How to beat Palworld tower bosses
- Exploit the element — a boss weak to Ground (like Grizzbolt) takes far more damage from Ground Pals such as Anubis. Match the "Weak to" column above.
- Bring a mount — a fast flying or ground mount lets you circle-strafe the boss and dodge its heavy attacks. See the best mounts guide.
- Stock healing — bring high-tier food and medicine; there's a time limit, not an instant fail, so survivability wins.
- Upgrade your gear — better weapons and a higher-tier Pal team make every tower far quicker.
Once you know which counter Pal you want, use the breeding calculator to plan the shortest route to it, and check its active skills and passives before the fight. For the giant field bosses scattered across the map, see the Alpha Pals list.
Tower bosses FAQ
How many tower bosses are there in Palworld?
There are 5 faction tower bosses in Palworld 1.0 — Zoe & Grizzbolt (Rayne Syndicate), Lily & Lyleen (Free Pal Alliance), Axel & Orserk (Brothers of the Eternal Pyre), Marcus & Faleris (PIDF) and Victor & Shadowbeak (PAL Genetic Research Unit). Each is a large boss version of a single Pal with a big HP pool.
What is the best way to beat a tower boss?
Bring Pals of the element the boss is weak to, keep a fast mount to dodge its attacks, stock healing items, and stay mobile — tower bosses hit hard but have a strict time limit rather than an instant loss. Target its elemental weakness (shown above) for the fastest clear.
What Pal do you fight in the first Palworld tower?
The first tower boss is Grizzbolt (an Electric Pal, ~6,000 HP) fought alongside Zoe at the Rayne Syndicate Tower around level 15. Ground Pals like Anubis counter it hard.
Can you breed the tower boss Pals?
You can obtain normal versions of Grizzbolt, Lyleen, Orserk, Faleris and Shadowbeak, but the strongest (Shadowbeak) is catch-only and must be duplicated by breeding two of the same. Check each Pal's page for its exact breeding recipe.
