Boss Towers gate progression in Palworld. The five base-game towers belong to the Rayne Syndicate (Zoe and Grizzbolt), Free Pal Alliance (Lily and Lyleen), Brothers of the Eternal Pyre (Axel and Orserk), PIDF (Marcus and Faleris), and PAL Genetic Research Unit (Victor and Shadowbeak). The Sakurajima expansion adds the Moonflower Tower (Saya and Selyne), the Feybreak expansion adds the Feybreak Tower (Bjorn and Bastigor), and Palworld 1.0 added the Tower of the Azure Covenant on Sunreach (Auri and Shaolong) — eight faction towers, all of them in the table below. There is a ninth tower boss, Zenara and Astralym at Lv 80, but it is not one of the faction towers: its arena is the Sealed Sanctum in the World Tree (our map lists that tower as Within the Seal), which is why it is absent from this list.
Each fight has a 5-minute time limit — Palworld 1.0 cut it from 10 minutes and adjusted boss stats to match. The tower entrance is its own fast-travel point — unlock it on approach so you can respawn at the door if you wipe inside.

Towers gate by boss level — the natural progression is Zoe & Grizzbolt (Lv 10) → Lily & Lyleen (Lv 20) → Axel & Orserk (Lv 30) → Marcus & Faleris (Lv 40) → Victor & Shadowbeak (Lv 50) → Saya & Selyne (Lv 55) → Bjorn & Bastigor (Lv 60) → Auri & Shaolong (Lv 68). Don't skip ahead more than one tier without an upgraded weapon and a counter Pal — the 5-minute clock punishes under-leveled attempts.
Faction names come from the tower markers in our seed data; the region column and boss-Pal elements are written into this table, the elements checked against our Pal-stats file. Counter recommendations follow Palworld's type chart. Levels and HP were re-read on 17 August 2026 from paldb (v1.0.3), with every Normal level independently confirmed against game8 — the figures this table carried before then were pre-1.0 and wrong on all but one row.

Per-tower notes — boss HP, element + counter, and a short strategy paragraph. Anchor links match the faction names in the cheat-sheet above.
First tower in the natural progression. Grizzbolt's Electric kit hits hard but its HP pool is the smallest of the eight tower bosses, so even a Ground-typed mid-tier Pal clears the fight in under 5 minutes if you keep close enough to interrupt the lightning casts.
Lyleen heals over the fight, so DPS-race matters — open with a Fire-typed Pal and stack burn damage to outpace the heal. Lily herself uses ranged weapons; close the gap while your Pal pressures Lyleen, then split focus on the Tamer once the boss is past half HP.
Dual-typed Dragon + Electric means both Ice and Ground counter Orserk — Frostallion or Anubis both work, with Frostallion winning on damage output. Axel's Tamer kit deals Fire damage so cold-resist gear helps both sides of the fight.
Faleris is a flying Fire boss — bring a Water-typed Pal (Jormuntide or Suzaku Aqua) and stay mobile to avoid the ground-pound AOE. Marcus's mech pet adds chip damage at range, so don't ignore him while your Pal pressures Faleris.
Shadowbeak's Dark kit dodges between melee swings — Dragon-typed counters like Jormuntide Ignis land cleanest. Victor uses long-range tech weapons; keep moving and let your Pal soak the boss's burst between his volleys.
Selyne is a Dark legendary — Dragon-typed Pals counter it. Saya's kit uses lunar AOE patterns; stay clear of the moonlit ground tells and burst Selyne first.
A Fire-weak Ice boss that needs full endgame gear plus a Fire Pal such as Faleris or Suzaku. Bjorn requires you to clear Dazzi Noct / Caprity Noct / Omascul field bosses for bounty tokens before he'll fight — don't fast-travel up the Feybreak peak without that gate cleared first.
Clearing Bjorn on Feybreak is what opens Sunreach, so this is the tower you reach last. Shaolong is Dragon and Water at once, which means Electric and Ice both bite — an Electric carry is the cleaner pick because it covers the Water half without feeding the Dragon half.
Hard Mode unlocks once you defeat the boss in the Azure Covenant Tower — Palworld 1.0 changed that requirement from clearing six Faction Leaders on Normal. In line with the player level cap rising to 80, 1.0 also reviewed and adjusted the levels and difficulty of high-difficulty content including Tower Boss Hard Mode, and the table below lists each fight's 1.0 level and HP from paldb, with the HP growth in the last column. Most fights introduce additional adds or a mid-fight mechanic twist. The 5-minute timer and one-attempt-per-cooldown rules carry over unchanged.
Rewards are not cosmetic only. paldb's Hard Mode drop tables give a Training Crystal on every clear and a chance at Lotus (L) and a Schematic 4 beside the hat, and wiki.gg's 1.0 notes say Hard clears open expeditions whose rewards include Kinship Peach.

Levels and HP: paldb.cc/en/Tower and each boss's paldb page, re-read 17 August 2026. wiki.gg's per-boss pages still carry older HP for several bosses, so they are not used for these numbers.

Recommended approach: clear all 8 towers on Normal first — Hard Mode opens only after the Azure Covenant Tower — then come back with end-game gear and a counter-element team you trust. Cooldowns and the 5-minute timer apply the same way as Normal — no quality-of-life concessions.
Tower → faction + region mapping comes from our marker-seed descriptions (paldb.cc extraction), which is also where the eighth tower came from. Boss-Pal element data joins from pal-stats.json. Normal and Hard levels and HP come from paldb.cc/en/Tower at version v1.0.3, cross-checked against game8's tower-boss list. The 5-minute time limit comes from the official Palworld 1.0 patch notes, which cut it from 10 minutes.
