How to Beat Auri and Shaolong
Reach Level 70
This fight is balanced around players and Pals at Level 70.
Most enemies throughout Sunreach are already above Level 60, and Auri and Shaolong deal enough damage to eliminate underleveled players within seconds. Make sure both your character and your primary combat Pals are fully leveled before entering the tower.
Craft Endgame Weapons and Armor
Using early or mid-game equipment will make this battle significantly harder.
Equip some of the strongest weapons available, including:
- Heavy Assault Rifle
- Prototype Shotgun
- Combat SMG
- Mechanical Bow
For defense, craft the Ancient Armor, Ancient Helm, and an Advanced Shield. These provide the survivability needed to withstand Shaolong’s powerful attacks.
Upgrade Your Pals at the Statue of Power
Before challenging the tower, visit a Statue of Power and spend Pal Souls to improve your strongest Pals.
Prioritize upgrading:
- HP
- Attack
- Defense
Since these upgrades scale with your Pal’s level, investing in Level 70 combat Pals provides a substantial boost during the fight.
Use Electric and Ice-Type Pals
Shaolong is both a Dragon and Water Pal, making it vulnerable to Electric and Ice attacks.
Building your party around these elements dramatically increases your damage output while shortening the battle.
If possible, bring multiple Electric and Ice attackers so you always have a strong replacement available if one faints.
Catch Legendary Pals
Legendary Pals make this encounter considerably easier.
Besides having exceptional base stats, many Legendary Pals possess the Legend passive, which increases both Attack and Defense by 20%. Whether you use the Legendary Pal directly or inherit the passive through breeding, the additional stats provide a noticeable advantage during this difficult boss fight.
Stay at Long Range
Shaolong frequently pauses before charging toward the player.
Instead of fighting at close range, maintain as much distance as possible while continuously attacking with firearms. Long-range combat gives you more time to react to incoming attacks and makes dodging much easier.
Allow your active Pal to hold Shaolong’s attention while you focus on dealing consistent ranged damage.
Survive the Flood Phase
One of Shaolong’s signature abilities floods the arena, leaving only limited safe areas.
The easiest way to avoid this mechanic is by using a flying Pal. Taking to the air lets you ignore much of the flooding while continuing to attack from above, greatly reducing the danger posed by this phase.
Focus on Auri While Your Pal Distracts Shaolong
Rather than constantly chasing Shaolong, let your combat Pal engage the boss while you target Auri whenever an opening appears.
Splitting the boss’s attention makes it much easier to avoid incoming attacks and maintain steady damage throughout the encounter.
Best Pals for Auri and Shaolong
Frostallion
Frostallion is arguably the best Pal for this battle. Its powerful Ice attacks exploit Shaolong’s Dragon weakness, and its flying mount ability allows you to stay above the flood during the second phase. High damage, excellent mobility, and strong survivability make Frostallion an outstanding choice.
Orserk
Orserk deals tremendous Electric damage and naturally counters Water-type enemies. Its high offensive stats allow it to quickly reduce Shaolong’s health, making it one of the strongest Electric options available for this encounter.
Best Weapons
Heavy Assault Rifle
The Heavy Assault Rifle offers outstanding sustained damage while allowing you to attack safely from long range. It is the strongest all-around weapon for this fight.
Prototype Shotgun
The Prototype Shotgun deals devastating damage whenever Shaolong closes the distance. It’s an excellent secondary weapon for close-range opportunities.
Combat SMG
The Combat SMG provides rapid-fire damage that is particularly useful during movement-heavy portions of the battle when maintaining constant pressure is important.
Mechanical Bow
Players who prefer conserving ammunition can use the Mechanical Bow for reliable ranged damage throughout the encounter.
Best Armor
Ancient Armor
Ancient Armor provides some of the highest defensive stats available in Version 1.0 and greatly improves your survivability during extended boss fights.
Ancient Helm
The Ancient Helm complements the armor by increasing overall defense, helping you survive Shaolong’s strongest attacks.
Advanced Shield
The Advanced Shield absorbs significant damage before your health is affected, giving you additional room for mistakes during the fight.
Rewards for Defeating Auri and Shaolong
Completing the battle rewards you with:
- Character EXP
- Pal EXP

The amount of experience earned depends on your world’s EXP settings.
In addition to these rewards, defeating Auri and Shaolong unlocks a new tower difficulty, allowing you to challenge even stronger versions of the game’s Tower Bosses.
Auri and Shaolong are among the most challenging Tower Bosses in Palworld Version 1.0, demanding fully upgraded gear, powerful Level 70 Pals, and careful execution. Bringing Electric and Ice-type Pals like Orserk and Frostallion, upgrading their stats at the Statue of Power, and using endgame weapons such as the Heavy Assault Rifle will greatly improve your chances of victory. By staying at range, surviving the flood phase with a flying Pal, and taking advantage of Shaolong’s elemental weaknesses, you can consistently defeat this formidable boss and unlock even greater endgame challenges.
