The numbers on the left are the stats with no IV (0) or the lowest possible stat a Pal can have within a specified level.
The red numbers on the right are the stats with max IV (100) or the highest possible stat a Pal can have.
※This table does not include bonuses from Passive Skills, Partner Skills, or any other stat boosts.

Hidden IV Stat Values for Pals

IVs are hidden stats each Pal has for each stat that randomizes their HP, Atk, and Def to a specific range. Having 0 IV for a stat means the Pal gets a 0% bonus, while having the maximum 100 IV gives a 30% bonus to the respective stat.

For example, if two Lamballs have the same passives and buffs, the Lamball with the higher HP IV will always have a higher HP pool.

A Pal's IVs cannot be altered but can be used to influence its child's IVs through breeding. Therefore, breeding is an excellent option to pass a parent's high IV and favorable Passive Skills to obtain a Pal with the highest IVs possible with the preferred Passive Skills.

Necromus does not spawn in any area on the map in the overworld by itself, regardless of whether it is day or night. This Pal can be obtained by hatching Eggs produced by certain Pals or via other means.

Hatch from Huge Dark Egg

Necromus can be hatched from a Huge Dark Egg.

Pal eggs can be found spread across the islands as interactable objects that can be picked up.

They can also be obtained through breeding Pals together in a Breeding Farm. Once you have an egg, place it in an Egg Incubator and wait for it to hatch.

Tips to Defeat Necromus





Be Well Equipped for the Fight

Best Weapons and Equipment

Equipment Details
Palworld - Rocket Launcher Weapon Rocket Launcher ・Deals a lot of damage and knocks enemies down, stunning them and preventing them from retaliating against you.
・Be careful while reloading as it takes a while to load the next rocket.
・Around 100 Rockets should be enough.
Palworld - Assault Rifle Weapon Assault Rifle ・Deals a lot of damage; however, it does not deal damage in an area, unlike the Rocket Launcher.
・Do headshots for bonus damage.
・Bring around 1000 Assault Rifle Ammo.
Palworld - Cold Resistant Pal Metal Armor Cold Resistant Pal Metal Armor ・The desert areas are hot during the day but cold at night. Bring both heat and cold-resistant armors to negate these effects.

Palworld - Heat Resistant Pal Metal Armor Heat Resistant Pal Metal Armor
Palworld - Hyper Shield Hyper Shield ・Equip the Hyper Shield to be able to increase survivability.
・Shields regenerate quickly when not hit, making it a good option in longer fights.

Legendary Sphere is Recommended

Item Materials
Palworld - Legendary SphereLegendary Sphere

The Legendary Pals naturally have low catch rates due to their high levels. For the best chances to capture Necromus, a Legendary Sphere is recommended. To increase the chances of capturing Legendary Pals, you can upgrade your catch rate at Statue of Powers using Lifmunk Effigies.

How to Get Legendary Sphere

Bring Dragon Element Pals

Pal Details
Palworld - Jetragon Jetragon ・Another powerful Legendary Pal with great base stats.
・While mounted, gains access to Jetragon's Aerial Missiles, a powerful Partner Skill that fires a barrage of missiles to the target.
・Difficult to capture due to its strength and level.
Palworld - Quivern Quivern Sky Dragon's Affection, Quivern's Partner Skill, increases the player and Quivern's Dragon element damage dealt while mounted.
・Mount Quivern from time to time to use powerful Dragon element Active Skills such as Dragon Meteor then unmount again to have it re-use that powerful skill.
Palworld - Chillet Chillet ・Chillet has the Partner Skill Wriggling Weasel, which, when mounted, converts the player's attacks to deal Dragon element damage instead.
・Great offensive option for players that invested in the Attack stat and have Legendary Weapons.

Though any Pal with good stats and Active Skills can defeat Necromus, the Pals above are especially recommended.

List of Dark Element Type Pals

Bring both Heat and Cold Resistant Equipment

Palworld - Bring both Heat and Cold Resistant Equipment
The Dessicated Desert can be too cold or too hot depending on the time of the day. It will be best to bring heat and cold-resistant gear in case the temperature changes mid-fight.

Best Armor Tier List

Battle Necromus and Paladius at Fight to Battle them One at a Time

Palworld - Fight Paladius and Necromus at Night
Though Necromus is nocturnal and thus doesn't sleep at night, Paladius is not. To have an easier time battling this legendary duo, initiate the battle at night when Paladius is sleeping so you can fight Necromus solo.

Day and Night Cycle

Bring Powerful Dragon and Dark Element Pals

Palworld - Jetragon
As Necromus fights alongside Paladius, we recommend bringing a powerful Dragon Pal to counter Necromus, and a Dark Pal to deal with Paladius.

Element Type Chart Matchups Explained

Use the Rocket Launcher to Stun

The Rocket Launcher is not only a powerful weapon, but it also briefly stuns enemies hit in the explosion. Make sure to bring enough ammo to deal with both Necromus and Paladius.

How to Craft Rocket Launcher and Stats

Bring a Healing Pal

When fighting the legendary duo, you may be hit by attacks that you did not see or expect. Bring a Pal with a healing Partner Skills such as Lyleen with Harvest Goddess which heals 1000 HP at Partner Skill level 1.
