Steps To Complete Journey
Pick up | Cut Trees |
---|---|
Once you start the game, pick up wood from the ground or gather them by cutting down trees. It takes too much time punching trees, so it is easier to just pick them up in the area where you start the game
Open the Survival Guide from the options screen and check the basic things you need to know about game. It also tells you the objective of the game and some terminology.
Structure | Requirements |
---|---|
Primitive Workbench | - Wood ×2 |
Open the building menu and build a Primitive Workbench. You can craft a number of items using it, and you will have more options to build once you level up.
Item | Requirements |
---|---|
Stone Pickaxe | - Stones ×5 - Wood ×5 |
Stone Axe | - Stones ×5 - Wood ×5 |
Once you have your workbench, craft a Stone Pickaxe and Stone Axe. Use the pickaxe to gather stones and the axe to gather wood from trees. You can obtain the materials for the equipment by picking up wood and punching rocks.
Unlock the Pal Sphere from the Technology Tree. It shows you the necessary materials to craft it, but you only need to unlock the recipe at this point.
Item | Requirements |
---|---|
Pal Sphere | - Paldium Fragment ×1 - Wood ×3 - Stones ×3 |
Pal Spheres can be crafted at the Primitive Workbench. You'll need 1 Paldium Fragment, 1 Wood and 3 Stones for each one you want to craft.
You need Paldium Fragment to craft Pal Spheres and you can get them from the blue rocks you find on the ground. Use the pickaxe or punch them to obtain them. Sometimes you can just pick them up from the ground.
It will be difficult to catch high level Pals, so stick to catching Pals from level 1 to 3 for now. The capture rate will become a lot higher if you attack them with your axe or pickaxe and lower their HP down to half.
How To Capture PalsUnlock the Palbox from the Technology Tree. It shows you the necessary materials to craft it, but you only need to unlock the recipe at this point.
Structure | Requirements |
---|---|
Palbox | - Paldium Fragment ×1 - Wood ×8 - Stones ×3 |
Build the Palbox from the building menu. The Palbox will become the center of your base so keep that in mind when choosing where to place it.
Best Base LocationsChoose "Palbox Management Menu" from the Palbox. Then it will appear in your base.
To consume any food, select it from your inventory and choose whether to give it to your Pals or eat it yourself. Both the Player and Pals have a hunger meter. Staying hungry or having the starving state will weaken the Player or Pal. Always keep an eye on the hunger meter and make sure no one starves.
Best Food - How & What To Feed PalsYou receive Stat Points every time the player levels up and you can consume it to increase your stats. You can do this from the box on the bottom right of the inventory screen. We recommend you prioritize increasing Weight.
Best Stats To Upgrade FirstLamballs look like little round sheep. It's hard to catch them when they have full health so attack them before you throw a Pal Sphere.
You need to catch 30 Pals of any kind. You will get an XP bonus for catching 10 of the same kind so try to catch at least 10 for every kind you find.
You can raise the base level by completing certain missions. Some of these require unlocking specific structures from the Technology Tree. If you aren't able to unlock them because of your Player level, you need to level up first.

Ground Type Pals Work Best
It's best to fight Zoe using Ground type Pals since they are strong against the Electric Type boss. You take less damage and can deal increased damage using Ground Type skills.

You can also get new Pals by breeding. In fact, some Pals can only be obtained by breeding so you should try many combinations. The parents' skills will be transferred to the child so you can make more powerful Pals by breeding.
