Pal World Cheat Codes and Tips

Movement Tips

Use the Grappling Gun to Move Even When Overweight

By using the grappling gun, you can move even when you are overweight. This can be useful when carrying minerals such as ore or coal.

If You Don't Have It, Drop Items While Moving

Even if you don't have a Grappling Gun, you can still move while being overweight by repeatedly dropping and picking up items. This can be useful when you want to move short distances, such as reaching a Chest.

List of Pals that Increase Carrying Capacity

No Fall Damage While Riding

When riding a Pal, you will not take fall damage. Therefore, if you want to quickly descend from a high place, ride a Pal and then jump off.

NPC Cheats and Secrets

NPCs can also be captured with Spears

NPC Capture

Other than Pals, NPCs can also be captured with Spear-type items. By capturing merchants and black market dealers and placing them in your base, you can use their shops anytime.

Capturing Tower Bosses (Bug)

Steps to Capture the Tower Boss
1 Fishing Village Attack the NPC which makes you a Wanted criminal. Go to a nearby fishing village with Fast Travel to do this.
2 Fast Travel Challenge the Tower Boss. If it has already been defeated, Fast Travel will be unlocked, so it's a good idea to defeat it in advance.
3 Back Bonus Throw a Spear while in the Back Bonus state. It is displayed as 0%, but it is possible to capture with a Pal Sphere at 100%.

By using this bug, you can capture Tower Bosses. Note that capturing bosses is not officially implemented in the game and it is done at your own risk. In multiplayer servers, it may cause inconvenience to others, so it is especially not recommended.
