Palworld can sometimes be quite brutal, especially if you’re considering butchering your Pals. While Pocketpair was nice enough to blur out the gory details, it doesn’t make the process any easier.
In Palworld, you can grow attached to your Pals, especially the ones you captured during the game’s early stages. But Pals have more uses than just fighting, and that includes working at your base, selling them to make extra Gold, or Butchering them to get extra materials.
How to Butcher Pals with the Meat Cleaver in Palworld
To Butcher Pals in Palworld, you need to use a Meat Cleaver. You unlock the Meat Cleaver from the Technology Tree at level 12.
The Meat Cleaver recipe is five Ingots, 20 Wood, and five Stone. Make one and follow the steps below to Butcher a Pal.
- Equip the Meat Cleaver.
- Summon a the Pal you want to butcher.
- Bring up the command wheel by holding down 4 on PC or the right thumbstick on an Xbox controller.
- Choose the Butcher option.
Upon selecting Butcher, you’ll start chopping up your Pal, but it’ll be blurry. The sound effects still paint a menacing picture, so I’ve been opting to sell Pals instead.
Low on Pal Fluids? Well, take all those Pengullets you captured and butcher them to double your Pal Fluid intake. Butchering Pals will give you double the materials.
What happens when you Butcher a Pal in Palworld?
When you Butcher a Pal, you’ll receive its loot, and the drops will be different depending on the Pal. Foxparks, for example, can drop Leather and Flame Organs. Butchering Pals is considered an illegal action in Palworld, and if there are any NPC witnesses around, you might get a bounty on your head.
Palworld’s criminal activity underway warning is one of my least-favorite things in Palworld, so I try to play by the rules as often as I can. If you like the criminal life in Palworld, though, Butchering can help you on your way to becoming wanted.
