Aegidron is the only Dragon/Ground Pal in Palworld, and it arrived as one of the new additions in the 1.0 update. It sits at Paldeck entry #184 and shows up as a high-level alpha boss rather than a wild spawn, so getting one means winning a fight first. Once it is on your team, its Partner Skill turns it into a defensive anchor for your whole party.
Quick answer: Aegidron is a level 79 field alpha boss in the World Tree, found in the southwest of the map, just north of the Lacrymal Shoal fast travel point. Bring Ice and Grass Pals, lower its health, then throw an ancient (Sol) sphere to capture it.
Aegidron location in Palworld
You will not stumble across Aegidron in the open world. It only appears at a fixed boss spot deep inside the World Tree, so you need to finish the main story to even reach the area. On the map it sits in the southwest, north of the Lacrymal Shoal fast travel point, near a body of water.
Aegidron is a level 79 to 80 encounter, so plan on being around level 80 yourself before you take it on. Capturing Pals in the World Tree also requires ancient spheres, which you unlock at technology tree level 74. Craft a stock of those before you go, because a weak sphere will not hold a boss this strong.
How to beat and catch Aegidron
The Dragon/Ground typing gives Aegidron two clear weaknesses. Ice attacks punish its Dragon side, and Grass (Leaf) attacks hit its Ground side hard. Either element gives you an advantage, so a team built around one or both will make the fight far shorter. Avoid Dark and Electric Pals, since Aegidron resists both.
Chip its health down as low as you safely can before throwing a sphere. A lower health bar raises your capture odds, then a Sol sphere finishes the job.
| Type | Recommended Pals |
|---|---|
| Ice | Penking, Chillet, Frostallion, Whalaska, Bastigor |
| Grass | Dandilord, Verdash, Petallia, Ophydia, Silvance |
Cryolinx Terra, Warsect Terra, and Gildane are also strong picks for this fight. To improve your own team beforehand, pass down high IVs and useful passives through breeding, then top a Pal off with the Pal Condenser to squeeze out extra stats.
Aegidron drops
Whether you defeat or capture it, Aegidron always hands over a Thermal Core and a Giant Pal Soul. The higher-level version of the boss adds a much richer haul of relics and gems, so it is worth farming once you can clear it reliably.
| Item | Amount | Drop rate |
|---|---|---|
| Thermal Core | 1-2 | 100% |
| Giant Pal Soul | 1 | 100% |
| Dragon Radiant Gem (Lv. 80) | 10-20 | 100% |
| Decayed Ancient Relic (Lv. 80) | 30-50 | 100% |
| Dormant Ancient Relic (Lv. 80) | 10-20 | 100% |
| Gorgeous Ancient Relic (Lv. 80) | 4-8 | 100% |
| Glowing Ancient Relic (Lv. 80) | 2-3 | 50% |
| Glistening Ancient Relic (Lv. 80) | 1 | 25% |
How to breed Aegidron
Once you own one, breeding becomes a faster way to build a second Aegidron with the IVs and passives you want. Several pairings produce it, and Bastigor turns up in the most reliable combos.
| Parent 1 | Parent 2 |
|---|---|
| Aegidron | Bastigor |
| Aegidron | Aegidron |
| Aegidron | Lyleen Noct |
| Neptilius | Bastigor |
| Blazamut Ryu | Bastigor |
| Neptilius | Jetragon |
| Panthalus | Jetragon |
Note: The Aegidron and Lyleen Noct pairing is community-reported and still being confirmed, so treat it as likely rather than guaranteed. Aegidron is also a strong parent for producing other Pals, including combos with Azurmane, Dupin, Grizzbolt, Xenolord, Hoodle, Faleris, and Wispaw.
Partner Skill and active skills
Aegidron’s Partner Skill, Indestructible Fortress, is the main reason to keep it in your party. While Aegidron is with you, the whole team takes 60 to 80 percent less damage from explosive attacks and becomes fully immune to Stun. The effect does not stack, so a second Aegidron adds nothing on that front. It also doubles as a rideable ground mount, and it carries boosted Defense plus knockdown immunity for itself.
Its active skills unlock as it levels, with the strongest moves arriving late. You will need a high-level Aegidron to access the top-tier attacks.
| Level | Skill |
|---|---|
| 1 | Stone Blast |
| 7 | Blast Cannon |
| 15 | Rockburst |
| 22 | Charge Cannon |
| 30 | Sand Twister |
| 40 | Rocky Impact |
| 50 | Dragon Meteor |
| 70 | Missile Burst |
Best Aegidron combat build
Aegidron earns its party slot even when it is not the one attacking, thanks to Indestructible Fortress. When you do put it on the front line, run its three heaviest hitters together. All three come from higher levels, so you will need Aegidron at level 70 to slot every one.
- Missile Burst
- Dragon Meteor
- Rocky Impact
For passives, Heavyweight is the standout choice, and you can round it out with combat-focused options like Invader, Earth Emperor, and Legend. If you rolled a Mutation while breeding, you may land one of the newer passives worth keeping too.
Best Aegidron base build
At your base, Aegidron shines as a miner. It has Mining level 8, which makes it a reliable pick for breaking down ore and stone nodes. The same active skills you use in combat work fine here, since a base Aegidron mostly needs its work suitability rather than damage.
For a mining setup, lean into passives that boost work output. Heavyweight, Mine Foreman, Serious, and Remarkable Craftmanship all push it toward faster, more efficient mining.
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Element | Dragon / Ground |
| Paldeck number | 184 |
| Work suitability | Mining Lv. 8 |
| Base HP / Atk / Def | 105 / 125 / 140 |
| Size / Rarity | XL / 8 |
| Food | 600 |
Between its team-wide protection, a rideable mount, and level 8 Mining, Aegidron is flexible enough to justify the effort of the World Tree fight. Catch one, breed a version with the passives you want, and it will pull its weight in both your party and your base.
