The ULTIMATE Movement & Mount Guide | Palworld Max Efficiency

Today I share my findings on optimal movement and mounts for the most efficient way to navigate the Palworld, what to actively seek out and avoid. The results were fascinating and a ton of fun to test!
I've intentionally omitted some more generic movement/mount suggestions as you've probably heard them all or figured them out by now.

Let me know if you have any other solid movement/mount tips and I'll consider compiling the best ones for a general tips video in the future. Chapters added, time to go into an egg incubator to mentally prepare for making the breeding video.

[@Brayokeeeeeeeee]

You can use glider while going off a ledge for easy momentum conservation, but ypu don't gp nearly as fast as when you use a grappling gun

[@michaellussier7772]

instead of having multiple grapple guns you can just unequip and equip it again to reset timer

[@captanblue]

I like dropping junk,, then letting that floating rabbit thing pick stuff up for me when I make it to my chest. Also, moving the grappling hook to another slot removes the cooldown

How do I move once I select the item? If I leave the menu the items are back to their containers

[@manymustfall]

[@TheJokerha]

Do you know if it works on controller?

[@Logan-tw7wv]

A point about multi-grappling - Unequipping the grapple resets its cooldown, so you can easily enough swap off/swap on to instantly reset it. Easiest on console, where you can open your menu, have a pre-positioned equipment in the default slot (top left) press Y / switch weapon, press Y / switch again, exit menu, done. *Only works if your grapple is in your top item slot, as that's what's "quick swapped" when switching from the menu.

[@kevinklem4457]

heard about 3 things i learned from playing myself and have yet to hear in any other video all in this one vid. insane job well done

[@imp_mane]

good video, I recommend combining gliding with mount flying, you can alternate between both to avoid stamina recharge

[@nooblyss]

For flying mounts, instead of pressing both forward and space to go diagonally to gain altitude up an incline, you can just use forward and let the cliffside push you up conserve stamina. I did this when I went to the shadow beak tower boss at level 13 with a nitewing, and used this trick a lot to help me navigate up the steep and long inclines to the tower. I did this to catch the boss obviously. Have all of them in a lovely little display case.

[@Footballar09]

Awesome video as always! One thing that I have not seen mentioned anywhere is that if you have direwolf as a mount, you can use the charge attack to get around even if you are completely over encumbered. It’s usually a lot faster than the grapple as you can continue with the spam it. This has helped me a lot with my inefficient base set ups, but your videos will help that as well!

[@honestinsincerity2270]

Randomly found this channel when I was playing starfield and the info provided in those videos was top notch, far better than the other clickbait-y ass KZbinrs. I'm so glad that you're now on the next single player game I'm running and the video quality is just as good, if not better

[@s3ct0rxf0ur9]

same bro

[@abdelilhmanflores]

I love how fast galeclaw is. I personally don’t like hangyu. I’m willing to try it out and for a few days to see how my gameplay changes. Truthfully I use galeclaw as a mobility tool for boss fights/general combat situations. Not as much for travel or exploration. Also I kinda made the bad choice of being stuck with nitewing all the way until I got a suzaku. But that was more of me being stubborn and not wanting a new flyer unless it was super super good.

[@seevee9271]

This might get overlooked but it helped me a ton. When overencumbered, I summon Direhowl and ride him everywhere. When overencumbered he moves VERY slow as well, but his base attack "Fierce Fang" does a leap forward. You can just spam that over and over again and I think its about as slow as regular running.

[@GRudeger]

This. Great tip for the early-mid game. I started doing this with Rushoar when I was low lvl. Any mount with a "charge" attack is great for moving from the ore deposits back to the fast travel point at desolate church while way over encumbered.😊

[@EclipX18]

finaly a good guy doing content for Palworld. the other youtuber abuse Palworld the whole time with repeating the same BS all the time in like every video they drop and extend their content with not getting to the point directly. very good video man

[@nicolaioh3848]

Something i think nobody talked about yet is a movement tech with direhowls dash attack, just jump at the right time during the attack and it send you flying similarly fast or faster than slingshotting. you can also extend it by spamming jump

[@dewalashape1224]

[@thegymteachersgrandma]

I read on reddit that celary barely draines any stamina when boosted to lvl 4, but i still see hangyu as better because of the altitude

[@unclemumble]

will have to give this a look at some point. Celaray is definitely viable just not preferred at 0 stars

[@chasedeboer7432]

TIP: alternative inputs to slingshotting is switching weapons at max velocity and then pressing space. It's much easier that way

[@ghoulbuster1]

This one works every time.

