In Palworld 1.0, Astegon can be found by traveling from the Isle of Silence toward the nearby Wildlife Sanctuary cave entrance at about -676, 115, while the older Destroyed Mineshaft alpha and No.3 Wildlife Sanctuary still work as established Astegon sources.
Astegon is a late-game Dark/Dragon Pal (Paldeck #98) and one of the few with level 4 Mining, which is why so many players go out of their way to catch one. In 1.0 the quickest route runs through a Wildlife Sanctuary cave reached from the Isle of Silence, but the long-standing paths — the Destroyed Mineshaft alpha, the No.3 Wildlife Sanctuary spawn, and Huge Dragon Egg hatching — are all still valid. This guide covers the new cave route first, then every other way to add Astegon to your team.
Where to find Astegon in Palworld 1.0
| Location | How to get there |
|---|---|
| Wildlife Sanctuary cave (-676, 115) | From the Isle of Silence at 544, -29, cross the water southwest and enter the sanctuary structure |
| Destroyed Mineshaft, Mount Obsidian | Alpha Astegon inside the cave near -576, -418, west of the Mount Obsidian Midpoint statue |
| No.3 Wildlife Sanctuary (far northeast) | Rare roaming spawn around 652, 623; fly or swim in from Deep Sand Dunes |
| Huge Dragon Egg | Hatch one found in the world or produced through breeding |
KEY!The fastest 1.0 answer is the cave route. Starting from the Isle of Silence at roughly 544, -29, you look west and southwest, cross the water to a nearby Wildlife Sanctuary, and head into the structure to reach the cave entrance at about -676, 115. Whether Astegon’s main encounter genuinely “moved” in 1.0 is contested — the cave route is real, but the older spots below still produce Astegon, so treat them as parallel options rather than replaced ones.
How to reach Astegon’s cave in Palworld 1.0
The cave sits just across the water from the Isle of Silence, so this is a short hop once you know which way to look.
STEP 1/6
Start at the Isle of Silence
Fast travel to the Isle of Silence and stand at roughly 544, -29 to line up the crossing.
STEP 2/6
Look west and southwest
Face west, then swing slightly southwest toward the Wildlife Sanctuary sitting across the water.
STEP 3/6
Cross the water to the sanctuary
Swim or fly straight across to the sanctuary landmass ahead of you.
STEP 4/6
Watch for the drone enemies
Guarding drones patrol the sanctuary, so clear or dodge them as you push inside.
STEP 5/6
Head inside the structure
Move into the sanctuary building rather than circling it on the surface.
STEP 6/6
Find the cave entrance
The cave opening is tucked inside at about -676, 115 — that is where Astegon is waiting.
Bring a torch or lantern and Ice or Dragon Pals before you enter — the cave is dark and Astegon is a high-level Dark/Dragon boss, so going in blind and under-typed is the main reason catches fail.

Other ways to get Astegon
| Method | What |
|---|---|
| Destroyed Mineshaft alpha | Enter the mineshaft cave near -576, -418, whittle the alpha’s HP down, then throw a high-tier sphere |
| Wild sanctuary spawn | Circle No.3 Wildlife Sanctuary until a rare Astegon appears, then engage and capture |
| Huge Dragon Egg | Place a Huge Dragon Egg in an Egg Incubator and hatch it |
| Breeding | Pair Bellanoir with Jormuntide, Reptyro, Elizabee, Mammorest, or Jormuntide Ignis at a Breeding Farm |
If you can’t reach the cave route or just want a backup, Astegon has several other acquisition paths that have been around since before 1.0. The Destroyed Mineshaft in the volcanic Mount Obsidian region holds the alpha boss inside a dark cave near -576, -418, west of the Mount Obsidian Midpoint statue. Out in the far northeast, No.3 Wildlife Sanctuary has Astegon as a rare roaming spawn near 652, 623 — the closest teleporter is Deep Sand Dunes at roughly 527, 525, and from there you fly or swim to the island. If catching one in the wild isn’t working out, you can also hatch a Huge Dragon Egg or breed for Astegon directly.
KEY!The Breeding Farm unlocks around player level 19, and any of those confirmed pairs will eventually produce a Huge Dragon Egg for the incubator. These are all alternate routes — the cave run above is still the quickest way to a single Astegon in 1.0.
Gearing up before you catch Astegon
Astegon is an end-game Pal, so don’t walk in light. Aim for character level 40 or higher, wear heat-resistant armor if you’re taking the volcanic mineshaft route, and bring strong Ice or Dragon Pals — Penking, Cryolinx, and Frostallion all pull their weight against a Dark/Dragon boss. Its alpha is listed anywhere from level 38 to 48 depending on where you read, so plan for a mid-40s fight and pack healing.
For the capture itself, a Legendary Sphere is the safe pick, though a Hyper Sphere or better can be enough once you’ve dropped Astegon’s HP low without killing it. If you want to craft Legendary Spheres ahead of time, each one needs Paldium Fragment x10, Cement x5, Pal Metal Ingot x5, and Carbon Fiber x3. In the fight, roll sideways to dodge Astegon’s multi-hit beam, grind its health down, then start throwing spheres.
Mistakes that waste time hunting Astegon
The most common slip is searching on open ground. Whether it’s the sanctuary cave or the Destroyed Mineshaft, Astegon sits inside an entrance you have to walk into — players circle the surface and never find the door. The other repeat offenders are showing up underleveled or under-typed, and throwing mid-tier spheres until it looks like Astegon “won’t catch.” It’s also easy to assume only one old location is valid; in 1.0 the cave route, the mineshaft, and the sanctuary spawn can all work.
What makes Astegon worth catching
Beyond the collection value, Astegon earns its spot through level 4 Mining — one of the best mining ranks in the game, which makes it a workhorse for ore and Pal Metal farming. Its Dark/Dragon typing also gives you a heavy hitter for late-game combat, and defeating or catching it can drop Pal Metal Ingots and Pure Quartz. For anyone building out a mining base, one Astegon changes how fast your resource lines run.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Astegon in Palworld 1.0?
The quickest 1.0 route is a Wildlife Sanctuary cave reached from the Isle of Silence at about 544, -29 — cross the water southwest and enter the structure to find the cave. Astegon also still appears at the Destroyed Mineshaft and No.3 Wildlife Sanctuary.
What are the Astegon cave entrance coordinates?
The sanctuary cave entrance sits at roughly -676, 115. The older Destroyed Mineshaft entrance is near -576, -418, with slight coordinate variants pointing at the same mineshaft wall.
Is Astegon still in the Destroyed Mineshaft?
Yes. The Destroyed Mineshaft in Mount Obsidian still holds the Astegon alpha boss inside the cave, west of the Mount Obsidian Midpoint statue, so it remains a reliable option alongside the newer cave route.
Can Astegon spawn at No.3 Wildlife Sanctuary?
It can. Astegon appears as a rare roaming spawn at No.3 Wildlife Sanctuary in the far northeast, around 652, 623. Fly or swim in from the Deep Sand Dunes teleporter and circle the island until one appears.
Can you hatch or breed Astegon?
Yes. Astegon hatches from a Huge Dragon Egg, which you can find in the world or produce at a Breeding Farm. Confirmed pairs include Bellanoir with Jormuntide, Reptyro, Elizabee, Mammorest, or Jormuntide Ignis.

What sphere should you use to catch Astegon?
A Legendary Sphere is the safest choice for a clean catch, but a Hyper Sphere or better can land it once you’ve lowered Astegon’s HP without killing it. Weaken it first, then throw.
