The Feybreak update for Palworld introduces a wealth of new Pals and challenges, highlighted by a formidable boss battle against Bjorn and his ally Bastigor. Together, they form one of the toughest boss duos in the game. To overcome them, you’ll need to assemble the strongest team and gear at your disposal.
Bjorn and Bastigor serve as the final opponents within Feybreak Tower, which features a boss rush culminating in a showdown with these two. You must first defeat six other Trainers and their Pals before facing them; hence, ensure you’ve secured enough victories beforehand. As you tackle the Tower on Feybreak Island, it’s advisable to have your Pals at around Level 60 to enhance your odds of winning.
Preparing for Bjorn and Bastigor
Level Up a Fire-Type Pal
Going into this boss fight unprepared is likely to end badly, so it’s crucial to have Pals at their maximum level for this encounter. You must build the most powerful equipment available to increase your chances against Bjorn and Bastigor. Since both bosses can inflict significant damage, consider using your most powerful weapons for the fight.
Highly effective weapons for this battle include the Rocket Launcher or Plasma Cannon, both of which boast the highest damage output in the game. Gathering the necessary schematics and materials to craft these weapons ahead of time is a smart move before taking on the bosses at Feybreak Tower.
While Bjorn poses a challenge, Bastigor will be your biggest concern during the fight. As an Ice-type Pal, Bastigor’s attacks can deal cold damage to both your Pals and your character. To mitigate this, equip strong cold-resistant gear to lessen damage taken from Bastigor’s moves.
To counter Bastigor’s Ice advantage, capture at least one Fire-type Pal. Ice-types are vulnerable to Fire attacks, making Pals like Jormuntide Ignis excellent allies to bring to the Tower’s summit. This variant of the regular Water-type Jormuntide also has a Partner Skill that boosts its attack, making it nearly ideal against Bastigor.
Other strong choices for this battle include Blazamut or Incineram, both of which utilize Fire attacks. Any Pal that can serve as a mount during the fight can also be a significant asset.
Additionally, Legendary Pals from the Palworld Feybreak update can make formidable allies when facing Bjorn and Bastigor. These rare Pals are challenging to catch but typically possess superior stats compared to other creatures found around Feybreak Island. Try to breed or capture counters before entering the boss fight unprepared.
Locating Bjorn and Bastigor
Unlock the Highest Point of Feybreak Tower
To face Bjorn and Bastigor, head to the coordinates (-1294, -1669) at the top of Feybreak Tower. You can only reach this peak after defeating the previous six bosses in the area, which include:
- Zoe and Grizzbolt
- Lily and Lyleen
- Axel and Orserk
- Marcus and Faleris
- Victor and Shadowbeak
- Saya and Selyne
To access Feybreak Tower, you’ll need Bounty Tokens for the Alpha Pals Dazzi Noct, Caprity Noct, and Omascul, which can be obtained by defeating each of the Alpha Field Bosses scattered throughout Feybreak Island.
Once you’ve vanquished all these foes, you’ll be ready for Bjorn and Bastigor, whose arena is located at the Tower’s peak. This area experiences extremely low temperatures, which can damage your character on the way up. This provides yet another good reason to equip cold-resistant gear before facing the bosses.
Strategies to Defeat Bjorn and Bastigor
Divide and Conquer for Victory
Your success in the battle against Bjorn and Bastigor hinges on trusting the Pal you use. The optimal approach is to have your character engage Bjorn while your Pal takes on Bastigor. Since Bjorn rides Bastigor, you will have opportunities to attack him while keeping your Pal busy with the larger enemy.
Bastigor employs long-range ice spikes and area-of-effect strikes to inflict damage on your character. Utilize the substantial pillars in the battle arena to shield yourself from ice projectiles whenever possible. If you’re playing in Hardcore mode in Palworld, avoiding damage altogether is vital to your survival.

Icicle Drop |
Bastigor summons icicles that drop around the arena, dealing damage in a small area. |
Look for a growing circle on the ground that indicates where the icicle will land, and dodge out of the way. |
|
Ice Throw |
Bjorn and Bastigor create an icicle projectile and throw it, causing damage in a small area upon impact. |
Dodge behind a pillar to evade the projectile and then move back to avoid the explosion. |
|
Frozen Water Beam |
Bastigor fires a compressed water laser at a target after conjuring an orb of water. |
This move takes time to charge. Use this opportunity to hide behind cover and avoid damage. |
|
Avalanche |
They create a line of icicles that shoot projectiles at you. |
There’s a brief delay between each attack, allowing you to dodge or find cover. |
|
Ice Stomp |
Bastigor stomps the ground, dealing damage in a line and then dashes forward to hit you. |
Dodge back to avoid the stomp, then move sideways to evade the dash attack. |
|
Water Geysers |
Bastigor creates geysers that emerge from below, either horizontally or vertically. |
Dodge through horizontal geysers or to the side when they appear vertically. |
|
Kings of Ice |
Bastigor freezes the ground, causing ice spikes to emerge and deal damage. |
Observe the freezing areas and move to parts of the arena that remain unfrozen. |
The bosses also launch rock projectiles and powerful ice smashes that can be tough to dodge. Keep in mind that there’s a chance for either boss to freeze you during attacks, which makes avoiding their moves crucial. Dodge strategically to escape freezing attacks and shoot Bjorn for critical hits to wear down his health.
Using pillars as cover for reloading can keep you prepared for the next shot. Steering clear of powerful attacks and using hit-and-run tactics to strike when they’re distracted can lead you to victory over time.
