Palworld 1.0: Xenolord raid boss guide

In brief

Xenolord is Palworld's ultimate raid boss: impossible to capture with a sphere, but you can get your own by defeating it and hatching the Large Dark Egg. This guide covers the summoning process, combat strategy (Ice Pals with Legend as a priority), and recovering the boss.

Xenolord is one of the most fearsome raid bosses in Palworld. There's no way to capture it with a sphere: to get your own, you must first defeat it, then hatch the Large Dark Egg automatically added to your inventory after the victory. Here's how to summon it, fight it, and obtain it.

Summoning Xenolord

To trigger the fight, gather four Xenolord Fragments, craft a Xenolord Tablet, then bring it to a Summoning Altar.

The best way to obtain the Fragments is to send your Pals on an expedition to the Feybreak Dark Cave from a Pal Expedition Post. To guarantee the rewards, you'll need a total Firepower of 476,000: so prepare a stable of powerful Pals. Alternatively, explore the Feybreak dungeons: their chests have a small chance of containing a Fragment, but plan to chain through a lot of them. The expedition unlocks after defeating Bjorn, the boss of the Feybreak Tower.

Tips for the fight

Xenolord has over a million HP, hits very hard, and summons Xenovaders as reinforcements. Being a hybrid Dragon/Dark type, it's weak to Ice-type Pals (and takes Dragon damage well).

Prioritize survival above all with the Immortal passive, then stack offensive passives: Musclehead (+30% damage), Ice Emperor, Serenity, and Legend if you're using a legendary Pal like Jetragon.

As for mounts, Frostallion is excellent: its partner skill converts your damage to Ice while boosting Attack by 40%. Jetragon, meanwhile, lets you fly to dodge attacks while your team chips away at the boss's health. Tip: if your mount has the Immortal passive, add a Nitewing to your team - it inflicts a gradual HP loss in exchange for up to 80% bonus Attack, a loss that Immortal offsets thanks to its regeneration and lifesteal.

How to obtain Xenolord

Once the boss is defeated, the Large Dark Egg appears in your inventory. Place it in any egg incubator: it will hatch into a Xenolord. Less imposing than the boss, it remains extremely powerful. Don't forget to unlock and craft the Xenolord Saddle: it's one of the fastest flying mounts in the game, just behind Jetragon.

Frequently asked questions

How do you summon Xenolord?

Gather four Xenolord Fragments, craft a Xenolord Tablet, then bring it to a Summoning Altar. The most reliable way to get the Fragments is to send your Pals on an expedition to the Dark Cavern in Feybreak with at least 476,000 Firepower. Otherwise, explore Feybreak dungeons, where chests have a small chance of containing them.

What type of Pal should you use against Xenolord?

Prioritize Ice-type Pals: Xenolord is a Dragon/Dark hybrid and is weak to Ice. Above all, stack the Legend passive (regeneration + life steal), then Musclehead, Ice Emperor, Serenity, and Legend if you have a legendary like Jetragon. Bastigor and Frostallion are excellent as backup.

Which mount should you choose for this fight?

Frostallion is fantastic: its partner skill converts your damage into Ice damage while boosting Attack by 40%. Jetragon lets you fly to dodge the boss's attacks while your team wears it down. If your mount has Legend, add a Necromus to the team: it inflicts gradual HP loss offset by regeneration.

How do you get your own Xenolord?

Once the boss is defeated, the Large Dark Egg automatically appears in your inventory. Place it in any egg incubator and wait for it to hatch. Then unlock the Xenolord Saddle to use it as an ultra-fast flying mount.

How much HP does Xenolord have?

The boss has over a million HP and hits extremely hard. It also summons Xenovaders as reinforcements, so prep your team with the best Pals and sturdy passives before facing it.
