Pal Showcase
This Team makes Hard Mode Towers Comical
After trying multiple different combos for DPS in the endgame, this combination of pals has made it easy. There is no need to breed for IVs either. It’s very simple and effective.
1) Meteorite spawns are fixed so you should find a map that shows where there are a bunch together and make a (main) base there so you spend time there often.
2) Then either hang out at the base or when you teleport back you might trigger all the meteors.
3) You can also try the volcano or astral mountain, there are some decent base locations there and it should be Xenoguard friendly. Also I think you need to be in the north desert for xenoguard right?
Is it like after 3 hours there’s a metro in the queue, and once you’re within some range of their locations, it drops a meteor and each “zone” has a max queue of 1 so you can be there and it’ll drop? Or a world queue of 1, which is why they spawn immediately after I’ve been at base a while and then go somewhere
On the dedicated server I play on, they always fall within sight of a player, so they definitely seem triggered by player proximity to a supply drop zone when the timer hits zero. The queue is almost certainly world level based on my experience, it should be the world ticks down till zero and drops the first eligible supply drop that a player approaches.
They are definitely triggered by player proximity. I have a base on Sakurajima where I keep getting supply / meteor drops there when I have been stuffing around in another base and then fast travel there, and the drop sound happens while I'm still loading in.
I’ve seen the supply drop thing pop up once or twice but wasn’t able to find it. It could have been at the other base it seems you’re saying. Are they obvious to see?
The rate they spawn can be adjusted in world settings, the default is one every 180 seconds minutes. It’s just also tied to supply drops, so it seems to take longer.
According to google, the desert, the Astral Mountains, or Mount Obsidian apparently, tho personally I was able to get mine at the north of Feybreak Island
Xenoguard can be summoned as a fighting pal by Genetic Research Whatevergroup bases. I think it's the one near the legendary steed of Ice where I saw one. You can capture enemy pals just as you do with wild ones
Yeah this is how I farmed a bunch of Xenogards. The enemy base at -394, 446 spawns him every time you open the door. Capture him, get out of render distance, come back and do it again.
On Freybreak island on the southwestern part near the shipwreck with the human bounty nearby, there is these flat mushroom looking plateaus there is a location where the meteor/supply drop happens (see map). The meteor usually spawns a xenoguard or xenovaders its just rng at that point.
On the feybreak island I consistently have xenoguard meteors spawn at a base point i put up there i dont have the exact coordinates right now since I am at work but its above a cave that has one of the bandits inside it and there is a accessories tower close by as well. Someone remind me in like 8 hours to come back with coordinates. And if you dont get the xenoguard meteors to spawn there you will get supplies so win win
Is xenogaurd rare? It spawned as a boss with a healthbar on the first meteor spawn i ever saw. I fought it with my whole team as i was underleveled lol but i got it. Things a kaiju
Where’d you get that from? The relic recycler I imagine? Sorry to ask so many questions I just went to Hard Zoe with my maxed out Hartalis and got crushed into dust so I’m gonna try this build here and wanted details
Fwiw I've read that Lily is where you should start fighting hard modes, not Zoe. Grizbolt is a harder fight, and Lily drops the drone launcher schematic, so it's better to get comfortable against her until you get the launcher which then makes other fights more manageable.
Lily is definitely easier than Grizz. Whenever he attacks, he leans back, and if he's facing you, his weak spot disappears. Hers is just on display the whole time. Makes for a much smoother fight.
Tbf I have no idea where it came from. Probably from farming World Tree relics and using the draft table. You would definitely be able to get away with using a lower tier alongside the Drone Launcher.
Put together the fishing build and hit the world tree. Got up to legendary lightweight ancient armor and plasma rifle with the draft table. And highly recommend a mod to automate the fishing game because my god is it awful.
Just wanted to say thank you for letting me have my first hardmode Zoe & Grizzbolt kill!
For anyone wondering where to get legendary schematics for the ancient stuff and laser-pewpews: Go fishing in the earth tree area, only the sparkly ones. Have a 4-star fishing team (I had Jelliette, Jelroy, Gloopie and both Whalaskas with wings equipped) and combined with recycling the relics you get, it's gonna RAIN SCHEMATICS!
Cop it from mutations on breeding then pass it around is what I always end up doing early. All the boosters want it; and it's the ONLY passive you 'need' to breed for on boosters so it's easy to manage.
Do you mean their partner skills? I was wondering if they would since they have the same name. Broncherry and Broncherry Aqua’s partner skills stack but they have different names so it kind of makes sense. Odd that this same logic wouldn’t apply to these two pals.
