  • Mounting a Pal while butchering it in Palworld lets players keep the loot and resources while saving the Pal from dying.
  • The trick is an efficient way of acquiring legendary schematics, which are crucial for obtaining powerful weapons and armor in the game.
  • Despite a decrease in its player base, Palworld plans to support the game with updates and future content, including PvP, raid bosses, and the potential addition of new Pals.

A Palworld player has discovered that mounting a Pal while butchering it allows players to get resources without killing the creature. Palworld is a survival game set in a colorful world where players build bases and catch creatures known as Pals. While Pals can fight, they engage in other activities like farming and dungeon exploration.

But one of the reasons Palworld has caught players' attention is its dark twist. Palworld has its share of sinister details, not only in its lore but also in gameplay mechanics. One of these mechanics is the possibility of butchering Pals, a cruel but useful option for freeing up space in the Palbox or getting otherwise hard resources. Butchering a Pal is considered a strictly illegal activity, however, and if an NPC catches the player killing a creature, they might put a bounty on their head. Butchering a Pal ends the monster's life, and players lose it forever. But one clever Palworld adventurer shared a trick that saves Pals from their demise while helping players progress through the game.

As well as revealing the trick and showing how it works, the player added in the comments that it's an efficient way of acquiring legendary schematics. Catching powerful Pals core Palworld experience, but players can increase their power by equipping legendary weapons and armor. To get them, however, Palworld players must find legendary schematics that come as drops by defeating Alpha Pals. Frostallion is one of these Pals who drops a legendary schematic for the Pal Metal Helmet, a helmet with good Defense, HP, and high durability.
