Tarantriss: Location and How to Get It

Run the forest grottos around [11, -187] from level 20. Tarantriss is 16.67 percent of the normal cave table and arrives 2 or 3 at a time, so one good roll fills the slot.

Tarantriss
Step one

Caves first, then the forest above them

The big pin is one cluster holding both the level 20 grotto entrances and the level 32 open forest. The boss pin is a single fixed level 35 boss, and the Feybreak pin is the late game cavern population.

The route
1Fly to [11, -187] and go into the grottosThe forest caves above Crescent Moon Shore. Tarantriss is on 30 grotto locations at levels 20 to 23, with a count of 2 to 3 per spawn, which no other route on this page offers.2 to 3 per spawn, Lv 20 to 23
2Ignore the monster-only roomsTarantriss sits on the normal cave table at 16.67 percent and is absent from the monster-only table entirely. That is unusual for a grotto Pal and it means half the cave rolls cannot produce one.Normal table only, 16.67 percent
3Bring Dragon damageTarantriss is pure Dark, so Dragon is the only element with a bonus against it. At level 20 the fight is short, and shortening it further is what lets you clear several rooms in one run.Dark, weak to Dragon
4Throw Mega Spheres, party on passiveA Mega Sphere is the right tier for the low twenties. Turn your own Pals off before the last hit, because a group of 2 or 3 is easy to wipe out with area damage before you have caught any.Overkill loses the catch
5Ride it and use the webTarantriss is a mount that can double jump while ridden and fire a web to grapple and pull itself along at speed. It is one of the few ground mounts that handles vertical terrain properly.Double jump and grapple

4 alternatives checked against the wild catch route
Egg hatchGuaranteed
Dark Egg from the Bamboo Groves, one outcome

The Bamboo Groves pool on the plain Dark Egg holds exactly one outcome and it is Tarantriss, so every one of those eggs hatches into this Pal. The marsh and forest pool gives it at 25 percent out of 3. The Dark Egg is the cheapest dark tier in the game.

Field bossGuaranteed
One fixed level 35 field boss

At [-343, -252] near the Deep Bamboo Thicket. Guaranteed and repeatable, but 15 levels above the grottos and no better than them for a first catch. Take it when you want a higher level one without walking to Feybreak.

Feybreak Cavern, for the alpha

Tarantriss is 20 percent of the normal Feybreak cavern table at levels 52 to 55 and 14.29 percent of its boss table, where it appears as an alpha at 56 to 58 or as a non-alpha pair at 50 to 55. Those are the highest level Tarantriss in the game.

Camp squadBy accident
One Ninja camp keeps one in a cage room

There is exactly one camp squad appearance, in the cage room of a Ninja camp, with a count of 1 and no level recorded. Worth knowing about if you are clearing that camp anyway, not worth travelling for.

1 camp appearanceCount of 1No level recordedShow enemy camps on the map
Tarantriss is on the normal grotto table and not on the monster-only one, which is the opposite of how Felbat, Grintale and Beegarde behave in the same caves. Half of the cave rolls in a forest grotto therefore cannot give you one.
The 133 mapped points cover 103 real locations. The 60 Feybreak cavern points are 30 caves counted once on the boss table and once on the normal table, so do not read that number as 60 places to visit.
Both of its drops are guaranteed: 2 to 5 Fiber and 2 to 5 Venom Glands on every catch. If you need venom in bulk before the desert opens up, a grotto run is the shortest path to it.
Why bother
Tarantriss is a mount that double jumps and grapples with a web line, which makes it the most mobile ground ride in this part of the game. It also carries Handiwork 3 and Gathering 3 for a base, and every catch drops 2 to 5 Fiber and 2 to 5 Venom Glands at 100 percent each, which makes it one of the most reliable venom sources around.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Where does Tarantriss spawn in Palworld 1.0?

In forest grottos around [11, -187] at levels 20 to 23, in the open forest above them at 32 to 36, and in the Feybreak Cavern at 50 to 58. There is also one level 35 field boss.

Why do some cave runs never turn up a Tarantriss?

Because it only sits on the normal grotto table, not the monster-only one. On the table it does appear on it is 16.67 percent, and it spawns 2 or 3 at a time when it lands.

Which egg hatches a Tarantriss?

The plain Dark Egg from the Bamboo Groves. That pool has a single outcome, so the hatch is certain, and the Dark Egg is the cheapest dark tier there is.

Is Tarantriss a good mount?

It is the most mobile ground mount available around level 20. It can double jump while ridden and fire a web line to grapple and travel at speed, which covers terrain other ground mounts cannot.

Is Tarantriss a good source of Venom Glands?

One of the best early ones. Every catch drops 2 to 5 Venom Glands and 2 to 5 Fiber, both at 100 percent, and a grotto spawn gives 2 or 3 Tarantriss to work through.
