Menasting guide

Menasting is a Dark/Ground scorpion Pal that hardens your whole team — its partner skill gives every party member a flat Defense boost. It's a strong support catch for the mid-to-late game and a solid Mining worker at base.

Where to find Menasting

The dependable source is the fixed Alpha Menasting, a level ~44 field boss inside the Dessicated Mineshaft dungeon in the Sand Dunes desert in the northeast, just south of the PIDF Tower fast-travel point. It respawns after you defeat or catch it.

Menasting also spawns in the wild on the No.2 Wildlife Sanctuary island on the western edge of the map — you'll need a flying or swimming mount to reach it, and the sanctuary raises your wanted level. As a Dark/Ground type it takes extra damage from Dragon (which counters Dark) and Grass (which counters Ground); weaken it and apply a status effect before throwing.

Catch-rate calculator Type chart

Menasting's best uses: a party-wide Defense buff

Menasting's Steel Scorpion skill increases your Defense by 5% while it's in your party and makes Electric Pals drop 40% more items when defeated — pair it with an Electric-farming run for extra materials. The defense buff stacks with your armor to help you survive tougher fights.

At base it brings Mining 5 and Lumbering 3, so it earns its keep at the quarry when it isn't buffing your team. It drops Venom Glands and Medium Pal Souls.

Menasting's Venom Gland drops feed poison-based crafting — keep a couple in your rotation if you're farming them.

Work suitability

Menasting — frequently asked questions

How do you get Menasting in Palworld?

Beat and catch the fixed Alpha Menasting, a level ~44 boss inside the Dessicated Mineshaft dungeon in the Sand Dunes desert, south of the PIDF Tower. It also spawns wild on the No.2 Wildlife Sanctuary island. Lower its HP and apply a status effect before throwing.

What is Menasting weak to?

Menasting is a Dark/Ground-type Pal, so it takes extra damage from Dragon attacks (which counter Dark) and Grass attacks (which counter Ground). Bring Dragon or Grass Pals and moves.

Is Menasting good in Palworld?

Yes as a support Pal — its partner skill gives your whole party +5% Defense and makes Electric Pals drop 40% more loot, and it mines at level 5 at base. It isn't a mount, so it's a team-buffer and base worker rather than a carry.
