One of the most exciting things coming to Palworld with the Sakurajima update is the island of Sakurajima itself. This massive new island is filled with new pals, as well as some familiar faces, and some other new battles to face while you’re there.
If you’re looking to expand your horizons in Palpagos, here’s where to find the Sakurajima area in Palworld.
Sakurajima’s map: Moonflower Tower, Southern Sandbar, more
Sakurajima is a whole new huge island located on the western side of the map, to the north of Mount Obsidian and west of the Astral Mountains. There is a lot to do and many new places to explore. The easiest way to travel to Sakurajima is by traveling to either of the following Fast Travel points and using a flying mount to travel west:
- Ice Wind Island
- Pristine Snow Field
The island itself is made up of different areas, with Arid desert-like areas to both the North and South shores, Mushroom Wetlands to the East, and Cherry Blossom forests in the middle. Exploring these areas, you’ll come across many of the newly added Pals, including both Croajiro and Chillet Ignis.
There are a total of seven Fast Travel points (including the one at the top of Moonflower Tower) to be unlocked on Sakurajima:
- Sakurajima: Southern Sandbar
- Cemetery on the Outskirts of the Island
- Sakurajima: Northern Rocky Area
- Branching Road to Cherry Blossoms
- Sakurajima: Mushroom Wetlands
- Moonflower Tower Entrance
- Moonflower Tower
Once you get to the island, you’ll face off against new enemies as well as Pals. Here, rather than the usual groups of Syndicate Thugs that you’re used to, you’ll encounter groups of Moonflower Jonin, Genin and Ronin. These new human enemies move very quickly and can be troublesome, but aren’t too difficult to overcome once you’ve got a lock on them. They’re also good practise in preparation for taking on Moonflower Tower, where you’ll go to battle against the new Tower Boss Duo, Saya and Selyne.
There’s also a new Dungeon type on Sakurajima, Sakura Cave, the inside of which is heavily inspired by classic Japanese architecture. At level 52, these Dungeons can be hard to get through but you’re guaranteed to get one of the newly added Pals as the final boss, and also at least one slab for both Bellanoire Libero and Blazamut Ryu in the final chest, as well as other very useful items.
