To acquire Ancient Bones in Palworld, players must venture into the game's wildlife sanctuaries, specifically the No. 3 Wildlife Sanctuary. These sanctuaries are identifiable by large, dome-like shields that protect them from the outside world. While the shields offer protection, they also necessitate stealth to avoid detection by patrolling forces.
The most efficient route to the No. 3 Wildlife Sanctuary begins at the Deep Sand Dunes fast travel point. From there, players should travel northeast. To reach the sanctuary, a flying or aquatic Pal is recommended for crossing the terrain. It is advisable to equip heat resistance gear for daytime travel and cold resistance for nighttime excursions, as the Dessicated Desert environment experiences temperature fluctuations.
Once inside the sanctuary's dome, players must remain vigilant and avoid the red spotlights of patrolling aerial craft. The objective within the sanctuary is to locate a skeleton, specifically a ribcage formation, which serves as the resource node for Ancient Bones. Any mining tool, such as a pickaxe, can be used to extract the material. However, given the need to evade patrols and hostile native Pals, utilizing a faster mining tool is advantageous to maximize the limited window for gathering.
Ancient Bones are a key component for crafting a range of advanced accessories within Palworld. Their rarity and the challenging nature of obtaining them in the wildlife sanctuaries make them a valuable resource for players looking to enhance their gear.
