Palworld: All Wildlife Sanctuary Pals and Where to Find Them

This article is part of a directory: Palworld Guide Hub - Tips, Base Building, Best Pals, & More

Table of contents

As you venture into Palpagos Islands in Palworld, you will discover how gigantic and vast the archipelago is. Initially, you will be greeted by the cool and calm breaches on the eastern side. Still, as you explore the extreme edges of the Palpagos Islands, Palworld will introduce you to the horrid landscapes of volcanoes in Mount Obsidian, snowy mountains in the north, and dunes in the northeast. While many alpha Pals inhabit these regions, there are many other rarest pals for you to find in Palworld.

Pals found in Wildlife Sanctuaries are among the rarest in Palworld. There are three wildlife sanctuaries located in the three corners of Palpagos Islands. When hearing the term Wildlife Sanctuary, players might imagine a protected area where Pals live in peace and harmony, but that’s not the case. Wildlife Sanctuaries are large isolated islands of ancient origins home to wild variants of alpha and other rare pals unobtainable by breeding. For that reason, players will have to visit the Wildlife Sanctuaries to catch these rare Pals.

Palworld: 7 Base Tips For Productivity

There are always improvements that can be made to make a base more productive in Palworld. These tips are a good place to start.

Palworld: All Wildlife Sanctuary Locations and Pals

Wildlife Sanctuary No. 1

Recommended pal spheres: Mega and Giga Spheres

Wildlife Sanctuary No. 1 is located in the south of Palpagos Islands. It is the closest wildlife sanctuary to players who started their journey in the Plateau of Beginnings or its nearby islands. Once you can access a flying mount, you can start heading south from the Plateau of Beginnings. Sea Breeze Archipelago Castaway Beach is the closest fast travel point to Wildlife Sanctuary No.1. You can spot the Wildlife Sanctuary to the east of this travel point.

Here is a list of all the Pals you can find in Wildlife Sanctuary No.1:

Penking (Water/Ice)
Petallia (Leaf)
Eikthyrdeer Terra (Earth)
Grizzbolt (Electricity)
Elphidran (Dragon)
Vaelet (Leaf)
Azurobe (Water/Dragon)

Wildlife Sanctuary No.1 is the only place to find Grizzbolt spawning naturally. After capturing a Grizzbolt, you can breed it with other Pals to unlock rarer pals like Digtoise, Kitsun, and Anubis.

Wildlife Sanctuary No. 2

Recommended pal spheres: Ultra and Legendary Spheres

Wildlife Sanctuary No. 2 is located north of Mount Obsidian, a volcanic region on the far west side of the Palpagos Islands. Traversing through the volcanic pits of Mount Obsidian is far from a pleasant experience. The area is cluttered with high-level fire pals waiting to prey on low-level trainers. If that’s not scary enough, there are pools of lava and a religious faction called Brothers of the Eternal Pyre ready to attack whoever comes too close to their holy ground.

If you have already been to Mount Obsidian, keep heading north to reach the Ruined Fortress City, and the second Wildlife Sanctuary is just a little north of it. In case you haven’t unlocked fast travel points in Mount Obsidian and are underleveled for the region, go to the Forgotten Island on the northwest side of the map. Wildlife Sanctuary No. 2 is just a little west of the Forgotten Island.

Here is a list of all Pals you can find in Wildlife Sanctuary No. 2:

Jormuntide Ignis (Dragon/Fire)
Verdash (Leaf)
Incineram Noct (Dark)
Menasting (Dark/Earth)
Wumpo Botan (Leaf)
Quivern (Dragon)
Warsect (Earth/Leaf)
Kingpaca (Normal)

Wildlife Sanctuary No. 2 is the only place players can find the Jormuntide Ignis, the only Pal with level 4 Kindling. Players looking to cook lots of cakes for breeding Pals need the Jormuntide Ignis to hasten the process.

Wildlife Sanctuary No. 3

Recommended pal spheres: Ultra and Legendary Spheres

Wildlife Sanctuary No. 3 is located in one of the endgame areas of Palworld. Players must reach the deserts north of Eastern Wild Island to reach the third Wildlife Sanctuary. After entering the desert region, continue heading north until you find the Deep Sand Dunes fast travel point. Ride a flying Pal to the northeast to reach the final Wildlife Sanctuary.

Here are all the Pals you can find in Wildlife Sanctuary No. 3:

Astegon (Dragon/Dark)
Orserk (Dragon/Electricity)
Bushi (Fire)
Incineram Noct (Dark)
Fenglope (Normal)
Faleris (Fire)
Lyleen (Leaf)
Blazamut (Fire)
Shadowbeak (Dark)

In Wildlife Sanctuary No. 3, players will find extremely powerful Pals like Shadowbeak, Blazamut, and Incineram Noct, known for their high attack power and strong skills. This isolated island is famous for Astegon, one of the only two Pal with level 4 Mining. You can also find high-level Fenglopes, one of the fastest mounts when combined with the best movement traits.

What to know before going to Wildlife Sanctuaries

Wildlife Sanctuaries are home to some of the rarest Pals in Palworld. Players can only catch some of these rare pals in Wildlife Sanctuaries or obtain them by breeding other rare and legendary Pals. Players who want to breed stronger and rarer Pals should consider visiting their nearest Wildlife Sanctuary.

One thing players need to know about Wildlife Sanctuaries is that no fast travel points are available on these isolated islands. The only way to get there is by traveling to the closest fast travel point and then riding a mount to the sanctuary. Before you make the trip, be sure to stack a bunch of high-quality Pal Spheres. You are good to go for the first Wildlife Sanctuary with Mega and Giga spheres, as Pals here are only around level 20. However, the other two sanctuaries are loaded with powerful level 40-50 Pals, requiring you to have Ultra or Legendary spheres to stand a chance at capturing them.

You also have to be careful when visiting Wildlife Sanctuaries in Palworld. Upon trespassing into these areas, the game will display a warning: "Criminal Activity Undergoing." Members of the Palpagos Island Defense Force (PIDF) patrol the island. If you're detected, a red Wanted sign will appear on your screen, and PIDF troops will begin shooting at you. These troops are typically of a high level and will pursue you until either they are defeated or you are. Don't underestimate their firepower. Utilize your strongest Pals to overcome them.
