ThePalworldFeybreak update introduced a new type of pals known as Predator Pals. Players who have faced Alpha Pals can easily recognize their overwhelming power compared to regular pals, with Predator Pals falling somewhere in between. These newly added Predator Pals function as mini-bosses that players can encounter while exploring the Palpagos Islands.
Although Predator Pals feature a boss bar like Alpha Pals, they cannot be caught using pal spheres. These fierce creatures are the exclusive source of a rare resource called Predator Cores. This new item serves as a crucial ingredient for crafting advanced technologies, including theMeowmere Sword, introduced through the Terraria collaboration. In this guide, you will discover the best locations to farm Predator Cores and explore their various uses inPalworld.

How to Get Predator Cores in Palworld
Predator Cores are a guaranteed drop from Predator Pals, which can be found in every region ofPalworld. You can identify a Predator Pal by its distinctive glowing aura and a boss bar displaying “Rampaging” above the pal’s name.Upon defeating a Predator Pal, you can obtain one to four Predator Cores, depending on the pal’s level.
Although Palpagos Island is quite large, there are only 33 Predator Pals available to fight acrossPalworld. While these enemies can respawn after being defeated, their respawn chances are frustratingly low. Fortunately, you can roam the area and return later to check if the Predator Pal has reappeared.

Day & Night
When you visit the listed coordinates, the Predator Pal might not always appear immediately. Move away from the spawn point and return after a few minutes, as these pals do not have a 100% spawn rate likeAlpha Pals. Roaming around the area can help trigger their appearance. If you’ve already defeated a Predator Pal, you will need to wait until the next in-game day for it to respawn.

Predator Cores have limited uses inPalworld, primarily for unlocking the Meowmere weapon and expanding inventory slots. As part of the Feybreak update,Palworldintroduced the Meowmere, a new melee weapon featuring an adorable ranged attack that launches cats at enemies.
