Palworld presents a unique blend of gaming elements, combining building mechanics from popular titles like Fortnite and Minecraft with charming Pokemon-like creatures known as pals. While drawing inspiration from other games, Palworld shines through its pals and the diverse ways you can engage with them.
Your pals in Palworld excel at various tasks such as cooking, mining, and even constructing buildings within your base. However, there are certain structures they struggle with, like the enigmatic Summoning Altar. This structure, resembling the mysterious blocks found in different locations, serves the crucial purpose of summoning powerful raid bosses offering valuable rewards.
Let's delve into the process of unlocking, building, and utilizing the Summoning Altar to enhance your Palworld experience.
Unveiling the Secrets of the Summoning Altar
To gain access to the Summoning Altar in Palworld, you must reach level 33 and invest three Ancient Technology points to unlock its blueprint. These points can be acquired by defeating alpha pals across the Palpagos Islands or by conquering challenging tower bosses, which reward five Ancient Technology points upon initial victory.
Once unlocked, you'll need 100 stones and 20 paldium fragments to construct the Summoning Altar, accessible in the Other tab of the Build menu. When deciding on its placement, it's advisable to create a separate base dedicated to summoning and battling raid bosses to protect your main base from potential destruction during boss encounters.
Strategic placement ensures a spacious area for maneuvering during battles, allowing your powerful pals to engage the boss effectively.
Harnessing the Power of the Summoning Altar
Once the Summoning Altar is erected, crafting a Pal slab initiates the summoning ritual for a raid boss. Insert the slab into the altar, opt for 'Summon Powerful Pal,' and confirm the summoning to commence the encounter.
In case you lack slabs, scavenge for slab fragments in chests scattered across dungeons and open-world areas like wildlife sanctuaries. Different raid boss levels dictate fragment locations; early-game bosses require exploration in Windswept Hills and Sea Breeze Archipelago, while advanced bosses lurk in regions like Mount Obsidian and Astral Mountains.
Collect four fragments, craft the slab at a workbench, and remember, the summoning recipe becomes visible only when you possess at least one slab fragment.
