Ancient Civilization Parts & Cores: Ultimate Farming Guide | Palworld

Understanding Ancient Civilization Resources

In Palworld's endgame, two resources stand as pillars of advanced crafting: Ancient Civilization Parts and Ancient Civilization Cores.

• Ancient Civilization Parts are the more common foundation, reliably dropped by Alpha Boss Pals found roaming the world map, as well as from dungeon bosses and Lucky Pals.
• These parts can be farmed repeatedly from respawning field bosses, allowing players to accumulate them steadily during their adventures.

In stark contrast, Ancient Civilization Cores represent the true endgame bottleneck. These drop from raid bosses like Bellanoir, Bellanoir Libero, Blazamut Ryu, and Xenolord, introduced in Version 0.2.0.6.

Acquiring Core Resources

• Parts: Acquired from Alpha Pals, dungeon bosses, and Lucky Pals.
• Cores: Drops from raid bosses like Bellanoir, Bellanoir Libero, Blazamut Ryu, and Xenolord.

To summon Bellanoir, you must first gather four slab fragments from treasure chests found across the world. Acquiring cores requires summoning Bellanoir at a Summoning Altar (which needs Technology Level 33) and then defeating it.

Strategic Importance

Their strategic importance is defined by their use in high-tier recipes. For instance, crafting the Ability Glasses requires 10 Parts and 5 Cores, while the Electric Egg Incubator needs another 30 Parts and 5 Cores. This total requirement of 20 Parts and 9 Cores highlights the core's status as the premium resource, making efficient Bellanoir farming the ultimate key to endgame progression.

Efficient Alpha Pal Farming Routes

For players between levels 5 and 15, the most efficient Alpha Pal farming route is located in the southern archipelago. This optimized loop features four bosses conveniently clustered together: Sweepa (Lvl 11), Gummoss (Lvl 11), Penking (Lvl 15), and Chillet (Lvl 11).

Early-Game Route Strategy

• Chillet: Found at coordinates -150, -90 on the plateau south of the Fort Ruins fast travel point.
• Penking: Located nearby at 113, -353.
• Optimal Loop: Start with Sweepa, move to Gummoss, then Penking, and finish with Chillet.

Maximizing Respawn Rates

Utilizing nearby fast travel statues is essential for quick movement between these locations. According to community testing, outdoor Alpha Bosses like these respawn every 30 minutes of real-time. Completing the loop within this window allows for continuous, non-stop farming.

This method is unparalleled for early-game progression, offering significant XP rewards and powerful Alpha Pals with superior combat stats.

Mastering Raid Boss Mechanics

Successfully challenging Bellanoir begins long before the fight itself, with meticulous preparation being the key to victory.

Preparing for the Raid

Your first crucial step is constructing a dedicated raid base in a remote location, as Bellanoir can destroy your Summoning Altar and ore deposits.

• Ensure your Palbox is not placed on foundations, as this can cause an immediate raid failure.
• To even summon the boss, you must first gather four slab fragments from treasure chests found across the world.

Understanding the Battle Phases

Once summoned, you'll face a demanding two-phase battle against a boss with 450,000 HP and a strict 10-minute time limit.

• Phase 1: Bellanoir starts as a Dark-type, weak to Dragon attacks.
• Phase 2: It transforms into an Ice-type at low health, now vulnerable to Fire.

This phase transition is marked by a charging animation followed by a devastating area-of-effect freeze attack.

Optimal Team Composition and Gear

Your Pal team composition is your greatest weapon. Utilize Jormuntide Ignis for its ideal dual-typing, Astegon for the dark phase, and fire specialists like Blazehowl Noct for the ice phase. Equip yourself with a Pal Metal Armor set and a legendary Rocket Launcher to maximize damage output while staying alive.

Victory rewards you with a Huge Dark Egg—this is how you obtain Bellanoir, as raid bosses cannot be captured with Pal Spheres during the fight.

Advanced Farming Techniques

Mastering advanced farming techniques is crucial for acquiring the Ancient Technology Points needed to craft Palworld's best gear.

Methods for Farming Tech Points

There are three primary methods to farm these points:

• A one-time reward from defeating Syndicate Tower Bosses.
• The renewable method of hunting Alpha Pal Bosses.
• Looting the respawning chests found in Wildlife Sanctuaries.

For optimal efficiency, many veterans recommend establishing a base on the rocks at the northern Wilderness Sanctuary 3. This strategic location offers easy teleport access, avoids police patrols, and provides a renewable source of both technology points and flowers for late-game medication.

Strategic Base Building

To build an effective outpost, players utilize advanced building techniques. This includes creating floating ceilings attached to walls and staircases to construct structures over open air or water. Proper setup turns this sanctuary into an unparalleled hub for gathering the resources required to unlock powerful end-game equipment.

Maximizing Your Farming Efficiency

To maximize your farming efficiency in Palworld, you must embrace a counterintuitive truth: sometimes, the best thing you can do is walk away.

The Power of AFK Farming

AFK (Away From Keyboard) farming is significantly more efficient than active farming due to improved background automation that kicks in when you're not physically present at your base. Pal AI can become laggy when you are nearby. This is especially true for problematic Pals like Bees, which often do "absolutely nothing" when watched but work efficiently off-screen.

Avoiding Common Pitfalls

Your choices directly impact your yield. Avoid common mistakes like poor Pal selection and overlooking the power of Ascension, which provides tangible, permanent yield increases. Instead, focus on strategic base placement near valuable resources and optimized breeding programs, such as using Mimogs with the Philanthropist trait.

Endgame Core Farming Strategy

For the endgame, your efficiency hinges on mastering Ancient Civilization Core farming by defeating raid bosses.

• Bellanoir: The entry point for core farming.
• Blazamut Ryu: Drops 2 cores per defeat.
• Xenolord: The most efficient boss, dropping 3 cores per defeat.

Breed specific counter Pals with Holy Burst skills and understand respawn mechanics to optimize your route. This strategic transition from passive base management to active boss farming is the key to maximizing your late-game efficiency.

Building Your Ancient Resource Empire

Successfully farming Ancient Civilization Parts and Cores requires a strategic approach that evolves as you progress through Palworld.

A Progressive Farming Plan

• Start with the efficient southern archipelago Alpha Pal route to build your foundation of Parts while leveling up.
• As you approach level 33, begin preparing for the Bellanoir raid by gathering slab fragments and building a dedicated raid base.
• Remember that AFK farming can be surprisingly effective for basic resources, while active boss farming becomes essential for acquiring those precious Cores.

Achieving Endgame Progression

The journey from collecting your first Ancient Civilization Part to defeating Bellanoir for Cores represents the pinnacle of Palworld progression. With the strategies outlined in this guide, you'll be well-equipped to tackle both the common challenges of Alpha Pal farming and the ultimate test of raid boss encounters.
