Where to Find Dupin
Dupin's primary habitat is the World Tree area (worldtree_9_09_E), where it appears at Lv.72-74. You can also encounter a lower-level population through the roaming allarea_1_ClownRabbit spawn at Lv.55, which is the friendlier target if you are still leveling up your team.
Exact map coordinates for Dupin are not yet documented, so sweep the World Tree canopy zones and keep an eye out for its distinctive black-and-cream markings. There is no named alpha or boss variant tied to Dupin beyond the standard spawns listed above, and its breeding combo isn't documented yet — for now, catching it in the wild is your reliable path to a Dupin.
How to Catch Dupin
Fire Pals are weak to Water on the standard Palworld type chart, so build your capture squad around it.
- Bring a strong Water-element team. Water attacks land extra damage on Dupin, letting you chip its HP quickly without accidentally knocking it out.
- Pack high-tier spheres. At Lv.72-74, Dupin is a sturdy catch — bring Hyper, Ultra, or Legendary Spheres to keep your capture rate high.
- Weaken, don't wipe. Whittle Dupin down to a sliver of health, ideally applying a status effect to boost the catch chance, then stop attacking.
- Throw from behind. Approach from the rear for the backstab capture bonus and land your spheres while its HP bar is deep in the red.
- Stock up on supplies. Dupin's fire attacks apply Burn, so carry healing items and consider a fire-resistant armor set before engaging the higher-level World Tree spawns.
Skills & Stats
Dupin's partner skill, Trick-Loving Fluffle, is a clutch defensive tool: when the player's health drops below 50%, it generates a fire explosion around the player (Power 100, Burn buildup 777) and grants a 30% Attack boost. That makes Dupin a strong panic-button companion in drawn-out fights.
Its top active skills are:
- Trickster Show (700) — Dupin's exclusive partner active skill and its hardest hitter
- Fire Ball (600)
- Ignis Rage (500)
- Volcanic Rain (450)
At Level 80, Dupin lands in these ranges:
- HP: 4,900-6,100
- Attack: 760-958
- Defense: 650-830
Away from combat, Dupin earns its keep with Kindling Lv7 — excellent for furnaces and forges — backed by Handiwork Lv5, Medicine Production Lv4, and Transporting Lv2, making it a genuinely versatile base worker.
Practical tips:
- Slot Dupin at a furnace or smelter first; Kindling Lv7 is its standout base value.
- Keep it as an active party member for the Trick-Loving Fluffle bailout when a fight turns against you.
- Lead with Trickster Show against Grass, Ice, and Neutral targets to melt them fast.
- Farm the World Tree spawns for World Tree Holy Water and Fire Radiant Gem while you catch spares.
