Raid Boss Update is Live in Palworld

The biggest addition to Palworld is the inclusion of Raid Boss Pals, specifically Bellanoir. They’re summoned at the Summoning Altar and can be two difficulty levels, regular and Extreme. You can’t catch Raid Boss Pals, but they do drop eggs when defeated.

New Items include more Training Manuals, Ability Glass, Multiclimate Undershirt, and the Ancient Technical Manual. You can also find fruit that boosts the corresponding stat when fed to a Pal. The Electric Egg Incubator gives you more options when it comes to breeding. Along with the new items, there were changes to base building, bug fixes, and general balance improvements.

The patch notes also mention future content updates in the works, looking to release in the summer with a new island, new pals, tower bosses, and more set to make waves in the survival game. For more on the game, including quest walkthroughs, where to find all the mineshafts, and how to get the new items, head to our Palworld guide hub.
