Auri & Shaolong is one of the toughest tower bosses added in Palworld 1.0, waiting for you high above the clouds in Sunreach. The pairing of a commanding tamer and a Dragon/Water Shaolong turns a straightforward burst-damage fight into a positioning puzzle once the arena starts to flood. This guide walks you through where to find the tower, how to prepare your loadout, and how to survive every mechanic on the way to victory.

 

Where & How to Unlock

 

    The Auri & Shaolong tower boss is located on the Azure Tapestry in Sunreach, part of the Sky Islands region, at coordinates -419, -1431. Before the tower will open for you, you must first clear the Feybreak Tower boss, Bjorn & Bastigor. Until Bjorn & Bastigor is defeated, the Sunreach tower stays locked, so make that your priority if the door isn't responding.

 

    Getting up to the Azure Tapestry means committing to aerial travel, so make sure a reliable flying mount is in your party before you set out. Once you arrive at the coordinates, interact with the tower entrance to begin the challenge.

 

 

Recommended Level, Pals & Gear

 

    The recommended level for this fight is 70 for both you and your Pals. Coming in under-leveled makes the flood phase especially punishing, so grind out those last few levels if you need to.

 

    Shaolong is a Dragon/Water-type Pal, which means it is weak to Ice and Electric attacks. Build your team around those two damage types and you'll shred through its health bar much faster.

 

Category	Recommendation
Level	70 (you and your Pals)
Best counter Pal (Ice)	Frostallion — strong Ice damage and can fly
Best counter Pal (Electric)	Orserk — strong Electric damage
Weapons	Mechanical Bow, Combat SMG, Prototype Shotgun, Heavy Assault Rifle
Armor	Ancient Armor / Ancient Helm
Shield	Advanced Shield

 

    Frostallion is the standout pick here: it hits Shaolong's Ice weakness hard and it flies, which becomes essential later in the fight. Orserk is your Electric alternative for stacking elemental pressure. Pair either with the new 1.0 weapons above, the Ancient Armor set, and an Advanced Shield for the survivability you'll need.

 

 

Fight Mechanics

 

    The battle opens with Shaolong going aggressive. It charges directly at you, closing distance fast and trying to bowl you over with raw momentum. Sidestep the charge, then punish the recovery window with your Ice or Electric Pal and follow up with sustained fire from your ranged weapon. Keep your Advanced Shield topped up between charges, because the contact damage adds up quickly.

 

    The defining moment comes later: Shaolong floods the entire arena. The rising water shrinks your usable movement space and takes away the ground you were relying on to dodge its charges. This is where your flying Pal earns its slot — stay airborne, keep out of the water, and attack Shaolong from above while the flood restricts everything below. Frostallion is ideal because it both flies and exploits the Ice weakness during this phase.

 

    Keep chipping away with Ice and Electric damage throughout, reposition constantly so you're never cornered by the shrinking arena, and the health bar will fall.

 

• Lead with Ice or Electric — bring Frostallion or Orserk to hit Shaolong's weaknesses.
• Read the charge: dodge to the side, then counterattack during the recovery.
• Never fight the flood phase on foot — mount a flying Pal and strike from above.
• Keep the Advanced Shield and Ancient Armor topped up to absorb charge contact damage.

 

Rewards

 

    Clearing Auri & Shaolong pays out 5 Ancient Technology Points along with a chunk of character and Pal EXP. On top of the loot, beating this tower boss unlocks a new (Hard) difficulty tier for tower bosses, giving you a fresh challenge to test your endgame builds against once you're ready to climb the towers all over again.

Conclusion

Do that, and the 5 Ancient Technology Points plus a brand-new Hard tier are yours.
