8 Essential Things to Do in Palworld's Sakurajima Region

Make the most out of your time on this beautiful new island.

Palworld has seen updates here and there since its launch earlier this year, but its biggest came on June 27, 2024, with the Sakurajima update.

In addition to a slew of new endgame content and updated mechanics, the focal point is the eponymous island that makes up the game's latest region.

But what should you do when you arrive?

Catch Some New Pals

One of the best activities on Sakurajima is catching more Pals.

The Sakurajima update added 14 brand-new Pals along with ten new subspecies versions.

Nearly all of them have a home on Sakurajima itself.

Exploring the island is a great way to fill out your Paldex and discover some new unpaid workers—err, I mean friends.

Challenge the New Alpha Pals

Take on the new Alpha Pals introduced in the update.

Outside of the dungeons, you have your choice between a level 54 Menasting Terra and a level 55 Knocklem.

Each will be a welcome asset to your max-leveled teams.

They're both powerful Ground-type Pals that can help against Electric-types.

Take on Saya, the Latest Faction Leader

Saya is the leader of the Moonflower faction and resides at the island's center in the aptly named Moonflower Tower.

Her Pal, Selyne, is the strongest tower boss so far at level 55, meaning you should expect a tough fight.

Defeating these two will unlock Hard Mode versions of them all.

Capture a Selyne if You're Lucky

Finding a Selyne requires a specific situation.

Selyne will only spawn during the newly added Meteorite Events.

The event needs to trigger for you in the Sakurajima region.

These events run on a timer, usually occurring once every three hours of playtime.

Be at the right place and time and hope the odds are in your favor.

Farm High-Valued Scrap Piles

Scrap Piles added with the Sakurajima update are a great source of loot.

These aren't limited to any location and can be found all over the map.

The quality of this loot varies based on location.

Scrap Piles are usually better in areas with strong enemies.

Find More of Those Annoyingly Hidden Lifmunk Effigies

New Lifmunk Effigies have been added in the Sakurajima update.

These can be found in sneaky places throughout the Sakurajima island.

Be extra thorough and check every giant mushroom and cliffside.

Run Through Cherry Blossom Cave Dungeons

Every primary biome in Palworld has themed dungeons, and the Sakurajima Region is no different.

It features the unique Cherry Blossom Cave Dungeons.

Rare accessories and schematics can be found from a defeated Alpha Boss as well as the Treasure Chests at the end of the dungeon.

Establish a Crude Oil Base

The Sakurajima update added five more Technology levels, including new weapons and armor.

The basic building block of these is the new Crude Oil material.

Sakurajima features an abundance of areas to gather oil.

I recommend making a base on the island for this essential resource.

Sakurajima Island isn't just a beautiful place to explore; it features some excellent additions to Palworld's gameplay that are well worth your time.
