Palworld 1.0: Defeating and Catching Astralym – Everything You Need to Know

Astralym is one of the final bosses of Palworld 1.0 and makes quite an impression. How to defeat him and what you need to know about capturing him can be found here in the guide.

Where can you find Astralym? You can find the final boss in the Sealed Sanctum in the west of the World Tree Island. To enter the island, you must have defeated all the bosses in the towers and completed the quest from Panthalus.

Traverse the Sanctum and you will encounter the bosses Zenara and Astralym, who will provide you with an epic final battle and mark the end of the story of Palworld.

What you should know about the legendary Pal and how to master the fight will be shown to you.

Can you capture Astralym? Unfortunately, no, at least not at this time. Both Astralym and Zenara can only be defeated. Whether this will change in the future is currently unclear.

How to prepare for the fight against Astralym

Zenara and Astralym won’t make it easy for you, so you should consider a few things before you venture into the Sanctum:

  • Reach level 80 with your character and your Pals
  • Equip yourself with the best weapons and armors available
    • The Light Ancient Armor is the best choice here, as it provides the perfect balance between mobility and defense
  • Upgrade your Pals at the statue to increase health points, attack, and defense

Since Astralym has no elemental weakness but throws all different types against you, it doesn’t matter which type of Pal you take with you. So just take your strongest favorite Pals with the best skills and stats that you have.

Tip: Depending on your playstyle, it might be worthwhile to take particularly fast mount Pals with you to dodge Astralym’s relentless lasers and attacks as easily as possible. Jetdragon is always a good choice for this. Bastigor may also be worthwhile since he can attack while you ride him with his partner skill and usually brings high health and attack stats.

Tips and tricks for the fight against Astralym

The fight may be difficult as they bombard you with all sorts of lasers, AoE, and projectiles, but there are a few things that can make your life easier:

  • Always try to stay in motion to evade attacks
    • Many attacks overlap, stay in place, or move in a line
    • Use flying Pals whenever possible
  • Be sure to interrupt the charge attacks
    • If you see one of them gathering power, do everything you can to stop them because that hurts unnecessarily
      • Focus on the wings and head and deal as much damage as you can
  • At the end, there is a charge attack that will wipe you out after a short time
    • Save your strongest Pals and weapons for this, as it will be frustrating if you fail

If you stick to this, you should be able to avoid the biggest problems.
