2 Combat Pals at a Time Glitch and the Necklace Method

Palworld only lets one Pal out to fight at a time, and the 2 combat Pals at a time glitch is the input trick players use to get around that limit. This guide covers the exact sequence, why the second Pal vanishes the moment you close the game, and the three necklaces that give you a permanent second fighter without touching an exploit at all.

Can You Have Two Combat Pals Out at Once?

Officially, no — the deploy slot holds one Pal, and sending out a second recalls the first. There are two ways around that. The glitch below squeezes a genuine extra fighter out of a summon-timing hole, but it is fiddly to land and dies with your session. The necklace route is the one worth building your loadout around: a collar Pal sits in your party and fights alongside whatever you have deployed, forever, with no inputs to nail. Most players who want a permanent second body end up on Daedream and never look back.

Method	Works?	What you need	Survives a relog?
Summon-swap glitch	Yes, with practice	A downed Pal, a saddled mount, a third fighter	No — redo it every session
Daedream's Necklace	Yes	Daedream + 5 Leather, 10 Fiber, 10 Paldium Fragment	Yes — it is a normal item
Dazzi's Necklace	Yes	Dazzi + 15 Leather, 15 Fiber, 10 Copper Ingot, 20 Paldium Fragment	Yes
Dazzi Noct's Necklace	Yes	Dazzi Noct + 10 Leather, 30 Fiber, 10 Dark Fragment, 40 Paldium Fragment	Yes

2 Combat Pals Glitch Requirements

You need three specific party members before you start, and one of them has to be in a state most players avoid on purpose. The first slot is a Pal that has been knocked out cold — the one showing the red incapacitated panel, not one that is merely hurt. The second is any mount you have already built the gear for, because the ride input is what holds the extra body in the world. The third is whatever you actually want swinging: pick real damage here, since this Pal is the reason you are doing the trick in the first place.

Requirement	Detail	Notes
A knocked-out Pal	Fully downed, red panel — not low HP	This is the Pal the game should refuse to deploy
A mount with its gear built	140 of the 288 Pals are rideable	Cheapest entry is a Rushoar Saddle at tech level 6
A third combat Pal	Your actual damage dealer	Ends up as the second body on the field
Free party space	All three in the active team at once	Swapping from the Pal Box mid-attempt resets your timing

How to Do the 2 Combat Pals at a Time Glitch

The whole thing is a timing trick on the deploy input — you are asking the game to start three summon actions faster than it can finish resolving the first one. Step one is the wall almost everyone hits: flicking between the downed Pal and the party members either side of it until the incapacitated one actually appears. Expect a run of failed attempts before it takes. Once it lands, do not admire it — the next two inputs have to come fast or the state collapses and you start over.

When it works you finish with two Pals attacking at the same time and no downside in the fight itself. It is worth saying plainly that this is a bug, not a feature, so treat it as a toy rather than a build: it costs nothing to try, but nothing about it is guaranteed to survive the next update.

Why the Glitch Never Sticks

The extra Pal lives entirely in your current session. Quit to the menu, get disconnected, or close the game, and you load back in with a single deploy slot like everyone else — there is no saved flag to carry it over, so every play session starts from scratch with the full input sequence. Version 1.0.3 also went through the summon code for other reasons, fixing Pals that stopped fighting or stopped helping at base once deployed, and the notes for that patch never mention double summoning at all. Nothing there closes the trick, but it does mean this area of the game is actively being touched. If you want a second fighter you can rely on tomorrow, build a collar.

The Necklace Method: A Second Fighter With No Glitch

Four Pals in the game get a collar instead of a saddle, and three of those collars are combat gear: equip one, keep that Pal in your active team, and it fights beside you permanently while a completely separate Pal occupies your normal deploy slot. That is two Pals on the field, on demand, with zero timing involved. Daedream's Necklace is the obvious starting point — 5 Leather, 10 Fiber and 10 Paldium Fragment is close to free, and it is the lightest craft of the three. The fourth collar, Flopie's Necklace, is in the table for completeness: it makes Flopie hoover up dropped items instead of fighting, so it does not help here.

Pal Gear	Pal	Materials	Effect
Daedream's Necklace	Daedream	5 Leather, 10 Fiber, 10 Paldium Fragment	Fights at your side while another Pal is deployed
Dazzi's Necklace	Dazzi	15 Leather, 15 Fiber, 10 Copper Ingot, 20 Paldium Fragment	Same effect, Electric damage
Dazzi Noct's Necklace	Dazzi Noct	10 Leather, 30 Fiber, 10 Dark Fragment, 40 Paldium Fragment	Same effect, Dark and Electric damage
Flopie's Necklace	Flopie	10 Leather, 20 Fiber, 5 Copper Ingot, 15 Paldium Fragment	Auto-collects nearby drops — not a fighter

All four collars share one generic in-game icon, so the Pal portrait next to each row is the quick way to tell them apart. None of them appear in the technology tree either — they cost zero tech points, and the only real gate is owning the Pal.

