Palworld Wiki

13 pages

Palworld is an open-world survival game built around catching and commanding creatures called Pals. It blends monster collecting with base building, automation, and combat, and it became one of the fastest-selling games ever by letting your Pals do everything from fighting bosses to running your factories.

How Palworld Plays

You start with nothing and a single Pal Sphere. The loop is explore, catch, build, automate. You catch Pals in the wild, fight with them, and put them to work in your base so resource gathering and crafting keep running while you are off adventuring. As you level up you unlock a tech tree of better gear, weapons, and base structures.

Pals Are Everything

Each Pal has an element (Fire, Water, Grass, Electric, and more) that matters in combat, plus work suitabilities that decide what jobs it can do at base. A good roster covers both: strong battlers for boss fights and mounts, and reliable workers for mining, planting, watering, and crafting. Breeding lets you combine Pals to chase better traits and rarer species.

Bases, Bosses, and Mounts

Your base is a self-running operation: assign Pals, build production lines, and they automate the grind. Out in the world, Alpha Pals are field bosses worth hunting, and the Syndicate Towers end in set-piece Tower Boss fights that gate your progress. Many Pals double as mounts, letting you sprint, glide, swim, or fly across the huge open map.

Playing With Friends

Palworld is great in co-op. Team up with up to four players in one world, or run a dedicated server for a community of up to 32. Pals, bases, and bosses all scale to a group, and splitting work suitabilities across players speeds everything up. See our setup guides to get a world or server going.

Palworld FAQ

What are Pals in Palworld?

Pals are the creatures at the heart of the game. You catch them with Pal Spheres, then use them to fight alongside you, ride them across the map, and put them to work in your base mining, crafting, farming, and more.

How do you catch Pals?

Lower a wild Pal's health in combat, then throw a Pal Sphere at it. The weaker the Pal and the better your sphere, the higher the catch rate. A backstrike from sneaking also boosts your odds.

Is Palworld multiplayer?

Yes. You can play co-op with up to four players in a shared world, or run a dedicated server that supports up to 32 players for a larger community.

What are the best starter Pals?

Early standouts include Lamball and Cattiva for base work, Foxparks for a fire torch and combat, and Depresso or Tanzee for early labor. Catch a variety so you cover mining, planting, and crafting work suitabilities.

How do bases work in Palworld?

You build a base and assign Pals to it. Each Pal has work suitabilities (mining, logging, watering, kindling, crafting, and so on), and they automate those jobs while you explore. Keep them fed and rested or their stats drop.

Are there bosses in Palworld?

Yes. Powerful Alpha Pals roam the world as field bosses, and the Syndicate Towers each end in a tough Tower Boss fight that gates progression and grants big rewards.

Is Palworld just Pokemon with guns?

It borrows the catch-and-collect hook, but it is really an open-world survival-crafting game. You build bases, manage automation and a tech tree, craft weapons including firearms, and ride Pals as mounts.
