How to Get Solenne in Palworld – Location, Breeding & Best Uses

Solenne in Palworld is one of the most valuable new Pals added in the 1.0 update. It is a Dark and Neutral dual-type Pal with the highest base Handiwork level in the game at Level 8 — and a partner skill that boosts your attack by 30% when you run a diverse team. Getting one requires reaching a tough endgame region, but you can also breed it before you get there. This guide covers everything: exact location, how to unlock access, breeding combos, stats, skills, and why Solenne deserves a slot in your base and party.

TL;DR

• Solenne is Paldeck #182 — a Dark/Neutral Pal added in Palworld 1.0.
• It spawns as a wild Pal in the World Tree region near the Lacrimal Shaw fast travel point at around coordinates (119, 231). It does not spawn in the main Palpagos Island map.
• Wild Solenne spawns at Level 76–78 — both day and night.
• To reach it, you must unlock the World Tree by completing the Panthalus questline.
• It can also be hatched from a Large Dark Egg or bred using combos like Dupin + Panthalus, Dupin + Shaolong, or Dandilord + Faleris.
• Solenne has Handiwork Level 8 — the highest in the game — plus Gathering Level 4 and Transporting Level 2.
• Its partner skill Untainted Maiden increases your Attack by 30–80% as long as every Pal in your party is a different species.
• Bring Dragon-type Pals to counter it — Dragon attacks are super-effective against its Dark typing.

What Is Solenne in Palworld?

Solenne is Paldeck entry #182. It is a new Pal introduced in Palworld’s 1.0 full release on July 10, 2026, making it one of 73 Pals added in that massive update. Its element typing is Dark and Neutral, a rare combination that gives it wide offensive coverage.

Its in-game description reads: “Joy and misery come in equal measure for Solenne. Those who choose to take care of one must be prepared for what that entails.”

Solenne has a distinctive black-and-white humanoid design that stands out among the Pals in the World Tree. It is valuable for two reasons that complement each other perfectly: Handiwork Level 8 makes it the fastest crafter at any base, and its Untainted Maiden partner skill makes it a consistent attack booster for any player running a varied party. It is not a rideable mount, but it more than earns its spot in your team or base in other ways.

Where to Find Solenne in Palworld

Unlike some 1.0 Pals that only appear as fixed Alpha bosses, Solenne spawns as a regular wild Pal — which means you can catch multiple and look for one with the best IVs and Passive Skills.

• Region: The World Tree (endgame area added in Palworld 1.0)
• Exact area: Near the Lacrimal Shaw fast travel point, at approximately (119, 231)
• More specifically: Solenne tends to wander through the low, sunken area to the west of the golden plateau in the World Tree
• Level range: 74–78
• Spawn time: Both day and night — no need to wait for a specific time

Solenne has multiple spawn points spread across the western section of the World Tree map. Once you are in the region, look for the marked Pal areas near Lacrimal Shaw and head west toward the sunken valley. The path is fairly straightforward once you are inside the World Tree.

How to Unlock the World Tree to Find Solenne

The World Tree is locked behind an endgame barrier. You cannot enter without completing a specific quest chain. Here is what you need to do:

Step 1 – Defeat All 9 Tower Bosses

You must clear every Tower Boss across Palpagos, Feybreak, and Sunreach. There are 9 total in Palworld 1.0. Each one drops a Key Sphere needed for the final boss encounter inside the World Tree. Clearing these also pushes you to the right level and gear tier for the Panthalus fight that comes next.

Step 2 – Complete the Panthalus Questline

After all Tower Bosses are down, speak to the Ancient Civilization Researcher at the Deserted Islet (-173, 33). This starts the Panthalus main quest. You need to:

• Collect four Echobones from giant whale remains marked on your map
• Craft the Echoing Flute from the four bones
• Use the flute to summon and fight Panthalus — a massive whale Pal with enormous HP and wide AoE water attacks
• Capture Panthalus — you must catch it, not kill it
• Speak to the researcher to receive the quest “To The World Tree”

Step 3 – Disable the Barrier at the World Tree

With Panthalus in your party, head to the World Tree at approximately (-835, 711). Find the terminal at the base of the barrier and interact with it. A cutscene plays and the barrier drops permanently. The full World Tree map is now open.

