Nitewing guide
Nitewing is a Neutral-type hawk and one of the first reliable flying mounts you can get in Palworld. It's an easy early catch with strong stamina, so it stays a go-to travel mount long after you tame it.
Where to find Nitewing
Nitewing spawns airborne over several early islands during the day, ranging from about Lv 12 to Lv 40, so it's one of the earliest flyers you can grab. There's also a low-level field Alpha Nitewing near the southern coast of the ice islands if you want a guaranteed fight.
It's Neutral type, so Dark attacks are super-effective. Because it flies, shoot it down or use a ranged Pal to bring it into throwing range.
Best use: an early flying mount
Nitewing's Travel Companion partner skill lets you ride it as a flying mount, unlocking early air travel across the map — a huge quality-of-life upgrade before the faster endgame flyers are available.
It's a light base contributor (Gathering 2), so keep it as a dedicated mount rather than a worker.
Catch a Nitewing as soon as you can craft its saddle — early flight trivializes map traversal and cliff loot long before you can breed something faster.
Nitewing — frequently asked questions
How do you get Nitewing in Palworld?
Catch it in the air over the early islands during the day, where it spawns from about Lv 12 to Lv 40, or beat the low-level Alpha Nitewing on the southern ice-island coast. Dark attacks weaken it fastest.
What is Nitewing weak to?
Nitewing is a Neutral-type Pal, so Dark attacks deal super-effective damage. Bring Dark Pals and Dark-element moves.
Is Nitewing a good mount in Palworld?
Yes, as an early flying mount. Its Travel Companion partner skill lets you fly, and it's an easy low-level catch, so it's one of the best first flyers before faster endgame mounts become available.