[@AZ-697]

I’m hoping there’s an expansion for water pals and uses for them. Maybe smaller islands and villages to visit. Both above and below the water. Being able to build boats or rafts to build moving bases would be great too.

[@WhatWillYouFind]

It is a trade off, water pals move faster in the water but take up a slot . . . meanwhile flying types can fly across the water but much slower until the final tier of pal monsters.

[@AZ-697]

@@WhatWillYouFind Yeah. Some more balance to make them feel useful and have purpose that fliers don’t have would’ve great.

[@mrthor3061]

yeah water pals pretty lacking in usage

[@AZ-697]

@@mrthor3061 I think an expansion with water and underwater exploration would help. Make water travel points too far for most fliers. The existing water mounts should definitely get a base speed boost.

[@mrthor3061]

@@AZ-697 well don’t forget that the game was much larger until they had to switch from the Unity engine to Unreal Engine. meaning there could have been a whole atlantis but they have to make a whole bunch of assets basically from scratch, there are also A LOT of leaks because of this. i imagine some of the lost content will be re created and some will be re imagined

[@ralizek497]

Good data Helzephyr may not be the fastest but I have spent days breeding and maxing out flying mounts for attack and it by far has the highest attack stat. Been doing some experiments with a strange party and running all legendary gear. Felbat - Gobfin - Dazzi - Daedream - and a mount. Felbad is breed for damage, gobfin is breed for boosting my attack while in the party, Dazzi and Dream are providing extra elemental damage, and me doing the bulk work with legendary guns. I have noticed the heal Prock is almost always active, I think daz and dream prock the heal.

[@alexhorchoff5970]

My go to movement has been combo of flying at an angle to the highest point, then dismount to galeclaw to land. Let’s me get a good Birds Eye on all surrounding areas, then hone in on where I want to go. I find this gives great horizontal movement as well without having to fuss with the grappling hook or practice specific inputs that may get patched in the future.

[@adeadgod2870]

This helps so much, thank you! Some of this I've suspected from playing and other things I had no idea about. The wiki doesn't always have the beat tips. This is as big as the lifmunk glitch rn.

[@Julian-xz6nu]

your guides are the best ones out there, looking forward to more of your palworld content!

[@Darkdray123]

A point where you said you recommend not mounting the pal in a fight cos they can get nuked, there's also the fact they have separate cooldowns so for example that big magma ball by fire types that has a long ass cooldown can be used twice, once mounted and once by themselves which effectively can double dps in some scenarios

[@wisemage0]

Arguably the only real reason for using mounted combat at all.

[@Darkdray123]

Idk if youve used rocket launcher while on a 5* Ragnahawk but that 100% extra fire damage goes crazy on frostallion at least@@wisemage0

[@JareBareXP]

I really like your videos you do so much research. I followed your base build to a T by far the best base ever.

[@paulamblard3836]

about "fly at ground level" : i found that the difference of speed is mush bigger for Ragnahawk, like if it had a mush better ground speed than flying speed, and the difference seams bigger than with other mount. or may-be one of the speed bonus only apply one ground.

Direhowl's special attack move can be used like normal while over encumbered. While most mountable Pals with attacks that move them in a straight line simply do their attack but suuuuuuper slowly (or just in place before the recent patch) Direhowl moves you the regular distance every time and it's off cooldown almost immediately. I only use a Rushoar and Direhowl for mining when I go to do it manually.

[@BNETT21]

Due to the egg glitch, I have discovered that eggs from breeding are set in stone as far as stats and traits but wild caught eggs are random at every hatch while the pal stays the same. Thus you can 'catch' the same pal over and over again as if you were in the wild hunting for traits whilst never leaving your base.

[@omegamatsu]

Just like the mining base guide, informative, helpful and easy to digest. Keep it up

[@Homarid1]

I'm currently a ragnahawk fan, though I haven't gotten a jetdragon yet. The ability to go through doors in dungeons is so useful. I also like the fire element damage for my player, though I think beakon with electric damage is more useful overall. I've never seen anyone comment on mount stamina, so that was useful.

[@jordanstark5924]

Nice! I made a (bad) glider video myself just to share with my friends quickly but I totally didn't think to use the Hangyu like that. Some insanely good tips in this video! Water pals definitely need some help lol

[@djmintyfreshful]

With the gliders, you need to redeploy it to maintain the better glide slope. Since you can’t immediately undeploy it, you can reload the musket or any other gun to close the glide.

