Looking for Predator Cores in Palworld? These special items aren’t easy to get – you’ll need to track down and defeat special boss enemies called Predator Pals.

Don’t worry though, once you know where to look and what to expect, farming these cores becomes pretty straightforward. Let me walk you through everything about Predator Cores, from finding them to putting them to good use.

How to Get Predator Cores in Palworld

Getting Predator Cores comes down to hunting special variants of regular Pals. These variants, called Predator Pals, stand out thanks to their red aura and glowing red eyes – you really can’t miss them.

They’re tough enemies that spawn in fixed spots around the map and take about 30 minutes to respawn. Just keep in mind that sometimes they might not show up right away, even when you’re at the right spot.

Want a tip? Pack your strongest weapons and bring your best combat Pals. These aren’t regular enemies – they hit hard and can take quite a beating. If you get to a spawn point and don’t see the Predator Pal, try fast traveling nearby or reloading the area. That usually does the trick.

How to Use Predator Cores in Palworld?

Once you’ve got your hands on some Predator Cores, you can use them to craft some really useful items. The main things you’ll probably want to make are inventory pouches – these are great for expanding your carrying capacity. There’s also the Meowmere sword, which is pretty special since it’s actually from Terraria. Let’s break down what you can make:

Storage Upgrades:

  • Small Pouch (Level 28): 1 Core, 20 Fiber, 10 Leather, 50,000 Gold
  • Medium Pouch (Level 42): 5 Cores, 50 Fiber, 20 Leather, 100,000 Gold
  • Large Pouch (Level 52): 10 Cores, 80 Fiber, 30 Leather, 10 Carbon Fiber, 200,000 Gold
  • Giant Pouch (Level 57): 20 Cores, 120 Fiber, 40 Leather, 20 Carbon Fiber, 400,000 Gold

Weapons:

  • Meowmere (Level 30): 3 Cores, 22 Ingot, 22 Paldium Fragment, 22 Coal, 40,000 Gold

If you’re just starting out with Predator Core farming, try focusing on the level 45-50 Predator Pals first. They’re a good balance between difficulty and reward – not as tough as the level 60s but they still drop a decent number of cores. Just remember to mark their locations on your map and check back regularly. Before you know it, you’ll have enough cores for whatever you’re trying to craft.
