Palworld: How to Get Immortality, the Best Lifesteal Passive (Alpha Necromus)

The Immortality passive adds Life Steal, a huge health regen boost, and extra attack, but it only comes from breeding and boss Pals.

The Immortality passive adds Life Steal, a huge health regen boost, and extra attack, but it only comes from breeding and boss Pals.

Immortality is a top-tier passive skill introduced in Palworld’s 1.0 update, and it stacks three combat-friendly effects onto a single Pal. It cannot be found by luck on wild Pals, which is why players build breeding chains around it. If you want a Pal that heals itself in the middle of a fight while hitting harder, this is the trait to chase.

Quick answer: Immortality never rolls on a random wild Pal. Get it by catching a special or boss Pal that already carries it, then breed that Pal to pass Immortality down to your target species.

What Immortality does

Immortality is a Rank 4 buff passive. Every effect applies to the Pal that carries it, so slot it onto a combat Pal you plan to send into battle. The Life Steal component returns a small share of the damage dealt back as health, while the regeneration boost keeps the Pal topping itself off between hits.

Auto Health Regeneration Rate+100%
Attack+15%

Inheritable by breedingYes

Note: Immortality shares the same +5% Life Steal value as the Vampiric passive, but Immortality bundles in the +100% regeneration and +15% attack on top, which makes it the stronger all-round pick for a self-sustaining attacker.

Where Immortality comes from

The key limitation is simple. Immortality is not part of the random passive pool that wild Pals can spawn with, so grinding captures of ordinary Pals will never produce it. The trait only enters your collection through specific breeding lines and through special or boss Pals that carry it. Once one of your Pals has it, the passive becomes fully inheritable.

Each Pal can hold up to four passive skills, and those slots only become visible once the Pal is caught. That means your first task is to secure any Pal that already has Immortality, then use it as a source to breed the trait onto whatever species you actually want to field.


How to breed Immortality onto a target Pal

Get a Pal that already carries Immortality. Catch the special or boss Pal that has it, or use one you have already bred with the trait. This Pal becomes the seed for your entire chain.
Pair the Immortality carrier at a Breeding Farm with a partner that moves you toward your goal species. A child can inherit passive skills from either parent, so keep the Immortality carrier in the pairing every generation.
Check each egg’s offspring for Immortality once it hatches. Inheritance is random, so you will usually need several attempts before the trait carries over cleanly.
Keep breeding the offspring toward your target species while holding onto Immortality. Repeat until you land a Pal of the species you want that still has the passive in one of its four slots.

Tip: Chaining passives across multiple generations is time-consuming, and the odds of inheritance are community estimates rather than fixed official figures. Expect to burn through several breeding cycles, especially if you want Immortality alongside three other specific passives.

How to confirm your Pal has Immortality

Open the Pal’s status screen and look at its list of passive skills. Immortality will appear there as a Rank 4 trait showing Life Steal +5%, Auto Health Regeneration Rate +100%, and Attack +15%. If it is not listed, that Pal did not inherit it, and you will need to breed again from the carrier. There is no way to force the roll, so verification always comes down to reading the passive slots on the hatched Pal.

Once it lands on a strong combat Pal, Immortality effectively turns that Pal into a self-healing frontliner, since it keeps recovering health through both the regeneration bonus and the Life Steal on every hit while still dealing extra damage.
