How to Catch Pals

How to Enhance Pals' Stats

Palworld - Enhance Pals

Collecting Pal Souls lets you upgrade your Pal's stats at the Statue of Power. This can be used to increase their combat stats, like their Max HP, Attack, and Defense, as well as their Work Speed.

If ever you upgraded the wrong stats or wish to upgrade to a different Pal instead, there is also the option to reset the Pal's upgrades. You get back all of the Souls spent on the Pal, but you will have to pay a sum of gold to do so.

How to Unlock the Statue of Power

Free Statue of Power in the Desolate Church

Palworld - Desolate Church Statue of Power

If you do not wish to spend the resources to unlock the Statue of Power, there is one available to use for free inside the Desolate Church. This is easily accessed once the Desolate Church's Great Eagle Statue has been unlocked.

Once unlocked, you can simply Fast Travel there to upgrade your Catch Power or your Pals.

Manually Bring Pal Souls to Statue of Power

The main downside to this method is that you will have to carry around Pal Souls in your inventory every time you use this Statue of Power compared to having one built in your base that can grab Souls directly from your Storage.

Unlock at Level 6
