Pal Souls System
Complete guide to the Palworld Pal Souls system: soul types (HP/ATK/DEF/SPD), acquisition methods, Power Statue devotion, and stat enhancement.
Collect Pal Souls and enhance individual pal stats (HP, ATK, DEF, SPD) at the Power Statue
Soul types
There are four types of Pal Souls, each corresponding to a base stat. You enhance a specific pal by offering the matching soul type at the Power Statue.
| Stat | Effect | Max per stat |
|---|---|---|
| HP Soul | Increases maximum HP | 10 levels |
| ATK Soul | Increases attack power | 10 levels |
| DEF Soul | Increases defense | 10 levels |
| SPD Soul | Increases movement speed | 10 levels |
Acquisition methods
Pal Souls are primarily found in treasure chests and as drops from dungeons and raids. Different soul types can appear in different chest tiers.
- Treasure chests — the most common source, found across the map
- Dungeon boss chests — guaranteed soul drops per clear
- Raid rewards — multiple souls per successful raid
- Predator pal defeats — chance to drop souls
- Salvage nodes in deep water — rare soul drops
- Arena high-rank rewards — bonus souls at top tiers
Power Statue devotion
The Power Statue lets you offer Pal Souls to enhance a specific pal. Unlike Pal Effigies which boost your global capture power, souls enhance a single pal's individual stats. Select the pal, choose the stat, and offer the required souls.
- 1. Collect Pal Souls
Open chests, clear dungeons, and complete raids to gather HP, ATK, DEF, and SPD Souls.
- 2. Visit the Power Statue
Travel to any Power Statue and interact to open the enhancement menu.
- 3. Select a pal
Choose the pal you want to enhance from your pal box.
- 4. Offer souls
Pick a stat (HP, ATK, DEF, or SPD) and offer the required number of souls to raise that stat by one level.
Stat enhancement levels
Each stat can be enhanced up to 10 levels. Higher levels require more souls per rank. The stat bonus is permanent for that pal and stacks with passive skills and awakening gems.
| Level | Souls required | Stat bonus |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | +1 |
| 2 | 2 | +2 |
| 3 | 3 | +3 |
| 4 | 5 | +4 |
| 5 | 7 | +5 |
| 6 | 10 | +6 |
| 7 | 14 | +7 |
| 8 | 20 | +8 |
| 9 | 28 | +9 |
| 10 | 40 | +10 |
