Palworld Sunreach Guide: Unlock and Clear the Sky Islands

Published

Sunreach is the sky-island region added in 1.0. Think of it as a route puzzle first and a farming zone second: you need to get in, cross disconnected islands, disable six Defense Modules, then clear the central tower before the endgame chain really opens.

Quick answer

Your Sunreach route is:

  1. Clear the Feybreak Tower fight.
  2. Use the tower altar to enter Sunreach.
  3. Travel by flyer or island teleport orbs.
  4. Disable six Defense Modules.
  5. Enter the central tower.
  6. Defeat Auri and Shaolong.
  7. Talk to Auri afterward and move toward the World Tree route.

Pre-entry checklist

Need Why it matters
Cold-resistant or high-end armor The region is late-game and punishes undergeared players
A dependable flying mount Islands are separated by open air
High-tier spheres Many catches sit well above early-game comfort levels
Electric or Ice damage The tower boss leans into Dragon/Water pressure
Empty inventory space Sunreach trips turn into resource and chest runs quickly

If your team still struggles with Bastigor at Feybreak Tower, do not rush the sky islands. Fix your gear first with Best Weapons and Armor.

Finding and clearing the modules

The module step is where most wasted time happens. Do not fly straight to the tower door and wonder why nothing opens.

Use this method:

  • Start from the outer islands and sweep inward.
  • Look for vertical light beams or obvious device landmarks.
  • Interact with each module once and mentally count it.
  • In multiplayer, have every player verify their own progress instead of assuming the host’s state counts for everyone.
  • Only return to the central tower after the barrier behavior changes.

This route also doubles as your first Soralite survey. Mark places where enemies, ore, and flat building space overlap.

The tower fight

The main fight is Auri and Shaolong. The safest approach is not clever: bring durable armor, use cover when the arena pressures you, and keep damage steady. Electric and Ice attackers are the most natural answers to a Dragon/Water boss profile.

Do not build the whole plan around one Pal. Bring backups. If the arena floods or movement gets awkward, a flyer can turn a messy phase into a simple repositioning problem.

What to do after Sunreach opens

Sunreach becomes useful for four reasons:

  1. Soralite farming for 1.0 gear routes.
  2. New Pal hunting for the 1.0 roster.
  3. Enemy-base chest routes for endgame preparation.
  4. World Tree progress because the story chain continues after the tower clear.

For the new roster, start with All New Pals in 1.0. For farming and base placement, use Best Base Locations.

Notable Sunreach targets

Target Why to care
Eidrolon Useful flyer and region catch
Puffolt Electric option with base value
Snock Electric catch that fits the zone’s pressure
Souffline New Grass line worth logging while you sweep
Tropicaw Another easy-to-remember region catch

Common mistakes

  • Entering without a real flyer.
  • Ignoring module progress and wasting time at the tower door.
  • Treating the first clear as a full farming route. Scout first, optimize later.
  • Forgetting to talk to the NPC after the boss.
  • Spending Soralite before you know your gear plan.

Bottom line

Sunreach is the 1.0 bridge. Clear it cleanly, learn the route, gather Soralite, and then move into the World Tree chain with a team that can survive endgame fights.

Frequently asked questions

How do you unlock Sunreach?

Clear the Feybreak Tower fight, then use the altar at the tower to enter the Sunreach region.

What should I bring to Sunreach?

Bring endgame armor, a reliable flyer, strong spheres, Electric or Ice damage, and enough supplies for a long island route.

What do the six modules do?

The six Defense Modules hold the central tower barrier in place. Disable all six before trying to enter the tower.

Is Shaolong catchable from the tower fight?

Treat the tower fight as a boss clear, not a capture route. Use the Pal pages and later regions for ownership routes.

What should I farm in Sunreach after the boss?

Prioritize Soralite, new Pal catches, enemy-base chests, and route knowledge for the World Tree chain.
