Surviving the Chill in Palworld
Whether it’s the dead of night or a daring expedition into the mountains, it is rather easy for characters to meet an icy end in Palworld. Keeping warm and cozy is crucial for survival, and advice on how to do just that resides below.
Ah, the joys of frigid temperatures in Palworld! The grand adventure starts off with a bone-chilling warning: as night descends within the first few minutes of gameplay, characters will start losing health due to the cold. Fear not; with a few handy tricks up the sleeve, a frosty demise can be avoided.
Embrace the Warmth: Fire is Your Best Friend
As any seasoned survivalist will tell, nothing beats a cozy fire on a chilly night. The first campfire can be found right next to the initial teleport hub, accompanied by a helpful NPC. It is advisable to set up the crafting station nearby so the tutorial can roll on without the risk of freezing.
Once the timber is gathered, creating a trusty torch can make nighttime travels less frigid. After establishing a camp and possibly constructing a makeshift cabin—with a bed, of course—huddling inside those walls will offer protection from the harsh elements. For players with delicate Pals, such as the Cattiva, it’s wise to keep a few campfires around to prevent any chilly illnesses.


Conquering the Cold: The Extreme Challenge
A bed at the base can be your sanctuary during the night, allowing for a mucking-free existence, at least temporarily. However, exploration leads to mountainous biomes where frigid air is the norm. For the intrepid adventurers who yearn to traverse the open world at night, crafting suitable attire is the best bet:
- Level 9: Fashion traditional mountain wear that provides frost protection.
- Level 12: Unlock the ability to create fur armor, the holy grail of cold protection.
- Level 18: Fur armor that does more than just look fabulous—it’s heated!
- Level 27: Heated metal armor for added defense without the risk of hypothermia.
- Level 41: Refined heated metal armor, because why not show off?
- Level 50: The pièce de résistance: heated paluminum armor.
Of course, crafting any mentioned garments requires resources like leather or fabric, but isn’t it worth it for the joy of staying warm?

Another method of combating the frost is to recruit a fire Pal. Summoning this fiery companion will shed light on the path and provide warmth; think of it as a living, breathing space heater. Other Pals, when mounted, can also offer comforting warmth throughout the chilly landscape. A little camaraderie keeps the cold at bay, after all!
