Palworld 1.0 Endgame Checklist: What to Do at Level 60+

The "dead game" verdict people handed Palworld during early access did not survive 1.0, and the reason is simple: the release version has more boss fights, more islands and more collectibles than almost anyone actually clears. This is the endgame board — every tower boss and its hard-mode rematch, all five raids, the 90 Alpha Pals, the dungeon and collectible sweeps, and which farms are worth your time once you are past level 60.

The Endgame Board at a Glance

Here is the whole board in one place. If you have finished the story and are wondering what is left, the honest answer is most of it — the fights that carry the real reward tables are all gated behind the point where the campaign stops pushing you. The three lines that matter most are the tower rematches, the four summonable raids and their Ultra versions, and the Alpha sweep, because those three feed each other: raid slabs come out of expeditions, tower clears pay Ancient Technology Points, and Alphas are where your best fighters come from.

Two rows on that table are bigger than they look. The 170 dungeon entrances are not 170 dungeons — entrances rotate, so the same handful of cavern layouts keep reappearing at fresh mouths, which is what makes cavern farming repeatable instead of finite. And the 41,616 breeding combinations are the reason a completed Paldeck is a genuine project rather than a checklist: plenty of Pals are far easier to hatch than to hunt.

Every Tower Boss and Its Hard Mode

Tower bosses are the spine of the endgame. Each one is a normal Pal wearing enormous multipliers, and beating a tower is the main faucet for the Ancient Technology Points that unlock the Ancient technologies. Nine of the ten offer a hard rematch, and the rematch is not a modest bump — it is a different fight with its own reward table. Panthalus is the exception, a one-and-done encounter with no harder version.

Read the multipliers as multiples of that specific Pal's own stats, not as a cross-boss ranking — Astralym's 405× is applied to Astralym's base HP, so it is not directly comparable to Grizzbolt's 100×. What does compare cleanly is the damage-taken column, and that is where the rematches get nasty: Grizzbolt on hard absorbs 90% of everything you throw at it.

Tower boss	Element	First fight HP	Rematch HP	Rematch damage	Your damage that lands
Astralym	—	×40	×405	×5	45%
Faleris	Fire	×27	×110	×8	15%
Orserk	Dragon / Electric	×25	×110	×10	15%
Grizzbolt	Electric	×12	×100	×13	10%
Lyleen	Grass	×25	×100	×10	12%
Shadowbeak	Dark	×28	×100	×12	25%
Selyne	Dark / Neutral	×54	×93	×9	20%
Shaolong	Dragon / Water	×50	×88	×12	20%
Bastigor	Ice	×62	×75	×10	18%
Panthalus	Water	×42	No rematch	—	—

The pattern to take from that table: the first fights are HP checks and the rematches are damage checks. Bastigor has the toughest opening fight at ×62 HP but one of the softer rematches, while Grizzbolt is a pushover on the first pass at ×12 and then turns into the hardest damage race in the tower set. If a rematch is stonewalling you, more attack rarely fixes it — the 10-25% damage-taken figures mean the fix is a properly condensed Pal, not a bigger gun. Every tower is pinned on the interactive map if you are still working out where they are.

The Three Hard Fights With Real Numbers

Three of the hard rematches are the ones players actually get stuck on, and all three are level 80 fights sitting between half a million and 570,000 HP. Auri and Shaolong is the gatekeeper — two of the three only open up once it falls — and Victor and Shadowbeak instead asks you to clear its normal version first. There is no shortcut past the requirement list: turn up with an uncondensed Pal and the fight times out rather than kills you.

Hard-mode fight	Level	HP	Unlock	Full guide
Victor & Shadowbeak	80	570,000	Clear it on Normal first	Victor and Shadowbeak guide
Saya & Selyne	80	567,300	Defeat Auri and Shaolong	Saya and Selyne guide
Axel & Orserk	80	514,800	Defeat Auri and Shaolong	Axel and Orserk guide

Do Axel and Orserk first. It is the lowest HP pool of the three and its escorts share the boss's Electric weakness, so a single Ground attacker clears the whole arena — the other two make you cover more than one element. All three want the same shopping list before you start: a level 80 Pal, +20 Pal Soul upgrades across HP, attack and defense, trust 7 or higher, four-star condensed and awakened. Ranking up and condensing is the step that actually unblocks these, not a weapon upgrade.

