If anyone's struggled with the first-ever Palworld raid battle, that would be me. However, a player has discovered an easy Bellanoir Libero Cheese involving a campfire and a stool to defeat it without breaking a sweat.
The Raid battles were a highly-requested feature. They can be fun if you play them with a group of friends, but playing them solo can be quite difficult. Bellanoir can be defeated pretty easily, but the Bellanoir Libero and Libero Ultra variants of the battle are extremely difficult, as they have 450k and 900k health, respectively.
It's heartbreaking when they defeat you since just a single battle takes a while and many steps to set up. You have to go through many caves to collect all Slab fragments to summon the Raid boss.
Luckily for all of us, there is currently a way to cheese the Raid battle, which was discovered by Reddit user GeneralHenry. This cheese strategy makes it easy for even solo players to defeat the more difficult versions without having to breed a bunch of Jetragons.
Palworld Bellanoir Libero battle cheese setup
For starters, you'll want to set up your base somewhere with a flat terrain. Additionally, as you can see in GeneralHenry's video, the best place for it would be a beach to avoid getting attacked or surprised by other wild Pals. Here are some of the best locations for your secondary base:
- The Forgotten Island -576,2
- Ice Wind Island -358, -77
- Twilight Dunes -206, -56
Once you have selected the location and built your base, you need to put up a Summoning Altar. Before you place it, instead, go to the Furniture section of the Build menu and select a Wooden stool. Place it near the edge but with enough space for the Summoning Altar to be inside the base when you build it afterward.
Add another stool on top of it and then move around until the Summoning Altar outlines glow blue. This means that you can place and build it on top of the two stools. It should look exactly like the photo below. Once it's up, crouch and dismantle the stools before placing a Campfire underneath the altar instead.
When the altar is ready, get on a Jetragon or an Eikthyrdeer—basically, anything that has a charge ability—so that you can get out of range quickly. If you are far away enough, then Bellanoir will not get aggroed and will keep floating right above the Campfire, taking damage. And for anyone who has died to that Campfire as many times as I have, you know it packs a punch.
You should stay out of sight but not too far. Try to get close enough to see the timer, at least. Keep an eye on your surroundings and see if there are any wild Pals nearby. If there are, shoot them before they can aggro Bellanoir.

When you see that Bellanoir's health is low, start shooting it. You have to do this if you want to get the rewards at the end. Those are the simple steps, but there are some additional things you need to think of as well, as mentioned in General Henry's post.
Bellanoir Libero raid preparation
Like I mentioned above, when preparing for the Bellanoir Libero raid, you can use any location as a base. Just keep in mind that it needs to have enough space, and that wild Pals can aggro the Raid Pal.
You don't need a Jetragon to escape; you can use either a Fenglope or an Eikthyrdeer with charge skills to get out of the base fast. You have to do it before you complete the summoning, or Bellanoir will get aggroed onto you. Even if you make it outside of the base, this Pal will just start attacking your Palbox.
The safest distance you can be is until you can't see its health bar. However, if you aren't sure of the timing just yet and need to see how much HP it still has, walk slowly forward until it shows up on your screen.
You don't need an Assault Rifle to defeat the Raid boss; you can use a bow as well if you manage to hit a headshot. However, I do prefer the security that the Assault Rifle damage gives me.
According to General Henry, you should start shooting her when the timer is around eight minutes and forty seconds. Compared to your shooting, the campfire deals steady damage, so if you do this cheese strategy a few times, you can get the hang of exactly when Bellanoir is close to death.
After completing all three raids, I had already given up on getting enough Ancient Civilization Cores for crafting. This strategy makes my life so much easier. Keep in mind that this can easily be patched out in any further Palworld updates, so try to make the most use of it while you still can.
