Palworld Four Sacred Beasts: Complete Capture Locations Guide

The four sacred beasts are the most powerful and elusive Pals in all of Palworld. These legendary creatures — Jetragon, Faleris, Jormuntide, and Helzephyr — serve as the ultimate test of a player's combat ability, preparation, and strategic thinking. Capturing all four is considered the pinnacle achievement in Palworld, and each one presents unique challenges that require different approaches.

This guide gives you everything you need to track down, battle, and capture every sacred beast. We cover exact spawn locations, recommended team levels, type weaknesses, battle strategies, and the specific Pal Spheres you will need. If you are ready to take on Palworld's greatest challenges, read on.

Overview of the Four Sacred Beasts

Before diving into locations, here is a quick reference table covering all four beasts.

Sacred Beast Type Recommended Level Location Region Difficulty
Jetragon Dragon 48-50 Eastern skies ★★★★★
Faleris Fire / Flying 45-48 Southern volcanoes ★★★★☆
Jormuntide Ice / Dragon 47-50 Northern seas ★★★★★
Helzephyr Dark / Ghost 46-49 Western wastelands ★★★★★

Pro Tip: Do not attempt to capture the sacred beasts until you have a team of at least five Pals at level 40 or higher. Underpowered teams will waste Pal Spheres and risk repeated defeats.

Each sacred beast has a unique fighting style, specific weaknesses, and a limited spawn window. Planning your approach for each one individually is essential for success.

Jetragon: The Sky Dragon

Jetragon is widely considered the most powerful sacred beast and the most difficult to capture. This Dragon-type legend rules the eastern skies and possesses devastating aerial attacks that can wipe out unprepared teams in seconds.

Jetragon Location

Jetragon spawns at a single fixed location in the eastern region of the map.

Attribute Details
Exact Location Skyward Peak, eastern island
Coordinates Approximately X: 420, Y: -180
Spawn Conditions Always present, but only one at a time
Level 50
Time of Day Any time

To reach Jetragon's lair, travel to the eastern island and ascend Skyward Peak. The path is treacherous, with high-level wild Pals guarding the route. Clear the path first, then approach the summit where Jetragon patrols.

Jetragon Weaknesses and Resistances

Effective Against Jetragon Weak Against Jetragon
Ice-type attacks Dragon-type attacks
Dragon-type attacks Neutral-type attacks
Fire-type attacks

Ice and Dragon moves deal super-effective damage. Bring at least two Ice-type Pals in your team.

Jetragon Battle Strategy

Jetragon's primary threat is its aerial mobility and powerful Dragon Breath attack. Follow this strategy:

  1. Open with Ice-type burst damage — Use your strongest Ice Pal to land a freeze attack. Jetragon is vulnerable to freeze, and a few seconds of immobilization lets your team stack damage.
  2. Keep ground Pals ready — Jetragon frequently lands to attack. When it touches the ground, switch to melee attackers for maximum damage.
  3. Bring healing support — Jetragon's breath attack deals massive area damage. A dedicated healer Pal is essential for surviving the full fight.
  4. Use Hyper Pal Spheres — Standard spheres have almost no chance. Bring at least 20 Hyper Pal Spheres or better.

Pro Tip: Jetragon's attack pattern is predictable — it cycles through three moves. Learn the pattern, dodge the breath attack, and attack during the recovery frames after each move.

Jetragon Capture Tips

Once Jetragon's HP is low enough, it becomes catchable. Throw Hyper Pal Spheres during its landing animations for the best catch rate. Expect to use 10-15 spheres before a successful capture.

Faleris: The Flame Hawk

Faleris, also known as "Call the Law" in some translations, is the fire sacred beast. This Fire/Flying-type patrols the southern volcanic regions and is the most accessible sacred beast for well-prepared mid-game teams.

Faleris Location

Faleris has two possible spawn locations in the southern volcanic zone.

Attribute Details
Location 1 Volcanic Crater, south-central region
Location 2 Ashen Fields, southern desert border
Coordinates X: -120, Y: 350 (Crater) / X: -200, Y: 280 (Fields)
Spawn Conditions Patrols between two locations
Level 47
Time of Day Daytime only

Faleris patrols a route between the Volcanic Crater and the Ashen Fields during daytime hours. Set up near one location and wait, or track its patrol path to intercept it.

Faleris Weaknesses and Resistances

Effective Against Faleris Weak Against Faleris
Water-type attacks Fire-type attacks
Rock-type attacks Flying-type attacks
Electric-type attacks Neutral-type attacks

Water, Rock, and Electric moves are all super-effective against Faleris. Water is especially useful because it also resists Fire attacks.

Faleris Battle Strategy

Faleris is aggressive but less durable than the other sacred beasts. A Water-type focused team can bring it down relatively quickly.

  1. Lead with Water-types — Water attacks deal double damage and resist Faleris's Fire moves.
  2. Dodge the dive bomb — Faleris's most dangerous move is a high-speed aerial dive. Sidestep at the last moment and counterattack.
  3. Trap it on the ground — Faleris is weakest when grounded. Use stagger-inducing attacks to force it to land, then unleash melee combos.
  4. Bring Electric support — Electric moves are super-effective and can stun Faleris, creating opening windows.

Faleris Capture Tips

Faleris is catchable with Hyper Pal Spheres at around 20-30% HP. Use Mega Spheres if you have them for a higher catch rate. Expect to use 5-10 spheres.

Sphere Type Catch Rate at 25% HP
Pal Sphere ~5%
Mega Sphere ~25%
Ultra Sphere ~45%
Hyper Sphere ~65%

Jormuntide: The Sea Serpent

Jormuntide is the Ice/Dragon sacred beast of the northern seas. This massive serpent-type Pal is one of the most visually spectacular encounters in the game and presents a unique water-and-ice battle challenge.

