Players of Palworld have shared clips of a challenging encounter with the new boss Panthalus added in the 1.0 update. A TikTok video shows one player attempting the fight with an under-leveled pal. The moment has drawn attention online since the update's release about two weeks ago.
Palworld developer Pocketpair released the 1.0 update for the monster-taming game roughly two weeks ago. The update introduced the boss Panthalus on Deserted Islet, which players must reach by collecting fossils.
Streamers including Gingy, Hutch, and Cloakzy struggled to defeat the boss even in a group. A clip posted by TikTok user Iamcamartin shows a solo attempt using a weak oversized chicken pal against the powerful water-type boss.
The video has circulated widely, with comparisons drawn to the Pokémon Kyogre due to Panthalus's design. Some players have triggered the fight by accident while exploring the area.
