How to get Ancient Technology Points in Palworld
You'll notice in the Technology tab that the rarer crafting recipes fall into the purple 'Ancient' column. These recipes can only be unlocked with Ancient Technology Points rather than the standard Technology Points you get for levelling up.
Ancient Technology Points can be obtained by defeating Syndicate bosses or Tower Bosses as they are also referred to. This means the first set of points you can acquire is by defeating Zoe and Grizzbolt at the Rayne Syndicate Tower Entrance Waypoint.
As Grizzbolt is an Electric Pal, we suggest kitting your team out with Ground Pals as these will deal double damage. Palworld also has different hitboxes for enemies, meaning you'll deal more damage if you score headshots. As such, we recommend directing headshots to Zoe on Grizzbolt's back where possible. When defeated, you can get five Ancient Technology Points from Zoe and Grizzbolt.
If you're playing solo, it's sure to be a tough fight, but is possible with the correct setup. Try to get past level 10 and make sure you equip a shield for an extra health bar. For more info on how to survive in Palworld, check out our Palworld tips and tricks guide for beginners.
Where to get Ancient Civilization Parts in Palworld
Once you have points to unlock recipes, you'll then need Ancient Civilization Parts to craft most of the recipes. You can get Ancient Civilization Parts from:
- Defeating or capturing regional Alphas
- Looting rare chests throughout the world
- Defeating or capturing dungeon bosses
- Defeating or capturing Lucky Pals
See our interactive Palworld Map below for all 43 Alpha Pal locations, all dungeon locations and other useful points of interest and collectables.
Alphas are stronger named variants of Pals and will have large a red health bar across the top of the screen when you encounter them. When you run into an Alpha in the wild, its location will be automatically added to your Palworld map, so make sure to check this for any Alphas in the vicinity.
Alphas will put up a strong fight, so make sure you're nicely levelled up and kitted out with a range of weapons. See our Pal type chart to familiarise yourself with all the element types in Palworld and what they are strongest and weakest against before a fight.
Once you have enough Ancient Civilization Parts you can make interesting things like the Egg Incubator or Grappling Gun. Building this is a good priority as it allows you to hatch new Pals from the various eggs you can collect in the world and further build up your Paldeck.
