Palworld Hartalis Raid Guide: Preparation and Fight Plan
Collect the Hartalis Slab Fragments shown by the current crafting screen, craft the slab, then use the raid interface to start the encounter. Use the dedicated Raid Area when available rather than a working base.
Use the Hartalis Pal profile for species data and skills, or the 1.0 boss route guide to compare encounter types.
Make the slab
Check the current reward previews for fragments, then use the workbench screen to confirm the required quantity and craft the slab. Read the activation prompt before starting the raid.
Before you summon
- Use a Raid Area or a disposable base.
- Stage ammunition, repair materials, food, and replacement Pals before inserting the slab.
- Prepare two Palbox presets so you can respond to a phase change quickly.
- Confirm every participant is inside the raid area and ready before activation.
- Back up the world before large multiplayer attempts.
Phase plan
| Phase | What to watch | Team action |
|---|---|---|
| Opening phase | Barrier and damage feedback | Use the first prepared roster without overcommitting |
| Transition | A change in the encounter state | Swap to the second roster if the fight calls for it |
Keep the plan flexible: bring healing, ammunition, repair materials, and a second team instead of relying on one fixed damage answer.
What not to do
- Do not throw spheres at the summoned boss.
- Do not discover your second team after phase two starts.
- Do not place the altar beside storage, breeding farms, or power infrastructure.
- Do not trust a fragment percentage from an unlabeled pre-1.0 page.
Wipe recovery
| Symptom | Recovery step |
|---|---|
| The first barrier lasts too long | Recheck the first roster and the current encounter feedback before spending another slab |
| Phase two stalls | Confirm the second roster is staged and accessible before the next activation |
| Base infrastructure is damaged | Move the next attempt to the Raid Area; do not rebuild the encounter beside production |
| A co-op player misses the start | Recheck the current lobby and raid-area state before the next activation |
Bottom line
Summon Hartalis away from production, stage two teams before activation, and use the current raid screens to guide each adjustment.
