How to Get Dupin in Palworld

Dupin in Palworld is one of the new Fire-type Pals added in the 1.0 update. It looks like a trickster magician rabbit, and its combat Partner Skill lives up to that image — it triggers a Fire explosion around you when your health drops low and boosts your Attack by 30% while you stay in that danger zone.

What Is Dupin in Palworld

Dupin is a Fire-type Pal introduced in the Palworld 1.0 update, sitting at Paldeck entry number 176. Its lore says it can create a copy of itself so convincing that even the original Dupin cannot tell which one is real. In gameplay, that illusion theme shows up in its exclusive level 70 move, Trickster Show, which summons two decoys before launching fire birds from its top hat.

Despite being a trickster by nature, Dupin is a genuinely strong pick for both base work and combat. Its Kindling Level 7 makes it one of the best Pals you can assign to furnaces and cooking stations, and its Partner Skill turns you into a dangerous attacker the moment a fight starts going badly. Dupin cannot be ridden, but it more than makes up for that in other ways. For a broader look at the strongest combat picks, check out our guide on the best Pals for combat in Palworld.

Dupin Location in Palworld

Dupin has two main zones where it spawns in the wild.

World Tree Region (Levels 72–74)

The main and most reliable place to find Dupin is the World Tree region, which is an endgame area you unlock after beating and capturing a Panthalus. You can usually access the World Tree around level 70, though with strong gear and good Pals you may be able to push in earlier. Once inside, head west until you find the Whimsical Wisteria Grove waypoint, then explore the deep crimson-colored areas of the map around it. Dupin spawns here at levels 72 to 74, both during the day and at night, across around 63 spawn points in the region. The World Tree is packed with hostile Pals, so bring your best gear before heading in. Check our guide on how to unlock the World Tree in Palworld if you need help getting there.

Main Island Spawns (Level 55)

Dupin also has roughly 20 spawn points scattered across the main island at around level 55. These are more accessible if you are not yet at endgame level. Key locations to check include:

• Mount Obsidian
• No. 3 Wildlife Sanctuary
• Isle of the Circular Ruins

Note that Dupin’s spawn pattern on the main island is inconsistent and scattered, so plan to explore these zones rather than expecting a fixed nest. Some players have reported it behaves similarly to Lucky Pals — keep an eye out for its distinctive sounds while exploring.

How to Catch Dupin in Palworld

Dupin is a Fire-type Pal, which means Water-type Pals are your best bet for weakening it. Bring Jormuntide, Azurobe, or Surfent for a clear type advantage. Do not bring Ice or Leaf-type Pals — Dupin’s Fire typing hits both of those hard.

Weaken Dupin until its health is low, then throw a Pal Sphere to attempt capture. At the higher World Tree levels (72–74), you will want Ancient Spheres or better for a reasonable catch rate. If you are hunting it at level 55 on the main island, high-grade spheres still help. See our guide on best start guide for Palworld 1.0 if you need to get your equipment up to speed first.

How to Hatch Dupin from an Egg

Dupin can hatch from a Large Scorching Egg. These eggs can be found as interactable objects scattered across the islands, or produced through breeding. Once you have one, place it in your Egg Incubator and wait for it to hatch. Adjust the temperature settings on your incubator to match the egg type and speed up the process. Since Dupin is in the standard hatch pool for Large Scorching Eggs, hatching is a reliable alternative to hunting it in the wild.

How to Breed Dupin in Palworld

Breeding is the most controlled way to get a Dupin with good stats and passive skills. You need a Breeding Farm, a Cake in the food box, and a male and female parent from one of the valid pairs. The easiest combo to go for early is Sootseer + Dandilord, since both of those Pals are obtainable without needing endgame progression. If you already have a Dupin, breeding two Dupins together always produces another Dupin, which is the cleanest route for refining IVs and passives.

