Search “Terraria Palworld crossover” and most guides only tell you half the story. This collaboration runs in both directions: Palworld got a massive Terraria-themed expansion, and Terraria got a smaller Palworld-themed content drop of its own. If you only play one of the two games, you’re missing content that’s sitting in your game client right now.
Wait, Which Way Does This Crossover Even Go?
Both ways, on different scales. In June 2025, Palworld developer Pocketpair shipped update v0.6.0, unofficially called “Tides of Terraria” — a full expansion built around Re-Logic’s IP: new islands, a dedicated dungeon, 15 new Pals modeled on Terraria mobs, 26 weapons, 15+ armor pieces, and boss fights against the Eye of Cthulhu and the Moon Lord[1].
Terraria’s side of the deal is far smaller and shipped earlier, in patch 1.4.5.0 across Desktop, Console, and Mobile: five Palworld creatures you can tame as pets, a cosmetic Pal Metal armor set, and a Huge Dragon Egg that hatches into one of them[2]. A follow-up, 1.4.5.7, added two more items — but Desktop-only[3].
That asymmetry matters for how you plan your time: Palworld’s half of the crossover is a genuine content expansion worth a full session or three, while Terraria’s half is closer to a fun cosmetic bonus you can knock out in one sitting.

If you just want the fastest route into each side, run this checklist before reading the full breakdown below.
- Palworld players: Update to v0.6.0 or later, then travel to Eternal Summer Isle, south of Fisherman’s Point.
- Look for a statue wearing Hallowed Armor — the Sealed Realm of Terraria dungeon entrance is directly in front of it[4].
- Come at level 50+ with a Pickaxe; dungeon Pals run around level 35, the boss around level 45[4].
- Terraria players: Update to at least 1.4.5.0 (all platforms) or 1.4.5.7 (Desktop, for the extra items).
- Grab a Spelunker Potion and a Metal Detector, then dig through the Caverns layer for a Huge Dragon Egg.
- Check the outer fourths of your world’s Grass biomes (not Graveyards) for wild Cattiva and Foxparks.
- Search the Underground Desert for Digtoise, including replacement spawns from broken Antlion Larva eggs[5].
- Keep a Pal in your inventory before talking to the Traveling Merchant — he only sells the Pal Metal set once you’re carrying one[5].
Terraria → Palworld: Every Terraria Item You Can Unlock in Palworld
This is the bigger half of the crossover by a wide margin, and it’s built around one destination: the Sealed Realm of Terraria, a purpose-built dungeon on Eternal Summer Isle. Inside, you’ll fight reskinned Slimes, bats, and Demon Eyes, then face an Eye of Cthulhu encounter before working toward the endgame Moon Lord raid[6].
You don’t unlock the dungeon through a quest or tech-tree gate — it’s open the moment you sail there. The gate is your own preparation: dungeon Pals sit around level 35 and the boss around level 45, so Pocketpair is effectively asking for a level 50+ party before you commit[4]. Bring a Pickaxe regardless of level — several sections are sealed behind breakable walls, and the dungeon has no map, so getting lost is part of the challenge[4].
| Category | Notable items | How to unlock |
|---|---|---|
| Weapons (26 total) | Terra Blade, Meowmere, Excalibur, Terraprisma, Nightglow, Vortex Beater | Craft at the Advanced Weapon Assembly Line using Terraria-themed materials collected in the dungeon; legendary variants need higher-tier materials[6] |
| Armor (15+ pieces) | Hallowed Plate Mail/Headgear/Mask/Helmet/Hood, Eye of Cthulhu Mask, Moon Lord Mask | Craft at the Advanced Workshop; boss masks require defeating the matching boss first[4] |
| Pals (15 new) | Enchanted Sword, Illuminant Slime/Bat, Rainbow Slime, Demon Eye, plus base-game-styled originals | Explore the new islands or capture them inside the Sealed Realm dungeon[4] |
| Structures & tech | Advanced Workshop, Advanced Weapon Assembly Line, Pal Surgery Table, Moon Lord Statue | Unlock through the technology tree as you progress the update’s content[4] |
The design logic here rewards patience over rushing the boss fight. Every major weapon and armor tier gates behind materials you only get from clearing dungeon rooms, so the Sealed Realm isn’t a one-and-done boss rush — it’s a farming loop you’ll repeat several times before the Moon Lord raid is a fair fight.
Expect three farming targets to dominate your early runs: Coralum Ore (smelted into Coralum Ingots), Hallowed Bars, and Ripe Starfruit, all tied to the dungeon and its new fishing spots rather than the open world[6]. That last one matters if you skip the update’s fishing system — several recipes route through Fishing Ponds and the new bait tiers (Simple, High Quality, Deluxe, Alluring), so a player who ignores fishing entirely will hit a materials wall well before reaching legendary weapon tiers. One honest gap in the public record: neither the developer’s patch notes nor the community guides we checked publish exact material counts per weapon recipe, only which station and which material pool each item draws from. Treat the category-level breakdown above as confirmed and precise per-recipe material counts as something you’ll only get by checking the crafting menu in-game.
