(logo chiming) - [Narrator] "Palworld" has absolutely been taking the gaming world by storm. Love it or hate it, this thing is massive and if you're jumping in,
there's a lot to learn and a lot of things the game doesn't quite spell out for you. It is a survival game
type thing after all. So here are 10 tips
for you to get started. Let's get started off with number 10. This is a useful trick
discovered by user JaykayX71. Now, when you're starting out, it doesn't take too much
to get overencumbered. When you go over your carrying weight, it can slow your character down, so they can't really sprint as much and eventually you can't move it all. It's really, really annoying,
like it is in a lot of games, but there is a way to make it so you can still sprint even when you go over your carry limit. The trick is pretty simple. Just drop any resources
you have on the ground so that you're not overweight. Be sure to drop, not discard the items. If you discard them,
they're just gone forever. Dropping them puts them in
little items on the ground, which is what you want
for this trick to work. Now, just back up a little and sprint forward while
holding the sprint key or sprint key button down. Collect anything you drop on the ground and you'll be able to continue sprinting even when you're overencumbered. Your overall speed is a little slower and be sure not to try and carry too much, because if you're picking up enough where you can't move at all,
this trick doesn't work. But if you're only around 10 points or so over the limit, then the game will just
let you keep sprinting. If you stop at any point, then you'll have to drop your
stuff again and start over. But even with that downside,
this trick makes it much easier to get all your stuff back to your base without having to either abandon anything or force you to make multiple trips. It's likely that they'll
patch this out eventually, but at least at the time
of writing this video, it still works. Next, over at number nine,
here's a pretty great trick for getting up in the air quickly. Just use a Pal Sphere on an
easy to capture creature. Then climb on top of the sphere while it's in the middle of capturing, and if the creature gets caught, then you're suddenly launched
hundreds of feet into the air. Yeah, it's probably,
like, some early access jank type stuff, a glitch, but still. We can't take credit for finding this one. This trick was discovered by
a Redditer named Blkmonte01, and it works exactly as they describe. It's not something that we expect will stay in the game long though. Like I said, it's just some
early access weird stuff, but it's fun to mess
around with while it lasts, maybe gain some quick height,
and it's pretty easy to do. The main thing to remember is that you want to be
standing on top of the Sphere while it's capturing. If it finishes while you're
clinging to the side, then it won't work. So give yourself plenty of time and you'll get launched into
the air pretty much every time. Next, over at number eight,
like "Hogwarts Legacy" and some other games,
one of the easiest ways to make money in "Palworld" is just to be a ruthless, evil poacher. Just capture as many Pals as possible, then sell them to
merchants for a big profit. That's dark enough on its own, but what you may not have known is that you can also sell human beings. Yes, this Pokemon-like
kid-friendly crafting game has human trafficking in it and it's actually pretty easy to do. So first, you'll need to capture a human. Any NPC in the game can be
obtained with a Pal Sphere. There is no indication that it can be done when you aim a Sphere at a person, but it does sometimes work. Now with a human in your pocket, you can put them to work at your base or just sell them off,
the same as any Pal. The two types of merchants
that will buy Pals and humans are Pal Merchants, which tend to be in the
settlements around the islands and the Black Marketeers
who are more hidden, but always appear in
the same spots at least. So you can actually sell people
to either one of these guys. It doesn't actually matter which, and humans are actually worth a lot, so it's actually worth it to capture some people and sell them off if you wanna make some quick cash. We're talking about video games. Please don't clip this out
of context, it's not real. Let's move on. Over at number seven, one of the more useful tools in "Palworld" is the Grapple Gun, which is
very handy for climbing cliffs or just speeding up
traversal through the world. The only real downside to
these things is the cool down, which severely limits what
you can do with this tool. There is a quick way around it though. Just equip two Grapple Guns at once. Each grapple has its own cool down, so if you wanna grapple again quickly, just switch to your
backup and do it again. This also allows for some
pretty fun little tricks, because when you switch from
one Grapple Gun to another, that cancels the pull, which sends you flying in a direction. Now you can target a wall
and not just grab onto it, but fling yourself over it and use the second grapple
