Palworld’s Moon Lord is on the Verge of Greatness, But Has…

Palworld's open-world survival mechanics have given many fans opportunities to explore and make bonds with Pals that can help them build their base and fight strong monsters. With the recent Tides of Terraria update (v.0.6.0), Palworld has opened up more adventures with new characters straight out of Terraria.

A notable Terraria-inspired raid boss is Moon Lord, a Cthulhu-like enemy that drops powerful weapons, gear, and consumable items when defeated. On the one hand, it's exciting to challenge such a formidable foe in Palworld's Tides of Terraria update. However, Moon Lord is also missing one notable reward compared to other raid bosses: a Pal egg.

Palworld's Countdown to 1.0 Needs to Start Ticking Faster

Palworld may be pressured to release its 1.0 version sooner than later, as a recent announcement is looming to become a serious threat.

Palworld's Missed Its Opportunity to Give Moon Lord a Pal Egg

Palworld is known for its monster-collecting mechanics, which allow players to use Pal Spheres to capture any Pal they encounter on the field. In the case of powerful raid bosses, they cannot be caught, but they can be incubated and hatched through a Pal egg.

The majority of Palworld's raid bosses drop Pal eggs as rewards, especially if they are beaten within the 10-minute limit. Once players receive them, they can be placed in the Egg Incubator and hatched into powerful new Pals that will be their new allies in combat and/or in gathering resources.

As mentioned, Moon Lord from the Tides of Terraria update doesn't drop Pal eggs, which is a shame for players who might have wanted to recruit the powerful creature into their roster. Moon Lord is Terraria's ultimate endgame boss, and it would have been interesting if Palworld allowed fans to control this monster, especially considering how strong he is as a raid boss. Plus, the Tides of Terraria update is Palworld's first major IP collaboration, so a notable Pal addition like this would be welcome. He would have been a cool catch as well because of his spooky Cthulhu-inspired appearance, which is thematically different from other Pals.

In Terraria, Moon Lord can be summoned by defeating the Celestial Pillars or by using the Celestial Sigil. He's known for executing complicated attacks coming from his hands and eyes, so players must attack these body parts, as well as the core in his chest. Similar to Palworld's Tides of Terraria, defeating Moon Lord in Terraria rewards players with a wide range of loot, like a Portal Gun, Meowmere, and Star Wrath.

On the bright side, the potential rewards after beating Moon Lord are worth the effort, like a Legendary-tier Meowmere Sword and Moon Lord Mask. Players can also get Ancient Civilization Cores and Ancient Civilization Parts, which they can use to build various structures on their base, and other valuable crafting materials.

Palworld's Tides of Terraria Still Brings in More Cool Content

While it's not possible for Palworld fans to capture Moon Lord, Tides of Terraria still has a lot to offer. For one, Tides of Terraria features new island locations, where players can explore, farm materials, and encounter new Pals. The Terraria Dungeon also features enemies from Terraria, as well as allows players to gather crafting materials to create equipment from the game. Palworld might have missed the opportunity to give Moon Lord his own Pal egg, but at least players can experience the wonders of Terraria in a different setting.
