Palworld 1.0 Sunreach Guide

Official-source Palworld 1.0 Sunreach guide covering the floating islands, confirmed content, Soralite, towers, new Pals, and details that still need verification.

Last Updated: July 10, 2026 7 min read

Short answer

Sunreach is a new group of floating islands above Palpagos with its own long-established civilization, new Pals, tower bosses, settlements, and Soralite resources that require specialized mining equipment.

Practical advice for new and returning players

  • Treat the official changelog as confirmation of Sunreach's features, not as a complete route or progression guide.
  • Bring flexible equipment and inventory space until the area's resource and combat demands are understood.
  • Do not rely on launch-day claims about the best access route, tower order, spawn map, or farming loop. Needs in-game verification.

What is Sunreach?

Sunreach is a new airborne region made up of islands floating above Palpagos through the power of Paldium. Pocketpair describes it as an environment unlike the surface, with a distinct civilization that developed there over a long period.

It is one of Version 1.0's major destinations and supports new exploration, story, combat, Pal, resource, crafting, and building content.

Confirmed Sunreach content

  • New Pals and tower bosses.
  • A Sunreach settlement with NPCs and sub-missions.
  • Soralite deposits that require specialized mining equipment.
  • New expedition and high-difficulty fishing destinations.
  • Links to new technologies, weapons, accessories, structures, and progression systems.

Soralite and new progression

Soralite is an ore found only in Sunreach according to the official changelog. Soralite Ingots are used in new equipment, while the resource also supports additional crafting and building progression.

The Plasma Multicutter is confirmed as a new gathering tool, and Pocketpair says Sunreach ores require specialized equipment. The fastest tool progression and most efficient deposit route need in-game verification.

How Sunreach connects to Version 1.0

Sunreach is part of the reworked story path leading toward the World Tree. It also participates in the broader Version 1.0 progression changes, including a level cap of 80, new technologies, revised missions, new Pals, and rebalanced rewards.

The official notes confirm the content relationships but do not publish a mandatory route through every tower, settlement, or resource node.

What to prepare

  • Review the reworked main mission and map markers before choosing a route.
  • Carry equipment that supports exploration, combat, and resource gathering rather than a single specialized build.
  • Leave inventory space for unfamiliar ores, schematics, and rewards.
  • Use a backed-up save if exploring from a long-running Early Access world.
  • Treat exact preparation, difficulty, and route advice as provisional. Needs in-game verification.

What still needs in-game verification

  • The exact access path and any progression gates.
  • Recommended player level and equipment tier.
  • Tower order, boss strategies, and travel time.
  • Exact Pal spawn locations and capture routes.
  • Soralite density, respawn behavior, and efficient farming loops.

Source note
