Palworld: Panthalus – Everything you need to know about location, quest, and world tree

Panthalus is probably the most important Pal in Palworld 1.0. He grants you access to the World Tree and is particularly powerful. We will show you step by step what you need to know about him.

If you want to reach the World Tree in Palworld, your adventure will inevitably lead you to Panthalus. The whale-Pal at level 70 stands between you and access. In addition, he is very powerful, belongs to the Water type, and, unusually for this element, serves as a flying mount for you.

Everything about how to find him, defeat him, catch him, and how he leads you to the World Tree can be found here.

Panthalus – Location and how to summon him

How to find Panthalus? You cannot simply encounter Panthalus in the world like most other Pals. You must awaken him with the appropriate flute at the correct location and then battle him.

To do this, the following steps must be completed:

  • Defeat all tower bosses from Feybreak and Sunreach
  • Defeat Auri in her tower in Sunreach
  • Talk to Auri and activate the quest with Panthalus
  • Then collect the four bones that will be displayed to you as whale skeletons on the map
    • Here you need to have a good eye, as these are not classic markers but skeletons on the map
  • Then travel to the Abandoned Island and unlock the fast travel point there if you haven’t already done so
  • Talk to the NPC standing next to the fast travel point – he will give you the crucial blueprint
  • Then travel back to your base and craft the corresponding flute at the workbench from the collected bones
  • Return to the Abandoned Island and interact with the tablet at the shrine
  • Your character will then play the flute and Panthalus will appear

After that, you have 10 minutes to complete the battle and potentially take the chance to catch the monster. What you should pay attention to and how to make it easy, you can read on page 2: Palworld: Panthalus – Defeating and Catching
