Terraria Meets Palworld: A Dungeon So Confusing It Might Be Brilliant

Alright, Palworlders, let’s not mince words here. The Tides of Terraria update is no walk in the park. It’s the kind of update that says, “Oh, you thought you were a pro? Cute.” Between the new Terraria-inspired dungeon and that smug Alpha Pal boss, the Eye of Cthulhu, you’re probably setting yourself up for either ultimate glory… or hours of yelling at your screen. Either way, we’re here to help.

Grab your pickaxe, summon your bravest Pals, and prepare for a guide packed with more sass, sarcasm, and survival tips than you probably deserve.

Where the Heck is the Terraria Dungeon in Palworld?

Okay, step one is finding the dang thing. The Terraria Dungeon, also known as the Sealed Realm of Terraria, is southeast of Fisherman’s Point. (Noob tip: if you’re lost, just keep heading southeast like you’re trying to escape your problems.)

When you spot a giant statue dressed in the Hallowed armor set from Terraria, congrats, you’ve arrived. It’s like the dungeon is silently judging you already. The portal is right in front of it, so take a deep breath and step into the madness.

Prepare to Get Lost in the (Mapless) Labyrinth

Oh, did you think the dungeon would be straightforward? LOL, no. Welcome to the mapless chaos of the Terraria Dungeon, where the only thing more confusing than the layout is why you decided to come here in the first place. Bring a pickaxe, because breakable walls and hidden paths are your new best frenemies.

Walkthrough Highlights (a.k.a. How Not to Rage Quit):

  1. The Slime Parade 

  You’ll be greeted by Terraria-styled slimes. Cute, right? Until they gang up on you like it’s an ambush in a bad action movie. Fight through and take the left path when you reach the first split.

  1. The Wooden House, Because Why Not 

  Somewhere ahead is a quaint little wooden house. Go through it to enter a sub-biome that gives strong underground Terraria vibes. Cool music plays here, but don’t get too distracted—danger is just around the corner.

  1. The Hallow-esque Sub-Biome 

  Take a left again, follow the watery trail, and you’ll eventually reach a vibrant sub-biome that looks like the Hallow from Terraria. Don’t admire the scenery for too long; you’ve got more paths to choose (and more ways to get lost).

  1. Bust Down That Wall, Champ! 

  Hit a dead end with a suspiciously weak wall? It’s breakable. Equip your pickaxe, channel your inner miner, and smash your way through like a boss. Once through, you’ll hit a coliseum-like area. And guess what? That means you’re nearly at the boss fight. (Finally.)

How to NOT Die Fighting the Eye of Cthulhu

Ah, yes. The Eye of Cthulhu. A Level 45 Dark-type Alpha Pal that’s here to remind you who’s boss. Its main strategy? A blisteringly fast lunge attack you probably won’t dodge the first five times. Bet it’s already mocking you in Pal-speak.

Boss Battle Tips for Survival:

  • Save Your Stamina, You Maniac: Dodging the Eye’s lunges is crucial. If you blow all your stamina early on, you’re toast. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. 
  • Call in Your Dragon Squad: Seriously, don’t skimp on Dragon Pals. Jetragon, Astegon, and other dragon heavyweights are your best shot at bringing this thing down before it flattens you. 
  • Throw Your Best Pal Sphere: When its health is critical, throw your highest-tier Pal Sphere. Don’t wait too long because, spoiler alert, this Eye doesn’t mess around. 

Pro tip? Once captured, the Eye of Cthulhu’s “Mad Eye Lunge” makes it a lackluster ally in combat. (Sorry, Eye. You’re not that guy.) But its Level 4 Transporting Suitability isn’t half bad for base work. Consider it a glorified errand runner.

What’s in It for You? (Besides Eternal Bragging Rights)

Defeating the dungeon and the Eye of Cthulhu nets you loot and a solid sense of accomplishment. Plus, the Pals you capture inside the dungeon are exclusive and rare, even if their info won’t show up in the Paldex. Make sure to collect Herbil, Palumba, and Finsider while you’re there. Trust me, nothing says “I survived the madness” quite like showing off your fancy new Terraria-themed pals.

Final Thoughts

There you have it, folks. The Tides of Terraria update doesn’t pull its punches, but you’re tougher than you look, right? (Just nod and agree, we believe in you.) Between navigating a dungeon that hates maps, battling slimes that travel in packs, and taming a boss that’s mostly eyeball, you’ve got your work cut out for you. But hey, bragging that you defeated the Eye of Cthulhu in Palworld? Worth it.

Now go out there, get lost (literally), and make us proud. Oh, and don’t forget to stock up on pickaxes before you go. You’ll thank us later.
