Highlights

  • One Palworld player has witnessed their Faleris scorch an entire island within seconds.
  • The inexplicably bugged attack ended up crashing the game while everything around the player was still burning.
  • The cause of the newly emerged issue might not be specific to Faleris, but related to some of Palworld's Fire skills.

One Palworld player has recently encountered a peculiar bug that caused them to accidentally engulf an entire island in flames while crashing their game in the process. Their unusual experience adds to the list of known Palworld glitches that the fandom has discovered in recent months.

Pocketpair's hit open-world survival game features 137 Pals in total, all of which fall into one of nine elemental categories. Each group has its own uses, with Fire Pals being crucial for fueling stoves and furnaces, as well as acting as a source of warmth in cold areas, thus being essential for expeditions to the north. One of the best Fire Pals in Palworld is Faleris, a giant bird that kind of resembles an armored falcon.

Fire Pals are found in warmer areas of the map, especially near lava. That said, some Palworld locations are home to more Fire Pals than others.

Palworld Bug Causes Faleris To Firebomb Entire Island

Reddit user Falisanda_ has recently managed to catch one of these majestic creatures in Palworld, but found themselves surprised when their Faleris ended up scorching an entire island. What exactly transpired is unclear, with the fan merely attributing the incident to a "bugged attack." They did share a screenshot depicting the aftermath of the unfortunate event in all its fiery horror. The player's brief description of the incident suggests their Faleris performed the attack automatically after it was mounted.

As if the resulting fiery whirlwind wasn't surprising enough on its own, the incident ended up completely breaking the game, with Falisanda_ explaining that their Palworld instance had crashed during the attack. The massive amount of fire effects and whatever environmental damage and XP calculations were being done in the background likely had something to do with that outcome.

Which exact attack led to this situation is unclear. Faleris has no shortage of area-of-effect skills, which get progressively more devastating from level 15 upward. At level 50, this flying mount even learns Fire Ball, a projectile attack that explodes over a fairly large area. But even that skill wouldn't normally affect anything close to the size of the territory that Falisanda_ ended up scorching.

Since Palworld is an early access game, this sort of roughness around the edges is to be expected. And while its fandom has so far encountered no shortage of bugs, this peculiar issue appears to be the first public report of Faleris burning down such a massive area while crashing the game in the process of doing so. That said, there have been similar player reports of things burning down in a surprisingly short time frame in the vicinity of other Fire Pals, suggesting that this issue may not be specific to Faleris but related to some of Palworld's Fire skills.
