How to defeat Alpha Boss Astegon in Palworld?

Deep within the lava core of Obsidian Mountain lies an evil force that exudes dark energy. This ominous aura is none other than the most powerful Alpha in the world of Pal, known as Alpha King Astorgon. As one of the toughest opponents in the game, Alpha King Astorgon is no easy task.

Possessing immense strength, incredible speed, and elusive visibility, the mighty Astorgan is a daunting opponent. Approaching this behemoth without adequate preparation will almost certainly result in failure.

After successfully capturing Astorgan from the wild, players can use its Black Ankylosaur Companion skill to increase mining efficiency while riding. However, to use this flying mount, it is necessary to craft an Astorgan Saddle, which requires the following materials:

  • Leather x 30
  • Ingot x 50
  • Palladium Fragments x 55
  • Refining Ingot x 50

Unlocking Astegon’s active combat skills is another advantage, including:

  • Dark Laser: Unleashes a powerful charged beam that deals massive damage to enemies.
  • Nightmare Ball: Fires a giant ball of darkness at the opponent.
  • Dragon Breath: Inflicts continuous damage to enemies through breath infused with dragon power.

To balance the competition with the boss, you and your friends must eat food that improves your status:

Alpha Boss Astegon’s powerful attacks come at a cost, as its lack of agility makes it surprisingly unwieldy.

Alpha Boss Astegon moves at a slow pace, so you can effectively block its attacks by positioning yourself right underneath it, following its path, and continuing to attack without stopping to move.

Performing this move prevents Alpha Boss Astegon from getting out of range, thus hindering its ability to launch its next attack.

Use the boss’s slow speed to your advantage, using stamina to overcome it and protect yourself and your friends.

The ruined mines are the domain of Astorgon, the old king of Alpha. There are lava pits near the walls, which are very dangerous. Be careful when traversing this dangerous area to avoid catching fire.

Now, let’s dive into strategies for dealing with each of Alpha Boss Astegon’s moves to prevent unexpected encounters with lava:

  1. Dragon Cannon:

    • This move has a short cooldown, so it’s a common choice against Alpha Boss Astegon.
    • The close quarters of the Ruined Mine shorten the flight distance of the projectiles, making them difficult to dodge.
    • Keep in constant motion during the encounter, given the distance of the lava pit near the wall.
  2. Spiritual Flame:

    • During this tricky maneuver, three self-guided projectiles track the target for a short period of time.
    • Since the mine has limited space, choose a direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) and keep walking until every energy ball disappears.
  3. Dragon Explosion:

    • Alpha Boss Astegon will approach before using Dragon Burst, and when it reaches above you, you can effectively dodge it by rolling in the opposite direction.
  4. Nightmare Ball:

    • This targeted skill deals massive damage and moves quickly.
    • Run horizontally before the ball is launched to avoid it hitting you.
  5. Dragon Breath:

    • Effective in close and medium range situations, staying far enough away from Alpha Boss Astegon can keep you out of harm’s way.
    • If you can’t avoid it, run clockwise or counterclockwise until the boss finishes attacking, as being caught in its breath can result in multiple hits.
  6. Dark Laser:

    • Due to its extended cooldown, Dark Laser is rarely used.
    • The boss must charge before it can fire, which is indicated by a unique animation. Once observed, start running left or right to avoid the beam.
    • The slow turn rate during this maneuver allows you to walk instead of running, saving energy if you react quickly.

Remember, being hit by a dark laser beam can have dire consequences, so awareness and a prompt response are crucial to survival.

Find Alpha King Astorgon

Alpha King Astorgon is located in the ruined mines of Obsidian Mountain in the world of Parr, with the exact coordinates of the entrance being -435, -533. The most efficient route is to teleport to the Obsidian Mountain midpoint waypoint, head west, climb the mountain, and reach the back of the lava pool.

While the mine may not be obvious, keep an eye out for the glowing torch on the rock wall to the right of the path, behind the lava, which can guide you. Finding Astegon is relatively simple, and it is located in Wildlife Sanctuary No. 3 at the northernmost point of the map.

Capturing or defeating this companion is feasible during both day and night. However, due to its terminal state, entering the shelter is a difficult challenge as it is patrolled by high-ranking companions and PIDF soldiers.

Utilize a flying mount like the Nitewing or Faleris to cross the border and overcome the challenges of Sanctuary. Also, bring an ice or dragon-type companion like the Relaxaurus or Frostallion Noct, as Astegon is susceptible to these elements.

You will encounter the level 48 Astragan the Star Reaver boss in the Obsidian Mountain Volcano area in the Ruined Mine at coordinates (-576, -421). As it is the final boss of the game, defeating this Alpha companion requires heat-resistant armor and the best weapons in your arsenal.

Palward

Developed by Japanese team Pocket Pair, Palworld immerses players in a vast and charming world filled with adorable creatures known as “pals.” These lovable pals serve a variety of roles, assisting with base building, providing transportation, and participating in combat.

The game offers both single-player exploration and online multiplayer modes for co-op with up to 32 friends. Palworld was originally announced in 2021 and entered early access in January 2024, available to players on Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

Palworld uses a similar whimsical idea to Pokémon, incorporating guns into the gameplay to add a sense of humor to the game. Players can equip their friends with guns, which adds entertainment to the gaming experience. However, players pointed out that the game may use creatures to make a living or as laborers in mines and factories, which has sparked discussion.

Palworld received mixed reviews, with some praising its gameplay and variety of activities. However, others criticized it for relying too heavily on shocking humor and for incorporating designs and concepts that were considered uninnovative.

Engaging in battles, strategically weakening them, and capturing them using the Companion Orb are an essential part of your journey. The option to buy or trade Companions with other players enhances the gaming experience.

Each Companion possesses unique skills, making them versatile assets, whether used as a weapon or a mount.

Palworld introduces a variety of destructive groups, including the Rayne Syndicate, Free Pal Alliance, Brothers of the Eternal Pyre, Palpagos Islands Defense Force, and the Pal Genetic Research Unit. The main boss battles are against the leaders of these groups, who reside in towers on the island.
