To reach Palworld’s Sky Islands, head to Sunreach either by flying a strong mount up to one of the lower islands, or the easier intended way — beat Bjorn and Bastigor at Feybreak Tower and take the portal it unlocks straight up to Sunreach.
The “Sky Islands” everyone is asking about are Sunreach, the cluster of floating islands added in Palworld’s 1.0 update and parked at the southeast of the map. It’s an endgame region held up by Paldium, with its own Pals, tower bosses, and the exclusive Soralite ore. There are two clean ways in, and which one you pick mostly depends on whether you already have a capable flying mount.
Where Sunreach sits and the two ways in
| Method | How it works |
|---|---|
| Flying-mount shortcut | Fly a strong mount straight up to a low Sunreach island near -495, 1374. Fastest option, but works best on the lowest islands. |
| Feybreak Tower route | Defeat Bjorn and Bastigor at the tower in the southwest, then use the portal it unlocks to warp directly into Sunreach. |
Sunreach floats over the southeast corner of the map, while the entry you’ll usually want — Feybreak Tower — sits far to the southwest. The flying route is faster if your mount can handle the climb, but the tower route is the reliable one and doesn’t care how strong your Pal’s stamina is.

How to reach Sunreach’s Sky Islands in Palworld
You can take the quick flying route to a lower island or the more reliable Feybreak Tower portal — here’s both, in the order the game gives them.
STEP 1/7
Find the lower islands on your map
The floating islands sit at the southeast of the map, with a low one just near -495, 1374.
STEP 2/7
Line up on a low island and fly straight up
Move a little east of that point and send a strong flying mount directly upward toward the lowest island.
STEP 3/7
Slot a stamina-boosting passive if the climb stalls
A trait like Eternal Engine keeps a mount’s stamina from running out mid-ascent, so a Pal that fell short can make it.
STEP 4/7
Head to Feybreak Tower for the intended route
It stands in the southwest at roughly -1294, -1669, inside a frigid zone that needs cold-resistant gear.
STEP 5/7
Defeat Bjorn and Bastigor
Clear the Feybreak Tower boss duo to trigger the unlock.
STEP 6/7
Interact with the portal at the top of the tower
It opens once the duo falls; some players instead find an altar just southwest of the tower that does the same warp.
STEP 7/7
Warp up to Sunreach
The portal drops you straight onto the Sky Islands.
For the fastest way up, aim your mount at the lowest island just east of -495, 1374 and slot a stamina passive like Eternal Engine so the climb never stalls.

Gear and Pals to bring first
Feybreak is a cold region, so pack cold-resistant armor and accessories before you go anywhere near the tower — the chill will chew through your health during the fight otherwise. Bring a strong combat team too, since Bjorn and Bastigor hit hard as a pair; most players are comfortable at around level 58 or higher before attempting the tower.
If you’re skipping the tower and taking the flying shortcut instead, the main thing you need is a capable flying mount and, ideally, a stamina-boosting passive to keep it in the air. Flight reliably reaches the lowest islands, though a few of the higher ones may resist it depending on your version, so keep the tower route in your back pocket as the sure thing.
Getting around inside Sunreach
| Travel tool | Use |
|---|---|
| Flying mount | Move freely between islands whenever you have one out. |
| Altars | Set teleports for orderly island-to-island travel when you don’t have a mount. |
| Purple orbs | Touch one to teleport to a random island — quick, but not something to rely on for precise trips. |
Sunreach isn’t one island — it’s several floating chunks separated by open sky, so you’ll be teleporting a lot unless you keep a mount handy. The three tools below cover every situation, and knowing which is which saves you from risky manual jumps between platforms.
What Sunreach opens up next
KEY!Once you’re up top, the real objective is the tower at the center of Sunreach, guarded by the level 68 boss duo Auri and Shaolong. A massive whirlwind barrier keeps you out of it at first, and the only way to drop that vortex is to find and disable the six Defense Modules scattered across the islands. That’s a proper endgame push in its own right, so treat this as the doorway — reaching Sunreach is step one, and the tower fight is the payoff you build toward afterward.
Mistakes that keep players out of Sunreach
The most common trip-up is confusing the two bosses: Bjorn and Bastigor at Feybreak are the ones who unlock access, while Auri and Shaolong are the level 68 fight waiting inside Sunreach — beating the second does nothing for entry. Plenty of players also assume a fast mount alone gets them everywhere and end up bouncing off invisible barriers on islands that flight won’t reach, so don’t count on pure flying for the whole region.
Two more worth avoiding: leaning on the purple orbs for a specific destination (they drop you somewhere random every time), and walking into Feybreak under-leveled or without cold gear, which turns the tower duo into a much harder fight than it needs to be.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Sky Islands and Sunreach the same place?
Yes. “Sky Islands” is just the common name for Sunreach, the floating-island region added in Palworld’s 1.0 update, sitting at the southeast of the map.
Do you need to beat Bjorn and Bastigor to reach Sunreach?
For the intended portal route, yes — clearing the Feybreak Tower duo is what unlocks the warp. You can still reach some lower islands by flying, but the boss kill is the reliable way in.
Can you fly directly to Sunreach without using the portal?
You can reach the lowest islands by flying a strong mount straight up near -495, 1374. Higher islands may not accept flight in every version, so the tower portal remains the dependable option.
Where is Feybreak Tower?
It’s in the southwest of the map at roughly -1294, -1669, inside a cold zone that requires cold-resistant armor and accessories.
What do purple orbs do in Sunreach?
Touching a floating purple orb teleports you to a random island. They’re handy for quick hops but useless if you need to land somewhere specific.

Who is the boss inside Sunreach?
The central tower boss is Auri and Shaolong, a level 68 duo shielded by a whirlwind. You have to disable six Defense Modules across the islands to drop the barrier before you can fight them.
