About Palworld bosses

Each card shows a boss's level, its own element(s), and the elements it's weak to (with the damage multiplier, such as ×1.5). Bosses without a listed level or element show a dash where that information is unavailable.

Open any boss's guide to see the optimizer's current #1 recommended Pal for that fight, along with its best skills and passives, and a ranked list of alternative Pals if more than one build is available.

Palworld Bosses: Frequently Asked Questions

What bosses are included on this site?

This site currently lists 16 Palworld bosses, spanning Tower, Raid and World encounters, each with its own guide page.

What is the highest-level boss in Palworld?

Astralym is the highest-level boss currently listed, at level 80.

What is the difference between Normal, Hard and Standard boss variants?

Normal and Hard are two separate difficulty variants of the same Tower boss, each with its own recorded level, HP and matchup data. Standard is used for Raid and World bosses, which only have one recorded encounter each in the current dataset.

Which bosses have a Hard variant?

9 of the 16 bosses in the current dataset have a recorded Hard variant: Astralym, Bastigor, Faleris, Grizzbolt, Lyleen, Orserk, Selyne, Shadowbeak, Shaolong. The remaining 7 are Raid/World bosses with a single Standard encounter each.

How do boss elemental weaknesses work?

Each boss has one or more elements and takes bonus damage from specific counter elements, shown as a multiplier (for example ×1.5). Attacking with a Pal and skill that match a boss's weak element increases the optimizer's estimated damage for that build.

What information is included in each boss guide?

Each boss guide page shows the boss's stats (level and HP where recorded), its element matchup, the current model's recommended Pals, known attacks, a Normal vs Hard comparison when both exist, and a boss-specific FAQ.

How do I find the best Pal for a boss?

Open a boss's guide page and check the "Best Pals Against" section: it shows the top-ranked Pal, skills and passives from the current comparison model, along with alternative Pals ranked below it.

Where can I optimize a full team against a boss?

Use the Palworld Boss Optimizer to pick a boss and difficulty and build a full 5-Pal recommended team with skill rotations and Partner Skill support.
