The exciting Palworld x Terraria crossover brought in a ton of new content to Palworld. Fans got to enjoy new equipment and explore a new Terraria-themed dungeon. But for those who love a good raid, the addition of the Moon Lord boss was no doubt the highlight. Now, PocketPair is delivering an even steeper challenge for players. Today’s Palworld update fixes bugs and brings in balance adjustments. But that’s not all. The latest patch also adds an even tougher version of the Moon Lord for gamers to contend with.
The latest Palworld update is available now for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, and Mac. It is mostly focused on adjustments for existing mechanics, balance tweaks, and bug fixes. That said, Palworld players will also be able to take on a new, higher-tier boss battle with the Moon Lord. If you and your Pals have been hoping for a bigger challenge, this new raid will no doubt deliver.
Other adjustments include the addition of more fishing spots. Expeditions will also offer more rewards if you send an overpowered Pal, rather than simply having the total time reduced. Legendary blueprints will also drop more frequently from Terraia dungeon chests, and raid boss rewards will be more generous even for players who didn’t deal direct damage. In all, this is a pretty big patch considering it’s not a major update. There are a whole host of minor bug fixes that should smooth things out nicely in Palworld going forward.
