Dungeons

Dungeons can be found around the Palpagos Islands. They hold some unique Pals and at least one Alpha Pal. You can find several chests throughout the dungeon as well as two guaranteed chests at the end.

Dungeons come in tiers, with each dungeon type having a different pool of Alpha Pals. At the end of each dungeon is one guaranteed Alpha version of a Pal.

There is a bug which occurs where, if the boss Pal isn't the type you want, you can walk about one and a half rooms away then return and it will be replaced with another from the same Dungeon pool. It is possible to find Alphas during times of day they are not normally available.

Currently, Dungeons are the only spawn location where  Killamari can be found.

After 200 mins whether you complete a dungeon or not it will reset and move to a new location.

The end game Dungeons appear to be a good location for farming Legendary Accessories. On top of that, killing or capturing the final boss gives nearly twice as much experience as one would get from capturing the non-dungeon variant. For the early game, the dungeons tend to contain large deposits of Paldium which is extremely helpful if the dungeon is close to a Fast Travel point.

Dungeon Layouts

Dungeons use one of a select few layouts. Based on which rooms you encounter after the entrance, it is trivial to determine which direction the boss is located in.

Exploring the Dungeon

There are a few handy tips that can be used when exploring the dungeons:

- Leaving a cheap and disposable item in the rooms you have already explored, such as a Paldium Fragment, can be a very helpful means of navigation.

- Bringing a fast and small ground mount will trivialize your traversal of the dungeons. Currently the best Pal for the job is Fengelope, which has the ability to double-jump. For those who plan to do a lot of dungeon exploring, it is suggested to breed a Fengelope with any combination of Swift, Runner, and Legend Passive Skills, as these will give 20%, 20%, and 15% movement speed respectively.

- It is quite common for there to be a passage that is flooded with water before the boss room. Whilst not every flooded passage is the correct way, it is more likely to be than other passages.
