Fighting Alpha Pals and Tower bosses is a huge part of Palworld. They’re a great source of XP for your team of Pals, and in the case of the Alpha variants, capturing them is a great way to get stronger. Bosses do respawn in Palworld, but it might take longer than you think.
Palworld Tower Boss Respawn Timer Explained
All Tower bosses and Alpha Pals respawn in Palworld after defeating them. In the case of Tower bosses like Zoe and Grizzbolt at the Rayne Syndicate Tower, there’s a timer that shows how long you’ll have to wait until the battle becomes available again. The same goes for dungeons and caves that you can find throughout the Palpagos islands.
When Do Alpha Pals Respawn in Palworld?
Alpha Pals will respawn after one real-world hour if you defeat them, which is great news for players who accidentally knock out the boss Pals that they want to catch. Some of the strongest Pals in the game are Alpha Pals like Bushi and Mammorest, so catching them is a great way to build up your team and expand your roster.
The one-hour timer only counts down if you’re in-game, however, so saving and quitting will pause the respawn clock. You have to be actively playing Palworld for one hour to force defeated Alpha Pals to reappear. Remember that some Alpha Pals only spawn at certain times of day — Chillet only spawns during the day and Lovander only spawns at night, for example — so you may have to wait even longer for certain bosses to reappear.
While you can rematch Alpha Pals as many times as you like, you cannot obtain Ancient Civilization Parts from a boss battle more than once. You can check to see if you’ve already claimed Ancient Civilization Parts from a boss battle on your map. If the Alpha Pal icon is marked as complete on your map, then you’ve already gotten the rewards.
Battling Alpha Pals and rematching Syndicate Tower bosses is one of the best ways to power level in Palworld, even if the respawn timers are a bit excessive. While you’re working on your base and exploring the Palpagos Islands, don’t forget to check and see if Alpha Pals have respawned so you can get a nice chunk of XP for your team.
