There's no shortage of endgame activities in Palworld. Whether you're trying your hand at Ultra Raids, adventuring through the World Tree, or making your Pals as strong as possible, there's plenty to dig into. One particularly beefy Palworld endgame challenge is Hard Mode Towers. These take the tower bosses you've already bested, and remix them into even tougher challenges. Look below to see how to unlock them, the loot you can grab, and more.

How to Unlock Hard Mode Towers in Palworld

Unlocking the Palworld Hard Mode Towers is fairly simple. All you need to do is successfully defeat the first eight tower bosses in the game. With all eight defeated, you can simply head back to any of the towers and challenge the hard mode version of the bosses. When interacting with their towers, you should see a prompt to fight in hard mode. You do not need to defeat Zenara and her Pal Astralym to unlock the hard mode fights for the other bosses. However, you can unlock a hard mode for this final battle as well. Simply beat Zenara & Astralym, and you can repeat the fight on hard mode. Within each hard mode, you can expect to see new attacks from each boss. They'll also have new, much higher levels than before. Additionally, bosses will have new allies to fight alongside them. They might be Pals or humans, but they'll all be level 70. The combination of all these new elements means you'll have to be mobile and powerful to survive. Upgrade your Pals and gear to be appropriately leveled for each boss. Of course, you'll have a significant advantage if you bring Pals that have elemental advantages over the boss you're facing. Luckily, none of their elements change! Finally, remember that you will only have five minutes to defeat each boss. Since hard mode fights also give the bosses much higher health pools, your main focus should be lasering down each enemy with as much damage as you can muster. If you have friends on a Palworld server with you, this can make the fights significantly easier.
