Palworld has carved out a unique niche in the survival genre, blending base building and crafting with the thrill of collecting elemental creatures called Pals. Among the many Pals roaming the world, some stand out as true challenges—the Boss Pals. These powered-up versions test your combat skills and team-building prowess. One such formidable foe is Quivern, a Dragon-type dungeon boss that players often seek out for its rare drops and impressive mount ability. In this guide, we'll walk you through everything you need to know about finding and defeating Quivern in 2026.

🗺️ Where to Find Quivern

Locating Quivern requires a bit of exploration. The boss resides inside a dungeon at the coordinates -255, -130, which is a short distance north of the Sealed Realm Of The Winged Tyrant teleport statue. Once you arrive at the spot, look for a circle of blue light—that's the dungeon entrance. Step through it, and the fight will begin shortly after. Make sure you're prepared before entering, as there's no turning back once you're inside.

⚔️ How to Beat Quivern

Quivern might be only level 23, but it packs a punch with three different elemental attacks. The key to victory is bringing a diverse team that can exploit its weaknesses and resist its moves. Here's what you need to know:

  • Ice-type Pals like Chillet are your best friends here. They deal bonus damage to Dragon-types, helping you whittle down Quivern's health quickly.

  • Pals that resist Dragon, Ice, or Fire—such as Penking or Grizzbolt—can soak up hits and keep the pressure on.

Now, let's break down Quivern's attacks so you know what to dodge:

  1. Draconic Breath – A continuous stream of fire that deals heavy Dragon-type damage. Keep moving sideways to avoid the beam.

  2. Acid Rain – An AoE attack that follows you for a short time, dealing Water-type damage. Roll away as soon as you see the markers.

  3. Spirit Fire – A quick barrage of minor Fire damage. It's easy to sidestep if you stay mobile.

All of these attacks are highly telegraphed and can be avoided by rolling or simply running around. As long as you're equipped with the best gear available at level 23, you shouldn't have much trouble. Remember to heal your Pals and use your own weapons wisely—Quivern hits hard if you stand still.

🎁 Rewards for Defeating or Capturing Quivern

Once you emerge victorious, you'll be rewarded with a handful of valuable items:

  • Ancient Civilization Parts

  • Precious Plume

  • High-Quality Pal Oil

If you manage to capture Quivern instead of defeating it, you'll also gain a powerful flying mount that adds Dragon damage to your attacks while mounted. That alone makes the fight worth the effort.

💡 Final Tips

  • Stock up on healing items and ammo before entering the dungeon.

  • Consider bringing a mix of Ice-type attackers and tanky Pals that can resist multiple elements.

  • Practice your dodge rolls—Quivern's attacks are easy to avoid with a bit of timing.

  • If you're struggling, level up a bit more or upgrade your gear. Level 23 is the minimum, but being overleveled never hurts.

With this guide, you're ready to track down Quivern and claim its rewards. Whether you need its drops for crafting or want a new flying mount, this Dragon-type boss is a worthy challenge for any Palworld player in 2026. Good luck, and happy hunting! 🐉