For a full step-by-step breakdown of reaching this area, see our guide on how to unlock the World Tree in Palworld.

How to Catch Solenne

Once you are inside the World Tree and have located Solenne, here is how to catch it efficiently:

• Bring Dragon-type Pals. Solenne is Dark/Neutral and weak to Dragon-type attacks. Dragon Pals like Jetragon, Jormuntide, Astegon, or Shaolong deal super-effective damage and will bring its HP down fast.
• Dark-type Pals also work. Dark attacks are effective against Solenne’s Neutral side, making Dark attackers like Eidrolon another solid option.
• Lower HP carefully. Wild Solenne at Level 76–78 has significant bulk. Aim to get it into the low HP zone without accidentally knocking it out. Avoid high-burst finishing moves once it is near the capture window.
• Use high-tier Pal Spheres. At this level, Hyper Spheres, Ultra Spheres, Legendary Spheres, or Ancient Pal Spheres all give reasonable catch rates. Do not attempt with lower tiers — the catch rate will be extremely poor.
• Catch multiple. Since Solenne spawns as a wild Pal rather than a fixed Alpha boss, you can run the area multiple times and catch several to find one with better IVs and Passive Skills for breeding later.

How to Breed Solenne in Palworld

If you want Solenne before reaching the World Tree — or want to stack it with specific Passive Skills — breeding is the way to go. Solenne has a breeding rank of 280, which puts it in the harder-to-breed tier. There are 63 confirmed parent combinations that produce it. Here are the most accessible ones:

• Dupin + Shaolong – One of the most confirmed and reliable combos. Shaolong is a 1.0 Pal that is findable in the World Tree region as a regular wild spawn, making this a good mid-endgame option.
• Dupin + Panthalus – Practical if you have already caught Panthalus to unlock the World Tree. No additional rare Pals needed.
• Dandilord + Faleris – Another confirmed working combination using more accessible endgame Pals.
• Flaracle + Jormuntide Ignis – A strong option for players with access to these powerful late-game Pals.
• Astegon + Jetragon – Widely reported combination using two legendary-tier Pals.
• Anubis + Jetragon – Another solid endgame option if you have both on hand.
• Univolt Cryst + Panthalus – Currently the most common parent pairing based on breeding data.
• Solenne + Solenne – Once you have one Solenne, breeding two together always produces another Solenne. This is the best route for stacking Passive Skills on future copies.

Solenne can also hatch from a Large Dark Egg. These eggs can be found scattered across dark-biome areas and the World Tree map. Place any Large Dark Egg you find in an Egg Incubator and it has a chance to hatch into Solenne.

Solenne Partner Skill – Untainted Maiden

Solenne’s partner skill is called Untainted Maiden. It activates automatically when Solenne is in your party — no Pal Gear required.

Effect: While Solenne is in your party, your Attack increases by 30% to 80% as long as every Pal in your party is a different species. The effect does not stack — bringing two Solenne to a fight gives no additional bonus.

This is one of the most impactful passive boosts in the game. A 30% base Attack increase applies directly to your character’s damage output, not just Solenne’s. And since running a diverse party with different Pal species is already standard practice for most players, meeting the condition is almost free. As you upgrade your Solenne through breeding and condensing, that bonus climbs all the way to 80% — a massive increase for late-game combat builds.

The Untainted Maiden skill actively rewards players who follow the 1.0 update’s theme of team diversity. Stack it with strong active skills and you have a Pal that buffs your entire combat rotation just by existing in the party.

Solenne Work Suitability – Best Handiwork Pal in the Game

Solenne’s base work suitabilities are:

• Handiwork – Level 8 (highest in the game)
• Gathering – Level 4
• Transporting – Level 2

No Pal in Palworld 1.0 has a higher base Handiwork level than Solenne. Handiwork governs crafting speed at production benches, manufacturing stations, and workbenches. A Level 8 Handiwork Pal works at an exponentially faster rate than lower levels — each tier is roughly two to three times faster than the previous one, so Level 8 is dramatically quicker than even Level 5 or 6.

