Palworld Best Ancient Relic Farm Locations

Card No. 06·15913 · Updated · Standard formula, shown below

The fastest way to farm Ancient Relic Parts in Palworld is to defeat the three early-game boss Pals (Chillet, Gumoss, and Penking) and then repeatedly defeat the level 23 boss, Azurobe, in the eastern desert. Each boss drops 1-3 Ancient Relic Parts, and the best single location for a quick loop is the Azurobe boss arena, which respawns every hour and can be reached in under a minute from a nearby fast travel point.

What Ancient Relic Parts Are Used For

Ancient Relic Parts are a key crafting material in Palworld, introduced in the early access build. They are used to craft the Ancient Technology items, which are unlocked in the Technology tree with Ancient Technology Points. These points are earned by defeating boss Pals and by capturing them for the first time. The most important items that require Ancient Relic Parts are the Grappling Gun, the Shield Generator, and the higher-tier Pal Spheres like the Hyper Sphere and Giga Sphere. The Grappling Gun is especially useful for traversal and for escaping dangerous situations, while the Shield Generator provides a significant survivability boost. Without a steady supply of Ancient Relic Parts, you will be stuck with basic tools and spheres, making late-game exploration and capture much harder.

How Boss Drops Work

Boss Pals in Palworld are marked on the map with a skull icon and a level number. They are essentially stronger versions of regular Pals, and they drop Ancient Relic Parts when defeated. The number of parts dropped scales with the boss’s level: lower-level bosses like Chillet (level 11) drop 1 part, mid-level bosses like Penking (level 15) drop 2 parts, and higher-level bosses like Azurobe (level 23) drop 3 parts. These bosses respawn after a set in-game time, which is typically one hour of real time. Because of this respawn timer, you cannot farm the same boss back-to-back, but you can cycle between several bosses in a single loop. Additionally, capturing a boss Pal for the first time grants a large bonus of Ancient Technology Points, but that is a one-time reward per boss.

Best Farming Locations by Level

To maximize your farming efficiency, you need to consider both the drop rate and the travel time between bosses. Here are the best locations, starting from the early game:

  • Chillet (Level 11) – Located in the Ravine Entrance area, northwest of the starting plateau. It is the easiest boss and can be defeated with a few fire-type Pals. It drops 1 part per kill.
  • Gumoss (Level 15) – Found in the Verdant Brook area, west of the starting zone. It is a Grass-type boss, so use fire or ice Pals. Drops 2 parts.
  • Penking (Level 15) – Located in the Ice Wind Island, far northwest. It is a Water/Ice type, so use electric or fire Pals. Drops 2 parts.
  • Azurobe (Level 23) – Found in the eastern desert, near the Sand Dunes fast travel point. It is a Water/Dragon type, so use electric or ice Pals. Drops 3 parts and is the best single boss for farming.

For a quick early-game loop, start at the Ravine Entrance, defeat Chillet, then fast travel to the Ice Wind Island for Penking, and finally head to the Verdant Brook for Gumoss. This loop takes about 10 minutes and yields 5 parts per hour. Once you reach level 20+, switch to an Azurobe-only loop, which yields 3 parts every hour, but with much less travel time.

Optimizing the Azurobe Farm

The Azurobe boss is the most efficient farm in the game because of its location and drop count. To farm it efficiently, follow these steps:

  1. Unlock the Sand Dunes fast travel point, which is located just south of the boss arena.
  2. Fast travel to Sand Dunes and run north for about 30 seconds. The boss is in a small canyon.
  3. Use a flying Pal like Nitewing to skip the terrain, or use a ground mount like Direhowl for speed.
  4. Defeat Azurobe using electric-type Pals (like Sparkit) or ice-type Pals (like Chillet). Bring a few Pals with you, as Azurobe can hit hard.
  5. Loot the 3 Ancient Relic Parts, then either wait for the respawn timer (1 hour) or go do other activities like mining or catching Pals.

One common mistake is to try to farm Azurobe before you are properly leveled. At level 20, it will be a tough fight, but with a team of 5 Pals at level 20+, it is manageable. Make sure to bring healing items and a shield if you have one.

Common Mistakes and Misconceptions

Many players think that you can farm Ancient Relic Parts by defeating the same boss repeatedly without waiting, but the respawn timer is real. You cannot just log out and back in to reset the boss. Another misconception is that the parts are dropped by any Pal, but only the marked boss Pals drop them. Regular Pals, even alpha versions, do not drop these parts. Also, some players waste time farming the level 30+ bosses like the Kingpaca, but those are much harder and only drop 4 parts, which is not worth the extra time and resources. Stick to the lower-level bosses for efficient farming.

Alternative Methods to Get Ancient Relic Parts

While boss farming is the primary method, there are a couple of alternative sources:

  • Dungeons – Some dungeons have a small chance to drop Ancient Relic Parts from the final chest, but this is unreliable and time-consuming.
  • Trading – You can trade with other players, but only if you are on a multiplayer server. This is not a reliable method for solo players.

For most players, boss farming is the only viable method. If you are on a dedicated server, you can also ask other players to help you defeat bosses faster, but the drop rate is still the same.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many Ancient Relic Parts do I need for the Grappling Gun?

The Grappling Gun requires 3 Ancient Relic Parts, along with some ingots and wood. This is one of the first items you should craft, as it greatly improves mobility.

Do boss Pals respawn after I capture them?

Yes, boss Pals respawn after about an hour, even if you capture them. However, capturing a boss gives you a one-time bonus of Ancient Technology Points, but you do not get the parts again until you defeat it again.

Can I farm Ancient Relic Parts in multiplayer?

Yes, but each player can only get the parts if they deal damage to the boss. If you are in a group, make sure everyone hits the boss to get the drops. Also, the respawn timer is shared across the server, so you cannot have multiple players farming the same boss simultaneously.

What is the fastest way to get Ancient Technology Points?

The fastest way is to capture each boss Pal for the first time, as that gives a large bonus (around 10 points per boss). After that, you only get points from defeating bosses, which is slower. So prioritize capturing new bosses before farming them.

Are there any level 50 bosses that drop more parts?

Yes, the level 50 bosses like the Jetragon and the Paladius drop more parts (around 5-6), but they are extremely difficult and require a high-level team and good gear. For most players, Azurobe is the best balance of difficulty and reward.
