Alpha Pals are a stronger version of regular Pals that can be found in various locations around the Palpagos Islands. There are no restrictions as to when you can fight these Pals, but they do have levels. These Pals are much harder to catch, and you will need to know where to look to find them. The guide below goes over all the places that you can find Alpha Pals, including which ones can spawn inside of dungeons.

What Are Alpha Bosses in Palworld?¶

Alpha Bosses are larger versions of Pals that come with higher stats than normal. They are bosses that wander the overworld and, depending on your level, may take a team of players to take down. Alpha Pals can also be found at the end of dungeons. All Alpha Pals can be caught in the game, and with the exception of Legendaries, you can find smaller, easier-to-obtain versions wandering around the map. All Alpha Pals will have a lower catch rate, forcing you to use better Pal Spheres when trying to catch them. If you use a low-level Pal Sphere, it will just bounce off. This can also happen if you haven’t lowered the Alpha’s health enough.

We recommend only challenging an Alpha when you are at the same level and have a full team, or at least some Pals that have a type advantage. You should note that Lucky Pals, while similar, are not considered to be Alpha Pals. For more on Lucky Pals and how to find them, check out our helpful guide here.

Overworld Alpha Bosses¶

These bosses are found in marked areas around the overworld. Once you get close enough to an Alpha Boss, a circle with the Pals picture will show up on the map, and you can hover over it to see the Pals level. In some cases, Alpha Pals are found in Sealed Realms. These are mini arenas that you can enter. Once inside, you will find the Alpha Pal surrounded by smaller Pals in a large room. These fights are a bit harder as you are taking on multiple targets with less room to dodge.

You can fight Alpha Pals multiple times, and they will drop items from a loot list each time you fight them. This is especially true when entering the harder Sealed Realms. This is a good way to earn extra money in the game. In addition to this, Alpha Pals will also drop Ancient Parts, which are needed to unlock special technology. The table below goes over all the Alpha Pals in the game and where to find them.

Palworld Overworld Alpha Cooldown Timer¶

The time it takes for an Alpha Pal to respawn seems to be around one hour. This keeps players from farming them back-to-back, but an easy way to help the time pass is by going around catching all the Alpha Pals that are within your level range.

Dungeon Alpha Bosses¶

There will be a single Alpha Pal at the end of every dungeon in the game. These Pals spawn from a random pool of possible Pals, with some being rarer than others. There are several dungeons in the game, most of which have similar names. These generally share the same spawn pool when they have the same name. The types of dungeons, the areas where you can find them, and the Alpha Pals that can spawn in them can be found in the table below.

Dungeon	Level	Area	Possible Alpha Spawns
Hillside Cavern	13	Around Windswept Hills	Cattiva, Celaray, Chikipi, Daedream, Depresso, Eikthyrdeer, Fuack, Fuddler, Gumoss, Hoocrates, Killamari, Tombat

Palworld Dungeon Cooldown Timer¶

Dungeons don’t have a cooldown timer so you can run them back-to-back to try and get the Alpha Pal you want to spawn. Keep in mind that in dungeons, smaller Pals of the same species will always spawn around the Alpha Pal, making the fight a bit harder. It’s best to defeat or catch these smaller Pals first to give yourself a better chance at catching the Alpha Pal.
