Palworld’s map is filled with plenty of areas to explore and secrets to discover while you hunt for new Pals and materials. Dungeons, or caves, are just one element of the world that you will want to look into but locating and exploring them can be a pain if you don’t know exactly where to look.

Palworld does a good job of prompting you to explore every corner of its map without being too restrictive. Dungeons act as their own instance, making you load into an ever-changing set of caves that are tricky to navigate and filled with enemies, hidden Pals, and bosses. Exploring and clearing a dungeon can net you rare resources like Ancient Civilization Parts as you loot and battle. 

Each Dungeon you enter will change when you enter it and has a different difficulty level, and there are dozens spread around the map. Here is a full list of every Dungeon location we have discovered in Palworld, with more being added if new caves are discovered. 

All Cave and Dungeon locations in Palworld

For every Dungeon listed ranging across all of Palworld’s regions, we have marked its approximate, or very close to it, location on the map and listed coordinates for each. You can easily find and mark these exact locations on your map since coordinates are displayed on the bottom right when you open it in-game.

  • -108, -578
  • -128, -565
  • -239, 551
  • -204, -611

We have located six different Dungeons in the area surrounding Mount Obsidian, though this is one of the harder places to search around due to the higher-level enemies and rough terrain. If you plan on exploring here, make sure to bring some gear that’s resistant to high temperatures. You can find the dungeons at the following coordinates:

  • -422, -602
  • -507, -533
  • -457, -417
  • -610, -251
  • -799, -585
  • -800, -360

All ice Cave and Dungeon locations in the Land of Absolute Zero

Nine Dungeons are spread throughout this icy biome near the top of the Palworld map. This is also arguably the most difficult area to explore because the level recommendations reach the mid-40s. You can find the dungeons at the following coordinates:

  • -20, 190
  • -96, 215
  • -121, 315
  • 100, 362
  • -151, 566
  • -204, 564
  • -323, 582
  • -304, 491
  • -365, -376

If you visit any of these locations and don’t find a dungeon to explore, return another time. Dungeons appear in set locations but rotate periodically, so check back regularly. I recommend using the fastest Palworld mounts, like Direhowl, to travel around if you’re planning to hit several dungeons in a row, as this can significantly reduce the time spent traveling between them. Just make sure you bring plenty of food to keep your Pals from starving.
