If you are hunting for Ancient Bone in Palworld, you are looking for perhaps the rarest resource in the game. It isn't scattered throughout the Palpagos Islands; it is locked behind a secluded, forcefield-protected location that requires careful preparation to reach.
How to Get Ancient Bone: A Quick Overview
- Prepare a mount: Since there is no Fast Travel point at your destination, you will need a reliable water or flying mount.
- Navigate to the No. 3 Wildlife Sanctuary: Head to the island located off the northeast coast of the Dessicated Dunes.
- Infiltrate stealthily: Avoid the high-level Alpha Pals and security drones by crouching and staying out of the drones' red scanners.
- Mine the remains: Locate the skeletal remains on the island and mine them to collect Ancient Bone.
Reaching the No. 3 Wildlife Sanctuary
Your journey begins in the Dessicated Dunes. Because there is no Fast Travel point on the No. 3 Wildlife Sanctuary itself, you will need to start from either the Deep Sand Dunes or The Furthest Flats travel points. From there, traverse the ocean using a high-quality water or flying mount to reach the forcefield-protected island in the northeast.
Farming Safely: Avoiding Alpha Pals and Drones
Once you arrive, the difficulty level spikes. This sanctuary is home to level 50+ Alpha Pals that are more than capable of ending your run if you aren't careful. Furthermore, the island is patrolled by security drones equipped with red scanners.
To successfully extract Ancient Bone, you must employ stealth. Keep your character crouching to remain undetected by the drone scanners. Move cautiously between the skeletal remains, mine your resources, and be prepared to retreat immediately. Remember that skeletal remains found in other regions of the game will not drop Ancient Bone; your efforts must be focused exclusively on those found within the No. 3 Wildlife Sanctuary.
