Palworld is a new open world survival simulator. You will find yourself on the Palpagos Islands, inhabited by unusual creatures - Palami or in Russian - Buddies.
In our guide, you will learn in detail: where to start exploring the new world, how to build a base and tame the first pals, as well as about some errors that can make it difficult to start the game.
Where to start exploring the world of Palov
One of the main goals of the game is to create your own base and develop it. First of all, you need to set up a workbench. Create pickaxe and ax to facilitate the extraction of resources: wood and stone.
Choose the optimal place to build a base and study in the tab "Technologies" "Container for Pals." In it you can store captured Pals, as well as use them for work at your base.
It is important that the “Container for Pals” is improved, and with this the opportunity to add another Pal as a worker opens up.
The Pals themselves are caught using "Pal-spheres", which must be studied there in the tab "Technologies".
There are a total of six types in the game "Pal-sphere", but at the beginning only the simplest one is available. With its help you can catch low-level Pals.
In order to catch Pal you need to weaken him and then use him on him "Pal-sphere". The less health Pal has, the easier it will be to catch him.
Chikipi, Lamboll and Cattiva are the first Pals you will meet in the game. They are not unique, so they are mainly used on the farm.
Best Pals for the Early Game
The first Pals you find do a good job in combat and farming. But on the starting island and near it you can find Pals, who will provide your base with the greatest increase in resources and effectiveness in battle. For example, Lymphunk, which is good at cutting down trees.
You can find it here:
For combat you will need such Pals as Daedrim, Foxpark and Hukrath.
Feature Foxpark is his fire attacks. And in the future, he can upgrade the “Flamethrower” ability, which will be very useful in battle with enemies. Foxpark lives near the starting island:
A Hucrats and Daedrim found in this area:
It is important that Hukrath and Daedrim appear only at night.
In the early stages of the game, you should be careful in night raids, since the hero freezes in the dark. We'll look at how to protect ourselves from this below.
the change of night and day
Like many other survival games, Palworld also has change of daily cycles. During the day you will not notice any debuffs, but at night, as mentioned above, your hero may freeze from the cold. In addition, visibility deteriorates at night.
There are several ways to protect yourself from the unpleasant effects of darkness.
- Torch will be available to you from the 1st technology level. It allows you to both warm up and illuminate the space around.
- Bonfire also warms, but you have to stay close to it.
- Cloth will protect you from the night cold. It is studied at the 4th level of technology and is created from fabric, which, in turn, is obtained from wool from the Lambolls. To do this you need to study "Pasture for livestock".
At the early stage of the game, these items will be enough to ensure more or less comfortable movement in the dark.
Tips to help you make the early game easier
Don't attack friendly NPCs
Palworld has a wanted system. As soon as you attack a friendly NPC, a status will appear on your hero "Wanted" and the local police will start hunting him.
If this happens, you can get rid of the unpleasant status in several ways:
- Die. This will completely remove the status, but you will have to return to the place of death to pick up your things.
- Run away. The most effective, but difficult way, allowing both to save things in the backpack and the life of the hero.
- Remove witnesses before the police arrive. If your hero dies while eliminating witnesses, his status will still remain.
Oddly enough, but NPCs in Palworld, just like Palov, can be caught in the Pal-sphere. This is much more difficult to do, but it is possible. After this, the status will also appear on your hero "Wanted".
Off-base construction
A base can only be created using a Pal container, but you can take the resources for the workbench with you on your travels. When going on your next outing, stock up on a small amount of resources that can help you out, for example, if night falls.
Study Palov
In Palworld, each Pal has its own characteristics. Someone, for example, Lamboll and Cremis, are better suited for working on the base and obtaining wool. And, for example, Hukrat and Foxpark for battle. You can find out more about Pals in the tab "Encyclopedia of Palov".
In addition, Palov can be improved. This will require level 6 technology and a new building - Monument to Power.
Through the monument you can both upgrade your character and the selected Pal. To upgrade your companions, you need to collect their souls, which lie in different places on the island. You can determine the most valuable characteristics for each individual Pal from its task. There are 4 characteristics in total:
- Maximum HP,
- Attack Power,
- Protection,
- Speed of work.
For Pals working at the base, the best characteristic will be the speed of work, and for those that you take with you on forays: attack power and maximum HP.
It is not recommended to upgrade the first found Pals, such as Lamboll and Chikipi, since the souls of the Pals are a valuable resource that is better invested in other companions.
Protect the Pals
They are your main companions. After difficult fights, your Pals can suffer greatly. Fortunately, they restore their own health, but they also have other scales. For example, "Reason". Try to keep this scale filled so that your Pals do not slack off from work. And to maintain them in optimal condition, it is necessary to build a bed for each of the workers and a feeding trough.
If Pal died for some reason, then you can take him to the base and put him in "Container for Pals". It will take 10 minutes to resurrect him.
Later you will have the opportunity to create "Medieval pharmaceutical table", on which medicines are created.
Complete tasks
There are two types of missions in Palworld: tutorial and Pal Container missions. Completing training tasks will help you feel more confident in the vastness of the Palpagos Islands, and completing “Container for Pals” tasks will allow you to pump up the level of the base and add new Pals to it, and therefore obtain more resources.
Choosing the optimal location for building a base
You can survive the first nights without any problems by building a base in any place you like. But as you explore the world and progress further, you will need the most optimal place to build a base. When looking for such a place, you can rely on our tips:
- Abundance of resources. Look around the area to make sure there is plenty of wood and stone.
- Fast travel points. Palworld has a large open world in which you will have to navigate both on riding Palais and on foot. Since your base itself is a teleportation point, it is worth considering places that have few fast travel points.
- Open space. In the early stages of the game, your buildings will not take up much space, but the further technology develops, the more space you will need for buildings. It is also important that your base site has a level surface for construction.
Play with friends
Palworld, like many other survival games, offers multiplayer mode for up to 32 players. Teaming up with friends is quite easy.
When starting a new game on the world settings screen, select in the line "Cooperative Game" "ON" button.
It is important that it is better to choose as a host the player who has the most powerful hardware, since the smooth play of other session participants depends on this.
Then create your character and start the game. In the settings menu you will be able to see the invitation code with which other players can join your session.
Other participants need to select from the main menu "Join a multiplayer game (invite code)"
, then enter the code and connect to the game.
Possible problems
Inability to connect to the server.
This error may occur due to high load on the Palworld servers itself. The developers recommend trying to connect several times in a row, or wait a while.
We hope our guide has helped you get started in Palworld and learn the basics to get the best start in the game.
