Guide Content

SAN (sanity) decreases when pals work too long without rest. Low SAN causes pals to get sick, refuse work, or eat excessively. Provide beds for every pal, keep food stocked, and build a hot spring for SAN recovery. Monitor SAN via the Palbox or monitoring stand. Overworked pals may attack the base.

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.
