The Home Sweet Home update introduced one of the most powerful and sought-after raid encounters in Palworld: Pal Hartalis. Unlike standard Alpha Pals or world bosses, Hartalis is locked behind a raid-summoning system that requires preparation, rare materials, and serious combat readiness. Defeating it rewards players with a unique egg, allowing them to hatch and permanently recruit Hartalis.

This guide explains how to get the new raid boss Pal Hartalis in Palworld, covering slab fragment locations, crafting the summoning item, raid mechanics, boss phases, and how to hatch and ride Hartalis once the fight is complete.

What Is Hartalis in Palworld?

Hartalis is a high-tier Neutral Pal obtained exclusively through a raid encounter. It is not found naturally in the open world and cannot be captured with Pal Spheres. Instead, players must defeat Hartalis in a summoned raid battle, after which it drops an egg that can be incubated.

Why Hartalis is worth the effort:

• Extremely strong combat stats

• Excellent mount for traversal

• Powerful worker with high-end base utility

• One of the most flexible Neutral-type Pals in the game

Because of its strength and versatility, Hartalis is considered endgame content.

How to Get Hartalis Slab Fragments

To summon Hartalis, you must first craft a Hartalis Slab, which requires four Hartalis Slab Fragments. These fragments are rare and obtained through exploration and expeditions.

Dungeon and Cave Chests

Hartalis Slab Fragments can drop randomly from:

• Dungeon chests

• Cave chests

• Large enemy base chests

Purple-tier chests have the highest chance, but drops are not guaranteed.

Crystalized Tunnel Location (Best Farming Spot)

One of the most consistent locations to hunt fragments is the Crystalized Tunnel.

How to get there:

• Coordinates: -947, -1317

• Expect high-level Pals outside the entrance (they disengage once inside)

Inside the tunnel:

• There is no boss fight

• A friendly NPC is located at the end

• Two purple chests sit in the back corners

These chests can contain Hartalis Slab Fragments or other rare slab pieces, making this tunnel ideal for repeat farming.

Other Fragment Sources

Additional locations include:

• Feybreak dungeons

• Enemy bases on Sakurajima, especially those with large locked chests

These areas are more dangerous but often worth checking during regular exploration runs.

Expeditions (Guaranteed Progress)

If you’ve unlocked the Pal Expedition Station, certain high-tier expeditions offer guaranteed fragment rewards.

Expeditions that reward Hartalis Slab Fragments:

• Moonflower’s Secret Hideout

• Ancient Feybreak Remains

Each expedition grants one fragment, making this the most reliable method if you prefer steady progression over RNG.

How to Craft a Hartalis Slab

Once you’ve collected all four fragments, return to your base.

You can craft the Hartalis Slab at:

• A Basic Workbench, or

• A Production Assembly Line

Crafting takes time, so assign a Pal with high Handiwork to speed up the process.

Once completed, the slab is consumed when summoning the raid boss.

How to Summon the Hartalis Raid Boss

To fight Hartalis, you’ll need a Summoning Altar built at your base.

Summoning Steps

1. Interact with the Summoning Altar

2. Select Offer Slab

3. Choose the Hartalis Slab

4. Decide whether to summon at your base or a Raid Area

Important: Always summon Hartalis in a Raid Area, not at your base. Raid bosses can cause massive environmental damage.

After offering the slab, you’ll have a five-minute preparation window.

Preparing for the Hartalis Fight

During the prep phase:

• Assign combat Pals to your base via the Palbox

• Place temporary defenses if you brought materials

• Equip your strongest weapons and armor

If you die during the raid, you may respawn—but forfeiting the fight will permanently consume the slab.

Hartalis Boss Fight Explained

Hartalis is a Level 65 raid boss with approximately 909,000 HP, making it one of the toughest encounters in Palworld.

Phase One

• Element: Water / Grass

• Focus on elemental counters and ranged damage

• Avoid lingering AoE attacks

Phase Two

• Triggers when HP hits zero the first time

• Hartalis fully heals

• Element shifts to Neutral

You must defeat both phases to win the raid.

Tip: Bring diverse Pals to counter both elemental and Neutral damage types. Over-specializing will make phase two much harder.

Hatching the Hartalis Egg

After defeating Hartalis, it drops a Hartalis Egg.

To hatch it:

1. Place the egg in an Incubator

2. Wait for the incubation timer to finish

3. Hatch your new Hartalis

The hatched Pal is not a raid boss but retains strong stats and versatility.

How to Ride Hartalis

To use Hartalis as a mount, you must unlock and craft the Hartalis Saddle.

Saddle Requirements

Unlocked at Technology Level 65

Crafting materials:

• 40 High Quality Cloth

• 40 Coralum Ingots

• 100 Leather

• 200 Paldium Fragments

Once crafted, you can ride Hartalis for exploration and combat.

Speeding Things Up

The Hartalis raid is a major time and difficulty investment, especially if you’re farming fragments or struggling with the two-phase fight. Palworld Boosting at GladiatorBoost offers a practical option for players who want to unlock endgame Pals like Hartalis without excessive grinding.

Boosting services can assist with:

• Farming Hartalis Slab Fragments

• Completing high-level expeditions

• Defeating raid bosses efficiently

This allows you to enjoy Palworld’s strongest Pals while focusing on base-building, breeding, or exploration.

Final Tips Before Attempting Hartalis

• Don’t attempt the raid below endgame gear levels

• Always summon in a Raid Area

• Bring backup Pals in case of knockouts

• Prepare for a long fight—this isn’t a quick kill

Final Thoughts

Hartalis is one of Palworld’s most impressive additions, combining raid mechanics, multi-phase combat, and a powerful reward into a single encounter. While summoning and defeating it requires planning and patience, the payoff is more than worth it for players looking to strengthen their roster with a top-tier Neutral Pal.

With the right preparation—or the right help—you’ll have Hartalis fighting by your side in no time.
