How to Get Ancient Civilization core Palworld

Are you ready to unlock the best gear on the Palpagos Islands in 2025? If you want to reach the top, you need to find ancient civilization cores to power up your late-game technology. I am here to help you understand how to collect this rare material and grow your wealth in the game today. These cores are the absolute peak of crafting resources, and knowing where to find them will separate you from the average player.

Surviving the new Level 60 zones is almost impossible without the right items. You cannot simply find these cores on the ground because they contain forgotten knowledge from a world lost long ago. You must be brave enough to fight and defeat raid bosses to earn them. Many players feel confused when they cannot find these items in standard chests, but this updated guide will make the process very simple for you to follow.

The year 2025 has changed the source of power through a new update from Pocket Pair, Inc. You can now use expeditions to gather cores while you focus on your base. Whether you want to start a new breeding project or build a stronger shield, you need a solid plan. Let us look at how to defeat the grind and get ancient loot for your character.

In 2025, the ancient civilization core is the most important item for advanced players. In the past, people only cared about ancient civilization parts, but those are for lower levels now. You need these purple-tier legendary cores to craft items like the Ultra Shield and the Large-Scale Electric Egg Incubator. These items provide the statistical edge required to survive the harshest biomes introduced in the Sakurajima and Feybreak expansions.

The publisher made these cores rare to ensure only the strongest players can construct the best items. If you want to survive the newest Palworld content, you must learn the right method for obtaining these cores. They are the key to the best technology in the game right now. Unlike parts, which drop from almost any Alpha Pal, cores are locked behind specific high-level activities that require a strategic approach and a strong team of Pals.

The primary active way to farm these items is through the raid system. In 2025, it remains the most reliable way to get exactly what you need when you need it. You must be prepared for a difficult fight, as the bosses in this update have more health and smarter attack patterns than ever before.

When you successfully defeat the standard Bellanoir (Level 30), she drops exactly 1 ancient civilization core. However, if you are strong enough to fight Bellanoir Libero, the drops increase to 2 or 3 cores per victory. The late 2024 and 2025 update also introduced Blazamut Ryu as a raid option. This encounter is considered the ultimate test of strength, often dropping 3 to 6 cores. This is the best way to grow your wealth quickly if you are ready for a tough challenge.

To start this process, you need to visit high-level dungeons to find Bellanoir Slab fragments. These are usually found in the final chests of dungeons located in the desert or volcanic regions. Once you have enough, you can construct the slab at a workbench.

• Collect the Fragments: You need 4 pieces to make one full slab.
• Build the Altar: Place your summoning altar in an open area away from your main base. It is very important to do this because the boss will likely destroy any nearby structures.
• The Fight: Use the slab to summon Bellanoir and defeat her to get your core. I recommend using Dragon-type Pals to deal maximum damage.

If you want the easiest way to get ancient cores without intense combat, you should focus on the Syndicate Oil Rig. This high-level area is packed with Syndicate soldiers and automated turrets, but it offers massive rewards for stealthy players.

You should use a Galeclaw to glide low over the water so the turrets do not see you. If you fly too high, the lasers will knock you out of the sky instantly. Once you are on the rig, stay quiet and look for the large electronic chests that glow with a yellow light. A successful run of the rig can give you up to 5 cores at once. This area resets every 30 minutes to an hour of real-world time, making it a fantastic secondary farming location.

In 2025, you do not always have to fight to get what you need. You can use expeditions to gather materials while you are busy with other tasks. This is very helpful for beginners who want to avoid difficult battles or for veterans who want to maximize their efficiency. Pocket Pair, Inc. introduced this feature to allow players to progress even when they are focused on base building.

To start using this method, you must unlock the station in your technology menu once you reach the appropriate level.

