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 DLC adds the Moonflower Tower (Saya and Selyne) and the Feybreak DLC adds the Feybreak Tower (Bjorn and Bastigor) — seven towers in total.
Each fight has a 10-minute time limit. 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 25) → Axel & Orserk (Lv 40) → Marcus & Faleris (Lv 45) → Victor & Shadowbeak (Lv 50) → Saya & Selyne (Lv 55) → Bjorn & Bastigor (Lv 58). Don't skip ahead more than one tier without an upgraded weapon and a counter Pal — the 10-minute clock punishes under-leveled attempts.
Faction names + tower-to-region mapping below come from each tower's marker description in our seed data; boss-Pal element data joins from our Pal-stats file. Counter recommendations follow Palworld's canonical type chart. Levels match the canonical palworld.wiki.gg/wiki/Tower table.

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 in the game, 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 or Helzephyr 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, with Shadowbeak Lux (yes, bred from the previous tower's boss) being a strong choice. Saya's kit uses lunar AOE patterns; stay clear of the moonlit ground tells and burst Selyne first.
Highest HP pool in the game — Bastigor is a Fire-weak Ice boss that needs full endgame gear plus a Fire Pal (Faleris, Suzaku Lux). 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.
Hard Mode unlocks once you have defeated six Faction Leaders on Normal. Six of the seven Hard Mode encounters cap at Level 55 — Bjorn is the lone outlier at Level 60. HP pools scale roughly 4–12× over Normal, and most fights introduce additional adds or a mid-fight mechanic twist. The 10-minute timer and one-attempt-per-cooldown rules carry over unchanged.
Rewards are cosmetic-only — Tamer outfits, statue skins and name banners. Ancient Civilization Parts and Ancient Technology Points do not stack beyond the Normal clear, so Hard Mode is a bragging-rights collector run, never a farming target.

Stats sourced live from each tower's dedicated palworld.wiki.gg page (Zoe, Lily, Axel, Marcus, Victor) plus the Tower top-page table (level cap row for Saya & Bjorn). The Saya_and_Selyne and Bjorn_and_Bastigor per-boss pages are still stubs as of 2026-06-03 — Hard Mode HP for those two will land once the community backfills them.
Zoe & GrizzboltLv 55 · 366,200 HP
Hard Mode adds a Level 55 Syndicate Crusher fighting alongside the duo — clear it first or burst Grizzbolt past 70% to phase the add.
Lily & LyleenLv 55 · 380,000 HP
Two Level 55 Free Pal Alliance Devouts spawn with crossbows; Lyleen also leans on Water-element attacks in Hard Mode, so the Fire-counter pivots toward Electric coverage for the back half of the fight.
Axel & OrserkLv 55 · 352,200 HP
Mossanda Lux and Relaxaurus Lux join as adds; Orserk itself gains Grass-element moves in Hard Mode, so the Ice/Ground counter holds but bring Fire coverage for the Grass surprise.
Marcus & FalerisLv 55 · 352,200 HP
Hard Mode brings PIDF Infantry and Elites onto the rooftop alongside Marcus; clear them off the AOE pads first or your Water-Pal eats stim-grenade chip damage.
Victor & ShadowbeakLv 55 · 407,500 HP
At ~30% HP Shadowbeak spawns a clone with an identical health pool (distinguish via the second HP bar). AOE skills like Holy Burst or Air Blade and a Vampiric passive on your Pal handle both originals at once.
Saya & SelyneLv 55
Hard Mode HP not yet documented on palworld.wiki.gg (page is a stub). Hard Mode level itself stays at 55, same as Normal — Sakurajima moves the Hard scaling onto add-spawns and pattern speed rather than a level bump.
Bjorn & BastigorLv 60
Bjorn's Hard Mode is the only one that scales past Level 55 — the boss caps at Level 60. Wiki.gg per-boss HP value not yet published; bring the same Fire / Suzaku Lux loadout as Normal with a damage-amplifying passive (Demon God, Legend) stacked on the carry Pal.
Recommended approach: clear all 7 towers on Normal first to bank the ATP + Ancient Civilization Parts, then come back for Hard Mode with end-game gear and a counter-element team you trust. Cooldowns and the 10-minute timer apply the same way as Normal — no quality-of-life concessions.
Yes — wiping or running out the clock just kicks you out. Walk back through the door and the encounter restarts. Bring more healing items and a Pal that counters the table's 'Element' column.
Yes. Moonflower Tower (Saya / Selyne) requires the Sakurajima content; Feybreak Tower (Bjorn / Bastigor) requires the Feybreak content. The five base-game towers are accessible to all owners.
They're separate systems. Towers are timed faction fights gated by story; Sealed Realms are open-world boss arenas unlocked with key items. Both reward unique high-level Pals (towers via story progression, realms via guaranteed capture).
Match the tower's listed level or run a few levels above. Lv 10 Grizzbolt is the natural first tower; Lv 25 Lyleen wants mid-game gear; Lv 40 Orserk onwards (Lv 45 Faleris, Lv 50 Shadowbeak, Lv 55 Selyne, Lv 58 Bastigor) needs late-game weapons and a counter-element team. The cheat-sheet above lists every tower's exact wiki.gg-canonical boss level.
Yes — every tower clear awards a fixed stack of Ancient Civilization Parts (also called Cores), the crafting ingredient for late-game gear like the Hyper Shield and Mega Grappling Gun. See our dedicated guide on how to farm them efficiently.
Yes — towers can be re-challenged after their cooldown resets. A 5-tower rotation is the fastest source of Ancient Civilization Parts in the game (see our farming guide). The story rewards only fire once but the loot keeps coming.
Yes — but it does not unlock per-tower. Hard Mode opens for all previously cleared towers at once after you've defeated six Faction Leaders on Normal (per palworld.wiki.gg). Six of the seven Hard Mode encounters cap at Level 55; Bjorn is the only outlier and scales to Level 60. HP pools jump roughly 4–12× over Normal and most fights add a mob or a mid-fight mechanic (a Lv 55 Syndicate Crusher joins Zoe; Shadowbeak spawns a clone at ~30% HP; Lyleen leans on Water moves; Orserk gains Grass moves). Rewards are cosmetic only — statue skins and Tamer outfits — so Hard Mode is a collector run, not a farming target.
Defeat six Faction Leader tower bosses on Normal. Once the sixth Normal clear lands, every previously cleared tower opens its Hard Mode option from the same fight prompt at the tower base (per palworld.wiki.gg/wiki/Tower). The unlock is account-wide for that save — you don't have to repeat earlier fights in any particular order.
Tower → faction + region mapping comes from our marker-seed descriptions (paldb.cc extraction). Boss-Pal element data joins from pal-stats.json. Tamer-to-Pal pairings and the 10-minute time limit are cross-checked against palworld.wiki.gg/wiki/Tower. Levels match the canonical Tower table.
