Palworld is in Early Access. Accordingly, it is completely normal to find a few bugs here and there. Due to one of these bugs, a player accidentally blew up his entire map.
What exactly happened to the player? The reddit user Falisanda_ posted his story on reddit. According to the screenshot, he is already level 45 and has the flying mount Faleris. According to his statement, he called the Pal and mounted it.
Once in the air, he let Faleris initiate an attack. However, this not only hit the intended targets but triggered a firestorm that apparently affected the entire map of Palworld.
You can get a glimpse of the extent in the screenshot of his post:
What was the consequence? The attack of the fire pal decimated the entire visible map: According to the event list on the left edge of the image, the attack hits many Lamballs, Chikipis, and even kills at least one Mammorest. Additionally, at least one Pal trader and one traveling merchant are also affected by the attack.
According to the screenshot, Falisanda_ only received 1,179 experience points. Based on the damage indicators in the image, this is probably just the first wave of points.
However, it is impossible to say how many experience points Falisanda would ultimately have earned: The game crashed shortly after the outbreak of the devastating fire.
What kind of Pal is Faleris? The fire pal Faleris is one of the Pals that you can use as a flying mount. Its riding speeds are 150 slow, 1000 normal, and even 1400 in sprint.
If you take Faleris into battle, defeated ice Pals drop more loot. It should be noted that all of Faleris’s active abilities are exclusively fire attacks. While they do deal significant damage, they are less effective against water Pals.
The bird is also useful in the base, as it is level 3 in Kindling
and Transport
.
Unfortunately, you can only catch Faleris at higher levels in Palworld. However, if you want it earlier, you can also breed it with enough patience and time:
How did the community react? The post on reddit gathered 567 comments within two days, most of which are jokes and references to pop culture. Here are a few selections:
- MrShad0wzz: But then the fire nation declared us war and everything changed
- bradstrt: There is no war in Palpagos
- sirarkalots: Payload dropped, returning to base
- ellobouk: An eagle never misses its target
- Ben_Kenobi19354: Press F to pay respects to your GPU
- HelloThereMark: When you see a spider…
Unfortunately, it is unclear whether the player was able to restore his save later. Falisanda_ has only posted the screenshot so far and did not respond to comments. However, we hope that the grind to level 45 was not in vain and that a return to a pre-firestorm save is possible.
