Lifmunk Effigies are wooden idols scattered across Palpagos Islands. Offering them at a Statue of Power raises your Capture Power rank, which makes Pals easier to catch. Each rank costs more effigies than the last — early ranks are cheap, the highest tiers require many at once.
You can offer effigies at any Statue of Power (most fast-travel statues count, plus every base contains one). Use the interactive map to mark each one as found so you can resume hunting wherever you stopped.

Regional breakdown — counts pulled from the marker seed. Each region's effigy table is below; click a region row to jump there.
Counts are recomputed from our marker seed each time the page builds — the total (605) reflects current seed coverage rather than a hardcoded number.
Capture Power ranks 1-14 are the in-game ladder; each rank consumes a fixed number of Lifmunk Effigies at any Statue of Power. The Statue itself unlocks at player level 6. Costs below are sourced from palworld.fandom.com/wiki/Lifmunk_Effigy (verified live 2026-06-04).

| Rank 14MAX | 51 | 353 | 58% |
Reaching Rank 14 (max) takes 353 effigies — about 58% of the 605 effigies our marker seed has mapped across Palpagos + DLCs. The remaining ~252 effigies still sell at merchants, so a complete sweep is never wasted.
Table source: palworld.fandom.com/wiki/Lifmunk_Effigy. Major patches occasionally re-balance late-tier costs; we re-verify quarterly.
605+ Effigies scattered across the map sounds hopeless; three community-known tricks turn it into a routine. Each is a fact AI Overviews already cite — the consolidated version lives here.
Hunt at night
Effigies emit a pale green glow visible up to ~80 meters in night cycles. Daylight washes the glow out; the same patch of forest that hides five Effigies in a day run reveals them as a cluster of green sparks at night. Start your loop at dusk to triple detection range without changing routes.
Fly the route
Mounted on a Nitewing, Vanwyrm, or Beakon and coasting at low altitude, you sweep the whole vantage of a region in minutes. Pair with the night-glow trick and the dim Effigy markers stand out against the dark terrain. Skip ground runs once a Lv-15 saddle is unlocked.
Behind waterfalls + caves
Effigies hide in alcoves behind waterfalls and at the back of cave-mouth shadows — exactly the spots a fast flying scan misses. When the live map shows an Effigy you can't see, look for water on the terrain and walk through it. The hitbox is forgiving.
Coords use the in-game world axes (x, y) — the values match what the world-map tooltip shows when you hover a location. Each region inlines its first 10 effigies for scannability; use the filtered map link to see the rest plus "mark as found" toggles.

No — reaching Rank 14 (the in-game cap) takes 353 effigies, while our marker seed maps 605 across Palpagos and DLCs. That leaves a ~252-effigy buffer; you can skip the most awkward late-game pickups and still max your Capture Power. The remaining effigies sell at merchants, so a complete sweep is never wasted.
Capture Power is the primary use. The effigies themselves are not used as crafting ingredients in our items database, so once you've grabbed them and offered them at a statue you don't need to track them again.
Smaller side-island regions (Sea Breeze, Forgotten Island) have less map coverage in general. The number you see in the table is what our marker seed currently contains — if more effigies turn up on those islands in a future patch the table will update on the next data refresh.
No. Effigies are one-time pickups per save file. Once collected, the location stays empty for that save — re-roll a new game if you want to collect them again. This is why marking each one on a map matters: you can't backtrack to re-test a spot.
Follow the in-game progression — every region you naturally pass through has effigies clustered near fast-travel statues and landmarks. There's no XP penalty for grabbing them late, but the capture-rate boost compounds, so the earlier you stack ranks the easier mid-game captures become. Use our map's region filter to clean-sweep a biome before moving on.
Statues of Power are stone monuments scattered across Palpagos — every fast-travel point doubles as one, and each base ships with a personal statue you can interact with without travelling. They're the only spots where you can spend collected effigies to raise Capture Power.
The full per-rank table runs from 1 effigy at Rank 1 up to 51 effigies at Rank 14 — cumulative total is 353 effigies for max Capture Power. Costs scale roughly linearly (+4 effigies per rank after Rank 3). See the “Capture Power upgrade costs” section above for the complete rank-by-rank breakdown.
Effigies have no inventory use outside Statues of Power — they're not crafting ingredients, they don't sell for gold, and they don't decay. If you're already at maximum Capture Power and find more, you can leave them on the ground or treat them as a completionist tally. There's no penalty for either.
Every effigy location comes from our marker seed (605 entries, paldb.cc extraction). Per- rank Capture Power costs are not duplicated here — those shift across patches; the official wiki is cited for the current table.
