Where Depresso appears after dark

All 453 mapped Depresso points. The clusters sit at very different levels, so the right pin depends on whether you want a level 5 Depresso for a Ranch or a level 24 one for a fight.

1Wait for night before you travelEvery open-world Depresso spot is night only. Arriving at midday means standing on the right coordinates with nothing to catch.405 of 453 points are night only
2Pick the patch that matches the level you wantThe Golden Hills and Eastern Wild Island spawners run levels 4 to 8. Southern Palpagos runs 13 to 24. A Ranch worker and a fighting Depresso come from different halves of the map.9 spawner groups, levels 4 to 24
3Bring Dragon if you fight at allDepresso is pure Dark, so Dragon damage cuts through it. At levels 4 to 8 you will not need it, and at 18 to 24 you will.Dark, weak to Dragon
4Throw a basic sphere low, a Mega highBasic spheres land the level 4 to 8 population easily. The southern spawners at 18 to 24 want Mega Spheres and a bar of damage taken off first.Levels 4 to 24 across the map
5Put it on a Ranch, not in a mineCaffeine Inoculation makes Depresso drop Venom Glands on a Ranch. Its Mining and Handiwork are both level 1, so the Ranch is where it earns the slot.Handiwork, Mining, Transporting, Farming, all 1

Camp squadBy accident
One Hunter camp

Exactly one enemy camp in the game fields a Depresso, and it fields one. No fixed level is set for it. Treat it as something that happens to you rather than a plan.

Dark Egg

A quarter of the Windswept Hills Dark Egg pool is Depresso, which is fine, but the Large version drops to about 1.6 percent across seven results. With 453 wild points this is never the fast route.

Pairs that make a Depresso

Eighteen pairs land on Depresso. Worth a Cake only when you want a specific level or a passive chain, because the wild population already spans levels 4 to 24.

AlphaCaverns only
Cavern alpha, no field boss

No Depresso field boss exists. It is alpha flagged at levels 10 to 13 in the grass caverns, and those 48 cavern spots are also the only Depresso spawns in the game that are not night restricted.

◆Depresso is nocturnal: 405 of its 453 overworld points are night only. The 48 that are not are the grass cavern spots, so a daytime Depresso means going underground.
◆The heatmap hides a 20 level spread. The southern cluster is levels 13 to 24 and the eastern one is 4 to 7, so the same Pal costs a basic sphere in one place and a Mega in another.
◆Venom Glands come from the Ranch as well as the catch. Caffeine Inoculation is worded as a chance rather than a guarantee, so treat the Ranch as a trickle and the catch as the reliable 2 to 3.
Why bother
Depresso is a Venom Gland source that never runs dry: 2 to 3 per catch at 100 percent, and Caffeine Inoculation makes it produce more on a Ranch. The same skill doubles its own Movement and Work Speed for 30 seconds on a 60 second cooldown, which is unusual on a Pal whose four work suitabilities are all level 1.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Where does Depresso spawn in Palworld 1.0?

Across nine spawner groups on the main island, with the densest ground in southern Palpagos around [-197, -405]. Lower level pockets sit on the Eastern Wild Island and in the Golden Hills.

Does Depresso only spawn at night?

In the open world, yes. 405 of its 453 points are night only. The 48 exceptions are grass cavern spots, so the only daytime Depresso is an underground one.

What level is a wild Depresso?

Anywhere from 4 to 24 depending on the patch. The Golden Hills and eastern spawners run levels 4 to 8, and the southern Palpagos ground runs 13 to 24.

Is Depresso a good Venom Gland farm?

Yes. It gives 2 to 3 Venom Glands at 100 percent per catch, and Caffeine Inoculation adds a chance of more while it is assigned to a Ranch. With 453 spawn points there is no shortage of them.

Is there an Alpha Depresso?

Not on the world map. Depresso has no field boss, but it is alpha flagged at levels 10 to 13 in Hillside Cavern, the three Isolated Island Caverns and Meadow 01.
