Finding unique creatures across the Palpagos Islands is a core part of progressing through Palworld. Killamari, a distinctive squid-like Pal numbered 023 in the Paldeck, serves as a versatile companion for both combat and exploration. Understanding where to locate and how to properly capture this Dark-type entity will give players a major advantage in their early-to-mid-game adventures.
Where to Locate Killamari in Palworld
Unlike many creatures that roam the open fields, Killamari prefers subterranean habitats. Players can reliably encounter them inside various cave networks and dungeons scattered throughout the map, such as the Hillside Cavern near early starting zones. Exploring these underground areas while equipped with torches or night-vision gear makes spotting them much easier.
These Pals often float aimlessly in small groups inside cavernous rooms. Because they are confined to dungeon spaces, checking room by room during a dungeon run is the most consistent method for finding them. Keep an eye out for their dark purple bodies and floating movement patterns.
Effective Tactics for Capturing Killamari
Killamari can be skittish when approached directly in open space. Approaching stealthily allows you to land a critical initial hit or throw a Pal Sphere before they attempt to flee. Lowering their health carefully with low-damage weapons prevents accidentally knocking them out.
Using standard or upgraded Pal Spheres improves your overall capture rate during combat encounters. Since Killamari is a Dark-type Pal, bringing Dragon-type allies into the fight will help lower its health quickly while keeping your team safe. Always monitor your target's health bar before throwing your final sphere.
Killamari Skills and Base Utility
Once captured, Killamari offers great functional benefits both in your party and at your home base. Its Partner Skill allows it to act as a living glider, granting players the ability to float gently across long distances. This makes traversing steep cliffs and descending deep canyons much safer.
At your base, Killamari supports daily operations with work suitabilities like Gathering and Transporting. Its ability to hover enables efficient movement when moving resources between crafting stations and storage containers. Defeating or capturing them also yields valuable drops such as Venom Glands and Pal Fluids.
Tips for Preparing Your Dungeon Raids
Before heading into dungeons to hunt for Killamari, ensure your inventory is well-prepared with supplies. Bringing sufficient food, health items, and extra Pal Spheres will extend your exploration time underground. Preparing ahead minimizes the risk of having to retreat empty-handed before finding your target.
Clearing out surrounding hostile aggressive Pals in the dungeon room first will prevent unnecessary distractions during the capture attempt. Maintaining control over the battle environment ensures a smooth capture process every time. With patience and proper preparation, adding Killamari to your roster is a straightforward task.
