What Are Ancient Civilization Cores in Palworld?

How to Get Ancient Civilization Cores

1. Defeating Raid Bosses

The primary way to obtain Ancient Civilization Cores is by defeating raid bosses. Raid bosses are significantly tougher than regular Alpha Pals or world bosses, featuring massive health pools and a ten-minute time limit to defeat them.

How Raid Bosses Work:

• Raid bosses don’t appear randomly in the wild like world bosses. Instead, you must summon them using a Summoning Altar.
• Summoning a raid boss requires crafting specific items like Bellanoir Slabs, which are obtained by gathering fragments found in high-level dungeons.

2. Crafting the Summoning Altar

Before you can battle a raid boss, you’ll need to craft a Summoning Altar. This structure becomes available at Technology Level 33 and requires:

• Palladium Fragments x20
• Stone x100

Place the Summoning Altar away from your main base, as raid bosses will destroy everything nearby during the fight.

3. Preparing for the Raid Boss Fight

To summon and defeat a raid boss like Bellanoir, you’ll need a combination of good strategy and preparation. Here’s how to get started:

Gathering Materials for Bellanoir Slabs:

• Bellanoir Slab Fragments are found in high-level dungeon chests. Since the drop rate is not guaranteed, expect to farm these dungeons multiple times.
• Once you have four fragments, you can craft a Bellanoir Slab at a workbench or assembly line.

Recommended Gear:

• Use Pals with Dragon elemental types, as Bellanoir has a weakness to this element.
• Equip a powerful weapon like an Assault Rifle and stock up on plenty of ammo.
• Bring health packs and healing items to sustain yourself during the battle.

4. Other Ways to Get Ancient Civilization Cores

While defeating raid bosses is the most reliable method, there’s a slim chance you can find Ancient Civilization Cores in treasure chests:

• Rare Dungeon Chests: These are often located at the end of high-level dungeons.
• Greater Treasure Chests: For instance, the Oilrig dungeon chest has been known to yield 1–5 Ancient Civilization Cores, though the drop is not guaranteed.

• Efficient Dungeon Runs: Farm dungeons for Bellanoir Slab Fragments, but be prepared to repeat runs since drop rates are low.
• Team Up: Raid bosses are challenging solo. Bringing a team of friends or allies can make the battle easier and faster.
