Palworld 1.0 Guide: How to Beat Feybreak Tower and Find Sunreach
If you're turning into an ice cube flying blindly around the ocean looking for Sunreach Island, you're doing it completely wrong.
If you caught my breakdown of the Palworld 1.0 biggest changes recently, you already know the update is massive. Finding the highly anticipated floating islands requires a lot more effort than just getting on a flying mount and looking up. The developers put a massive progression gate between you and the new content. Before you waste hours flying around an empty sky, you need to prepare for a very specific gauntlet. You have to navigate the lethal anti-air defenses of Feybreak Island, survive extreme cold, and completely dismantle a high-level boss duo.
Breaching Feybreak Island's Defenses
You can't simply fly your way into Feybreak. The entire island operates as a strict anti-air zone, which is a nasty surprise if you aren't expecting it.
Grounding Your Flight Plans
Automated turrets blanket the area with a 500-meter lock-on range. The second you enter their airspace on a flying mount, they'll shoot you right out of the sky. To get onto the island safely, fast travel to Fisherman's Point or the Scorched Ashland waypoint. From there, take a swimming Pal and head southwest across the water.
Once you make landfall, stick strictly to ground mounts. You have to locate the turrets on foot and manually disable them one by one. Thankfully, once you shut a turret down, it stays dead forever. Clear the airspace first so you can actually explore without constantly dodging artillery fire while you search for the tower.
Gearing Up for Extreme Cold
Once you have the freedom to move, set your sights on the southwestern edge of the island at coordinates -1294, -1669. That's exactly where you'll find Feybreak Tower.
The Recommended Loadout
Before you start the trek, understand that the temperature drop in this region is absolutely brutal. The environmental damage will constantly eat away at your health long before you reach the boss room. You need heavy cold resistance to survive the trip, and you can't bother with basic weapons or mid-tier gear for this fight. I put together the exact loadout you need to bring.
How to Beat Bjorn and Bastigor
You and your Pals need to be at least Level 60 to handle this encounter. If you show up underleveled, you'll be taking a very fast trip back to your base.
Aggressive Elemental Counters
Bastigor utilizes a nasty variety of ranged ice attacks that'll easily chunk your health bar if you get caught in the open. Your best strategy here is aggressive elemental coverage. I strongly recommend bringing Jormuntide Ignis. It equips three distinct Fire-type active skills and passively boosts your fire damage while you ride it.
To optimize your damage output, spend some time chain breeding your combat team to inherit the Flame Emperor passive for a massive 30 percent boost to Fire attacks. Adding the Legend passive for an extra 20 percent attack and defense boost is absolutely worth the grind before you step into this arena.
Arena Tactics and Evasion
When the fight starts, you need to split the aggro. Let your Pal engage Bastigor directly while you keep your distance and focus your Plasma Cannon fire entirely on Bjorn. Bastigor constantly marks areas on the ground before detonating large area-of-effect ice blasts. Hiding behind the arena's pillars blocks most of the ranged projectiles, but be careful not to back yourself into a corner where Bastigor can trap and freeze you.
If you need to cover ground fast, scope in with your weapon and dodge. Doing this triggers an enhanced evade that pushes you significantly farther than a standard combat roll. It's a lifesaver when those explosive markers appear under your feet.
Stepping Onto Sunreach Island
Once you finally drop the duo, you get five Ancient Technology Points and unlock the tower's fast travel waypoint. More importantly, defeating them officially activates the portal.
Activating the Portal
Depending on your exact clear, you can interact with the portal waiting at the top of the tower or the newly opened altar just southwest of the arena. Confirm the prompt to travel, give it a few seconds to load, and you'll finally step foot on Sunreach Island. The moment you arrive, the hidden landmass permanently unlocks on your world map.
Exploring the New Biome
A specific NPC waits for you right at the spawn point to hand off your very first quest. The island itself is broken up into several floating fragments. If you left your flying mount in the Palbox, you can use the various altars scattered around to teleport between the gaps. Watch out for the floating purple orbs too, they'll warp you to random locations if you get too close.
Take your time catching the new localized spawns and prepping your gear. Sitting right in the center of Sunreach is the Level 68 Tower Boss duo, Auri and Shaolong. You have to hunt down and disable six different Defense Modules just to shut off the massive whirlwind protecting their arena, so your work is far from over.
