟
Use Galeclaw as a Combat Glider. The glider made from Galeclaw’s gloves lets you move lightning-fast around the battlefield and even shoot your weapon while gliding, making it an amazing tool for dodging attacks. 🦅

Conquering Palworld’s Toughest Foes 🏆

Prepare for Timed Battles. The main Syndicate Tower Bosses are on a strict 10-minute timer. This means your strategy must focus on dealing as much damage as possible, as quickly as possible. Go all out! ⏰
Over-Level for Bosses. The bosses in Palworld are no joke. It’s always a good idea to be a few levels higher than the boss you are challenging and to bring Pals of a similar level. 💪
Bring the Right Team. Always, always, always bring a team of Pals that have an elemental advantage against the boss you are fighting. This is the difference between victory and defeat. 🤝
Use the “Base Swarm” Strategy. For the open-world Alpha Pals, you can use an incredibly effective (and hilarious) “cheese” strategy. Build a temporary Palbox just outside the boss’s aggro range. Start the fight, then lure the boss into your base’s radius. All 15 of your worker Pals will swarm the boss, creating an epic 20-vs-1 beatdown. 🤣

Chapter 6: The Secrets of Creation 🧬 – An Advanced Breeding Guide

Breeding is one of the deepest and most rewarding systems in Palworld. It is the path to creating perfect Pals with ideal skills and abilities, but it is also the ultimate test of your base automation skills.

Setting Up Your Breeding Operation ❤️

Unlock the Breeding Farm. The Breeding Farm structure is unlocked at Technology Level 19. You’ll need one for each pair of Pals you want to breed at the same time. 🥚
Bake a Cake. To get an egg, you must place a Cake in the chest attached to the Breeding Farm. One Cake is consumed for every single egg produced. 🎂
Automate Cake Production. The recipe for Cake is complex: 5 Flour, 8 Red Berries, 7 Milk, 8 Eggs, and 2 Honey. The only way to breed efficiently is to first build a base that automates the production of these ingredients. This requires:
- Wheat and Berry Plantations for Flour and Berries. 🍓
- A Ranch staffed with a Chikipi (for Eggs 🥚), a Mozzarina (for Milk 🥛), and a Beegarde (for Honey 🍯).
Cakes Don’t Spoil in the Breeding Farm. A crucial tip: any Cake placed in the Breeding Farm’s chest will never spoil. You can safely stockpile hundreds of them there. ✅

The Science of Palworld Genetics 🔬

Understand Breeding Power. Every Pal species has a hidden “breeding power” value. The game averages the power of the two parents to determine the species of the offspring. This means you can combine two completely different Pals to get a third, often rare, species! 🤯
Pass Down Passive Skills. The true power of breeding lies in inheriting Passive Skills. An offspring has a chance to inherit any of the passive skills from its parents. This is how you create super-Pals. 🧠
Breed for Perfection. The goal is to create a Pal with a perfect set of four desired passive skills. The most reliable way to do this is to breed two parents who each have two of the desired skills. This gives a higher chance of success than using two parents who both have the same four skills.
Use a Breeding Calculator. The Palworld community has created amazing online breeding calculators that can tell you exactly which two Pals to combine to get the offspring you want. Use these tools to plan your world-domination projects! 💻

Desired Pal	Breeding Combination 1	Breeding Combination 2	Key Use
Anubis	Relaxaurus + Celaray	Penking + Bushi	Best Handiwork Pal (Lv. 4)
Grizzbolt	Mossanda + Rayhound	—	Powerful Electric Pal, needed for other recipes
Jormuntide Ignis	Jormuntide + Blazehowl	—	Best Kindling Pal (Lv. 4)
Faleris	Anubis + Vanwyrm	—	Fast flying mount with Lv. 3 Kindling
Orserk	Grizzbolt + Relaxaurus	—	Best Electricity Pal (Lv. 4)
Shadowbeak	Kitsun + Astegon	—	Top-tier Dark combat Pal

