All Dungeon spawn locations in Palworld

Dungeon diving for rewards and Pals

Palworld is a game that encourages players to explore every inch of the map in order to find secrets, hidden items, and useful resources. Dungeons, instanced areas which have players exploring caves before defeating a final Alpha Boss, are one such secret.

If you’ve played Palworld for any length of time, you’ll have stumbled across a Dungeon at least once. They show up in the game as a black hole in the cliff face surrounded by trees or other foliage which help it to blend into the area, and when you approach them, you’re given information about the level of the final Alpha Pal that you’ll face within.

The problem arises when you go back to a place where you’ve previously found a Dungeon. In Palworld, these Dungeons are not always present in the same place and work on a timer, disappearing once that countdown ends and reappearing elsewhere after some time.

There are currently seven different Dungeons within Palworld, all of which have specific spawn points in select locations.

Each Dungeon has an Alpha Pal waiting at the end of it for you to defeat and in doing so, you’ll earn some rewards. The Alpha Pal at the end could be just about anything, but it usually reflects the type of Pals in the area surrounding where the Dungeon spawned. 

Dungeon rewards

There are chests scattered throughout dungeons that contain the usual items, like Gold, Bread and other goodies. The real rewards come at the end of each Dungeon though, because not only do you get Ancient Civilization Parts for defeating the final Alpha Pal in every Dungeon, there are two chests waiting for you before you leave.

In these chests, you’ll often find Schematics, valuable treasures and accessories that can boost a myriad of stats. On top of this, there is a chance that you will get some Technical Manuals, which can be used to gain extra Technical Points. 

Hillside Cavern (Lv. 13)

Isolated Island Cavern is a level 13 Dungeon which spawns in the following areas:

  • Sea Breeze Archipelago
  • Ice Wind Island
  • Marsh Island
  • Forgotten Island
  • Eastern Wild Island

The next level jump is a whole 10 levels to 29 and this Dungeon, the Mountain Stream Grotto, can be found around the following areas:

  • Verdant Brook
  • Moonless Shore

Of course with the slightly higher level, the fights inside get harder and the rewards reflect this. Mountain Stream Grotto is the first Dungeon in which you can possibly find Innovative Technical Manuals.

This is where Dungeon diving starts to get really interesting. Jumping up to an average level of 38, these Dungeons can be found in the Desiccated Desert. 

On the plus side, the Alpha Pals that you meet at the end of these dungeons are likely to drop more items, including rarer items such as valuable treasures. Make sure to take both Heat and Cold Resistant Armor, though.

If you’re on a mission to get some high level fire type Pals to boost your chances of taking down Frostallion, this level 40 Dungeon is an excellent place to start. Volcanic Cavern only spawns, as the name suggests, in the volcanic area surrounding Mount Obsidian. 

You’ll want to take some Heat Resistant Armor with you, as well as plenty of ammunition and some water type Pals.

Last but by no means least, you’ll be able to head into Sacred Mountain Cavern when your level reaches about 45. This Dungeon only spawns around the Astral Mountains, so you’ll find a whole host of ice type Pals to capture or kill. 

If you’re heading here, make sure to take some Cold Resistant Armor and plenty of fire type Pals to aid you in your endeavors.

Will more Dungeons be added to Palworld?

Given that it’s an Early Access game, Palworld is constantly evolving. Thanks to the Mini Roadmap that was revealed back in January, we know that there is more content planned for the future, including more bosses, islands, and Pals. 

As such, it’s likely that with new islands, we’ll see the inclusion of new Dungeons featuring Pals from those islands. Of course, we’ll keep this page updated if that happens.
