How to Prepare for the Grizzbolt Fight in Palworld
Grizzbolt is one of the toughest electric-type Pal you will face in the early game. Don’t underestimate the powers of Grizzbolt as they can take you down in two hits. Now that you are going to fight an Electric-type pal, you must bring a ground-type Pal to deal the most damage. Grizzbolt is weak to ground-type attacks.
Grizzbolt can either attack you with electric abilities or shoot you from a distance. Sometimes, it can chase you to land attacks on you. At this point of the game, not many areas you have explored to get powerful and higher-level ground-type Pals. So, the best choices you have are Rushoar and Fuddler. These are commonly found Pals and players can capture them earlier in the game.
Rushoar can be found at the starting area of the game. For the Fuddler, you need to visit the dungeons. They spawn inside caves. These two pals will be most effective against Grizzbolt. Additioanlly, Bring Daedream. Daedream is one of the best early-game pals and can effectively damage the very first boss of the game.
Before you go for the fight, make sure, you have mastered the skill of dodging attacks. Additionally, keep lots of food in your inventory, so, you can supply your Pals with food whenever they get damaged or hungry.
Generally, you can use one Pal at a time, but, if you have already equipped the Daedream’s Necklace, you can use two Pals simultaneously. With this Necklace, Daedream will always follow you and fight enemies whenever required. The necklace unlocks at level 8. Therefore, it is better to take some time and after you arrange all the necessary items, go for the fight.
Now that you are prepared for the fight, let’s jump into the Grizzbolt fight and check how to defeat the first boss of the game.
Palworld Grizzbolt Fight- What are the Useful Strategies?
As you step into the fight and Grizzbolt appears, choose your Pal and shoot the boss with an arrow. Your Pals will immediately start attacking Grizzbolt. The battle arena has several pillars. Players can hide behind them. However, it will be the only way to save yourself. Anyway, the boss will eventually locate you behind the pillars. So, keep running through the battle arena and change cover.
To win the fight, the first thing players need do is to understand the moves of Grizzbolt. The boss comes with a huge health pool of 30550. Unless you know the boss’s pattern of attacks, you can’t fight it. Another tricky part about this fight is that this fight must be completed within a set time. As soon as you start the battle, you will see a timer also start. The boss must be taken down within 10 minutes.
While you have to stay behind the pillars, don’t stay inactive. Instead, shoot arrows towards the boss to deal some damage. But make sure the boss doesn’t notice you. You can use the three-shot bow, as it shoots three arrows simultaneously. Though the pillars can block long-range incoming attacks, things won’t be as simple as they seem. The boss can sometimes come near you to hit you.
Headshots do the most damage, but they are pretty tricky to land. If you want to land headshots, you can let your Pals distract Grizzbolt and go behind the boss. Now, shoot arrows to hit its head. Go behind a pillar immediately after the hit, so the boss doesn’t spot you.

Based on the boss’s position and attacks, you can take back and reposition your pals. Keep these strategies going on throughout the fight and you will take the boss down.
That’s everything players need to know about beating Grizzbolt in Palworld. Once the boss is dead, players will receive an achievement and five Ancient Technology points as rewards.
