Since its release in the middle of January, players have been racing tocomplete their collection of Palsand “beat” the game. Though many of these Pals simply present themselves over the course of a playthrough, others are a lot more difficult to get hold of.

How to find Necromus in Palworld

As a Legendary Pal,Necromusonly appears in one very specific location on the map. Head to the far Northeast of the map, before proceeding to the top of the Desecrated Desert. Beyond the lake, it should be relatively easy to spot Necromus and Paladius together.

Beating the Legendary pair is only possible for the player and a Pal beyond Level 45. Necromus is a Dark-type while Paladius is a Neutral-type, meaning a Dark/Dragon-type is the best way to counter both. Astegon is the obvious choice here as the only Pal in the game that satisfies both requirements.

A super high-damage weapon and Ultra Spheres are both necessities in this encounter because both Pals deal brutal damage to both the player and their accompanying ally. Beyond that, focus them down one at a time before attempting the catch.
