Progression

What level should I be for each tower in Palworld?

Answer

Towers in Palworld are meant to be tackled roughly in order of the region they appear in, with your character level rising alongside them, so treat the suggested level shown on the tower's map marker as a floor rather than a guarantee. Bring a well-fed team of Pals suited to the tower boss's weaknesses, and expect hard mode versions of towers to require a noticeably higher level and better gear than the standard fight.

Palworld's tower bosses act as the game's main checkpoints, and matching your level to each one before attempting it is the easiest way to avoid a frustrating fight.

Quick answer

Treat the suggested level shown on a tower's map marker as a minimum, not a target. Since towers do not scale to your character, arriving a few levels above the suggestion with a well-prepared team makes fights far more manageable, especially on hard mode versions.

General approach to tower order

Towers are placed across regions that increase in difficulty as you explore outward from the starting area. Fighting them in the order the map naturally leads you through keeps your level and gear roughly in line with what each boss expects, rather than jumping ahead into a much harder region too early.

StageWhat to focus on
Early towersBasic elemental Pals and starting gear are usually enough
Mid-game towersBuild a small team covering multiple elements and upgrade your weapons
Late-game towersBring a full team of strong Pals, better armor, and plenty of consumables
Hard mode towersOver-level relative to the standard fight and double-check your Pals' elemental matchups

Preparing your team

  1. Check the tower boss's element and bring Pals with a type advantage against it, using the Pals database to compare matchups.
  2. Make sure your Pals are well-fed and rested before the fight, since low condition can noticeably hurt their performance.
  3. Upgrade your weapon and armor to at least match the suggested level for the tower.
  4. Stock up on healing items and ammo before entering, since towers do not always let you leave and return freely.
  5. If you're building a team specifically for a tough tower like the Brothers of the Eternal Pyre, consider planning useful trait combinations ahead of time with our breeding combinations tool.

Hard mode towers

Hard mode versions of tower fights, including the Brothers of the Eternal Pyre, raise the boss's stats well beyond the standard fight. Going in at exactly the suggested level for the normal version is usually not enough; give yourself a real buffer in both character level and Pal levels, and don't rely on a single strong Pal to carry the whole fight, since hard mode bosses tend to punish narrow strategies.

Adjusting on the fly

If a tower fight feels far harder than expected, that's a strong sign you're under-leveled or missing an elemental counter rather than doing something wrong mechanically. Step back, spend more time leveling and gathering Pals in the surrounding region shown on the map, and return once your team and gear feel noticeably stronger.

Frequently asked questions

Do towers scale to my level?
Tower bosses generally have a fixed level range tied to their region rather than scaling directly to your character, which is why later towers feel like a much bigger jump than earlier ones.
What order should I fight the towers in?
Following the order suggested by the region progression on the map is the safest approach, since each tower's difficulty roughly matches the area around it.
Are hard mode towers much harder than the standard version?
Yes, hard mode towers noticeably raise the boss's stats and require a stronger team and gear than the standard fight, so it's worth over-leveling before attempting one.
How do I prepare for the Brothers of the Eternal Pyre?
Bring Pals strong against their element, stock up on healing items and ammo, and make sure your gear matches or exceeds the level suggested for that tower before attempting the fight, especially on hard mode.
