Since its dramatic arrival in the Sakurajima update, the Palworld Xenogard has quickly become one of the most sought-after creatures on the Palpagos Islands. For many players in the Palworld universe, finding the elusive Xenogard is a thrilling challenge. This magnificent Dragon-type Pal, with its purplish-black body encased in white, otherworldly armor and shimmering crystalline wings, is as powerful as it is mysterious. Its Paldeck entry teases a fascinating lore, describing it as a being that consumes information for energy and seems to be constantly sending messages to an unknown recipient. Who wouldn't want this cosmic dragon on their team?

The Mystery of the Meteorite Event

Xenogard isn't a Pal you can simply stumble upon while exploring. This creature is an exclusive spawn tied to the Meteorite Event. When a meteor crashes down in a high-level zone, there's a small chance that instead of the usual Xenovaders, a single, powerful Xenogard will appear, complete with a boss health bar. Talk about a grand entrance! ☄️

So, where should you be looking? Based on player reports and event patterns, your best bet is to hang around these high-level areas:

  • The Dessicated Desert

  • The Astral Mountains

These arid and icy landscapes seem to attract Xenogard's meteorite with greater consistency. Interestingly, it seems to avoid the newer Sakurajima island for its crash landings, preferring the classic mainland regions.

How to Find Xenogard (The Smart Way)

Waiting around for a random event that has a low chance of spawning the Pal you want can be frustrating. Luckily, the Palworld community has discovered a few tricks to significantly speed up the hunt for Xenogard.

First, a simple but game-changing tip is to adjust your world settings. Since the 0.3.4 update, you can now increase the frequency of meteorite events. If you're hosting your own game, simply dive into the settings and crank up that slider. This will make the sky fall much more often, giving you more opportunities to encounter Xenogard.

For Steam players, there's an even more direct method known as the "reroll trick":

  1. Play the game until you receive a notification for a different world event, like a Supply Drop.

  2. As soon as you see the notification, return to the title screen.

  3. Select your world and choose the "Restore from Backup Data" option.

  4. Load a recent autosave from just before the event notification popped up.

  5. This can reroll the event, potentially turning that boring Supply Drop into a Xenogard-bearing Meteorite! It might take a few tries, but it's way faster than waiting for hours.

Keep in mind this reroll method is confirmed for single-player and self-hosted games on Steam. Its effectiveness on dedicated servers is uncertain, as server admins have more control over the world state.

Preparing for Battle: Don't Get Wrecked!

Finding a Xenogard is only half the battle; this cosmic dragon doesn't go down without a fight. You wouldn't want to finally find one only to get completely wiped, would you? Preparation is absolutely key.

As a Dragon-type Pal, Xenogard is critically weak to Ice-element attacks. This is the most important fact to remember. Bring your strongest Ice Pals to the fight. A high-level Frostallion is an exceptional choice, as its powerful ice moves will chip away at Xenogard's health rapidly. Your own gear is just as important. Equip your best armor, bring a powerful shield, and stock up on Recovery Meds to heal over time during the intense battle.

Once its health is critically low, it's time for the capture. Don't risk it with lesser spheres! You'll want to have a healthy supply of Legendary Spheres on hand to give yourself the highest possible chance of success. After all that work, you deserve to bring it home.
