How to Catch Astegon in Palworld (Location, Skills & Drops)
Astegon has the strongest mining bonus in Palworld by a wide margin: riding it increases your damage to ores by 1,100 to 3,300% and yields 150 to 300% more Ore. That is not a marginal improvement over the alternatives — it more than doubles what you collect per node on top of breaking them almost instantly. It also drops Plasteel at 100%, is a flying mount, and has Mining Lv7 at base. If ore is your bottleneck, this is the Pal.
Astegon at a Glance

| Element | Dragon / Dark |
| Paldeck # | #158 |
| Partner Skill | Flying mount. Ore damage +1,100~3,300%, and +150~300% more Ore while mounted |
| Work Suitability | Mining Lv7, Handiwork Lv3 |
| Notable Drops | Plasteel (2 – 3, 100%), Large Pal Soul (1, 100%), Dragon Radiant Gem, full relic ladder |

Where to Find Astegon
- Isle of Silence — Level 55, at coordinates -689, -110.
- The World Tree — Level 80.
The Level 55 Isle of Silence version is what you catch for the mining skill — it is identical at every level, and its Plasteel (2 – 3) and Large Pal Soul (1) drops are both 100% regardless.
That Plasteel drop is quietly important. Plasteel x3 is required for every Computer, and Computers feed AI Core — the component in nearly every ancient-tier weapon and armor recipe. A 100% Plasteel source is worth knowing about.
The Level 80 population is a top-tier farm:
| Drop | Quantity | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Dragon Radiant Gem | 10 – 20 | 100% |
| Decayed Ancient Relic | 30 – 50 | 100% |
| Dormant Ancient Relic | 10 – 20 | 100% |
| Gorgeous Ancient Relic | 4 – 8 | 100% |
| Plasteel | 2 – 3 | 100% |
| Large Pal Soul | 1 | 100% |
The Best Mining Mount in the Game
Astegon's partner skill has two separate effects, and both are large:
- Damage to ores +1,100~3,300% — nodes break almost instantly.
- +150~300% more Ore obtained while mounted — you collect two to four times as much per node.
Compare the alternative. Mammorest grants +500~2000% mining efficiency, which is excellent — but it does not increase the quantity you receive. Astegon does both: it breaks the node faster and gives you more from it.
For anyone running the ore chain, that is transformative. Refined Ingot is 2 Ore + 2 Coal, Paldium Fragment can be crushed from 2 Ore, and the ancient tier consumes ingots by the hundred — the Ancient Furnace alone needs Coralum Ingot x100. Doubling to quadrupling your ore per node compounds through every one of those recipes.
At base it also brings Mining Lv7 — behind only Aegidron's Lv8, and ahead of Knocklem Ignis, Dualith and Tetroise Primo.
Its offensive kit is genuinely strong for a utility Pal:
- Dragon Meteor (600) and Dark Whisp (600)
- Firefist Breathstorm (450) — exclusive
- Dark Laser (450)
- Nightmare Ball (300)
Skills & Stats
At Level 80:
- HP: 4,900 – 6,100
- Attack: 850 – 1,075
- Defense: 800 – 1,025
That is a genuinely good combat statline — the Attack matches Aegidron, Eidrolon and Flaracle among Palworld 1.0's Pals, and the Defense of 800 – 1,025 matches Dualith. Astegon is not a farming Pal you tolerate in the party; it can fight.
It hatches from a Huge Dragon Egg at CombiRank 490, which is low enough to make breeding realistic. That egg also produces Orserk (CombiRank 120) and Jormuntide (590), so a Dragon breeding line covers three excellent Pals.
How to Catch Astegon
- Bring Ice attackers. Astegon is Dragon/Dark — Ice punishes the Dragon half and Dragon punishes the Dark half. Moldron Cryst (Ice/Ground, 850 – 1,075 Attack) is ideal.
- Do not bring Neutral Pals. Its Dark half beats them.
- Take the Level 55 Isle of Silence version for the mining skill — coordinates -689, -110.
- Use Sol or Ancient Spheres at Level 80, after chipping it into the red.
- Or breed one at CombiRank 490 from a Huge Dragon Egg.
Practical tips
- Ride it to every mining session. +1,100~3,300% ore damage and +150~300% ore quantity beats Mammorest, which only does speed.
- Catch the Level 55 Isle of Silence version at -689, -110 — the skill is identical to Level 80's.
- Plasteel at 2 – 3 (100%) feeds the Computer → AI Core chain.
- Mining Lv7 at base, second only to Aegidron.
- The Huge Dragon Egg also gives Orserk and Jormuntide — one breeding line, three top-tier Pals.
Running your own Palworld 1.0 server
Ore chains are the definition of work that should continue while you are away — mine a haul, then let the furnaces run. A dedicated Palworld 1.0 server keeps your Ancient Furnace and assembly lines converting ore into ingots around the clock, so a session with Astegon turns into finished materials rather than a full chest and a queue. Full crossplay lets a group split mining and production, and one-click backups protect the result.
Conclusion
Astegon is a Dragon/Dark Pal found at Level 55 on the Isle of Silence (-689, -110) and Level 80 in the World Tree. Its partner skill is the strongest mining bonus in Palworld — +1,100~3,300% ore damage and +150~300% more ore obtained — which beats Mammorest's speed-only bonus because it increases quantity too. It drops Plasteel at 2 – 3 (100%) for the Computer and AI Core chain, brings Mining Lv7 at base, and its Level 80 population carries Dragon Radiant Gem at 10 – 20 (100%) plus the best relic table in the game. Bring Ice attackers, or breed one at CombiRank 490.
