How to treat Incapacitated in Palworld

The Pal has reached zero HP and cannot recover through normal food or medicine.

0 HPHealth10 minRevive timerNoMedicine works
The short answer

Place the Pal in a Palbox storage slot for 10 minutes. Food, condition medicine, and Recovery Meds cannot revive a Pal from zero HP.

Use the right treatment

What cures Incapacitated?

The Pal is unconscious and unusable until the Palbox revival timer completes.

Required treatment

10 minutes in the Palbox

Follow the steps below; no condition-medicine item is required.

Step by step

Treat it cleanly

  1. 01

    Open a Palbox

    Move the unconscious Pal out of your party or the base roster and into a normal Palbox storage slot.

  2. 02

    Leave it stored for 10 minutes

    The countdown appears on the Pal portrait. Keep the world running until it completes.

  3. 03

    Allow extra HP recovery if needed

    Once revived, the Pal can regenerate normally. Give it more Palbox time before a difficult redeployment.

Root cause

Why it happens

Cause 1

Reaching zero HP in combat, raids, or environmental damage.

Cause 2

Leaving a starving base Pal stuck away from its Feed Box.

Cause 3

Continuing a difficult fight after the Pal is already badly injured.

Base care

Stop it coming back

Recall party Pals before a lethal attack and rotate in a healthy team member.

Keep Feed Boxes accessible and inspect base pathing after construction changes.

Use Recovery Meds before health reaches zero; they cannot help after incapacitation.
