Updated February 13th, 2024 by Russ Boswell:Pal Fluidsare vitally important as players begin to progress throughout theirPal Worldjourney. These collectible items are used in a variety of recipies and players may need to get their hands on them well into the mid-to-late game depending on what types of items they favor using and what they need to build for themselves at a given time. Thankfully, findingPal Fluidisn’t too difficult and can be done from the very start of the game, in the beginning areas. To better showcasehow to get Pal Fluid in Palworld, the following guide has been updated with a video.

Where to Find Pal Fluids in Palworld

you may get Pal Fluids by knocking out wild Water-type Pals. Early in the game, the best way to get Pal Fluids is to huntPengullets,which you can find hanging around near rivers, beaches, and waterways. There are almost always a fewPengulletdown the base of the Plateau of Beginnings, along withthe likes of FoxparksandEikthyrdeer. Just follow the waterfall and you’ll come across one eventually.

The annoying part about Pengullets is they tend to run away once they see you. Running at them with a club or a spear won’t do you any favors, so you’ll either have to approach them sneakily (by pressing C to crouch) or use a bow. Once you do hit them, they’ll fight back using fast-moving Ice Missiles. These are pretty easy to dodge, and the long casting time leaves the Pengullet open to attack. Knock one out to get somePal FluidsandIce Organ.

It’s best to keep a few Pengullets in your base instead of hunting all of them — they’re one of thebest pals you can get early inPalworld. These guys can water plants, operate Crushers, and do general handiwork jobs likeLamballandCattiva. They perform decently well in combat as well, though they do get outshined by other Pals with better attack skills.

Pal Fluids are needed to craft Hot Springs, a facility meant to restore the SAN of Pals while they remain on your base. SAN management is crucial to keeping your Pals working efficiently — those with low SAN will start slacking off and ignoring their jobs. Pals will automatically go to a Hot Spring should they feel the need to, though you can always pick one up and throw them into the water if they’re being stubborn. It may be a good idea to have multiple Hot Springs in your base, especially once you start having dozens of Pals doing assorted jobs.
