What Is Moldron in Palworld?
Moldron is Paldeck entry #105. It was added as part of Palworld’s massive 1.0 update, which brought 73 new Pals to the game. Moldron is a Fire and Ground dual-element Pal that looks like a volcanic fungus creature with lava flowing across its back.
Its in-game description reads: “In a healthy individual, the lava on its back flows smoothly. However, a poor lifestyle will gradually worsen its circulation, eventually causing a lava clog that results in a sudden, massive explosion.”
It has an elemental variant called Moldron Cryst (Paldeck #105B), which is an Ice/Ground type. Both share the same visual design but have different element typings, stats, and locations.
Moldron Location in Palworld – Where to Find It
There are two main ways to find Moldron in the wild — as a regular overworld spawn and as a Field Alpha Boss.
Wild Spawn Location – Mount Obsidian / Volcanic Biome
Moldron spawns in the Volcanic Biome of the Palpagos Islands. Specifically, you can find it around:
- Mount Obsidian Mid-Point – This is the most reliable wild spawn area.
- Near the Scorched Obsidian Watchtower – Another consistent spot in the same volcanic region.
The volcanic area is the natural home of Moldron. You will find them wandering near lava flows and the rocky terrain surrounding the Mount Obsidian region. The area is accessible later in the game, so make sure your level is high enough before heading in.
Field Alpha Boss Location – South of Feybreak (Bicornis Islet)
If you want a guaranteed, powerful encounter, Moldron also appears as a Level 70 Field Alpha Boss. Here is how to reach it:
- Teleport to the Bicornis Islet fast travel point.
- Head south from the waypoint.
- The Alpha Moldron is located at coordinates (-1125, -1982), on a volcanic island south of Feybreak.
This is a great way to get a stronger version of Moldron early if you can handle a Level 70 fight. Bring your best combat Pals to make the fight easier.
How to Get to the Volcanic Biome
The volcanic region is in the western part of the main Palpagos Island map. If you are new to the late-game areas, check out the guide on how to progress efficiently in Palworld 1.0. You will need a good flying mount to reach some of these spots quickly. For the best options, see our guide to the best flying mounts in Palworld 1.0.
Moldron Weaknesses – Best Pals to Use Against It
Because Moldron is a Fire and Ground dual-type, it has two weaknesses you can take advantage of:
- Water-type Pals – Effective against Moldron’s Fire side.
- Grass/Leaf-type Pals – Effective against Moldron’s Ground side.
Avoid bringing Electric-type Pals, as Ground resists Electric attacks. Also keep Ice and Leaf types away from Moldron’s Fire moves. Water is generally the safest bet for catching or fighting Moldron without taking too much damage.
How to Breed Moldron in Palworld
You can also breed Moldron using a Breeding Farm. This is a great option if you want specific Passive Skills on your Moldron rather than relying on wild catches. Here are some confirmed breeding combinations that produce Moldron:
- Broncherry + Orserk – The easiest combo to aim for before deep endgame.
- Broncherry Aqua + Blazamut – A solid alternative if you already have Blazamut.
- Blazehowl + Orserk
- Relaxaurus + Blazamut
- Incineram + Panthalus
- Ragnahawk + Faleris Aqua
- Cryolinx + Pierdon Cryst
There are over 169 parent combinations that can produce Moldron in the game data. The Broncherry + Orserk route is the most practical for most players at mid-to-late game. Once you have a Moldron, you can also breed it further to get other powerful Pals — Moldron is used in combinations to produce Pals like Jormuntide as well.
To get started with breeding, make sure you understand how to assign Pals to work at your base stations. You can also check out the guide on getting Ancient Technology Points, which you will need to unlock the Breeding Farm in the tech tree.
How to Hatch Moldron From an Egg
Moldron can be hatched from a Large Scorching Egg. You can find these eggs scattered across the volcanic areas of the map. Once you pick one up, place it in an Egg Incubator and wait for it to hatch. Hatching is a good way to potentially get a Moldron with better IVs or Passive Skills.
You can also buy Moldron from the Black Marketeer for a base price of 4,920 Gold Coins. The price will vary depending on the Pal’s level.
Moldron Partner Skill – Magma Overload
Moldron’s partner skill is called Magma Overload. Here is what it does:
- Moldron can be ridden as a ground mount.
