Complete Guide to Hunting in Palia
As you embark on your journey in Palia, you will be able to utilize eight core skills that are essential to your progress. These skills overlap and complement each other, providing you with the tools you need to succeed. If you’re an adventurous thrill-seeker interested in hunting, we offer a complete guide to hunting in Palia.
What to Hunt in Palia
As you venture through the various regions of Palia, you may come across a range of creatures that can be hunted in the wild. While some of these creatures may appear cute and harmless, it’s important to be aware of potential dangers, such as the Chapaa. Despite their small size, Chapaa can be quite troublesome in Palia, known to steal important items and cause chaos throughout the land. However, hunting these creatures can provide you with valuable fur and delectable meat to use in your cooking endeavors.
As you travel through Palia, you are likely to encounter the Sernuk, a large creature with valuable resources. Hunting the Sernuk can give you hide, horns, and meat. You can use the hide for various things, including crafting the glider. The horns are popular in Kilima furniture making.
Another creature that has been added is Muujin. These wolf-like squirrels jump and hide in trees when players alert them. It drops fur, Muujin Meat and Muujin Mane for gifting to the villagers.
Creature Hunting and Mechanics
In this section, I will show you the different species of Sernuk, Chapaa, and Muujin. Alongside their skills and how to defeat them easily.
Sernuk
Sernuk is a deer type that dashes when alerted by a Player. To counter this, follow it around since they do not disappear, unlike the other creatures that will be discussed later on. Aiming at the head will give you higher damage and enables you to kill it faster.
The first Sernuk species are found around Kilima. They look like A Deer and have sharp horns. The ones found in Kilima are common sernuks and have plain brown bodies. They drop hide, meat, and antlers and can be easily killed with a few shots from arrows.
The one in the picture is an uncommon type of Sernuk. Can be found on Kilima Vallet and Bahari Bay. These ones are tougher, have darker skin tone, and can be killed with four shots of a standard arrow or 3 shots of a fine arrow. They drop meat, hide and elder sernuk antlers.
These are the famous Proudhorned Sernuk. It is a type of magical beast that teleports or dashes to cover long ground in a short time. You will need a dispel arrow to slow it down and gain the upperhand while chasing it. When killed, there is a chance that it could drop Proudhorned Sernuk antlers that will be needed at late-game friendship quests.
Chapaa
Chapaas are four-legged animals that look like squirrels. When chapaa detects danger, they run around and dig underground, then finally disappear.
The first species is found in Kilima Valley, They are called spotted chapaas. They are easy to slay since they have only 10 HP, and one shot of any arrow would finish them off. They drop fur, meat, and spotted chapaa tail.
Striped Chapaas are darker in color and can be found rarely in Kilima Valley, They are much common in Bahari Bay. They are slightly tougher and can be felled by two shots from the arrow. They also drop fur, meat and striped chapaa tail.
The Azure Chapaa is the magical beast for the Chapaa Species. They are grey and have blue stripes across their body. Their magic is that when alerted, the Chapaa will clone into three Chapaa that would run away together. You could use a dispel arrow to prevent the cloning mechanism and hit it with a few arrows to finish it off.
Muujin
The muujin is the latest addition to the huntable creatures in Palia. It is a wolf type animal that climbs and hides onto trees when alerted by the player. Chop the tree, and the Muujin will pop up in front and you must take your chance to finally finish it off before springing to another tree.
The Black plain Muujin is the standard one, It can be slain by two hits of the arrow. It drops fur, meat, and Muujin mane.
The Muujin with Violet Mane is called a Banded Muujin and is a very uncommon species of Muujin. They will climb into larger trees or medium ones. They can be killed with three hits of the standard arrow and two hits of the fine arrow.
The Bluebristle Muujin is born through the effects of a flow-infused tree. It can be seen with white fur and blue stripes. They will become invisible while running to the tree, so it is very hard to deal with this type of magical beast. Dispel arrows will make them visible, but once they come down from the tree, the effects are negated. Lastly, they have a large amount of health, which is why you would need the help of another player or your friend to kill it.
How to Get Tools for Hunting
To hunt in the wilderness, it’s important to have the right tools and know which creatures to look out for. The Bow is a great tool to have on hand. Before setting out, it’s recommended to visit Hassian and his loyal dog, Tau. They will provide an introduction and help prepare you for the hunt.
Where to Find Hassian and Tau
In Palia, Hassian is the skilled Hunter and Tracker who is always accompanied by his faithful dog, Tau. They both warmly welcome newcomers to the world of hunting. Hassian can usually be found in the wild, pursuing his prey. To obtain valuable starting equipment, be sure to consult your map and locate his whereabouts.
How to Level Hunting in Palia
Once you have completed the Introduction quest, you are now able to put it to the test by hunting the Palian wildlife and collecting valuable resources. Every time you use a hunting skill you will earn points to level up that individual skill. Make sure you return to Hassian and Tau frequently to see if you can upgrade your Bow and arrow.
Hunting Rewards with Hassian
When you’re hunting in Palia, Hassian might ask you to complete quests to test your skills. If you do well, you’ll earn hunting coins as a reward. You can use these coins to buy better gear from Hassian’s store, like a hunting horn to help you find rare creatures.
Overlapping Skills
When choosing from the eight core skills available, there may be some that overlap. For example, if you want to enhance your bow, you may require higher-tier items, some of which may be obtained through the Foraging skill, while others may be obtained through the Mining Skill. Be sure to refer to our comprehensive guide to all the skills in Palia for more information.
Meats may be used to improve your cooking skills and cook delicious meals, whilst the fur can be refined using the loom.
Using the Loom
After collecting sufficient resources, return to your home and build a loom. The loom is essential for producing fabric and leather, both of which have significant applications in Palia, such as enhancing equipment or constructing the Glider. Each recipe has a designated crafting duration, which allows you to venture into the wilderness for further hunting.
Make sure to return to the loom to collect the items you have crafted to potentially upgrade current items.