[@lynararosewater923]

I would love an in depth look at the ground mounts. I Much prefer them to flying mounts. The flyers are usually bigger and just above it all. Even on the ground it's hard to interact with things. The ground mounts let you remain more immersed in the world, the game is more interactive and fun that way. For me at least haha.

[@GRudeger]

Fenglope, upgrade to 1 star for 10% increased speed with minimal investment. (4 stars is 20%) Learn to use double jump, and charge attack jump effectively. Look for or breed into Swift and or Runner, (nimble is fine as well) then if you're obsessive like me tailor to your build with Vanguard or Stronghold Strategist or whatever your build calls for. When you're able to take down Paladius, bench Fenglope, rinse and repeat the above with your new faster, triple jumping ground mount.😊

[@johnmagus6341]

Great video man.

[@eccentricjoe8786]

[@Wurps]

Niche trick for flying mounts I discovered is to hold sprint and alternate between W/Space to effectively travel diagonally using the drift while using significantly less stamina compared to holding both at once, probably only works for specific ones.

[@williambanack8785]

[@LordRazer3]

11:58 this only applies to flying mounts that naturally don't touch the ground. Things like Quivern while it can fly will in fact drown if it runs out of stamina over deep water

ive seen all of this cuz this guide so good ive watched it more than once

[@Meichrob7]

The last tip is particularly useful for Eiktherdeer early before you have a flying mount. Its rush attack is just generally nice because it’s got a low enough cooldown that you can use it instead of walking when you need to recharge stamina.

[@WhatWillYouFind]

Direwolf with even a 2nd tier speed perk is better in my opinion. Wolves get both a charge and 2 separate RANGED attacks that have good accuracy. They make excellent hit and run pets. Side by side it really depends on what you get first though.

Haven't tried with amy of the gliding pals other than the Galeclaw, but with weapons with long reload, you can start reloading then immediately start gliding for faster movement in combat.

[@neko3154]

For the slingshot I find pressing roll + jump at roughly same time but roll first works well, have a borderline flawless consistency with it

[@PipsterSays]

I haven't seen the passives Swift, Runner, or Nimble working on glider pals. When I got my gale with all 3, I raced a friend with a gale with no passives multiple times and each time we went at the same speed/distance. Both were 0 stars at the time. The only buff I noticed was increasing the star rating.

[@hotpenguin607]

Damn, the tips in this vid are nuts

[@ghoulbuster1]

You can slingshot vertically by hooking into a wall and cancelling it before touching the wall, you MUST face away from the wall to avoid grabbing it. Another tip that I found, you can trimp up slopes with enough speed.

[@vince-gx7xe]

rly helpful ty

[@MizuhoChan]

My Faleris has runner and swift, so I'm sticking with that for now haha.

[@NathanTruby]

Just so you know, the grapple trick also works if you initiate a glide during a slide. It's not usable in as many areas, but more speed is more speed.

[@A57-0mona]

You can swap the equiped slot of your grappling hook to reset their timers. Grappling against a wall with your back to it will cause you to bounce off of it allowing you to get some more movement out of it.

[@elijahfriesen8111]

Using the gale claw + any flying mount was my favourite way to exploring the map, you just fly high and just spam the button to glide with gale claw

[@Gam3Junkie7]

As an extra tip: Nitewing is the only flying mount that increases mounted movement speed with star upgrades. So when you're in the early game, aiming for a Nitewing with a movement speed boosting passive and investing at least one star will get big benefits.

[@fakkis0701]

Here before this vid blows up (Thanks for the vids too bro they’ve helped me a lot)

[@That_Lamer]

Regarding maximizing ground travel on flying mounts for your stamina, one other technique you can use is to actually minimize the amount of time you're touching the ground, except via jumping rather than flying. The stamina used for the jump is fixed and relatively low, and you don't drain stamina in the air when not actively burning it. So you can quickly start with a sprint, jump as soon as you reach a decent speed, and then just "glide" off of that small stamina burn and cover way more ground before needing to "walk" to regenerate.

[@soggywaffles7697]

Verdash’s speed boost partner skill also seems to stack with galeclaw. I got a 4* swift/nimble/legend/runner galeclaw that when paired with 2* verdash, clears dungeons significantly faster than any land mount with the same traits. Even though there’s no lift you’ll go insanely far just from sheer speed alone.

[@xdarkwing104x]

i love the science in these videos

[@socalmilt]

PIDF at the end be like “what the fuack that mouth do Walter” 😂

[@Dragoon778]

One way I've been moving resources is by building a processing piece next to the palbox. To move large stacks of stone and wood I use a crusher and cancel the processing into fiber or paldium shards to drop the stack on the spot. Not as good as your grappling gun method but arguably less complicated than the method that will probably get patched.

