Element beats gear tier

Against Lily (level 35-40 (fourth tower)) a single party slot swapped to Fire is worth more than a full weapon upgrade — the multiplier is 1.5×.

Condense your counters

A 4-star condensed counter Pal survives long enough to actually contribute. See /guides/pal-essence-condenser-guide.

Re-challenge freely

Tower bosses can be re-fought immediately, so treat the first attempt as reconnaissance rather than a failure.

Co-op is strictly easier

Boss health does not scale with party size in Palworld 1.0 — a second player roughly halves the fight.

Check the maths first

Run your loadout through the DPS calculator at /damage to confirm you clear the health pool inside the timer.
