All Palworld Wildlife Sanctuaries List

Palworld has a lot of places to explore, but I consider the Sanctuaries the best and the most dangerous due to the PIDF humans guarding these places. If you want to go to these islands, you need to be very prepared. To do that, read our guide to all Palworld Wildlife Sanctuaries below.

Wildlife Sanctuary No. 1

Wildlife Sanctuary No.1 is located closest to the beginning island at 92,-713. Since there are no Fast Points on the island, you will first need to travel to the Sea Breeze Archipelago Castaway Beach at -98,-710.

Use a Surfent or a flying mount to cross the ocean. Once there, you will find a lot of Pals, which you can't find anywhere else on the map. Most of them are very useful to have on your team or in your base. The best Pals with a lot of utility on this island are Petallia and Grizzbolt.

Wildlife Sanctuary No. 2

Wildlife Sanctuary No.2 is located at -675,-109. The closest Fast Point that you can use is the Ruined Fortress City at -560,-248. Make sure to have the heat-resistant armor on you, as this island tends to get too hot.

Just like in Sanctuary No.1, you will find a lot of very useful Pals which you should get. I suggest grabbing Jormuntide Ignis for that Kindling lvl.4 and Wumpo Botan for a lot of variety, but especially for Transporting lvl.4.

Wildlife Sanctuary No.3

Wildlife Sanctuary No.3 is located off the coast of the Dessicated Desert island at 661,629. This island will get both boiling hot and freezing cold, so the heat and cold-resistant armors are a must-have. The closest Fast Point you can use is the Deep Sand Dunes at 527,526.

The third Sanctuary island has the best and highest level Pals out of all three. Once you are high enough level, you definitely need to go to this island and get Orserk, Lyleen, Blazamut, and Astegon.

How to get Wildlife Sanctuary Rare Pals in Palworld

To get Wildlife Sanctuary Rare Pals, first, you need to keep in mind their levels. At Wildlife Sanctuary No.1, Pals will usually be around levels 15-20, which makes sense since this is the first island you will probably explore.

At Wildlife Sanctuary No.2 and No.3, Pals will be at around level 40. This also reflects the fact that these are areas you will probably reach later in the game.

Another thing that you need to keep in mind is the PIDF officers and elites roaming these islands. They aren't all-seeing, so you can get away with a lot when they are patrolling during the day. However, if they see you, you will get the Wanted effect, and they will keep coming after you.

The best strategy is to scope out all three levels of an island with your flying mount first. The PIDF people don't know how to look up, so you'll be safe. They will usually be hanging around on one level and in one area, which you can avoid. During the night, they are asleep, so you can catch all Nocturnal and sleeping Pals freely.

Another thing to keep in mind is that not all Pals will be on the island at the same time, so you might need to make multiple trips. Since a lot of the Pals are different types, it's best to bring in good weapons and a lot of bullets so you can depend mostly on yourself. You should also grab your highest-level Pals to ensure the most damage. Try to have them be different types to cover all the bases.

Palworld Wildlife Sanctuary Loot

The Palworld Wildlife Sanctuary loot is top tier. These islands are very recommended for farming, as they usually contain three or more chests which you can open.

Some of the items that can be found in these chests include valuable accessories, sapphires, schematics, and even skill fruits. And the best part is that these chests respawn, which means you can keep hitting them whenever you want to go looting.

You will also find the Beautiful Flower on the Sanctuary islands, which you use to make Strange Juice that improves your Pals' work at the base.
