Palworldfeatures a wide variety of exciting creatures known as Pals, which you can catch and strong-arm into doing your bidding. While some Pals are adept at combat, others excel at base-related tasks. However, only a few Pals, like Astegon, can combine the best of both worlds.

This intimidatingly powerful Dragon/Dark element Pal can not only function as a mount but also aids in Ore mining ventures. Obtaining one, however, poses a significant challenge due to its rarity, but it’s not entirely impossible. With a little bit of patience and by playing your cards right, you may easily add this Pal to your Paldeck.

What Kind Of Utility Can Astegon Provide

While Astegon’sBlack Ankylosaur partner skillallows you to ride it as aflying mountafter unlocking its saddle at level 47, it is not particularly fit for that purpose as it flies at painfully slow speeds.

However, Astegon compensates for this drawback with itsability to deal increased damage toOre depositswhile mounted. Add the fact that it alsostands out as the only Pal with a level four in its Mining trait,and this enables Astegon to efficiently mine all manner of rocks and ores, making it the one of thebest Pals for a mining base.

Owing to its nocturnal features from the Dark type,Astegon also stays awake during the night and can continue working uninterrupted.

However, bear in mind thatPals working at night tend tolose Sanity at a much higher rate, andgiven Astegon’s bulky size and towering stature, it also requires a high food consumption.That is why it needs to be properly looked after and fed regularly if you don’t want it getting grumpy.

It also has aHandiwork level of one,making it possible for Astegon to be assigned to workbenches, albeit itsworking speedis very slow while crafting high quality items.

Where To Find Astegon

Astegon Day And Night Habitats In Palworld

Astegon is a far cry from its other Dark element brethren as it canappear during daytime and nighttimeat two specific locations. The first location where it is found is its only known habitat, theNo. 3 Wildlife Sanctuary, which is the isolated island towards the northeast corner of the map. Level 40 or higher Astegon can appear here in bunches of three.

You won’t always find it there as Astegon is an extremely rare encounter. So, you’ll have tore-roll the Pal encounters by getting as far away as you can from the island until the Pals re-spawnand an Astegon appears.

Additionally,alevel 48 alpha boss variant of Astegoncan also be encountered in theDestroyed Mineshaftin thevolcanic region. You’re going to need to find the entrance at thecoordinates (-585,-422)to access the Destroyed Mineshaft. While the entrance to it is kept out of sight, you should be able to spot it after heading a little west from theMount Obsidian Midpoint fast travel point.

How To Breed Astegon

What Egg Does Astegon Hatch From

Astegon can hatch from aHuge Dragon Egg. A telltale sign of such eggs is their particularlylarge size and the pink and black patternsrunning across their shells.

However, as powerful and rare Pals hatch from these eggs, these are not easy to come by. While they spawn randomly throughout the map, you may increase your odds of finding one by searching for them onMount Obsidian and the Astral Mountains, as these eggs are often perched in elevated areas.