Creating the Ultimate Pal 🏆

Identify Your Goal. Decide if you are breeding a Pal for combat or for work, and identify the four best passive skills for that role.
- Best Combat Passives: Legend, Ferocious, Musclehead, Lucky. 💪
- Best Work Passives: Artisan, Serious, Work Slave, Lucky. 🛠️
Start a Chain. The process involves “chain breeding.” First, find or breed Pals that have one of your desired skills. Then, breed them together to create a new Pal with two of the skills. Continue this process, combining pairs until you have two parent Pals that, between them, have all four skills you want. Finally, breed those parents with your target species until you hatch the perfect offspring. It’s a long process, but the result is a Pal far more powerful than any you could ever find in the wild. ⛓️

Chapter 7: Palpagos Uncovered 🗺️ – Exploration & Hidden Mechanics

You’ve mastered the basics, built an empire, and conquered the toughest foes. Now it’s time to learn the secrets that will elevate your gameplay from proficient to legendary. These are the hidden mechanics and advanced tricks that Palworld doesn’t tell you.

Advanced Movement and Traversal 🚀

The Slide-Jump-Glide. To travel incredibly fast without a mount, find a downward slope. Start sprinting, then press the crouch button to begin a high-speed slide. At the end of the slide, jump and immediately deploy your glider. You will be launched forward with incredible momentum. 🏂
The Grapple Gun Slingshot. While gliding, you can aim your Grappling Gun at the ground, a tree, or a rock. Firing it will pull you forward and slingshot you at immense speed, letting you cover huge distances faster than many flying mounts. 🧗
Move While Over-Encumbered. The Grappling Gun is your best friend when you’re carrying too much Ore to move. You can use it to pull yourself to your storage chests or a fast travel point, even when you’re completely over-encumbered. 🎒
Negate All Fall Damage. You can survive a fall from ANY height. Either deploy your glider just a moment before you hit the ground, or turn to face a cliff wall and grab onto it just before you land. Easy peasy. 🕊️

Inventory and Resource Management Secrets 🤫

Quick Stack Your Inventory. When you have a storage chest open, instead of dragging and dropping, simply press the ‘R’ key. This will automatically move any items from your inventory into stacks that already exist in the chest. A huge time-saver! 🔄
Prevent Food Spoilage. Food left on a campfire or in the output slot of a production building (like a Mill or Crusher) will NEVER spoil. This is a great way to store perishable goods long-term. 🍎
Reset Spoil Timers. Pressing the “Sort” button inside a Feed Box or Cooler will completely reset the spoilage timer on all food items inside. Use this to keep food fresh forever! ⏱️
Repair All Items at Once. At a Repair Bench, you can press ‘R’ to repair all damaged items in your inventory at once, pulling the required materials directly from your base storage. So convenient! 🔧

Unconventional and Game-Changing Tricks 🤯

Create a Portable Teleporter. You can use your third base slot as a temporary, portable fast travel point. When exploring a remote area, build a Palbox. This allows you to teleport back to your main base to drop off loot. When you’re done, you can open your map, hover over the temporary base icon, and press the key to disassemble it, which refunds the materials directly to you. Genius! 🌀
Capture Merchants for In-Base Shopping. Yes, you can actually capture the human merchants and Black Marketeers with a Pal Sphere. If you succeed, you can assign them to your base and have your very own vendor available 24/7. 💰
Farm Resources from Dungeons. You can efficiently farm materials like Pal Fluids and Ice Organs by entering the Penking boss dungeon. Defeat all the small Pengullets inside, but DO NOT defeat the Penking boss. Then, simply exit and re-enter the dungeon. The small Pals will have respawned, ready to be farmed again and again. 💀
Save Your EXP Bonus for the Late Game. The “catch 10 of each Pal” bonus gives a massive amount of experience that scales with your level. A sneaky but powerful strategy is to avoid catching 10 of the easy, low-level Pals at the start. Instead, save that easily-farmable EXP bonus for the brutal level 40-50 grind, where it will provide a much more significant boost and help you power through the final levels. 📈
Revive Pals Instantly. Instead of waiting 10 long minutes for a knocked-out Pal to revive in the Palbox, there’s a much faster way. Put the fainted Pal in your party, then go to sleep in a bed for the night. When you wake up, it will be fully revived and healed. Good as new! 🛌