to pull yourself to safety, kind of like "Just Cause" style, but in a weird, broken, glitchy way. With the higher level
grapples that you can get, they have faster cool downs and you can do even crazier stuff. We're not skilled enough
to go full-blown Spider-Man and just swing everywhere, but it seems like it's kind of possible. Next, over at number six, one
good thing about "Palworld" is how it allows you to automate many of the most boring
parts of crafting games. Instead of forcing you to do everything, you can actually work smart, not hard. Have your Pals work for you. It's mostly a pretty simple system that we don't need to explain, but there are a few tricks you can do to make your Pals work more
efficiently in your base. For starters, if you want a specific Pal to work on a specific workbench or job, then just walk over to them, pick them up, and then throw them at the
thing you want them to work on. That'll force them to prioritize that job over anything else. This is especially useful for Pals who can do a lot of things. Because they're so versatile, they'll often go and do something that you don't want them to do right now. So picking them up and
throwing them at the thing is very useful for getting confused or easily distracted Pals back on track. Now, one other way to make Pals stronger is to condense them. You do this by placing a
Pal in a condensing machine, which will combine multiple
Pals into one better one. This doesn't just increase their stats. It also has the added benefit of making them more efficient workers. So condensing is useful even for Pals that you
aren't using in combat. It starts to take a lot of these guys to reach higher ranks after a while, but just one or two upgrades
can make a big difference. We did want to give
credit to user Tooks_TV for figuring this one out. We would've never known
without this comment. Next at number five, unlike
some games of this type, which have confusing algorithms for how monster spawning works, in "Palworld", it's all
pretty simple it seems. If there's a certain Pal
you're looking for in an area, but can't find, then just leave the area or leave the island and come back. Depending on where you
are, this can be as easy as just swimming away for
a second and coming back or just fast traveling out of the area and then fast traveling back into it. Do that and all the Pal spawns
in the area seemingly reset, refreshing everything
in the immediate area and hopefully making any Pals
you're looking for appear at least at some point,
like, this is also useful for farming the human
enemies for experience and it even works against bosses. Just leave the boss area and then come back and they'll reset. So if you want a different creature or just one with different traits, then it's really that simple. Next, over at number four, we
found this out the hard way, but if you've got a wooden base, then you're gonna want to keep
any fire Pals away from it. 'Cause wood isn't just
flammable, the flames can spread. So it's possible to
lose all your hard work in the blink of an eye. If your base does catch on fire, the best way to keep it from spreading is to simply disassemble
the parts that are on fire. You'll have to rebuild the lost parts, but at least you can
get back your resources and it immediately puts out
anything that's on fire. It's sort of a weird video game solution, but hey, it works, and it beats your whole base
burning down by accident. The fire Pals are great, they're very useful in
specific spots on your base, but if you build a big wooden castle, just hope they don't
attack anything near there. That could be a disaster. Now, over at number three, if you're paying attention to the game and see that it uses a lot
of elements from other games, it should come as no surprise that they have their
own version of Shinies called Lucky Pals. These unique variants of the
Pals are way bigger and shinier and they have unique traits
that regular Pals can't get. They're also pretty rare. So much so that it's
possible to play through all of the available early access content and barely see one. Visually these guys do stand out, but they can kind of
get lost in the scenery. So if you really want to
catch one of these things, then what you really need
to do is listen for them. Yes, whenever one
appears in your vicinity, a little jingle plays. (water whooshing)
(Pal chiming) (bird chirping) That little musical cue is your clue that one of these things is nearby. Like, depending on where you are, you're way more likely to hear the jingle than you are actually
see one of these guys. So keep the volume turned up and listen when you're
hunting for Lucky Pals, that's probably your
best way to find them, at least as of right now. Now down to number two, we'll admit it. This one is more of an Easter egg, but it's odd enough to mention, at this specific spot in the world here, you can find this weird
character named Reincarnated Guy who is basically just a big
joke on isekai protagonists. He talks about how he was killed and suddenly appeared in "Palworld", but with an amazing new power. If you're unfamiliar with
the whole isekai phenomenon, it's this subgenre of