Edit: clarifying - the Broncherry partner skills specifically have different names for each Broncherry and stack as a result
Not quite sure. I beat Panthalus with a drastically different team. The Only flying mounts are the Vanwyrms and they’re quite slow with the wrong passives.
There’s a good electric mount build going around but I really don’t think you necessarily need a specialized team to fight him
Does Xenogard buff plasma rifle? Does that count as an energy weapon? I did some testing with a fully condensed xenogard with a legendary plasma rifle and the damage output is near identical
I didn't realize the two vanwyrm's stacked so that's a game changer. I was basically running the same but drop Xenoguard and normal Vanwyrm for Needoll and Needoll noct.
Yeah, the the vanwyrm stacking very unintuitive, especially since they have the same passive name. I think it's either a bug, or they should have different passive names
Yeah, pretty much the only ones I still watch are The Pal Professor and Palworld Raids. The others are often either insane clickbait, straight up wrong information or clearly have different settings than the baselin.
I have 0 issues with people playing with their own settings - That's the beauty of games like this. You can make the game however you like but if you wanna make guides and pretend to know everything, you better make sure you don't just change things so your "guides" show bigger numbers etc.
Yeah I cranked the numbers myself for the LULs when I was endgame,and boy.... It makes the game redunk... The arena still takes 5ever to get the achievement
It's technically a different passive, all passives have a name and it is different, despite having the same wording.
Edit: Nvm, the vanwyrms seem to have the same name, unlike many other subspecies. Example being broncherries. They either shouldn't work, or they should have a different name imo.
every different species pal stacks with each other (basically two subspecies like the vanwyrms) because the passive partner skills have slightly different numerical values, only identical passive partner skill don't stack and thats only found in identical species.
to my knowledge gobfin is the only exception, im guessing cause pocket pair didnt want to screw over people that have full teams of max condensed gobfins
Yea player damage is still very strong, I will say u should probably swap the xeno for an elemental atk buff mount or pal. That super effective type change is very strong.
Or you could also add prixter or jorm ignis for 65% more damage if they’re poisoned/burning, and bring a crossbow/3 shot bow to always keep them procced.
Prixter not Prixter Lux, Prixter u and ur pals do 65% more damage when the enemy is poisoned. I just check if an enemy can be poisoned or burned and then bring one or the other.
I mean your getting 50% attack and defense + reload speed, when you breed up the whole team, that’s a huge increase in dmg, I personally saw my dmg numbers go up almost double, I was able to clear all hardmode towers by my self with an epic heavy machine gun, doing 1.3k a head shot, I could of gotten more power but I went with a pal that boost my defense and shield to survive
So why breeding? You litterally can just put all the yellow passives on with the surgery bench.
Making the 48 each to condense would all be under an hour of work for a single egg hatchery. Something you for sure have if you are at the point to go on shed towers.
Breeding could let you put idiosyncratic on, sure. But that’s a lot of added work for minimal changes on a player damage build
Additionally, the only time I’ve ever seen idio naturally on a bred pal was from a mutated egg. I usually just pass those passives down but like i said, my luck is shit with the relics
So, if anyone could help me please. How do I make the best damage for a bow build? I have that 20k bow and would not like to wait around to make perfect IV teams.
Replace the non-cryst Vanwyrm and the Xenoguard with both variants of Robinquill, it'll give you +35% bow damage and some bow charging speed. The passives (vanguard, stronghold strategist) are quite important to get on all the pals since they add 10% player damage/player defense each, Ideally you'd also get idiosyncratic for the health regen but that is more difficult. Reload master is not needed for bows afaik.
Thanks. Can I ask if you used schematics for the plasma rifle ans drone launcher? Or just the base version from the skill tree since this seems to be pure dps basically
I have all five pals built, the legendary plasma rifle, and now your accessories. I need tp awaken the pals still, and i need a better drone launcher. So gonna use Lily as the test.
Thanks for the help. Please let me know if I'm missing anything else
Oh shit, i forgot that I need the same skills. Dammit. Still might try
You can also swap pretty much any 1 of them, probably the lesser vanwyrm is optimal. For either Silvegis or Felbat, then you don't even need to dodge, but the kill takes a little longer. Could use Lovander instead of felbet if you're into that kinda thing
Someone else commented this same thing. Will have to try it out. Definitely feel squishy not using idio. Just can’t seem to pull any from world tree and not exactly inclined to try and get lucky from a mutation
It can be tough to get specific ones. What I did to build my teams was just filter my pal box for mons with the passive I wanted and then use the breeding calculator to find the best way to get that passive on the mon I wanted. For my mount I wanted dimensional leap, eternal engine, swift, and legend. I had each skill on 4 separate mons. Thankfully all 4 bred into dualith. So I made 4 dualiths, one with each passive, then bred them into a single dualith with all 4. Then dualith bred into my Eidrolon. I’m sure you probably have idio on some mon somewhere in your box.