• Build the Station: Place it in your base and assign your highest-level Pals. The higher the combined "Expedition Power" of your team, the better your rewards will be.
• Select the Map: Choose a high-level area like the Dark Cave of Feybreak or the Celestial Secura Cavern. These are the only maps that have a high chance of returning with cores.
• Wait and Collect: After some time, your Pals will return with rewards. In 2025, you can use specialized "Expedition Fuel" to speed up this process.

Many players on Reddit ask if there is a shortcut or a secret trick to obtaining cores. While you cannot buy ancient civilization cores from any merchant, the best trick in 2025 is the "Base Swapping" method. You can build a temporary base with a summoning altar right next to a fast travel point, summon the boss, and have your strongest team of 20 Pals finish the fight in minutes. This allows you to cycle through your Bellanoir Slab collection much faster than fighting them one-on-one in the wild.

Since these cores are rare, you should not waste them on decorative items. Here are the most important recipes to unlock first to help you progress through the 2025 endgame content:

• Ultra Shield: This is the best armor for your character. It requires 30 cores and offers massive protection against the new Level 60 enemies.
• Electric Egg Incubator: This makes hatching Pals much faster in any place. It ignores temperature requirements, which is a huge help for massive breeding projects.
• Ability Glasses: These help you read the hidden stats of wild Pals. In 2025, knowing the hidden potential of a Pal before catching it is vital for competitive play.
• Homing Module: This makes your weapons much more accurate during a fight. It is specifically used for the Rocket Launcher to ensure you never miss a moving target.

I have noticed many new players get confused between the ancient civilization parts and the ancient civilization core. It is important to know the difference so you do not waste time farming the wrong things.

Ancient Civilization Parts are blue items. You get these from standard Alpha Pals that you find wandering around the map, like Mammorest or Chillet. What can you do with these? You use them for mid-game things like the Grappling Gun or standard Shields.

Ancient Civilization Cores are purple, legendary items. You can only get these from the summoning altar, the Oil Rig, or high-level expeditions. These are only used for the very best technology in the game. If you are looking at a recipe and it asks for a purple icon, you are looking for a core.

To be efficient and rank among the top players, you should follow a simple routine every day. This will help you collect everything you need without feeling overwhelmed by the grind. Consistency is the secret to building the best base on the Palpagos Islands.

• Morning: Check your expeditions and send your Pals out again to the Feybreak regions. This takes only a few minutes.
• Mid-Day: Visit the Syndicate Oil Rig. Use your Galeclaw strategy to quickly check the yellow chests and leave.
• Afternoon: Explore a few Level 45+ dungeons. Even if you do not get a core, you will gather fragments for your next raid.
• Evening: Use your summoning altar to defeat a boss. Invite friends if the fight is too hard, as everyone in the group gets the loot.

When you are fighting for cores, especially at the summoning altar, you need to be prepared. The 2025 update made raid bosses smarter. They now target the player more often than the Pals.

I suggest wearing the Ultra Shield at all times. Also, bring a variety of Pals. For Bellanoir, Dragon types are great, but for the newer Feybreak bosses, you might need Ice or Fire types. Always check the elemental weaknesses before you start the summon. Having a dedicated "Combat Base" with no extra buildings will also help your game run smoother and prevent your important items from being destroyed during the fight.

While the Oil Rig and Raids are faster, do not ignore dungeons. In 2025, the publisher added "Legendary Chests" at the end of certain Level 55 dungeons. These have a small chance to drop a civilization core directly. Even if you do not get a core, the Bellanoir Slab fragments you find are the "currency" you need to start your raids. Think of dungeons as the foundation of your farming strategy.

The journey to get every ancient civilization core you need is a long one, but it is very rewarding. By using the summoning altar, the Oil Rig, and expeditions, you will have enough materials to construct a perfect base and the strongest gear possible.

I am constantly impressed by how much Pocket Pair, Inc. has added to this game. Always keep an eye on any new updates or notes from the publisher to see if they add more ways to earn cores. The Palpagos Islands are full of secrets, and with this guide, you now have the forgotten knowledge needed to conquer them.
