Quick Links
Palworldis a game that encourages you to play with others, build bases, and explore the world. However, you may not want to play with others, sticking to solo play instead, or maybe you want to have a separate world you can explore alone. Just be warned, the game can be challenging on your own since you can only rely on yourself and your Pals.
With that in mind, though, you can still make solo play work since the game gives you all the tools you need to succeed. While it will be more challenging at times, you can use some excellent tips to help you navigate the game, take care of your base, and explore everything Palworld has to offer.

Automation matters since you don’t have other players to help you explore or collect resources.
If you want to automate your base further,focus on leveling up your baseso you canleave more Pals there.
Cover All Pal Task Types
As you increase your Base Level, you should try tocover as many task types as possible. When you look at your Pals, they’ll have highlighted tasks, showing what actions they can perform.
Ultimately, youwant to have enough Pals to cover all 12 task types, so younever have to perform actions on your own. If you can’t cover all task types, you should focus on a few to help with your basic needs.

You cangrow different seeds for more foodand resources.
Gathering
Your Pal will helpcollect different resources to build up your baseand prepare for crafting.
You’ll encountermany Pals that can perform multiple tasks, so mix and match them to cover as many as possible.
Rotate Your Pals While Fighting
While you fight in combat, you can send out your Pals and call them back. Normally, you can leave your Pals out, letting them deal damage,but rotating is better for damage while playing solo.
Check their Partner Skillsto see what they can do in combat. You should rotate through your Pals, use their Partner Skills, and continue this process, giving them time to refresh the cooldown before you return.
Doing so will help you maximize your damage while helping them avoid damage since theywon’t get hurt in between switches. Alwaysbring a defensive Pal, like Lamball, to keep safe in a pinch.
Rotating also matters when your Pals get low on health.Return to the base, open the Pal Management Menu, and swap them outto let them heal. It’s important to keep your Pals alive when adventuring alone, and this will help.
Prioritize Ranged Weapons
Even though bats and spears are powerful weapons, you shouldprioritize ranged weapons, like bows and guns. They allow you to start combat from a distance, so if you have a Pal out, then attack the foe, your Pal teammate will help fight them.
This also helps you stay out of harm’s way sincemany Pals have close-ranged attacks. It also gives youmore time to reactwith a dodge if the enemy launches a ranged attack.
On top of that, yourPals can deal more damage than you, saving you time.
Go With A Custom Game
It doesn’t hurt to go with a Custom Game while you play, allowing you toadjust the setting based on your preferences. You can use some to save time and others to provide a more enjoyable experience.
Explanation
EXP Rate
You want tocut down on level-up timeor feel like getting the highest Player Level quickly.
Pal Capture Rate
A perfect option to use if you’recatching rare Palsor want to worry less about wasting resources.
Damage Multipliers
If youhave trouble against bosses or Towers,you’re able to adjust this setting. Don’t set it too high for capturing Pals, or your teammates may one-shot them.
Pal Sleep Health Regeneration
A great setting to have high, so yourPals will recover quickly when you swap them out.
Turn it offif you want to focus on exploration.
Max Pals Working At Base
It doesn’t hurt toput this at 20 tohelp you take care of tasks.
You can change a world’s settings by going to the Main Menu, picking Start Game,selecting the world,and thenchoosing Change World Settings.
This will let you pick specific difficulties or go with a Custom Game if you don’t like any of the presets.
Over Level For Boss Fights And Towers
Many bosses deal lots of damage since they’re designed with the idea of multiple players fighting them. You can only carry so many Pals with you at a time, meaningeven a duo has double the advantage over you,Pal-wise.
Instead of tackling bosses around your level, you shouldwait until you’re a few levels higher than them. Doing so will help you stay alive longer, fight with stronger Pals, and even unlock better equipment and weapons.
The same appliesto Tower bosses, except you have a time limit for them. Feel free to try one, but see how your Pals perform overall.
Each Pal should bestrong enough to take out one-fifth of the boss’s health, so you may use that to gauge how much more leveling you need to do before you try again.
Don’t worry if you die to the boss:your equipment and items will spawn outside the tower, making it easy to retrieve them.
Play It Safe And Avoid Death
It’s critical for you to play the game safely and avoid dying whenever possible. Since dying causes you to drop your items on Normal difficulty and higher, it’sfar more punishing in Solo Play.
When you play with others, it’s alright if one of you loses your equipment since your friends can guide you back to the spot.
To keep yourself safe,put some points into Stamina and HPso you may run away if a fight proves too challenging. As a general rule, run away from a fight if you’re two or three hits from dying.
