Dungeons are where you farm schematics, Ancient Civilization Parts, and the Lotus flowers that permanently boost your stats. There are 170 entrances on the map, so instead of drowning you in a list of coordinates, this guide shows you how dungeons work, the 8 types by level, which ones are worth farming, and how to find them fast with a map.
Quick Answer
Palworld 1.0 has 170 dungeon entrances across 13 regions. Each entrance is fixed and always leads to the same cave type and level band, but the inside layout, Pals, and boss change every run. A cleared dungeon reopens after about 299 minutes. Every dungeon has a guaranteed Alpha boss at the end that drops schematics and Ancient Civilization Parts, and dungeons are the only place to find Lotus flowers for permanent stat boosts.
How Dungeons Work
- Fixed entrance, random interior. The cave mouth is always in the same spot at the same level, but the layout and enemies are generated fresh each time you enter.
- Guaranteed Alpha at the end. Every run ends in a boss that drops schematics and Ancient Civilization Parts.
- They reopen. After you clear one, it closes and reopens after about 299 minutes. That clock runs on in-game time, not real time, so anything that makes days pass faster brings dungeons back sooner.
- Level bands matter. Match the dungeon to your level. Over-leveled dungeons waste time, under-leveled ones kill you.
All 8 Dungeon Types by Level
| Dungeon Type | Level Band |
| Ravine Grotto | 17 to 19 |
| Mountain Stream Grotto | 27 to 29 |
| Cavern of the Dunes | 33 |
| Volcanic Cavern | 36 to 38 |
| Cherry Blossom Cave | 40 |
| Astral Mountains Cavern | 42 to 45 |
| Feybreak Cavern | 56 to 58 |
| Sunreach Skies | 63 |
Where the Dungeons Are (By Region)
The 170 entrances cluster in a few regions. The densest are:
- Feybreak: 30 dungeons (the endgame region)
- Verdant Brook: 28 dungeons
- Windswept Hills: 19 dungeons (great for early runs)
For the exact pin of every entrance, use an interactive Palworld dungeon map and filter by region or level. That is far faster than a written list of 170 coordinates, since you can plan a route from wherever you are.
Best Dungeons to Farm
- Mid-game: Mountain Stream Grotto (27 to 29). The easiest sustained farm, with plenty of entrances. Great for schematics and parts once you are past the early game.
- Endgame: Feybreak Cavern (56 to 58). High-level runs with the best drops, and 30 entrances so you always have one open.
Tip: because dungeons reopen on a timer, hop between two or three nearby entrances of the same type. By the time you finish the third, the first has reopened, so you farm nonstop without waiting.
Tip: if you are farming dungeons hard, raise the Day/Night speed in your World Settings. Since the reopen timer runs on in-game time, faster days mean closed dungeons come back much quicker. Drop a custom map marker on each cleared entrance so you can find them again once they reopen.
Do Not Skip Lotus Flowers
Here is the reason endgame players farm dungeons even after they have the gear: Lotus flowers only spawn inside dungeons. They craft into Remedies and Elixirs at the Electric Medicine Workbench that permanently raise your base stats.
| Lotus | Boosts |
| Power Lotus | Attack |
| Life Lotus | Health |
| Stamina Lotus | Stamina |
| Speed Lotus | Work speed |
| Carrying Lotus | Carrying capacity |
Small Lotuses come from low-level dungeons and make Remedies (4 flowers). Large Lotuses come from high-level dungeons like Sakura Cave and make Elixirs (6 flowers), which give roughly double the boost. If you are min-maxing a character, dungeon farming is mandatory.
Tip: prioritize Power and Life Lotus Elixirs first. Permanent attack and health boosts pay off in every fight for the rest of your playthrough.
What to Do Next
- Turn dungeon drops into gear with the Ancient Civilization Core guide.
- Chase specific schematics like the Legendary Assault Rifle.
- Gear up for high-level caves with the Best Weapons tier list.
