Xenolord is the Dark/Dragon-element raid boss (Paldeck #196) added in the Feybreak update, and it remains one of the single toughest fights in Palworld as of the 1.0 launch on July 10, 2026. You will not stumble across it in the wild — this is a summon-only encounter that demands the right gear, the right Pals, and a plan. Beat it and you walk away with a Huge Dark Egg that hatches into your very own Xenolord.

 

Xenolord at a glance

 

Attribute	Detail
Element	Dark / Dragon
Paldeck No.	#196
Rarity	Epic (Tier 8)
Partner Skill	Meteor Wings
Work Suitability	Gathering
Weakness	Dragon and Ice
Raid Boss Level	60
Ultra HP	~1,964,000 (10-minute timer)
Key Drops	Huge Dark Egg, Meteorite Fragment, Ancient Civilization Core x3, Ancient Civilization Parts x10, Xenolord (Ultra) Slab

 

    Its partner skill, Meteor Wings, lets you ride Xenolord as a flying mount. Sources differ on the secondary bonus: Game8 reports it boosts the damage of weapon-wielding Pals, while palworld.gg lists a large flying movement-speed increase. Either way, it is a top-tier traversal and combat mount once tamed.

 

How to summon Xenolord

 

    Xenolord cannot be captured in the open world. You have to summon it at a Summoning Altar and defeat it to claim its egg.

 

1. Gather 4 Xenolord's Slab Fragments. These drop from Feybreak dungeons and chests, especially in areas near certain Alpha bosses.
2. Craft Xenolord's Slab at a workbench using the four fragments.
3. Build a Summoning Altar from the build menu under the Others category. It costs a stack of Stone and Paldium Fragments.
4. Offer the Slab at the Altar and confirm the summon. Xenolord appears as a Lv 60 raid boss (an Ultra version can be offered later for a much harder fight).
5. Defeat it before the timer runs out to earn the Huge Dark Egg and the rest of its loot.
6. Hatch the Huge Dark Egg in an Egg Incubator to add Xenolord to your team.

 

 

Building and placing the altar

 

    Placement matters more than most players expect. The Summoning Altar lives in the build wheel's Others tab, and where you put it dictates how manageable the raid feels.

 

 

    Build the altar and your Palbox in a wide, open area. Xenolord throws its Cosmic Meteor attack at the Palbox, which pulls its aggression away from you and lets you pour on damage from range. A cramped, cluttered base does the opposite — it traps you against meteor blasts and the adds Xenolord spawns.

 

Best Pals and weapons

 

Xenolord's Dark/Dragon typing is doubly exposed to Dragon and Ice damage, so lean into both.

 

• Frostallion is the standout pick: an Ice-type flying mount that also resists Xenolord's Dragon attacks, letting it tank and deal super-effective damage at once.
• Dragon-element Pals round out your team for consistent weakness damage.
• Status effects scale hard here. Poison and Burning tick damage based on the boss's enormous max HP, so a Poison Arrow Crossbow chews through that health pool far faster than raw hits.
• Firearms carry the fight. The Laser Gatling Gun provides sustained DPS, while the Rocket Launcher delivers high burst plus area damage against the adds.
• Gear up. Strong armor such as Hexolite equipment paired with Attack Pendants keeps you alive and your damage high.

 

 

Fight strategy

 

Treat this as an attrition battle. Stay at range, let the Palbox soak the Cosmic Meteor, and manage the summons.

 

• Kill the Xenogards/Xenovaders that arrive via meteor immediately — ignore them and you get swarmed.
• Strike during Xenolord's projectile animations or the moment it winds up to fly into the air, when it is most exposed.
• Keep your poison and burn stacks refreshed so the damage-over-time never lapses.

 

Pro tips

• Bring co-op partners. Extra players split aggro and stack DPS, turning a grueling solo grind into a clean kill — essential for the Ultra version and its ~1.96 million HP.
• Overstock ammo before you offer the Slab. The Laser Gatling Gun and Rocket Launcher burn through it, and there is no restocking mid-raid.
• Position your Palbox between you and Xenolord so its meteors land on the box, not on you.

 

Breeding Xenolord

 

    Xenolord is a self-breeding, unique species. The only combo that produces it is Xenolord x Xenolord = Xenolord — no other parent pairing works. To build a breeding line you first need at least one from a successful raid, then pair two together in a Breeding Farm to hatch more.

Conclusion

 

    Xenolord is a wall-check: it punishes underleveled teams and rewards preparation. Bring Ice and Dragon Pals, stack poison and burn on that colossal HP bar, keep your Palbox soaking meteors, and clear the adds — do that and the Huge Dark Egg is yours, along with one of the best flying mounts in the game.