- Its Attack stat increases by 4% to 8% for each other Fire or Ground Pal in your party.
This makes Moldron extremely powerful in a team built around Fire and Ground types. If you stack your party with matching Pals, Moldron’s attack bonus grows significantly. It rewards players who build around a specific elemental theme. Check out the best starting Pals in Palworld 1.0 to plan your team composition early.
To ride Moldron, you need to craft the Moldron Saddle, which unlocks at Technology Level 36.
Moldron Active Skills and Moves
Moldron learns a mix of Fire and Ground skills as it levels up. Its two signature exclusive moves are:
- Magma Spit (Level 50) – Spits a mass of magma from its mouth. The impact creates magma pools that deal continued damage to enemies that step into them.
- Magma Laser (Level 70) – Emits a thermal beam from its mouth that scorches the ground, also leaving lasting damage pools.
It also learns its first Ground-type skill, Rockburst, at Level 22. The moveset alternates between Fire and Ground moves throughout its progression, giving it solid coverage in both element types.
If you want to optimize your Moldron further with the right passive skills, see the list of all new Passive Skills in Palworld 1.0.
Moldron Work Suitability – Is It Good for Your Base?
Yes, Moldron is one of the best base Pals in Palworld 1.0. Its work suitabilities are:
- Kindling – Level 5
- Mining – Level 5
Both skills at Level 5 make Moldron an excellent dual-purpose worker. It can handle smelting and crafting at furnaces with Kindling, and it can mine stone and ore deposits at Level 5 efficiency. Very few Pals offer this kind of dual productivity at such a high level.
Having a Moldron at your base means you cover two of the most important resource production jobs at once. This is a huge advantage, especially when you are building out advanced crafting stations. To get the most from your base layout, read our guide on how to assign Pals to work in Palworld.

Moldron Item Drops
When you defeat or catch Moldron, it drops the following items:
- Flame Organ x4–5 (100% drop rate)
- Leather x2–3 (100% drop rate)
- Fire Radiant Gem x10–20 (100% drop rate)
- Decayed Ancient Relic x30–50 (100% drop rate)
- Dormant Ancient Relic x10–20 (100% drop rate)
- Gorgeous Ancient Relic x4–8 (100% drop rate)
- Glowing Ancient Relic x2–3 (50% drop rate)
- Glistening Ancient Relic x1 (25% drop rate)
The Ancient Relic drops are particularly valuable. If you need more Ancient-type materials in general, also check out our guide on how to farm Ancient Civilization Cores and how to get Ancient Bone, Bark, and Lava.
What About Moldron Cryst?
Moldron Cryst is the Ice/Ground variant of Moldron. It is a completely separate Pal at Paldeck #105B. Unlike Moldron, Moldron Cryst does not have a regular overworld spawn. Here is how to get it:
- Alpha Boss Location – Found as a Level 78 Alpha in the World Tree area, near Within the Seal. The coordinates are approximately (-1942, 1516), just north of the tower building between Forbidden Laboratory and Within the Seal.
- Breeding – Breed Moldron + Reptyro Cryst to produce Moldron Cryst.
- Egg – Hatch it from a Huge Frozen Egg.
Moldron Cryst has Mining Lv. 5 and Cooling Lv. 5, making it equally valuable for base roles — just a different focus. Its exclusive skill creates an Ice AoE pool that slows enemies, which is considered one of the most effective Crowd Control abilities in the game.
To unlock and navigate the World Tree area, see our guide on how to unlock the World Tree in Palworld. You can also remove the Fog of War in Sunreach Island to better plan your exploration route.
Tips for Catching Moldron
- Bring Water-type Pals. They deal super-effective damage, which makes it easier to weaken Moldron without accidentally knocking it out.
- Stock up on Mega or Giga Spheres before heading to the volcanic biome. Moldron is a late-game Pal and needs higher-tier Pal Spheres to catch reliably.
- Lower its HP slowly. The lower a Pal’s HP, the easier it is to catch. Use Pals that deal moderate, consistent damage rather than burst moves.
- Use the Alpha Boss route if you want guaranteed drops and a stronger Moldron. The Bicornis Islet route is very quick once you unlock the fast travel point.
- Check the area at both day and night — Moldron spawns during both times in the volcanic region.
