Step one

Two populations, 40 levels apart

The pin near Crescent Moon Shore is the one to use: 30 forest cave locations at levels 20 to 23. The two Feybreak pins are the open ground population, and they do not start until level 63.

The route
1Fly to [53, -180] and find a grotto entranceThe forest caves above Crescent Moon Shore. Felbat holds 30 distinct cave locations here at levels 20 to 23, and no open ground below level 63 anywhere in the game.30 cave locations, Lv 20 to 23
2Expect a 1 in 5 roll insideThe monster-only table in these grottos holds 5 Pals at equal weight: Felbat, Katress, Grintale, Beegarde and Loupmoon. The ordinary table adds a sixth. Both are far kinder than anything on the surface.20 percent, best odds it has
3Bring Dragon damageFelbat is pure Dark, so Dragon is the only element with a bonus against it. It is not a dangerous fight at level 20, but a cave is a poor place to spend five minutes on one target.Dark, weak to Dragon
4Throw Mega Spheres and keep the party off itA Mega Sphere is the sensible tier for the low twenties. Set your Pals to passive before the last hit, because the cave rolls are not frequent enough to waste one on an accidental kill.Overkill loses the catch
5Clear the grotto boss if you want an alphaBoth Mountain Stream Grottos field Felbat at the Boss and MidBoss ranks at levels 27 to 29 with the alpha flag set, one per rank. That is the only alpha Felbat anywhere below level 63.Lv 27 to 29, alpha flagged

The open ground population is level 63

121 points sit on Feybreak ice at levels 63 to 66. Felbat is 11.86 percent of one table there and 4.29 percent of the other, sharing with Sootseer at 42.92 percent. Take one if you are already out there, but the caves solve this 40 levels earlier.

Dark eggs on the Tenraku routes

The Large Dark Egg from the common Tenraku routes gives Felbat at 16.13 percent among 7 outcomes. The Huge Dark Egg from the rare Tenraku routes gives the alpha form at 14.29 percent, also among 7. Both are worse than a cave run and neither lets you pick a level.

BreedingNo cheaper
1181 pairs and not one of them is cheaper

Felbat is the child of more pairs than almost any Pal in the game, but the cheapest of them still needs a parent around level 20, which is exactly where the cave route already sits. Breed one only when you want a chosen level or a passive set.

Dead endBlocked
No field boss, no camp, no raid, no rod

Felbat has 0 field bosses, 0 camp squads, 0 raid tiers, 0 quest encounters and 0 fishing sources. Every fixed encounter it has is a grotto boss, which is why the cave route carries the whole page.

0 field bosses0 camps0 raid tiersShow field bosses on the map
There are 60 cave points, but they cover only 30 actual locations. Each grotto carries Felbat on both the normal and the monster-only table, so the same entrance is recorded twice. Plan around 30 caves, not 60.
There is nothing between level 29 and level 63. The grotto alpha tops out at 29 and the next Felbat in the game is a level 63 spawn on Feybreak ice, so if you skip the caves you are waiting a very long time.
Felbat is flagged nocturnal, yet none of its 181 mapped points is marked night only. Running the grottos at midday works exactly as well as running them at night.
Why bother
Life Steal is the reason to carry one long after you have filled the Paldeck: while Felbat is fighting beside you, both of you restore 5 percent of the damage you deal as Health. It also brings Medicine Production level 3 to a base, which is a scarce skill at this point in the game, and 3 catches in 100 drop a Small Pal Soul.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Where does Felbat spawn in Palworld 1.0?

Inside the forest grottos around [53, -180] at levels 20 to 23, on 30 cave locations, and on Feybreak ice at levels 63 to 66. There is nothing on open ground in between.

Why can I never find a Felbat on the surface?

Because below level 63 it does not spawn on the surface at all. Every early Felbat is a cave interior spawn, where it is 20 percent of a 5 Pal table.

How do you get an alpha Felbat?

Clear a Mountain Stream Grotto. Felbat sits at both the Boss and MidBoss ranks at levels 27 to 29 with the alpha flag, one of each. The only other alpha is a Huge Dark Egg at 14.29 percent.

What is Felbat actually good for?

Life Steal, which restores 5 percent of the damage both you and Felbat deal as Health while it fights beside you. On a base it is a Medicine Production level 3 worker, and it is not rideable.

Is it worth breeding a Felbat?

Only for a specific level or passives. 1181 pairs produce one, which is close to the top of the game, but the cheapest still needs a level 20 parent and the caves are already open at level 20.
