Palworld is home to over 100 different pals, differing in size, strength, and skills. None are more frightening than the alpha bosses of Palworld, stronger copies of available pals that will challenge a player's will and skill level. Menasting is considered as one of the most lethal of its class, but now it has a variant in Menasting Noct that can deal another world of chaos.

Menasting Noct is a pure ground-type pal, shedding the Dark element from the original Menasting, and focusing on the one element it maintains. Menasting Noct is also silver, giving off the resemblance of a body made of armor, and its flame goes from a blueish purple to a haunting yellow. A simplistic change that gives off the vibes of a menacing suit of armor.

Menasting Noct Location

In order to encounter Menasting Noct, players will first need to unlock the North Rock fast travel waypoint. This location is found in the Sakurajima region, north of the island, and is easily accessible once the main part of the area has been discovered. Players can simply take out their Nitewing to fly directly into the sandy area and begin their search for Menasting Noct.

Due to its alpha boss title, Menasting Noct's location is revealed on the map as soon as its discovered. Players can point their character in the direction of Menasting Noct and make their way over, though proper preparation is recommended. Menasting Noct is similar to Menasting in stats, as it is highly defensive and can stall out a player long enough to waste all of their ammunition.

Play it easy and keep some distance with Menasting Noct, as allowing it to get too close could open the door for disaster. It's also a good time to use the dodge command, as Menasting Noct attacks hard and often. A Rocket Launcher for long-distance attack paired with a Flamethrower for close-ranged combat could be a combination worth considering, and has the potential to do a ton of damage in a short time.

Unlike several alpha bosses in Palworld , Menasting Noct is not in an isolated area. Players won't be protected from other pals, so it's best to keep an eye out for any hostile pals looking to become a third party and make the battle feel extra dangerous.

In its own regard, Menasting Noct can match Menasting's attack and defense stats, providing players with an excellent ground-type pal. Menasting Noct is perfectly capable of serving as the team's tank, absorbing damage from enemy pals before unleashing its own havoc. Menasting Noct does lose its dark type from the original, which isn't ideal, but focusing more of its power on the Ground element could pay off in the long run.

Menasting Noct is likely not a pal players will want to leave on the base, as its services are preferred on the battlefield. Still, Menasting Noct can provide quality work with Level 3 Mining and Level 2 Lumbering work skills, ensuring players have a sufficient amount of Wood , Stone , and Ore .

Where Menasting Noct shines is in its partner skill, Steel Scorpion. When players bring out Menasting Noct to fight alongside them, the player's defense stat will rise as a result. Additionally, any electric-type pal that is taken down while Menasting is out will drop more items than usual. This is perfect for players looking to stock up on Electric Organs or any other valuable items dropped by these pals.
