Palworld: How to Melt Hard Mode Bjorn & Bastigor With Five Legendary Beam Launchers

Stack a Wixen fire buff and cycle five pre-loaded Legendary Beam Launchers to end the hard-mode tower fight in seconds.

Stack a Wixen fire buff and cycle five pre-loaded Legendary Beam Launchers to end the hard-mode tower fight in seconds.

The hard-mode version of Bjorn & Bastigor at Feybreak Tower is one of the toughest fights in Palworld, and most players grind through dozens of attempts trying to out-dodge its ice attacks. There is a faster way. By pairing a Fire-attribute buff from Wixen with five fully loaded Legendary Beam Launchers, you can burn through the boss’s health and shield before it gets a chance to punish you.

Quick answer: Summon a Level 80 Wixen to trigger its Lord Fox partner skill, which converts your attacks to Fire and raises your Attack, then fire five pre-loaded Legendary Beam Launchers back to back instead of reloading. The swap kills the Level 80 boss in roughly eight seconds.

Why cycling five Beam Launchers beats reloading

The Beam Launcher fires a high-density beam that explodes over a wide area, but it overheats during rapid fire and needs to cool down. Once a launcher reads “Weapon Overheated,” you lose precious time. Carrying five Legendary Beam Launchers in your weapon slots sidesteps that entirely. As soon as one overheats, you swap to the next and keep the damage flowing without a single reload gap.

The Legendary version does far more damage than the common one, which is what makes the burst strategy work against a boss with a five-figure health pool and a heavy shield.

What Bjorn & Bastigor look like on hard mode

The hard-mode boss appears at Feybreak Tower at Level 80. Bastigor is an Ice-type Pal, which is exactly why a Fire-attribute buff hits so hard. The stat block below shows what your burst needs to chew through before the “BOSS ELIMINATED!” prompt appears.

What you need before the fight

The core of this setup is one buff Pal and a full weapon wheel. The rest of your party fills out to Level 80 for survivability while your launchers do the work.

  • A Level 80 Wixen, which supplies the Lord Fox partner skill that converts your shots to Fire and boosts Attack.
  • Five Legendary Beam Launchers, each loaded, placed in your weapon slots so you can rotate through them.
  • A Level 80 party to back you up. A proven lineup runs Wixen, Needoll, Finsider Ignis, Xenogard, and Selyne.

Note: You must clear the boss once in normal mode before the hard-mode option unlocks, and you need the Bounty Tokens to enter Feybreak Tower in the first place.


Execute the burst

Stand outside Feybreak Tower with your Level 80 party set and all five Legendary Beam Launchers stocked in your inventory. Confirm each launcher is loaded so you never stop to reload mid-fight.

Enter the tower and select “Join Boss Battle (Hard)” to start the Level 80 encounter.
Summon Wixen right away. The Lord Fox skill activates and empowers your attacks with the Fire attribute while raising your Attack, which Bastigor’s Ice typing is weak to.
Open fire and cycle through all five Legendary Beam Launchers in sequence. The moment one overheats, swap to the next and keep the beams landing on the boss.

How to confirm the kill and what you get

You will see the on-screen note that Wixen “empowered the attack with Fire attribute, increasing its Attack!” once the buff is live. When the health and shield bars empty, the “BOSS ELIMINATED!” banner appears. With this rotation the whole thing wraps in about eight seconds.

Clearing hard mode drops the rewards shown below, including the unique headpiece that only the harder version hands out.

How to get and craft Legendary Beam Launchers

You need the Legendary Beam Launcher schematic before you can build any of the five. There are three ways to obtain it.

SourceChance
Beat Auri and Shaolong in Hard Mode (Azure Covenant Tower)10%
Legendary Treasure Map loot (Feybreak Sea Bases)0.149%
Recycle Ancient Relics in the Ancient Relic Recycler0.001%–0.029% by grade

Beating Bjorn & Bastigor at Feybreak Tower is what unlocks the altar to fast travel to Auri and Shaolong, so the normal-mode clear feeds directly into farming the schematic you want here. You also have to defeat Auri and Shaolong once in normal mode before their hard-mode fight opens up.

Once the schematic is in your inventory (not in storage, or the craft option will not appear), build each Legendary Beam Launcher at an Ancient Workbench with the materials below.

Assembling five copies is a real materials investment, but it is what turns this fight from a 30-attempt grind into a clean, repeatable burst that ends before Bastigor can freeze you.
