What Level Is the Moon Lord in Palworld?

The Moon Lord raid boss in Palworld spawns at level 50 , but many sources recommend you be level 60 or higher before attempting to fight it. Later updates added a harder “Moon Lord [Master]” variant, which is even tougher but still based on that same level 50 raid boss foundation.

Quick Answer

  • Moon Lord base level: 50
  • Recommended player level: 60+
  • Health: Over 400,000 HP (raid boss scale)
  • Type: Raid boss, cannot be captured

Why the Level 60+ Recommendation?

The Moon Lord is designed as the final, toughest boss of the Tides of Terraria update. Its attacks are massive, it has multiple phases, and it can wipe out both you and your Pals very quickly if you’re underprepared.

Key reasons for the level 60+ advice:

  • You need stronger weapons (Plasma Cannon, Laser Gatling Gun, etc.) and armor (Hexolite set or similar) to survive its bursts and do enough damage.
  • Higher-level Pals with better stats and skills (tanks like Mammorest/Paladius, healers like Lyleen Noct, and flying mounts like Jetragon) are far more effective against its sweeping attacks and multi-phase mechanics.

Moon Lord [Master] Difficulty

In patch v0.6.4, the developers added a new difficulty called Moon Lord [Master] :

  • This is not a different “level” in the sense of a new number, but a harder version of the same level 50 raid boss.
  • It requires even better gear, Pals, and coordination, and is meant for players who already beat the standard Moon Lord comfortably.

How to Summon the Moon Lord

If you’re planning to fight it, here’s the basic process:

  1. Defeat the Eye of Cthulhu in the Sealed Realm of Terraria (southeast of Fisherman’s Point) to unlock the Celestial Sigil blueprint.
  2. Collect 100 Hallowed Bars from pots and enemies in that same dungeon.
  3. Craft the Celestial Sigil at a Primitive Workbench or better.
  4. Build a Summoning Altar using stone and Paldium Fragments, ideally in a clear area away from important structures.
  5. Interact with the altar while holding the sigil to start the raid.

Fight Strategy in a Nutshell

  • Phase 1: Destroy the three eyes (forehead + two hands) when they open; they’re invulnerable when closed.
  • Phase 2: Once all eyes are down, the heart opens—this is the only time you can deal major damage to its main health pool.
  • Repeat the cycle until the boss is defeated.