All Five Raid Bosses

Raids are the heaviest encounters in the game and the only ones you summon yourself, at one of the 16 Summoning Altars scattered around the map. Each is built from a Slab — four fragments crafted into a summoning item — and four of the five have an Ultra version at level 80 that turns the same fight into an endurance test. The multipliers below are the highest numbers anywhere in Palworld, and again they scale each Pal's own stats rather than a shared baseline.

Raid boss	Element	Summon level	HP	Damage	Ultra HP	Ultra damage	Ultra damage you land
Xenolord	Dark / Dragon	65	×280	×5	×420	×13	9%
Hartalis	Neutral	70	×180	×4	×320	×13	20%
Blazamut Ryu	Dragon / Fire	55	×140	×2	×500	×8	9%
Bellanoir Libero	Dark	45	×120	×2	×420	×10	9%
Bellanoir	Dark	—	×120	×1.5	No Ultra	—	—

Start at Bellanoir Libero and work down the list — level 45 with only ×2 damage is the gentlest introduction to raid mechanics, and the slab economy works the same way for every one of them. Blazamut Ryu Ultra carries the single biggest HP multiplier in the game at ×500, but Xenolord Ultra is the harder fight: ×13 damage combined with armor that lets through only about 9% of yours. The fastest route to any slab is the hard Pal Expeditions, where the right two regions each pay a guaranteed fragment per run — two rotations and you have a slab without swinging at anything.

There is one more raid-adjacent target worth knowing about: beating the Highly Modified Pals yields the Modified Pal's Contaminated Core, one of the keys to the sealed chamber under the World Tree. That is the thread most players never pull.

The 90 Alpha Pals

Alphas are the open-world field bosses, 90 of them, and they run from level 11 all the way to 79. They are also the most misread fight in the game: a standard Alpha does not get bonus HP. It fights at its normal health pool and instead takes only 24% of your damage — roughly four times tougher than the same Pal in the wild, without a single extra hit point. A handful of the early ones are softer at 48%, which is why the low-level Alphas feel like a different category of fight entirely.

Alpha	Level	Element	What makes it hard
Celesdir Noct	79	Dark	Joint highest-level Alpha in the game
Aegidron	79	Dragon / Ground	Joint highest level, and a dual typing that resists most single-element teams
Mycora	78	Grass	Level 78 with the standard 24% damage-taken wall
Moldron Cryst	78	Ice / Ground	Ice/Ground pairing leaves few clean counters
Renjishi	78	Fire	Highest-level Fire Alpha
Dualith	75	Ground / Grass	Appears at two separate levels, 55 and 75
Whalaska Ignis	74	Ice / Fire	Ice and Fire on the same Pal at level 74
Neptilius	60	Water	Legendary: ×3.74 HP, the biggest Alpha HP multiplier in the game
Frostallion	60	Ice	Legendary: ×2.73 HP, and only 18% of your damage lands
Jetragon	70	Dragon	Legendary: ×2.67 HP, and the fastest mount in the game once caught

Work the list bottom-up by level rather than by name. The five legendary Alphas — Neptilius, Frostallion, Frostallion Noct, Jetragon and Paladius — are the ones worth catching rather than killing, because they double as your best mounts and raid attackers. Four of them also cut the damage you land to 18% on top of their HP multiplier; Neptilius stays at 24% but carries the heaviest health pool of the group. Everything else on the 90 is a hunt with a reward table, and the Alpha hunting route orders them so you are never fighting something ten levels above you by accident. Locations for all of them are on the interactive map.

170 Dungeon Entrances and 18 Sealed Realms

Palworld's underground splits in two. Caverns are repeatable dungeons whose entrances rotate around each region, every one ending in a boss room with a shot at Technology Books — including the Ancient ones. Sealed Realms are 18 fixed shrines, each sealing a single powerful Pal, and they pay out Ancient Civilization Parts. There are 10 named caverns in total — the full dungeon list has each one's spawn pool, boss lineup and chest loot side by side.

The Grasslands concentration is the useful bit: 48 entrances in the starter region means the cheapest cavern loop in the game is also the one nearest your first base, and it never runs dry because the mouths rotate. Late-game runs are a different calculation — Sky Island and Yakushima have a single entrance each, so you go there for what is inside rather than for volume. Every named cavern has its own breakdown of spawns, boss pool and chest loot, starting with the Feybreak Cavern guide and Sunreach Skies.

