The Palpagos Island in Palworld is pretty big and certainly not made for a pedestrian. There’s a lot to explore and trust me, you would not want to find that out by simply walking. But that doesn’t mean you should restrict yourself to a particular region. Instead, I will suggest you catch a Mount and ride it to your destination. Luckily, some Pals can be ridden on the Ground, in the Water, and in the Air. However, you will have to unlock the ability to ride them first.
To help you with that, I will explain to you how you can unlock and ride Pals in Palworld. So, let’s get started.
Here’s How To Ride Pals in Palworld
To Ride a Pal in Palworld, the first thing you are supposed to do is find a rideable Pal. You can find them wandering through the woods, in the sky, or swimming in the water. Their location is completely random. Once you have found a rideable Pal, you will need a Saddle to Mount them in Palworld. Each Pal has its own Saddle which unlocks on different levels of the Technology tree.
For instance, Rushoar is the first Rideable Pal you can get in your playthrough. To be able to ride this Pal, you will have to craft a Rushoar Saddle which unlocks when you reach Technology Level 6.
Note: The Saddle in the Technology tree will only become available if you have caught the Pal associated with it. Otherwise, it will show a “?” on the place of the Saddle. If you reached Technology Level 6 and still can’t see the Rushoar Saddle then that is because you haven’t caught the Rushoar Pal yet.
After you have unlocked a Saddle, you will need a Pal Gear Workbench to craft it. A Pal Gear Workbench is unlocked once you have reached Technology Level 6. You will x10 Paladium Fragments, x30 Wood, and x2 Cloth to craft this workbench. Once built, interact with it and craft the Saddle you have unlocked in the Technology tree.
Now that you have crafted and collected the Saddle, summon your Pal and stand close to it. You will get a prompt to ride that Pal in Palworld. That’s it, you can mount and ride your Pal. Also, in the table below, we have mentioned at what Technology level you unlock a Saddle. So you can refer to it whenever you want.