Palworld → Terraria: Every Palworld Item You Can Unlock in Terraria
Terraria’s side trades scale for simplicity. There’s no dungeon, no boss fight, no tech tree — just five creatures, one armor set, and two consumables, all obtainable through normal exploration.
| Item | Version | How to unlock |
|---|---|---|
| Cattiva, Foxparks | 1.4.5.0 (all platforms) | Spawn on Grass blocks at the outer fourths of the map (not Graveyard biomes); a Battle Potion or Water Candle speeds up encounters[5] |
| Chillet, Chillet Ignis | 1.4.5.0 (all platforms) | Hatch from a Huge Dragon Egg found underground with a Spelunker Potion and Metal Detector — roughly a coin-flip which variant you get[5] |
| Digtoise | 1.4.5.0 (all platforms) | Underground Desert biome; also spawns as an occasional Antlion Larva egg replacement[5] |
| Pal Metal Chestplate/Leggings | 1.4.5.0 (all platforms) | Cosmetic set sold by the Traveling Merchant — only when you’re carrying a Pal in your inventory[5] |
| Kinship Peach, Little Kinship Peach | 1.4.5.7 (Desktop only) | Craft at a Crystal Ball with 1 Life Fruit, 12 Soul of Light, 12 Soul of Night; hand to Cattiva or Foxparks to upgrade them to “Trusty” versions[3] |
Console and Mobile players should treat the Kinship Peach row as informational only — it’s a Desktop-exclusive follow-up patch, and the Official Terraria Wiki gives no timeline for a wider release[3]. If you’re farming Huge Dragon Eggs and get a color you don’t want, that’s expected: the wiki confirms the Chillet/Chillet Ignis split is random per egg, not something you can influence by hunting a specific location.
Which Direction Should You Play First?
Both halves are free updates to games you may already own, so the real question isn’t cost — it’s where your remaining playtime is better spent.
| Player type | Priority | Why |
|---|---|---|
| New to both games | Terraria side first | No dungeon, no boss gate, no risk of walking into a level-45 fight underprepared — you can collect all five items in an afternoon |
| Casual, limited time | Terraria side, skip Palworld’s dungeon | Palworld’s Sealed Realm demands a level-50+ party and a Pickaxe just to start; the Terraria items need no combat prep at all |
| Hardcore / optimiser | Palworld side first | 26 weapons and 15+ armor pieces, several with legendary variants, is where the actual min-max depth lives — the Terraria side is a cosmetic afternoon by comparison |
| Completionist | Both, Palworld last | Terraria’s five items are quick and finite; Palworld’s dungeon loop, boss masks, and legendary weapon tiers take multiple sessions to fully clear |
If you’re deep into Terraria’s own progression already, the Sealed Realm fight is a reasonable stress test for a Hardmode-ready loadout — the level 35-45 range Pocketpair built around lines up closer to a mid-to-late Hardmode gear check than an early-game detour. Our Terraria progression guide covers what a build should look like before you go chasing crossover bosses in either game, and our Moon Lord guide and Eye of Cthulhu guide cover the source fights this crossover is riffing on.
FAQ
Do I need to own both Terraria and Palworld to get any of this content?
No — each side is self-contained. Palworld’s Tides of Terraria items exist only in Palworld and use Palworld’s own crafting stations; Terraria’s Palworld pets exist only in Terraria’s world files. Owning both just means you get both halves instead of one.
Is the Palworld side actually harder than it sounds?
For an undergeared team, yes. A level 45 dungeon boss is a real check, not a formality — Pocketpair’s own recommended level (50+) sits five levels above the boss itself, which is a wider safety margin than most Palworld raid content gives you. Don’t treat the Sealed Realm as a casual detour on your way to something else.
Why does Terraria’s side feel so much smaller?
Because it’s cosmetic-first by design. Terraria’s Palworld items are pets, a vanity armor set, and two crafted trinkets — none affect combat stats the way Palworld’s Terra Blade or Hallowed armor do. That’s a deliberate scope difference between the two updates, not a sign more content is coming.
Will the Kinship Peach ever come to Console or Mobile Terraria?
Unconfirmed. It shipped in 1.4.5.7 as a Desktop-only follow-up, and no announcement ties it to a Console or Mobile patch. Treat it as Desktop-exclusive until Re-Logic says otherwise.
Are the legendary weapon variants worth farming, or is the base version enough?
For most players, the base version. Legendary variants sit at the top of a materials curve you only reach after multiple Sealed Realm clears, and the update’s own structure — dungeon farming loop first, legendary crafting second — signals they’re meant for players who’ve already cleared the Moon Lord raid at least once and want a reason to keep running the dungeon. If you’re grabbing the Terra Blade or Meowmere purely to round out a Palworld loadout, the base craft does that job; save the legendary grind for after you’ve beaten the content it’s meant to help with.