The Collectible Sweeps Almost Nobody Finishes

This is the quiet half of the endgame, and it is where the permanent power actually lives. Effigies and lotuses upgrade you rather than a Pal, which means they carry across every fight on this page and never get replaced by a better drop. The counts below are what is actually out there on the map — the Lifmunk ladder alone runs 15 ranks and costs 100 effigies to max, and there are 13 separate upgrade tracks feeding off the effigy pile.

Sweep	On the map	Why bother	Map view
Stat Lotuses	866	Permanent player stat increases — the biggest single pile of anything collectible	All 866 stat lotuses
Pal Effigies	360 + 47 in the World Tree	13 upgrade tracks, including the 15-rank capture power ladder	All 360 effigies
Skill Fruit	47 trees — 35 plus 12 in the World Tree	Teach skills your Pals will never learn on their own — see every skill fruit	All 35 skill fruit trees
Kinship Fruit	22	Raises trust, which several late fights quietly require	All 22 Kinship Fruit
Oil Fields	185	The rigs behind bulk Coralum Ore and Dog Coins	All 185 oil field points
Elemental-Sealed Chests	109	Locked until you turn up with the matching element	All 109 sealed chests
Enemy Camps	58	Faction camps with chest loot and a Gold payout per clear	All 58 enemy camps
Grade 4 Pal Egg Nests	26	The rarest egg tier out in the world	Open the interactive map

If you only sweep one of these, sweep the lotuses. At 866 pins they are everywhere, they need no fight to collect, and the stat gains are permanent in a way that a better weapon is not. Effigies are the second call because the capture power ladder makes every subsequent Alpha and legendary catch cheaper — the full effigy track breakdown has the exact costs per rank. Kinship Fruit is the sleeper at only 22 pins: trust level 7 is a hard requirement on the hard-mode tower fights, and raising trust is slow without them.

Farms Worth Running at Level 60+

Past level 60 your bottleneck stops being levels and becomes materials, schematics and Pal Souls. These are the farms that actually move those needles, and the useful thing about them is how little overlap there is — each one owns a resource nothing else drops in quantity, so you pick by what you are short of rather than by what pays best overall.

What you need	Best source	The number	Guide
Coralum Ore	Crates on the large oil rig	15-20 per crate	How to Get Coralum Ore: Locations and Uses
Legendary weapon & armor schematics	Rank 2 salvage wrecks	6 schematic lines running to Legendary	Palworld Salvaging Guide
Dog Coins	Junk hauls while fishing the Dark Island and Sky Island	18-22 per haul	Palworld Fishing Guide
Applied Handbooks	Rank 2 wrecks, or 300 Dog Coins each at the Medal Shop	All 12 in the wreck pool	All Handbooks and the Best Pals to Use Them On
Ancient Technology Points	Tower boss clears, plus Ancient Technical Manuals from rank 1 wrecks	1-3 manuals per pull	Full Technology Tree
Giant Pal Souls	Rank 2 salvage wrecks	1 per pull	How to Rank Up Pals
Raid Slab fragments	Hard Pal Expeditions in the right two regions	Guaranteed one per run	Pal Expeditions and Rewards
Radiant Gems	Element-specific sources across all 9 elements	9 element variants	How to Farm Radiant Gems
Gold	Hunting Mimog	8,500-11,000 coins per drop	How to Farm Gold Fast: Best Money Making Methods

The single highest-leverage entry there is the expedition line. Slab fragments are guaranteed from the two hard expeditions of the right region, which means the entire raid tier — the biggest fights in the game — is unlocked by sending Pals away and doing something else. Set those running before you go do anything on this page. The second-best habit is carrying salvage magnets everywhere: rank 2 wrecks are the only source that pays Legendary schematics, Applied Handbooks and Giant Pal Souls from the same pull.

The Arena, and What to Do When You Run Out

The Arena is the endgame's structured ladder: seven ranks from Bronze through Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond and Master up to Legend, each with a first-clear reward table and a smaller repeat table. It is the cleanest test of whether your team actually works, because you cannot out-gear it with a better rifle — the Pals do the fighting. If your roster clears Legend, your roster will clear anything else on this page.

The Short Answer

If you have just finished the story: sweep the 866 stat lotuses and the effigy tracks first, then clear the ten towers on normal for Ancient Technology Points. Send hard Pal Expeditions out on a loop for Slab fragments and work the four summonable raids from Bellanoir Libero up to Xenolord. Condense and soul-max one attacker to four stars with trust 7, then take the hard-mode rematches in order — Axel and Orserk at 514,800 HP first, Victor and Shadowbeak at 570,000 last. The 90 Alphas and the 170 dungeon entrances fill every gap in between.
