If you’re on a quest to locate Astegon in Palworld but unsure where to begin, this guide will provide all the information you need. Whether you’re looking for its dungeon entrance or aiming to capture this powerful Pal, we’ve got you covered.
Who Is Astegon in Palworld?
Astegon is one of the most formidable Pals in Palworld, straight from the abyss and embodying raw, violent power. As a creature, Astegon stands out not only because of its terrifying strength but also because of its dual type, making it one of the most dangerous Pals to face in the game.
Astegon’s Attributes:
- Type: Dragon/Darkness
- Partner Skills:
- Black Armor Dragon: When mounted, Astegon increases damage to ores.
- Work Capacity:
- Manual Labor Level 1
- Mining Level 4
- Items Dropped: Paluminum Ingot, Pure Quartz
- Encounter Level: ~ Level 48 at the Black Volcano
Astegon is more than just a powerful ally in battles—its utility extends to mining and manual labor, making it a great companion for gathering resources. But to maximize its potential, you’ll need to upgrade its partner skill, and this process isn’t easy.
How to Upgrade Astegon in Palworld Partner Skill
To enhance Astegon’s Black Armor Dragon ability, you’ll need to create an Enrichment Capsule for your Pal. This enrichment requires five Astegon: one primary Astegon and four additional Astegons, which will be sacrificed during the upgrade. By completing this process, Astegon’s partner skill can be boosted to Level 2. If you want to keep upgrading, you’ll need 13 more Astegon to proceed further.
Note that upgrading your Pal’s stats via enrichment will not affect its work capacity, but it will improve the manually activated partner skill, making your gameplay more strategic and rewarding.
How to Mount Astegon in Palworld and Improve Its Speed
Once you reach level 47, you can unlock the saddle needed to mount Astegon. Crafting this saddle requires four technology points. After mounting Astegon, you may want to improve its speed, and this is where the Courier trait comes in handy. If you’re lucky enough to capture Astegon with this trait, it will boost its movement speed by 20%. Keep capturing until you find one with this beneficial trait.
Finding Astegon in Palworld Dungeon in the Black Volcano
Astegon can be encountered in its boss form inside the Black Volcano. However, the entrance to the arena is somewhat hidden. To find it, head to the Black Volcano – Flank teleportation point and traverse the lava swamp located to the west. After passing through the molten lava area, ascend to higher ground where you’ll locate the entrance to Astegon’s dungeon arena.
Once inside, you can spot Astegon roaming the arena. Fortunately, it is non-aggressive, so if you’re not ready for the fight, you can safely retreat and prepare.
Strategies for Defeating Astegon in Palworld
Astegon is a high-level Pal with a dual type: Darkness and Dragon. To stand a chance against this beast, avoid bringing Pals that are of the Dragon, Non-elemental, or Darkness types, as they will be vulnerable to its attacks and won’t be effective in battle. Instead, ice-type Pals are your best bet for dealing massive damage. Pals like Foxcicle or Frostallion are great options, as their partner skills enhance the power of ice-type attacks.
For additional offensive power, you should equip your character with freezing grenades and firearms to increase your damage output. Defensively, consider including Warsect in your team, which has a skill that boosts your character’s overall defense when summoned.
Capturing Astegon in the Boss Arena
Capturing Astegon during a boss fight is no easy feat. You’ll need a high capture success rate and legendary spheres, as lower-tier spheres will have minimal, if any, effect. If you’re struggling to defeat Astegon, we recommend using the Statue of Power to level up your Pals and the Enrichment Capsule to improve their partner skills before reattempting the battle. It may require some preparation, but it will significantly increase your chances of success.
How to Capture Astegon in the Wild
If the boss battle seems too daunting, fear not! You can capture Astegon in the wild, though it requires patience and a bit of stealth. Astegon spawns in a remote wilderness area in the northeast, guarded by the regional militia.
Here, you’ll need to exercise caution. Getting caught by the militia could end your capture attempt. Astegon has a relatively low spawn rate, so it’s recommended to clear the area by defeating or capturing other Pals to refresh the spawn cycle. This increases your chances of encountering Astegon.
To capture wild Astegon, you’ll need legendary spheres, just as you would for its boss form. Lower-tier spheres simply won’t work on such a powerful Pal.
Preparing for Astegon’s Capture
To increase your odds of capturing Astegon, be sure to stock up on legendary spheres before heading into battle. The higher your preparation level, the more likely you’ll succeed in both capturing and utilizing Astegon to its full potential.
Final Thoughts
Astegon is a mighty and fearsome Pal in Palworld, offering players both combat prowess and resource-gathering abilities. While finding and capturing Astegon may be a challenging task, the rewards are well worth the effort. Whether you encounter it in its dungeon boss form or track it down in the wild, having Astegon on your side will significantly enhance your Palworld experience. By following the strategies outlined above, you’ll be well-prepared to capture and harness the full power of this legendary Pal.