Which Necklace Pal Should Ride Along?

Be honest about what you are getting: measured against other Pals, all three of these sit in D tier for combat, and none of them is carrying a fight on its own. The value is that they are free damage running in parallel with your real deploy — an extra body pulling aggro and chipping away while you and your main Pal do the work. Dazzi and Dazzi Noct both edge Daedream out on paper with 110 melee attack to his 100, and Dazzi Noct has the best defence of the trio at 75. Daedream still wins for most players on cost alone — his collar is a quarter of the material bill of Dazzi Noct's — and Dark damage covers a lot of the early and mid game. Pick Dazzi if you want Electric coverage in the slot, and Dazzi Noct if you are deep enough to have Dark Fragment lying around.

Pal	Element	HP	Melee Atk	Shot Atk	Defense	Top Move	Combat Tier
Daedream	Dark	70	100	75	60	Dark Whisp — 600 power	D
Dazzi	Electric	70	110	80	70	Thunderstorm — 600 power	D
Dazzi Noct	Dark / Electric	70	110	80	75	Dark Whisp — 600 power	D

Top move is the level 70 unlock in each case, so a low-level collar Pal is throwing much smaller numbers than that column suggests. Every one of the three is an XS Pal with a 1.0 capture rate, which means no sphere tier is wasted on them — see how catch rates and sphere tiers work if you want the maths behind that.

Where to Catch Daedream, Dazzi, and Dazzi Noct

Daedream is the easiest of the three to walk up to but only after dark — all 164 of its spawn points are night-only, and a third of them are packed into Sea Breeze Coast, right next to where most players start. Dazzi ignores the clock entirely across its 140 spots, but more than half sit in Anubis Dunes, so it is a desert trip rather than a stroll. Dazzi Noct is the awkward one: 135 spots clustered hard around Stone Pillar Cave Entrance, plus a level 60 alpha if you want the fight. Handy detail — Dazzi Noct drops a Dark Fragment every single time, which is exactly the material its own necklace asks for ten of.

Pal	Spawn Points	Time	Top Area	Map
Daedream	164	Night only	Sea Breeze Coast — 54 spots (32.9%)	View Daedream spawns
Dazzi	140	Day and night	Anubis Dunes — 74 spots (52.9%)	View Dazzi spawns
Dazzi Noct	135	Day and night	Stone Pillar Cave Entrance — 57 spots (42.2%)	View Dazzi Noct spawns

Pal Gear Workbench: Unlock and Cost

Collars are not built at a normal workbench. You need the Pal Gear Workbench, which unlocks at level 6 for 2 technology points and then costs a trivial pile of starter materials to place. Assign anything with Handiwork to it and the necklace comes out quickly. Level 6 is also where the first saddles appear, so a single trip to the tech tree covers both the mount you need for the glitch and the workbench that makes the glitch unnecessary.

Stacking a Mount on Top of a Collar Pal

The collar Pal is not tied to your deploy slot, which opens up a trick with no exploit attached: mount up, and your collar Pal keeps fighting while you ride. That is a Pal attacking, a mount under you, and your hands free — useful for kiting anything that hits hard on the ground. Any of the 140 rideable Pals works, and the entry cost is low if you have not built gear yet. Rushoar takes 3 Leather, 10 Stone and 5 Paldium Fragment at tech level 6, the same level as the workbench itself, and Foxparks unlocks at 6 as well.

Pal	Gear	Tech Level	Materials
Rushoar	Rushoar Saddle	6	3 Leather, 10 Stone, 5 Paldium Fragment
Foxparks	Foxparks' Harness	6	3 Leather, 5 Flame Organ, 5 Paldium Fragment
Melpaca	Melpaca Saddle	7	3 Leather, 5 Wool, 5 Paldium Fragment
Direhowl	Direhowl's Saddled Harness	9	10 Leather, 20 Wood, 15 Fiber, 10 Paldium Fragment
Eikthyrdeer	Eikthyrdeer Saddle	12	5 Leather, 20 Fiber, 10 Copper Ingot, 3 Horn, 15 Paldium Fragment

The Short Answer

The 2 combat Pals at a time glitch is real and it does put a second attacker on the field, but it is a per-session party trick: a downed Pal, a fast mount input, a fast dismount, and it is gone again the next time you load in. If what you actually want is two Pals fighting for you, catch Daedream at night, put down a Pal Gear Workbench at level 6, and spend 5 Leather on the collar. It is one of the cheapest crafts in the game and it does the job permanently — which is why it shows up on so many builds in our best partner skills rankings.
