One of the biggest parts of the experience is building and upgrading your home base, and one particularly crucial level upgrade requires Pal Fluid. Unlike common resources such as Stone and Wood, which can be found almost anywhere, Pal Fluid is a rare resource that only drops from certain Pals out in the wild.
If you are just starting out in , spending some time building and upgrading your base camp is highly recommended. At camp, you can build and place useful objects such as crafting benches, Berry Plantations, and Ranches, which produce useful resources when worked by your Pals. The Hot Spring, which helps you keep your Pals in tip-top shape, requires Pal Fluid to build.
To obtain Pal Fluid, you need to defeat or catch Water-type Pals. Unfortunately, they are rather rare in the early game, and the only Water-type Pal you are likely to encounter near your base is the Water-/Ice-type Pengullet. These adorable penguin-like creatures are among the coolest early-game Pals you can find, but their appearance can be deceptive. They hit surprisingly hard, attacking you and your partner Pal with powerful jets of water. They are also prone to running away, making them tough to catch.
Luckily, they are also low-level Pals, so you shouldn’t have too much trouble catching or defeating them. Having the right starter can be useful, but ultimately, Pengullet isn’t likely to down your character unless you're being careless. Each Pengullet drops one Pal Fluid regardless of whether you catch or defeat them, but in the early game, you should aim to catch at least a few.
This species of Pal has a talent for Watering, which makes them helpful in speeding up growth on your Berry Plantations.
Pal Fluid is mainly used to build the Hot Spring, a useful utility block back at camp. Overall, you will require the following resources:
The Hot Spring is mainly used to raise the Sanity (SAN) of Pals at camp. Pals gradually lose SAN over time as they work on their various camp tasks. Eventually,