[@drewknox1]

u can fast fall on flying mounts by unmounting and remounting mid air, u can clip into mountains by pressing ur face to it throwing a mount inside and then mounting, if you grapple the ground u can bounce to get forward and upward momentum

[@camiloacosta3173]

Thanks, master

[@kolr2873]

On the topic of flying mounts stamina vs velocity - I find myself mounting almost exclusively to gain height or to start a boss fight. I prefer the faster mounts because they let me get as high as possible as fast as possible so I can dismount and glide spam the rest of the way to my destination

[@notnotandrew]

A good movement tech in the super early game: Sprint and periodically double tap crouch. You'll slide for just a moment, causing you to briefly regen stamina without losing speed. You can effectively sprint indefinitely like this - if you get low, just slide a few times. Since you can net positive on stamina while sprinting, this means you can weave some rolls in there, too.

[@benw7616]

You can use the dash attacks of mounts to move quickly over long distances while encumbered, saved me alot urly game on ore trips

[@alexanderlibby2251]

What 've been doing for long-distance travel (with 0% fail on console) is use the fenglope double jump off a cliff, and then dismount when high in the air. In the air at peak height I'll use the Galeclaw for maximum distance. It's easier for me than the grappling gun and gets a bit more height which is why i use that method

[@blackkat101]

Since you talked up the Hangyu but didn't talk about the star upgrade other than that it didn't increase one's speed. So here is exactly what it does (Hangyu): | 0-star | 1-star | 2-star | 3-star | 4-star | Gravity Scale | 0.1 | 0.009 | 0.008 | 0.007 | 0.006 | Stamina Drain | 10/s | 9/s | 8/s | 7/s | 6/s | Stamina Drain is of course self explanatory. You drain less stamina per second while using your Hangyu. Gravity Scale on the other hand affects how fast one falls. The Galeclaw, Celaray and Killamari also do similar things. Having better Gravity Scaling and Stamina Drain (their numbers are all different from the Hangyu). ONLY the Hangyu, out of all the Glider Pals does not increase movement speed when upgrading stars. Thus the other 3 all have increased movement speed on top of the other benefits for upgrading stars.

[@BaskyThicc]

When encumbered you can hop on your mount, then hop off, de summon your mount, the re summon your mount, hop on it again then rinse and repeat. When you summon your mount it’ll be ahead of you so when you mount it, it’ll move you forward to your mount just enough to traverse your base so you can deposit your items. I do this because I don’t like the grappling guns taking up extra inventory space.

[@PoisonJarl71501]

What the fuack?! Awesome tips. How do the beginning pals compare to higher level/endgame in terms of damage when both are level 50? As well as abilities worth using and not or if I should only put fire abilities on fire pals, ice on ice etc

you can do a bunny hop if you time the jump when you touch the ground after power gliding, if you use the glide again you will lose the momentum but the jump make you doesnt stop so hard when you touch the ground

[@keimahane]

What is that Blue gun you have? The one thing I did to help with moving loads of ore / ingots from mining bases to production base was put a chest right next to the Palbox and the huge container chest allows you to grapple to it from your furnace. Not much of a tip, but that is what I do.

[@Sotanaht01]

Fighting while mounted lets you control pal moves and save ammo. Most of the time, Pals will do more damage than your guns anyway so it's better to just fly around and nuke stuff than try to dismount and double team. Of course, for the absolute highest DPS possible you would be buffing player damage to the max with things like the Gobfin's passive and Vanguard, then guns outdamage pals to such a degree that it swings the other way where pal damage no longer matters and once again you should just stay mounted (on Frostallion, because it boosts your damage by A LOT).

[@dragonlloux]

I am torn to be honest if I would like this things to get fixed in future or not, such as the gliding being so OP and the sliding at Mach 5, because at the same time that it is a fun travel mechanic, feels great, is a little skill = speed, it also invalidades many of the mount with the example of the absolute latest game mount and fastest possible thing you can get (jetdragon) struggling to keep up with early/mid game gliders Same way that I am conflicted with the exploit of pulling you pal back to avoid a strong attack and then pushing it out again, it’s very op and trivialize a lot of bosses that only have very telegraphed attacks (which is a good thing) but on the other hand feels like a nice thing to do beyond just spam shooting on the sides, almost like a parry system for pal battles specially considering that they often have cool-downs after those attacks that your pal can put in good pain in after a successful “dodge”

[@doncagape5409]

I found if you mount a Pal while it’s casting mid animation you can cast it again when mounted.
