Palworld Paladius Capture Guide: Location, Breeding, Tips & Tricks

Introduced during the game’s Early Access launch, Paladius is a towering Pal that embodies the spirit of a noble knight. This Neutral-type Pal wields a lance and shield with unmatched skill. As a loyal companion, Paladius stands out for its ability to protect and provide, making it an ideal ally. So, if you’re looking into letting this gallant creature join your ranks, here’s what you need to know about capturing Paladius in Palworld.

Paladius Location in Palworld

Pal trainers can find Paladius as an Alpha boss at the northeasternmost part of the map in the desert biome. In particular, this Legendary Pal's location is at the northwest of the Deep Sand Dunes fast-travel point. Remember, Paladius doesn’t spawn in any other part of the map except this spot. This Pal also doesn’t spawn inside dungeons.

Hatching Paladius (Breeding Guide)

Hatching a Paladius is guaranteed if you breed two Paladius parents at the Breeding Center. Alternatively, find a Huge Common Egg and hatch it using an Egg Incubator. Doing so may let a Paladius appear from the hatched egg. However, it’s also important to mention that a Kingpaca can also hatch from a Huge Common Egg. Note: The image above shows the standard Common Egg. The Huge Common Egg is generally as large as the typical player model!

How to Defeat and Capture Paladius

As an Alpha Pal, Paladius in Palworld won’t be going down without a fight. So, bring your best weapons and equip your armor with the best defenses. The Rocket Launcher and Assault Rifle are excellent weapons for your Pal trainer to use and deal damage to Paladius. As for your armor, the Cold Resistant Pal Metal Armor and Heat Resistant Pal Metal Armor provide adequate defense stats that can also shield you from harm against the harsh temperatures of the desert. Let's not forget about your Pal allies, who can help whittle down Paladius's health to a critical level. Since Paladius is a Normal-type Pal, summoning Dark Pals is your best choice for this fight. Some excellent examples include Shadowbeak, Frostallion Noct, and Hoocrates. Hoocrates, in particular, can be an invaluable ally in a fight against Paladius, thanks to its Partner Skill called Dark Knowledge. With it, Hoocrates buffs your party’s Dark-type Pals’ attack stat, allowing them to deal more damage to Paladius than normal. Once Paladius' health is in the red, use your Legendary Pal Spheres to try to capture it. Normal, Mega, and Giga Spheres generally don't work in trying to capture Paladius. With enough luck, your Legendary Pal Sphere throwing attempts will give you a successful catch, making you the Paladius’ new Pal master.
