Palworld Update v0.2.0.6 Patch Notes: New Raid Boss, Items, & More

(Estimated Read Time: 10 minutes)

Are you at the endgame in Palworld and are looking for additional challenges? The Palworld Update v0.2.0.6 satisfies that desire as it brings you a new feature – raids! This patch brings the first raid boss in Palworld, so let’s dive into this update and its offerings.

What’s in the Palworld Update v0.2.0.6?

Bellanoir, the new and first raid boss, has descended into Palworld with Update v0.2.6. A raid boss is unlike the typical Alpha Pals you normally find walking around the map. Instead, you must gather slabs and then place those items at the new Summoning Altar to summon the boss. It’s important to mention that you can’t capture Bellanoir normally. However, a Pal egg containing this boss may drop after defeating it. If you feel confident about your skills and Pals’ abilities, you can also summon an “extreme” version of Bellanoir. This harder variant has higher stats than the standard raid boss, delivering massive damage to players and Pals with its powerful attacks. Aside from the Bellanoir, the Palworld Update v0.2.0.6 adds new content to this survival monster-catching game. One notable addition is the Training Manual, which adds experience points to specific Pals. There’s also the Ancient Technical Manual that gives Ancient Technology Points. Pal Trainers can also don new gear, thanks to this update. For instance, there’s the new Ring of Mercy, which prevents Pals from getting knocked out from attacks. This new accessory is ideal for capture runs, preventing your attacks (or your Pals’ abilities) from defeating other Pals, especially rare ones. The Palworld Update v0.2.0.6 also includes various improvements. For example, placing a Kelpsea at the Ranch now produces Pal Fluids. Alternatively, place a Dumud at that station, and it'll produce High-Quality Pal Oil.
