Knock em' down.

Progression in Palworld is tied to taking down various bosses located around the open world, and you’ll need different Pals and strategies to beat them. That’s because each boss has a specific type, such as Electric, Grass, or Fire. And as you know, every type has a specific weakness. Here we’ll be breaking down every single Palworld boss in order, where you can find them, and how to get the upper hand in battles.

All Palworld Boss Battles

Zoe & Grizzbolt

Zoe and her companion Grizzbolt, an electric wolf-like creature, are the first major bosses you’ll face in the game. Located at the Rayne Syndicate’s Tower, they pose a significant challenge with their electric attacks.

  • Location: Rayne Syndicate’s Tower
  • Type: Electric
  • Weakness: Ground

Strategy: To counteract their electric prowess, it’s recommended to bring Ground-type Pals like Gummoss into the fight. Use pillars as cover and keep your distance to avoid Grizzbolt’s swift and powerful attacks.

Lily & Lyleen

Nestled in the Free Pal Alliance Tower, the green-haired Lily and her botanical beast Lyleen pose a formidable challenge. They specialize in unleashing potent Grass-type attacks that can incapacitate your Pals.

  • Location: Free Pal Alliance Tower
  • Type: Grass
  • Weakness: Fire

Strategy: To best this duo, bring some of your strongest Fire-type Pals into the fray. Keep a safe distance to avoid Lyleen’s paralyzing poisons and homing pollen puffs.

Axel & Orserk

Axel and Orserk, another electric pair, reside in the Tower of the Brothers of the Eternal Pyre. Orserk is known for his vicious shock attacks, which can devastate even the toughest Pals.

  • Location: Brothers of the Eternal Pyre Tower
  • Type: Electric
  • Weakness: Ground

Strategy: Ground-type Pals are your best allies in this fight. Avoid Orserk’s thunder trident projectiles by using pillars as cover.

Marcus & Faleris

Marcus and Faleris, located at the PIDF Tower, are no ordinary foes. Faleris, a predatory bird, unleashes a barrage of Fire-type attacks from the air, making the battle significantly tougher.

  • Location: PIDF Tower
  • Type: Fire
  • Weakness: Water

Strategy: Water-type Pals are your best bet against this duo. Keep your distance and use pillars as cover to avoid Faleris’ attacks.

Victor & Shadowbeak

Victor and his Dark beast Shadowbeak are the most formidable bosses in Palworld. Located at the PAL Genetic Research Unit Tower, their Dark-type moves can wreak havoc if not properly countered.

  • Location: PAL Genetic Research Unit Tower
  • Type: Dark
  • Weakness: Dragon

Strategy: Dragon-type Pals can counter their offense effectively. Keep your distance and aim for critical hits to whittle down their substantial health pool.

Hopefully, this serves as a handy reference as you travel about the map knocking them off one by one! But remember that bosses in the game can be respawned if you want to run it back.
