Ancient Civilization Cores are among the most elusive resources in Palworld. As you progress into the late game, you will find these cores are a mandatory requirement for manufacturing top-tier equipment. Because they are rare and often guarded by formidable foes, securing a steady supply requires preparation and a high-level squad.
How to Get Ancient Civilization Cores
There are three primary methods to farm Ancient Civilization Cores. Depending on your current level and gear, some methods may be more efficient than others:
- Defeating Raid Bosses: This is a reliable way to secure cores, but it requires a high-level team. You will need to take down Blazamut Ryu, Bellanoir, or Bellanoir Libero. These encounters are designed for players around level 50.
- The Oil Rig Chest: A large chest located on the Oil Rig, situated off the eastern coast of the starting island, contains these cores. Be aware that this is a high-level activity, and you should reach the near-max level cap before attempting to raid the rig.
- Pal Expeditions: For a lower-effort approach, check your available Pal Expeditions. Several expeditions offer Ancient Civilization Cores as a potential reward. While the yield can vary, this is an excellent passive method to stock up while you focus on other tasks.
Crafting Recipes Using Ancient Civilization Cores
Once you have gathered your cores, you can use them to craft the following late-game items:
- Ability Glasses
- Electric Egg Incubator
- Large-Scale Electric Egg Incubator
- Ultra Shield
- Advanced Shield
- Homing Module
- Sniper Module II
To ensure you are prepared for these challenges, make sure your squad is equipped with high-damage firearms. Successfully farming these materials is a major step toward optimizing your late-game loadout.
