The route
1Cross to the southern islandsEvery mapped Nox is on the Isle of Murmurs or the Isle of Silence. There are none in the Windswept Hills at all, which is why players who stay north assume the Pal is rare.All 3 hotspots off the main landmass
2Search after darkNox is nocturnal, but nothing forces it to spawn only at night. Night is the reliable window, and the islands are small enough to sweep twice.Nocturnal, spawns in daylight too
3Throw a basic sphereLevels run 4 to 15 and Nox does not hit hard. Dark takes extra from Dragon, but nothing in this band needs a counter. It runs before it fights.Wild levels 4 to 15
4Kill the spares for Small Pal SoulsNox drops a Small Pal Soul at 40 percent, far above the 1 percent most early Pals carry. Two out of five kills gives you a soul, which is real progress on statue upgrades.Small Pal Soul at 40%
5Put it in the party before you go effigy huntingKuudere is an activated skill that reveals nearby Pal Effigies for 30 seconds on a 60 second cooldown. Effigies are what raise your capture power, so this is a catch-rate skill in disguise.60 second cooldown, 30 second window

Huge Dark Egg

The Huge Dark Egg pool in the Windswept Hills has only three outcomes, so a third of them are Nox. The Large Dark Egg is nearly as good at 31.25 percent of seven.

Pairs that make a Nox

36 pairs land on Nox, several of them from Pals you already own in the first hour. Worth a Cake if you want one above the wild cap of 15, not worth it otherwise.

The Ravine Grotto alpha

Ravine Grotto fields Nox at every rank, including an alpha at levels 17 to 19. That is above the wild cap of 15, so the cave is the only place to get a high-level one without breeding.

Lv 17 to 19 alphaNo field bossShow dungeons on the map
There is no Nox in the Windswept Hills. All 182 mapped points are on the southern islands, so a search that never crosses water will never find one.
Kuudere finds effigies, it does not collect them. You still have to reach each one and hand it in at a Statue of Power for the capture power to change.
Wild levels stop at 15. The Ravine Grotto alpha at 17 to 19 is the only wild-caught Nox above that, and it is a cave encounter rather than a field boss.
Why bother
Kuudere detects nearby Pal Effigies on demand, and effigies handed in at a Statue of Power raise your capture power permanently. Nox is therefore a Pal you catch to catch other Pals. It also drops Small Pal Souls at 40 percent, which is the highest early rate in the game.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Where does Nox spawn in Palworld 1.0?

Only on the southern islands. The Isle of Murmurs holds 50 of the 182 mapped points and the Isle of Silence holds another 74 across two clusters, all at levels 4 to 15.

Is Nox night only?

It is nocturnal, but nothing stops it from spawning in daylight too. Hunt after dark first, and treat daylight sweeps as worth a try rather than pointless.

How does Nox help you find Pal Effigies?

Its activated partner skill Kuudere reveals nearby effigies for 30 seconds on a 60 second cooldown. Effigies raise capture power when handed in, so Nox indirectly improves every catch you make.

Is Nox a good Small Pal Soul farm?

It is the best early one. Nox drops a Small Pal Soul at 40 percent, while most Pals in this range sit at 1 percent. Roughly two in five kills yields one.

Is there an Alpha Nox?

Yes, in Ravine Grotto at levels 17 to 19, which is above the wild cap of 15. There is no field boss Nox anywhere on the overworld map.