anime with a basic premises of, like, a normal person getting transported into a fantasy world. Usually they'll have some
kind of overpowered ability. It's a power fantasy basically. So what amazing power does this guy get? He can generate pizza from his hands, then he gives you a slice,
completely pointless, but hey, free pizza, I
guess pizza's on him, heh. Finally, down at number
one, the major platforms for "Palworld" are
currently Steam and Xbox and PC Game Pass. Both have their pros and cons, but if you want the most
up-to-date version of the game with the most implemented features, then the Steam version really is superior. Now, we don't know how
accurate all this will be in the next few days
with updates and stuff, but at least at the time
of making this video, the Game Pass version of "Palworld" is missing some features
that the Steam version has. There are no dedicated
servers on Game Pass, so the only way to play online
is through online co-op. Strangely, there is no way to exit out of the game on PC Game Pass. You have to either Alt + F4 or Tab out and manually shut the
game down, do your thing. The Game Pass version also apparently still has some developer
cheats still in the game, which is actually kind
of interesting to us. But being able to use
mods for the Steam version overwrites that, that's the coolest thing. If you're primarily an Xbox player, then some of these changes are minor, but not that big a deal. But if you're a PC player
who's using Game Pass, it's really gonna feel like you're getting the second class treatment
here a little bit. The problem is a boring one,
it's, like, a corporate one. It boils down to the certification
process for Microsoft. It puts many Game Pass games a week or so behind the Steam
version in terms of updates, and that's actually a consistent problem with Game Pass games. Also keep in mind that these really are two different versions of the
game with their own problems. One is built for the PC platform while the other is for Xbox. Yes, even the Game Pass one, which is odd, but that's just how
Microsoft does it here. Obviously it's up to you to
decide which version you prefer. It's not that big of a deal. The Game Pass one is cheaper, 'cause it's only the
price of a subscription while the Steam version is more expensive, but it is technically the
primary version of the game that's a little bit more up to date. Now there are players switching
from Game Pass to Steam if they like it enough and
probably for good reason. If you're in this game for the long haul, then getting the Steam version
just makes sense to us. That's everything we got,
but we got one more one, like, some bonus tips about
moving your camp or your base. Don't feel the need to move
your home base right away. If you find a pretty new location and you wanna set up near
a waterfall or something, more power to you. But setting up near the
starting area and sticking there for a good chunk as you
develop is a good move, even if it's a little more boring. There are consistent resources there and everything you need. So your Pals will always be chopping wood, gathering berries, stuff like that. You might find a nice
area later on and set up, only to realize if you need
some extra wood in a pinch, you gotta walk three
minutes to go get some. It sounds like nothing, but early on in the
game, it can get old fast until you get your productions
established properly. Having a nice cozy spot near
the start is fine anyway, because fast travel is generous. It's practically anywhere
as long as you find and unlock those glowy red orange statues you see in the distance. As for moving your base, the
game gives you the option to abandon your old camp
from the map screen, so you don't have to
manually go there and do it. In reality, all this really
does is remove your Palbox for you to put it somewhere else. So if you have stuff stored
in crates at your base, you're gonna have to trudge back and forth and move your stuff over to the new one. At least that's what we've learned now. This is a survival game after all. There is going to be some tedium. Also be mindful of where you
place your Palbox in an area. Pals spawn from the air
directly behind the box, so you need to make sure they're not spawning in a weird spot, or like me, where they end
up spawning on a rock plateau where they can't get down. Every time I go back home, I
have to pick up the creatures and manually toss them off the rock. So yeah, careful where
you put your Palbox. You could have them spawn
and get stuck somewhere. Maybe, maybe not. It's early access, it's messy sometimes. Just be careful where you drop your roots. Anyway, those are 10 or so
tips and tricks for the game, a couple of things the game
doesn't spell out for you, but if you got any other tips,
let us know in the comments. People are gonna be
scrolling the comments, looking for more help. So if you got anything good,
drop it down there for people. But if you liked this video and maybe it helped you out a little bit, clicking the like
button's all you gotta do, it helps us out. But as always, thanks for watching, and we'll see you guys next time.
