Palworld is a game that encourages players to explore every inch of the map in order to find secrets, hidden items, and useful resources. Dungeons, instanced areas that have players exploring caves before defeating a final Alpha Boss, are one such secret.
If you’ve played Palworld for any length of time, you’ll have stumbled across a Dungeon at least once. They show up in the game as a black hole in the cliff face surrounded by trees or other foliage, which help them to blend into the area, and when you approach them, you’re given information about t💟he level of the final Alpha Pal that you’ll face within.
The problem arises when you go back to a place where you’ve previously found a Dungeon. In Palworld, these Dungeons are not always present in the same place and work on a timer, disappearing once that countdown ends and reappearing elsewhere after some time. In other words, they’re time-limited, so you’ll want to dive in whenever you find one.
There are a variety of different Dungeons within Palworld, ranging from the easiest to complete at level 13 all the way up to the most difficult anꦫd recently added Feybreak Dungeons, which sit at level🦋 55. Each cavern can only spawn in sp𓂃ecific locations, but each offers a chance to encounter different Alpha Pals and usefu🐼l loot.
Alpha Pal bosses
Each Dungeon has an Alpha Pal waiting at the end of it for you to defeat, and in doing so, you’ll earn some rewards. The Alpha Pal at the end will depend on which of the dungeons you’re taking on, so it’s worth learning who can show up where.
Dungeon rewards
There are chests scattered throughout dungeons that contain the usual items, like Gold, Bread, and other goodies. The real rewards come at the end of each Dungeon though, because not only do you get Ancient Civilization Parts♉ for defeating the final Alpha Pal in every Dungeon, there are two chests waiting for you before you l♐eave.
In these chests, you’ll often find Schematics, valuable treasures, and accessories that can boost a myriad of stats. On top of this, there is a chance that you will get some Technical Manuals, which can be used to gain 𒈔extra Technical Points.
