Summary

  • Palworld players have discovered a unique boss fight strategy that overwhelms bosses using Pals at their base.
  • While this strategy may provide short-term benefits, it's not ideal in the long run as players should focus on building bases near natural resources for mining and improving their base.
  • The number of Pals that players can have at their base depends on the level of the base, with a maximum of 15 Pals by default, but it can be increased to 20 in the settings.

Palworld players have come up with a ridiculous boss fight strategy that makes defeating any of the boss Pals in the game easy, though it comes with a big catch. Palworld is an open world survival game with all kinds of activities for players to pursue. One of the most rewarding things players can do in Palworld is hunt down the boss Pals that are dotted around the map. Boss Pals are larger than their counterparts that can be found in the wild or hatched from eggs, and are typically equipped with powerful moves and sizable health bars.

It's recommended that Palworld players wait until they reach certain levels before tackling specific bosses in the game. Players have put together helpful Palworld maps that show what level players should be for each of the game's zones, but those with friends to help or a powerful roster of Pals can still take on creatures that are multiple levels ahead of them.

Palworld Server Costs Are Incredibly Expensive

Palworld developer Pocketpair reveals the eye-watering amount of money that it's currently spending on the game's multiplayer servers.

One interesting Palworld boss fight strategy has gone viral on Reddit for its absurdity and effectiveness. In the clip, Reddit user Jemsona has constructed two bases near Jormuntide, a powerful Water/Dragon-type Pal that can be found on both the East and West sides of the world map. Typically, players are limited to using just one Pal in battle, but since they are able to have up to 15-20 Pals at their base, and Pals aggressively defend bases, the player was able to completely overwhelm the Jormuntide with a jaw-dropping barrage of attacks.

This wild Palworld boss fight strategy isn't necessarily ideal, as bosses aren't usually found close to areas that would be advantageous to build a base. While this strat has some short-term benefits, in the long-term, it would be best to build a base near some natural resources that allow Pals to mine ore and other helpful materials. These materials are crucial for improving one's base and building necessary items in Palworld, plus players will eventually become strong enough to make relatively short work of the bosses they find in the game anyway.

How Many Pals Can Be at Your Base?

Anyone interested in trying this wild Palworld strategy for themselves may want to know how many Pals they can have at their base at any given time. The number of Pals that can be assigned to one's base depends on the level of said base. As players upgrade their base by completing mission objectives, they are allowed to assign more Pals, with a max of 15 using the default settings. However, it's possible to pop into Palworld's settings and increase the number of Pals to 20.
