Guide to Summoning and Defeating Xenolord Raid Boss in Palworld

In the world of Palworld, raid bosses present some of the most daunting challenges players will encounter. Among these fierce foes is Xenolord, introduced during the Feybreak Major Content Update, known for its colossal health pool and formidable attacks. Successfully defeating such a powerful opponent isn’t just about brute strength; it demands meticulous planning and a well-crafted strategy.

To summon the Xenolord raid boss, players must utilize the Xenolord Slab at the summoning altar located in Palworld. Unlike the common and Alpha pals, Xenolord does not wander the landscapes of Feybreak Island; it requires a summoning process.

Obtaining Xenolord Slabs

Your first task is to gather the Xenolord fragments. Accumulate four of these fragments to craft a single Xenolord Slab. To embark on this journey, you must unlock the Expedition Station, which becomes accessible after achieving level 15 in the Technology Tree.

Once the Expedition Station is operational, the next step is to defeat the bosses Bjorn and Bastigor located in Feybreak Tower, as introduced in the Feybreak Major Content Update. Completing this goes hand-in-hand with unlocking the Dark Cave of Feybreak, where you can send your unused Pals on expeditions. These missions last approximately one hour, but deploying higher-level Pals can decrease the duration slightly.

After collecting enough fragments, proceed to a workbench to craft your Xenolord Slab. Once ready, return to the summoning altar to summon Xenolord and initiate the boss battle.

Strategies for Defeating Xenolord

Xenolord stands as one of the game’s toughest raid bosses, characterized by its gigantic size and significant power. With a staggering 1.3 million health points, players must come prepared to tackle its intense attack patterns. However, with strategic planning, victory is within reach.

To effectively engage Xenolord, ensure your character is at least level 60, equipped with upgraded health and attack stats, providing a solid foundation for both survival and damage output during the encounter.

Next, choose powerful weapons, such as the Plasma Cannon and Laser Gatling Gun, especially those introduced in the recent update. These firearms not only deal significant damage but, if you possess legendary variants, prioritize them in your arsenal for maximum effectiveness.

Remember that defense is as critical as offense. Equip the finest armor available, optimally the Lightweight Hexolite Armor, which grants superior protection against enemy assaults. Additionally, bring an Advanced Shield to further bolster your defenses against Xenolord’s powerful strikes.

With the right combination of gear and strategy, you stand a better chance of emerging victorious against Xenolord in this epic confrontation.

Xenolord employs a range of area-of-effect (AoE) attacks and can summon minions capable of wreaking havoc. It is advisable to summon this boss at a secondary base established away from your primary one, ensuring minimal damage to your core assets.

Optimal Strategy for the Boss Fight

Initiate your strategy by deploying your higher-tier or alpha Pals from the Palbox stationed at your secondary base. Position the summoning altar far from the Palbox to facilitate quick returns for reinforcements when needed.

A flying mount like Jetragon is invaluable during the battle. After summoning Xenolord, use your mount to maintain a safe distance, allowing your Pals to distract the boss while you bombard it from above using your powerful weaponry.

When Xenolord summons minions, prioritize their elimination immediately. These minions directly threaten your Pals’ survival, making early intervention crucial.

In addition, bring along consumables like the Mozzarina Hamburger, which can enhance your attack damage by 20%. These buffs can be game-changers in a tough boss fight like this.

Stay alert for Xenolord’s devastating AoE attacks. One particularly dangerous move involves summoning laser points that unleash horizontal beams. When you observe this attack, maneuver yourself either behind Xenolord or ascend high into the air to evade the damage, as it can inflict massive harm.

Pals like Jetragon and Frostallion are essential during this phase of battle due to their agility, allowing for quick escapes and repositioning.