A Solenne working at your crafting bench will produce items at a pace that makes everything below it feel slow. This makes it essential for any base that produces large quantities of Plasteel, ammo, saddles, or any other high-volume crafted goods.

Pair it with Renjishi — which has Kindling Level 8 — and you cover both Handiwork and Kindling at the highest levels simultaneously. These two together make an elite production pair for any endgame base.

Solenne Active Skills and Moves

Solenne runs primarily Dark-type attacks with two Neutral moves for off-type coverage. Here is its full moveset:

• Dark Shot (Lv. 1) – Fires a dark energy projectile that accelerates over time. Power: 40.
• Dark Cannon (Lv. 7) – Hurls a ball of dark energy at an enemy. Power: 70.
• Air Blade (Lv. 15) – Sends out sharp blades of air in a fan shape. Neutral-type coverage. Power: 160.
• Nightmare Ball (Lv. 22) – Creates a giant ball of darkness and hurls it at an enemy. Power: 300.
• Dark Laser (Lv. 30) – Charges dark energy and blasts enemies with a powerful beam. Power: 450.
• Black Quilled Ballet (Lv. 40) – Solenne’s exclusive skill. Jumps diagonally and throws sharp black feathers at enemies. Power: 500.
• Dark Whisp (Lv. 50) – Fires a tracking ball of dark energy that pursues enemies. Reliable against fast-moving targets. Power: 600.
• Holy Burst (Lv. 70) – Solenne’s highest-damage move. Creates a wide explosion of light at and around the target’s location. Power: 700. This Neutral-type move gives Solenne unexpected coverage for a primarily Dark-type Pal.

Solenne’s moveset gives it strong options at every range and cooldown window. Dark Whisp is particularly useful in drawn-out fights since it tracks moving targets. Holy Burst at Level 70 is essentially a nuke with wide area coverage — the Neutral typing makes it useful against a broad range of enemy types. The combination of high-damage skills at multiple ranges is part of why Solenne ranks near the top of endgame offensive builds.

Solenne Item Drops

When you defeat or catch a regular Solenne, it drops:

• Dark Fragment (100%)
• High-Quality Recovery Meds (100%)

Higher-level Solenne encounters — including Alpha and Boss variants — can additionally drop:

• World Tree Holy Water
• Neutral Radiant Gem
• Ancient Relic materials (various grades)

Solenne is far more valuable as a captured Pal than as a loot source. Dark Fragments and recovery meds can be found through other means, but Handiwork Level 8 and the Untainted Maiden buff cannot be replicated by any other Pal in the game. Always prioritize catching over farming drops here.

Tips for Getting and Using Solenne

• Breed early with Dupin + Panthalus. If you have Panthalus from the World Tree unlock quest, you can start breeding Solenne right away. This gives you a head start on stacking Passive Skills before you even catch one in the wild.
• Catch multiple in the World Tree. Since Solenne is a wild spawn rather than a fixed Alpha, you can run the Lacrimal Shaw area multiple times and catch several. Compare IVs and Passive Skills, then breed the best ones together using Solenne + Solenne to lock in strong stats.
• Keep your party diverse for the full Untainted Maiden effect. The 30% Attack buff only applies when every Pal in the party is a different species. Plan your team around this — never run two copies of the same Pal if Solenne is in the slot.
• Use Solenne at your crafting bench, not your furnace. Its Handiwork Level 8 is wasted on tasks that require Kindling. Assign it to crafting benches and production stations. Pair it with a high-Kindling Pal like Renjishi for Lv. 8 Kindling to cover both main production roles at the top level.
• Upgrade Solenne through condensing for the full 80% buff. The Untainted Maiden bonus scales from 30% to 80% as Solenne is condensed. This takes multiple copies, so catching several in the World Tree and using the Solenne + Solenne breeding loop is the most efficient path to a maxed-out copy.
• Bring the right counters. When catching Solenne in the World Tree, use Jetragon, Jormuntide, Astegon, or Shaolong for Dragon-type super-effective damage. These are the fastest ways to bring Solenne to a safe catch HP without risking an accidental kill.
