How to Beat Every Tower Boss

Each tower boss has a unique element and moveset. Bring the right counters or get wiped in seconds.

🐼

Zoe & Grizzbolt

⚡ Electric

The first tower boss. Grizzbolt hits hard with Electric attacks but folds to Ground types. Don't overthink this one — just bring the right element.

⛰️ Ground Pals 🔱 Anubis 🐢 Digtoise 💡 Pro Tip: Catch a Rushoar early and breed it into a Ground counter using the Palworld Breeding Calculator before this fight. 🌺

Lily & Lyleen

🌿 Grass

Lyleen heals constantly and spams Grass AOEs. Fire types shut her down hard. Kill the adds first, then focus fire on Lyleen.

🔥 Fire Pals 🌋 Blazamut 🦊 Kitsun 💡 Pro Tip: Use our Palworld Catching Guide to grab a strong Foxparks early — evolve it or breed it up for this fight. ⚡

Axel & Orserk

🐉 Dragon/Electric

Orserk is fast, aggressive, and dual-typed. Ice and Ground both work — but Ice is safer because it also covers Orserk's Dragon side.

❄️ Ice Pals 🦄 Frostallion ⛰️ Ground Pals 💡 Pro Tip: This is where chain breeding pays off. Use the Palworld Breeding Calculator to breed a Frostallion before attempting this tower. 🦅

Victor & Shadowbeak

🌑 Dark

The hardest tower boss in the game. Shadowbeak is fast, hits like a truck, and has insane Dark-type AOEs. Dragon and Ice counters are mandatory.

🐉 Dragon Pals 🐉 Jetragon ❄️ Ice Pals 💡 Pro Tip: Don't attempt this without a full team of level 40+ Pals with Legend passives. Breed Jetragon using the Palworld Breeding Calculator — it's the hard counter. 🥚 Palworld Breeding Calculator — Breed Your Counters 🎯 Palworld Catching Guide — Catch the Bases 🏆 Tier List 2026 — See All Rankings 🔫 Arm Yourself

Weapons & Gear That Win Fights

Your Pal isn't the only one fighting. The right weapon turns you from a spectator into a killing machine.

🔫

Assault Rifle

S-Tier

High DPS, fast fire rate, excellent range. The best all-rounder weapon for every boss fight in the game.

🚀

Rocket Launcher

S-Tier

Devastating AOE damage. One-shots groups of enemies. Essential for legendary Pal hunts and tower bosses.

💥

Pump Shotgun

A-Tier

Brutal close-range damage. Perfect when Pals close the gap. Pairs well with tanky frontline Pals.

🔭

Sniper Rifle

A-Tier

Long-range precision. Headshots deal massive damage. Ideal for opening fights before your Pal engages.

🏹

Crossbow

B-Tier

Solid mid-game weapon with poison arrows. Great for whittling down tough enemies from a safe distance.

🛡️

Metal Armor Set

Essential

Without armor, you're dead in two hits. Craft this before any serious fight. Upgrading it doubles your survival.

Combat Questions, Answered

The most common questions about fighting in Palworld — answered in plain English.

Hunt Alpha Pals and clear tower bosses repeatedly. Each gives massive XP. Also, breed Pals with the Legend passive — it boosts all stats and speeds up leveling indirectly. Use the Palworld Breeding Calculator to breed Legend onto your fighters early.

Always fight with your Pal. Your weapons (especially the Assault Rifle and Rocket Launcher) add massive DPS. Let your Pal tank while you deal damage from mid-range. This duo approach is how speedrunners clear towers in under 3 minutes.

The golden four: Legend (+20% ATK/DEF/SPD), Ferocious (+20% ATK), Musclehead (+30% ATK, -50% Work), and Swift (+30% SPD). Stack all four on any Pal and it becomes a monster. Breed them using the Palworld Breeding Calculator.

Legendary Pals like Jetragon, Frostallion, and Shadowbeak require a full team of level 40+ Pals with perfect passives. Bring elemental counters, stock up on ammo, and craft the best armor available. Catching them first via our Palworld Catching Guide makes future fights easier.

Breeding wins every time. A bred Pal with 4 perfect passives deals 2.5x more damage than a wild catch. Use the Palworld Catching Guide to get base stock, then refine them into perfect fighters with the Palworld Breeding Calculator.