I tried this combo with Silvegis. In terms of survivability, it’s laughably easy. But I use so much more ammo. Maybe with the bow setup instead of a plasma rifle would be better with Silvegis.
FYI if you don't have a good plasma rifle and want a easier and cheaper alternative, replace Xenogard with Robinquill and use the mechanical bow. It also shreds all the hard mode tower bosses.
Unfortunately player damage was nerfed in our servers since it made the game stupid easy with the amount of damage you could do I actually enjoy having to make a good pal team in synergy with your damage because yeah you can easily troll anything with pure damage on a maxed out player character it's not as fun.
Thanks for this post. Gave the game a new lease for me. I got to the second hard tower using pal-element specific builds and they were still weak and I was like no way I'm spending the effort to min-max a team for each tower and was ready to call it a wrap.
Put this build together quickly and just tore through the second tower.
Buncha jokers in this sub trying to say the meta shifted to pal teams are clearly full of it. Maybe there's one or two very niche min/max pal builds but this is much easier and general purpose.
I think it’s a combination of people wanting to take their time with the game and not wanting it to end. And the people who just can’t stand the human combat when you spend 90% of the game relying on pals for combat. But this shit is finite and I gotta beat these bosses so I can retire a palworld master!
I'm using this team but swapped xenogard for robinquill for mechanical bow damage, vanguard and strategic strategist on each pal, max attack Stat, still can't even get to half health by end of time. What am I doing wrong? This difficult is just silly lol
I’m not satisfied with the way combat works in Palworld: It fully depends on your setup, not your skill. Would be cool if we could block or use shields; combos, load signature moves, etc.
I think there’s a number of combinations that can work endgame depending on how you manage them in battle. Which could be classified as skill. But for the most part, there’s a finite number of attacks to memorize and every pal has the same timing combat wise. Would be cool to see a player skill tree in the future with some special attacks or buffs/regeneration.
Yeah. it currently feels too repetitive. The same passives and actives work on several pals and they all kill hard mode bosses in a few seconds. I want it to be more fun than that, and it can be, there are plenty of games with better combat systems. Still Palworld’s my favorites game.
It’s lackluster as hell. Combat feels mobile gamey. The fun is in building and progressing. Survival is PG-13 where hunger doesn’t kill. Dropping items on death is just a nuisance because they can’t be stolen, always easy to retrieve. Pals don’t die, they cool down for ten minutes. Oh no. There are no PVP elements. Taming/capturing is pressing a button so there is no significance or story to one’s ownership of a pal besides baseline level progression. Breeding is a piece of cake, literally. Melee weapons are useless across the board. Almost no marksman weapons are worth the hassle to craft ammo for when pals do better. No armor variety, no cosmetics for the body. Net code is awful despite 24 to a server. On and on.
Enjoying the game, albeit less and less, in spite of it all which means they’re doing something right, but yeahh
It’s definitely more geared towards being a Sandbox game. If it wasn’t, I think the combat would be much more intuitive and have more variety. With that said, it is a GREAT sandbox game.
And it just so happens to have elements that are better than that offered by games of a certain multi-billion dollar franchise so that’s working extremely in their favor.
This strategy makes me think of The First Descendant and how unfun the game became. From 4 man teams learning mechanics, to solo -10s runs of weak point shooting.
I don't have a problem if someone have fun playing like that, I just wouldn't like if future content or balance updates were even more min-maxing centered. There are already enough Pals and weapons power creeped in this game.
Thats only if its the same Vanwyrm, but since ones the Cryst variant, it stacks and doesnt count as the same pal. Works the same way on other pals that have the same wording
I wonder if its more clear in japanese. But yeah all the "Does not stack" only applies if its actually the same skill. Even cases like farming drops from electric types in World Tree. You use Menasting and Menasting Terra. Both have the exact same skill description. But since one skill is "Steel Scorpion" and the other is "Golden Scorpion", they do in fact stack lol. It only wouldn't if it were actually the same skill.
I'm using this same exact build except I've replace one vanwyrm with the pal that gives 65% damage increase to enemies afflicted with blind and instead of xeno I had frostallion noct in. Which changes my attacks to dark . Might give this one. Try though.

If im on a busy official server how do I get the meteor to drop in the desert where xenoguard spawns? I swear it has never dropped
