Gaming: Latest How To Get Every Pal In Terraria's Palword Crossover 2026

After a 2025 crossover in Palworld, pals have finally come to Terraria with the 1.4.5 update, Bigger and Boulder. Some of them are an absolute pain to get—looking at you, Foxparks—and I never found the critters in my older worlds. While I did manage to get all of the Terraria pals eventually, it only worked after I generated new worlds.

While I've found all the pals, I'm still testing which strategies you can use to find them most reliably. If you find one under different conditions that I can reproduce, I'll add it here!

Since writing this just days after the update's launch, I've spent my nights testing theories and praying over Water Candle buffs. Cattiva is the "easy" part, while Foxparks had me rethinking why I signed up for this journey. The others were less hassle, but after browsing Reddit, Discord, and Terraria's forums for clues, it seems I'm not the only person feeling ill over pal spawn rates.

I can tell you how to get the Terraria pals using the same setup that led me to success, but keep in mind the spawns aren't guaranteed immediately. You'll have to create those same conditions, then hope for a little RNG mercy.

I got all of the Terraria pals in two fresh 1.4.5 worlds, though they don't seem to spawn in all of the same conditions. You'll find Cattiva and Foxparks on the surface level while Chillet and Digtoise require tunneling underground, sometimes as deep as the cavern layer.

Cattiva and Foxparks always spawn with goblins holding them hostage, and they'll die if you don't act fast. I often heard them cry before seeing them, and I always detected a Goblin Scout on my Lifeform Analyzer before getting close enough for it to lock in on either pal.

Spelunking for Chillet wasn't so bad, though I've only found Digtoise once in the second world I made. You'll find both of them faster by equipping the Metal Detector, and a Spelunking Potion helps with the Digtoise search.

As for old worlds, I never saw the pals in a pre-1.4.5 save, but admittedly didn't test for long before generating a new world. I didn't have any luck finding Cattiva or Foxparks pre-Goblin Army, either. So, after camping around for a few hours, I triggered the event and saw my first Cattiva shortly after the invasion.