Jormuntide Location

Jormuntide patrols the northern ocean region near a specific island chain.

Attribute Details
Exact Location Frozen Archipelago, northern ocean
Coordinates X: 300, Y: -450
Spawn Conditions Surfaces every 10 minutes near the islands
Level 49
Time of Day Any time

Reach the Frozen Archipelago by traveling north from the central continent. You will need a water-mount Pal or the ability to glide across the ocean. The archipelago itself is guarded by high-level Ice Pals.

Jormuntide Weaknesses and Resistances

Effective Against Jormuntide Weak Against Jormuntide
Fire-type attacks Ice-type attacks
Dragon-type attacks Dragon-type attacks
Water-type attacks

Fire and Dragon moves are super-effective. Fire is especially recommended because it counters Jormuntide's Ice attacks.

Jormuntide Battle Strategy

Fighting Jormuntide is unique because the battle takes place partially in water. You need Pals that can fight effectively in aquatic environments.

  1. Bring Fire-types that handle water — Not all Fire Pals perform well in aquatic combat. Choose Fire Pals with ranged attacks that work from a distance.
  2. Target the head — Jormuntide takes extra damage from headshots. Focus fire on its head during surface phases.
  3. Watch for the tidal wave — Jormuntide can summon a massive wave that hits the entire arena. Dive underwater or move to high ground to avoid it.
  4. Use the island platforms — Small rocky platforms dot the arena. Use them to rest and reposition without taking continuous water damage.

Pro Tip: Jormuntide submerges periodically, making it untargetable for 15-20 seconds. Use this downtime to heal and reposition rather than wasting attacks.

Jormuntide Capture Tips

Jormuntide is catchable when it surfaces with low HP. Throw Ultra or Hyper Pal Spheres while it is on the surface. Expect 8-12 spheres for a successful capture.

Helzephyr: The Phantom Steed

Helzephyr is the Dark/Ghost sacred beast that haunts the western wastelands. This spectral horse-type Pal is arguably the most mechanically complex fight among the four beasts, requiring precise timing and type knowledge.

Helzephyr Location

Helzephyr appears in the western wasteland region at a specific cursed site.

Attribute Details
Exact Location Wraith Valley, western desert
Coordinates X: -380, Y: 150
Spawn Conditions Appears only at night (in-game time)
Level 48
Time of Day Night only (7 PM - 5 AM)

Helzephyr only materializes during nighttime hours. If you arrive during the day, set up camp and wait, or use a time-altering method if your server settings allow it.

Helzephyr Weaknesses and Resistances

Effective Against Helzephyr Weak Against Helzephyr
Light-type attacks Dark-type attacks
Dragon-type attacks Ghost-type attacks
Neutral-type attacks (immune)

Helzephyr is immune to Neutral-type attacks entirely. You must bring Dragon or Light-type Pals. Dragon is the most accessible option for most players.

Helzephyr Battle Strategy

Helzephyr's ghostly nature makes it partially intangible, causing many attacks to miss. Precision is critical.

  1. Use Dragon-type burst attacks — Dragon moves have perfect accuracy against Ghost types and deal super-effective damage.
  2. Avoid the phantom charge — Helzephyr's signature move is a ghostly charge that passes through obstacles. Dodge sideways at the last moment.
  3. Watch for the soul drain — Helzephyr can drain HP from your Pals to heal itself. If you see a purple aura, switch Pals immediately.
  4. Bring healing items — The fight is a marathon, not a sprint. Stock up on healing items before engaging.

Pro Tip: Helzephyr becomes fully tangible after using its soul drain attack. This 3-second window is your best opportunity to land all your strongest attacks.

Helzephyr Capture Tips

Helzephyr is catchable with Ultra Spheres or better. Its ghostly form makes throwing spheres slightly trickier — time your throws when it is grounded. Expect 8-15 spheres.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the easiest sacred beast to capture in Palworld?

Faleris is generally considered the easiest sacred beast to capture. It has the lowest recommended level (45-48), a predictable attack pattern, and is weak to three common types (Water, Rock, Electric). Many players capture Faleris first as a stepping stone to the other three beasts.

What level should my team be before fighting the sacred beasts?

Your team should have at least five Pals at level 40 or higher. Ideally, your main DPS Pals should be level 45+ and your healer should be level 43+. Being underleveled is the most common reason players fail to capture sacred beasts.

Can I capture sacred beasts multiple times?

Yes, sacred beasts respawn after you defeat them or leave the area. If you fail to capture one, it will be available again. However, only one of each sacred beast exists in the world at a time, so you must defeat or capture the current one before it respawns.

What is the best Pal Sphere to use on sacred beasts?

Hyper Pal Spheres offer the best balance of availability and catch rate for sacred beasts. Ultra Spheres work but require more attempts. Mega Spheres have too low a catch rate to be practical. Stock at least 20 Hyper Spheres per beast before attempting capture.

Do sacred beasts drop special items when defeated?

Yes, each sacred beast drops unique crafting materials when defeated. Jetragon drops Dragon Scale, Faleris drops Sacred Flame Feather, Jormuntide drops Frozen Dragon Tear, and Helzephyr drops Phantom Essence. These materials are used for crafting end-game equipment and legendary items.

Can I fight sacred beasts with friends on a multiplayer server?

Absolutely. Sacred beast fights are significantly easier with a coordinated team. Coordinate your team compositions with friends so you cover all type weaknesses and have multiple healers. Communication is key — designate one player as the shot-caller for dodging coordinated attacks.
