How to fly in Palworld?
Players search this as “how to fly in palword”. Here is the verified Palworld 1.0 answer, plus the tools that let you act on it right away.
Short answer
Capture a mount-capable Pal, craft its Saddle at a Pal Gear Workbench once unlocked in the technology tree, then interact with the Pal to summon and mount it. Flying Pals with a Saddle let you take off with jump and control altitude with your movement keys, using stamina that regenerates on the ground.
Mounts turn Palworld's map from a slog into fast, playable terrain, and flying mounts especially change how you approach exploration and boss fights.
Quick answer
To ride a Pal, capture one with mount capability, unlock and craft its specific Saddle at a Pal Gear Workbench, then interact with the Pal to summon it as a mount. Flying mounts use jump to take off and drain stamina during flight, so plan routes with landing spots in mind.
1. Capture a mount-capable Pal
Not every Pal can be ridden — check a Pal's page on /pals for its Partner Skill; mount abilities are listed there. Ground mounts tend to unlock earlier and flying mounts later, tied to character level.
2. Unlock and craft the Saddle
Each mountable Pal has its own Saddle item, unlocked through the technology tree at a specific character level. Craft it at a Pal Gear Workbench using the materials listed for that Pal.
3. Equip and summon the mount
Once the Saddle is crafted, equip it to the Pal from its info screen. Interacting with the Pal in the field (or using its assigned Partner Skill key) then summons and mounts it directly.
4. Riding controls
| Action | Control |
|---|---|
| Move | Standard movement keys |
| Sprint | Sprint key, subject to mount stamina |
| Take off (flying mounts) | Jump |
| Ascend / descend (flying) | Movement + jump/crouch |
| Dismount | Dedicated dismount key |
5. Manage flight stamina
Flying drains a stamina bar specific to the mount. Running it out forces a gradual descent rather than an instant fall in most cases, but it's still smart to plan flights with a landing point in mind, especially over hazardous terrain or water.
6. Use mounts for exploration and combat
Ground mounts are great for fast travel between bases and resource nodes, while flying mounts let you scout the map, reach otherwise inaccessible areas, and in some cases fight while mounted depending on the Pal's abilities.
7. Upgrade as you progress
Higher character levels unlock stronger, faster mounts with bigger stamina pools. It's worth re-checking the technology tree periodically since a new mount tier often replaces last week's default ride entirely.

Frequently asked questions
- What do you need to craft a Saddle in Palworld?
- You need the matching technology unlocked at the right level plus crafting materials, then build the Saddle at a Pal Gear Workbench.
- Why can't I mount my Pal yet?
- Either you haven't crafted that Pal's specific Saddle, or the Pal's mount ability requires a higher character level than you currently have.
- Do flying Pals run out of stamina mid-flight?
- Yes, sustained flight drains stamina and running out forces a descent, so land occasionally or upgrade stamina-related gear for longer flights.
