Palworld Wiki - FAQ
How many Pals are there?
Over 200 following the 1.0 update, which added more than 70 new Pals.
How many players can play together?
Up to 4 in one world, or dedicated servers supporting communities up to 32.
Is Palworld out of Early Access?
No — it remains in Early Access even after the major 1.0 content update.
What is the final boss of the main story?
Zenara & Astralym, found at Level 80 in the Sealed Sanctum at the World Tree. Astralym is a six-winged dragon with no elemental type or weakness, making the fight a pure gear-and-skill check rather than a matchup puzzle -- around 420,000 HP with a devastating charge attack that must be interrupted by targeting its wings and leg orbs.
Can I capture human NPCs like Pals?
Yes -- confirmed via Pal Spheres, just like regular Pals. There are 152 individually named human NPCs across 7 factions (friendly fighters, the Brothers of the Eternal Pyre fire cult, villagers/merchants, the Free Pal Alliance, the police-like PIDF, hostile Rayne Syndicate hunters, and hostile wilderness Poachers), each with their own base stats if captured.
What's the difference between Tower Bosses and Raid Bosses?
Tower Bosses (9 total) are tied to main story progression -- human faction leaders riding powerful Pals, fought to earn Key Spheres and eventually reach the final boss. Raid Bosses (6 total, 11 counting Ultra/Master variants) are a separate, optional endgame system -- superboss Pals summoned via a Summoning Altar using crafted Slabs, offering harder challenges and better rewards outside the main story path.