Here are some confirmed breeding combinations that produce Dupin:

• Sootseer + Dandilord (most accessible early combo)
• Grizzbolt + Panthalus
• Venusa + Jetragon
• Sekhmet + Neptilius
• Shadowbeak + Astegon
• Mycora + Solenne
• Tetroise + Lyleen
• Wumpo + Knocklem Ignis
• Anubis + Silvegis
• Frostallion + Loomen
• Neptilius + Sekhmet
• Renjishi + Moldron

Dupin Partner Skill: Trick-Loving Fluffle

Dupin’s Partner Skill activates automatically when Dupin is in your party and your health drops below 50%. Two things happen at once:

• Fire Explosion: Dupin triggers an explosion around you dealing Fire damage with a Burn buildup of 777. The explosion scales off 100 Power and hits everything nearby.
• Attack Boost: While your health stays below 50%, your Attack stat increases by 30%.

This is a high-risk, high-reward setup. If you are comfortable playing at low health in tough fights, the 30% Attack boost makes you hit noticeably harder for the rest of the encounter. The explosion part is situational, but the Attack buff is always active as long as you are below that health threshold. This does not stack with multiple Dupins in the party, so one is enough. Pair it with strong defensive accessories like the Silvegis Emblem in Palworld to boost your survivability while you operate at low HP, or grab the Dogen Emblem in Palworld to stack even more damage on top of Dupin’s Attack boost.

Dupin Work Suitability

Dupin is a surprisingly strong base worker for a late-game Pal. Its work suitabilities are:

• Kindling Level 7 — top priority; one of the highest Kindling values in the game, perfect for furnaces, smelters, and cooking stations.
• Handiwork Level 5 — strong crafter for production benches.
• Medicine Production Level 4 — useful for medical supply crafting.
• Transporting Level 2 — basic transport support.

Kindling Level 7 is what makes Dupin special at base. Assign it to your furnaces and it will smelt materials faster than almost any other Pal in the game. For a full overview of the best Pals to have at your base, see our guide on best Pals for farming in Palworld. Also check our guide on how to assign Pals to work in Palworld to make sure Dupin is slotted correctly once you bring one back to base.

Dupin Active Skills

Dupin’s entire moveset is Fire-focused and builds strong Burn buildup across every level. Its kit scales well as it levels up, and its exclusive move Trickster Show at level 70 is the highlight — it summons two illusions to distract enemies before launching fire birds from its top hat, dealing 700 Power with Burn buildup. Here is the full skill list:

• Spirit Fire — Fire, 80 Power, Burn. Shoots fireballs that explode and scatter into smaller ones.
• Ignis Breath — Fire, 160 Power, Burn. Continuous flame damage against a single target.
• Flame Wall — Fire, 250 Power, Burn. Places a wall of flames that lingers and damages enemies on contact.
• Flame Funnel — Fire, 300 Power, Burn. Launches countless fireballs from fiery energy spheres.
• Volcanic Rain — Fire, 450 Power, Burn. Rains volcanic bombs across a wide area.
• Ignis Rage — Fire, 500 Power, Burn. Infuses the ground with energy, causing a delayed explosion.
• Fire Ball — Fire, 600 Power, Burn. Hurls a giant fireball that explodes over a wide area on impact.
• Trickster Show (Exclusive, Level 70) — Fire, 700 Power, Burn. Summons two illusions to confuse enemies, then launches fire birds from Dupin’s top hat.

Trickster Show is extremely effective against Grass, Ice, and Neutral targets. Use it as your opener to deal massive upfront damage and get Burn stacking fast. If you want to build more skill variety into your lineup, see our guide on how to get Skill Fruits in Palworld.

Dupin Item Drops

When you defeat or capture a Dupin in the wild, it can drop the following items:

• Leather (100% drop rate)
• Flame Organ (100% drop rate)
• World Tree Holy Water (50% drop rate)

The World Tree Holy Water is a valuable endgame material that only drops from Pals in the World Tree region, so farming Dupin there is a good way to stock up on it alongside capturing spare copies for condensing.
