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 — 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 — 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 — bring enough top-tier spheres.
- The main risk is the Wanted level; plan an exit route before you land.
There are three, and each one has an entry requirement
Not «scattered off the coasts» — exactly three, numbered, and the number is the difficulty.
The sphere tier matters as much as your level: a sanctuary Pal you cannot catch is a wasted trip past the drones.
| Sanctuary | Coordinates | Level | Sphere needed |
|---|---|---|---|
| No. 1 | 56, -670 | You at 30+ | Hyper Sphere or better |
| No. 2 | -660, -115 — north of the volcano | Pals 35–50, you at 40+ | Ultra Sphere or better |
| No. 3 | 660, 633 — west of the desert | Pals 45–65 | Exotic Sphere or better |
Two of them have a resident worth the trip on its own: Astegon on No. 2, and
Frostallion Noct at level 65 on No. 3.
The drones are avoidable, not just survivable. The PIDF patrols each island with
drone units carrying a red searchlight of a fixed radius — get caught in the light and they turn on you.
Watching the cones and moving between them is what makes a hit-and-run capture work, and it is why a flyer beats
fighting through on foot.
Still to verify
The three coordinate pairs, level ranges and sphere tiers, and the searchlight behaviour. The coordinates especially deserve an in-game check: they are the kind of detail that gets transcribed wrongly. Written from public sources, not from a playthrough.
