How to Catch Skutlass Ignis in Palworld (Location, Skills & Drops)
Skutlass Ignis is a dual Water / Fire Pal introduced in Palworld's 1.0 update (launched July 10, 2026). You'll find it prowling the searing terrain of Volcano Island, where its scorched-blade silhouette makes it one of the more striking catches in the new build. This guide covers exactly where it spawns, how to bring it home, and what its combat kit and drops are worth.
Skutlass Ignis at a Glance
| Field | Detail |
|---|---|
| Element | Water / Fire |
| Paldeck # | #128B |

Skutlass Ignis is the Ignis variant of the base Water-type Skutlass, layering a secondary Fire typing on top of its aquatic roots. That combination gives it flexible offense and, unusually, a Kindling work rating alongside the expected Watering.
Where to Find Skutlass Ignis
Skutlass Ignis spawns on Volcano Island (internal region volcanoiskand_2) at levels 40-44. There's a second, reliable route if you'd rather not fight through the volcanic heat: it can be reeled in at the Large Fishing Pond, with a roughly 3.66% catch chance per attempt. No numerical map coordinates are documented for this Pal yet, so navigate by the Volcano Island region rather than a pin.
For breeders, the confirmed combo is Skutlass + Gobfin Ignis, which passes the Ignis typing down to the offspring. If you want to skip the volcano entirely, breeding a pair on your base is the most controllable way to farm Skutlass Ignis.
How to Catch Skutlass Ignis
Because Skutlass Ignis carries both Water and Fire typing, no single element cleanly counters it — its Water side is vulnerable to Grass and Electric, while its Fire side is weak to Water. The practical answer is to bring a strong counter-element team, leaning on Electric and Grass Pals to punish its Water half.
- Weaken it first. Open with Electric or Grass attacks against its Water side, or Water attacks against its Fire side. Chip its HP down to a sliver — the lower the health, the higher your capture odds.
- Avoid the kill. At 40-44, one heavy hit can overshoot. Ease off once the HP bar is deep in the red.
- Throw high-tier spheres. Use Hyper or Ultra Spheres given its level range; Mega Spheres will slip too often here.
- Back-throw for the bonus. Land your sphere from behind Skutlass Ignis to trigger the catch-rate multiplier and lock it in faster.
- Stock up. Carry a generous stack of spheres for the fishing-pond route, since the 3.66% appearance rate means multiple casts before one surfaces.
Skills & Stats
Skutlass Ignis's partner skill, Seared Fish Fillet, transforms it into the player's katana (Attack: 2900~4200) when activated — turning the Pal itself into your melee weapon. Be careful: it becomes incapacitated if it does not revert quickly, or if Iaigiri is used, so treat the transformation as a timed burst rather than a permanent stance.
Its highest-value active skills are:
- Fire Ball (600, Fire)
- Geyser Gush (600, Water)
- Hydro Laser (450, Water)
- Hydro Slicer (350, Water)
The full learnable list also includes Hydro Jet (40, Water), Flare Arrow (120, Fire), Flare Storm (200, Fire), and Torrential Blast (250, Water) — giving you both Fire and Water coverage from a single Pal.
At Level 80, Skutlass Ignis lands at HP 3700-4540, Attack 730-919, and Defense 530-674. Paired with Kindling Lv3, Lumbering Lv3, Watering Lv2, and Gathering Lv2, it doubles as a versatile base worker between fights.
Field tips:
- Slot Fire Ball and Geyser Gush together so you can switch elements mid-fight against typed enemies.
- Watch the Seared Fish Fillet timer — never fire Iaigiri while transformed, or you'll knock your own weapon out of action.
- Put its Kindling Lv3 to use at a base furnace when you're not adventuring; few Water Pals can smelt.
- Farm the Volcano Island alpha range (40-44) for Flame Organ and Ancient Relics while hunting spawns.
