1. Craft a pickaxe
There are a few ways to find Paldium. It’s often located in loot chests, for example, and can sometimes simply be found lying around on the ground (a bright blue rock). Later in the game you’ll also be able to automate the production process at your base, but if you’re searching for how to find Paldium, chances are you’re just starting out and need a simple but reliable process for regularly obtaining Paldium straight away.
The best method is to mine Paldium, and for that you’ll need the stone pickaxe. Gather enough wood and stone to build a workbench and pickaxe, then craft a stone pickaxe.
2. Locate the blue Paldium deposits (near water)
You’ll now need to locate a Paldium deposit. These are bright blue, so very easy to find — get to a high vantage point and you should be able to see Paldium deposits around you near water sources. It’s especially easy to spot them during nighttime, as their bright blue stands out in the dark.
3. Mine the Paldium deposits with the pickaxe
Now equip your pickaxe, then approach a deposit and hit the Paldium deposits with it. You will see that Paldium is being added to your inventory.
Now you know how to get Paldium, there’s nothing stopping you from catching as many Pals as you can. You may also be interested in reading about why Palworld may already be in trouble, and finding out why you should play Palworld on Steam instead of Xbox.
