🌊 Hunting Grounds: Isle of Decayed Treasures

Head east from Eastern Wild Island until you spot the newly added Isle of Decayed Treasures. This ain't your typical tropical getaway - ruined ships litter the coastline where Turtacles casually patrol. Remember these pro tips for capture success:

  • Mount Requirements: Fly over or swim across using appropriate mounts (no walking allowed!)

  • Combat Strategy:

• Weaken but DON'T knock out

• Sneak attacks from behind boost capture rates 🎯

• Use mid-tier spheres for best results

But why struggle with combat when you can fish? 🎣

🐟 The Art of Fishing for Turtacle

Before casting your line, you'll need to unlock fishing through gameplay progression. Once equipped with a rod, hit these prime fishing holes along the central forest biome's edges:

Location Activity Level Recommended Time
Verdant Brook ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Morning
Eastern Wild Island ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Noon
Marsh Island ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sunset
Bamboo Groves ⭐⭐⭐ Any

Spot those telltale shadows in the water? That's your cue! Cast near them and embrace the waiting game - patience pays off with this elusive pal. Ever wonder why some players prefer fishing over direct combat? Maybe it's the thrill of surprise...

⚖️ Why Bother? Turtacle's Game-Changing Perks

Once caught, you've got options:

As Companion:

  • Reduces armor weight by 30% in inventory (goodbye encumbrance!)

  • Best in support slots since combat skills are... underwhelming 😅

Base Assignee:


Watering: ▰▰▰▰▱ (Lv2)

Mining: ▰▱▱▱▱ (Lv1)

Transport: ▰▱▱▱▱ (Lv1)

That weight reduction alone makes it worth the hunt - imagine carrying twice the gear without snail-pace movement! But is it truly essential for late-game players? The community's still debating that one...

With continuous updates rolling out since 2024, Palworld keeps evolving beyond creature collecting into proper ecosystem management. Turtacle represents more than just another pal entry - it's Pocketpair's commitment to refining gameplay loops. Whether you're hauling resources or redesigning bases, this humble turtle might just become your unsung hero. What other secrets might the Tides of Terraria update still hide? 🤫
