Wildlife Sanctuaries

Wildlife Sanctuaries are protected islands scattered off the coasts, home to rare and high-level Pals you won't easily find elsewhere. Setting foot on one marks you as a poacher, so they're a high-risk, high-reward detour for filling out your Paldeck.

How they work

  • Each sanctuary is a separate island β€” reach them by flying or swimming mount.
  • Trespassing raises your Wanted level, and the PIDF sends hunters after you.
  • They hold rare species and strong specimens ideal for capture and breeding stock.
  • Higher-numbered sanctuaries hold tougher, higher-level Pals β€” gear up before visiting.

Raiding safely

  • Bring top-tier spheres; sanctuary Pals are high-level and resist weaker ones.
  • Grab captures fast and leave before hunters overwhelm you, or clear them if you're strong.
  • Lower your Wanted level afterward (evade line of sight, or pay it off) to stop the pursuit.
  • A flyer makes hit-and-run captures far safer than fighting through on foot.

What you'll find

  • Rare species and higher-level specimens that make superb breeding stock.
  • A safer, faster way to fill stubborn Paldeck gaps than scouring the mainland.
  • Strong Pals worth capturing over defeating β€” bring enough top-tier spheres.
  • The main risk is the Wanted level; plan an exit route before you land.
