Palworld is full of high-level Pals that can be extremely difficult to defeat and capture – especially in the early stages of the game, as you scramble for basic resources just to survive.
But, as with the best freeform open-world games, where there’s a will, there’s a way.
Rather than sticking to the tried-and-tested method of picking off Jetragon’s health from afar and bringing Ice-type Pals to defeat them, GamesRadar spotted X (formerly Twitter) user makeUmove – who is far more clever than us – showing off a genius method to kill them instantly with nothing other than a colossal staircase.
This 'Stairway to Heaven' strategy sees players craft a staircase that really only has one direction – down into the cold, hard earth (except it’s hot, as Jetragon is found at a literal volcano).
Palworld pro makeUmove shows us how they lure the hapless Jetragon all the way up to the top of the stairs, only to rush down and knock out the bottom — which, in turn, destroys the whole staircase.

There's nothing stopping you from using the 'Stairway to Heaven' on any and all Pals to see what happens.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen ingenious workarounds for extremely hard bosses.
Earlier in January, GamesRadar also clocked Video Gamers Podcast taking to X to share their method of killing Mammorest by luring them to walk across campfires to cause fire damage until they keel over.
