If you have ever been caught in the crossfire between two Depressos inPalworld, then the odds are you’re already familiar with being poisoned. You might even be wondering how you can use the poison status effect to your benefit in fights later on. The key to using the power of poison for your gain is PalVenom Glands.

Venom Glands are exactly what they sound like; special glands dropped by Pals that contain the key to Pal Poison. By collecting Venom Glands, you can build yourself a few nifty tools to take on the many enemies and fiends in Palworld’s vast wilds.

Catch And Kill Dark Element Pals

You can collect Venom Glands from successfullycapturing or killing Dark Element Pals.

Some Pals, likeDepresso and Daedreamspawn in larger numbers, while others, likeCawgnito, tend to be solitary. Your best bet is to go to locations where you knowdense populations of Dark Element Typeherd Pals will spawn.

Buy Venom Glands From Merchants

If you have Gold to spare, you canbuy Venom Glands from stationary, and occasionally Wandering, Merchants.The Merchant in the Small Village, for example,sells Venom Glands for 100 Gold coins– the same price as Flame Organs.

We only recommend buying Venom Glands from merchants when youdesperately need to,otherwise, you’ll be dumping valuable Gold coins that you could use tobuy Pals or Medical Supplies.

If you have the time to hunt Dark Element Pals,catching and killing Pals is a more efficient method.

Save your Gold Coins forpurchasing special Pals from Pal Merchants and the Black Marketeer. you’re able to alsostart a Gold farmby assigning Mau to your base’s Ranch task.

Find Venom Glands In The Environment

Occasionally, you’ll findrandom loot bags lying around,and you mayfind Venom Glands in chests or dropped as random looton the ground. We’re not quite sure what the drop or spawn rate is for Venom Glands, but it’s worth it tokeep an eye out for any unusual looton the ground.

You can also wait forSyndicate enemiesor otheraggressive Pals to kill Dark Element Pals for you, and swoop in when the deed is done. You may still need to deal with the Syndicate Thugs and those aggressive Pals, but at least youwon’t have to waste arrows on your quarry.

Chestsare another way you willoccasionally find Venom Glands.you’re able to double back to places where you know chests will respawn and try toloot them againfor more glands, organs, and other resources.
