Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Survival Guide?
The Survival Guide is a collection of essential tips covering all aspects of Palworld gameplay, from first steps to endgame preparation. It mirrors the in-game guide with 47 pages of survival knowledge.
Which category should I read first?
New players should start with Basics, then Pals, Base, and Combat. Exploration and Advanced guides are for mid-to-late game content.
How do I capture pals effectively?
Weaken the pal through combat first — lower HP means a higher capture rate. Use higher-tier spheres for higher-level pals. Throw from behind for a back bonus. Capture bonus stacks up to 5×.
What is the most important endgame preparation?
Craft Pal Metal armor (level 46), stockpile Rocket Launchers, condense your best pals, and bring a full party of level 55+ pals. Complete all tower bosses before venturing to the World Tree.
