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.
