Palworld Ancient Civilization Parts are some of the rarest and most valuable resources in the whole game, used to build all the most special weapons and gear. However, there's no clue given about where Ancient Civilization Parts are actually found in Palworld, so all the sexier gear - like grappling guns and incubators - can be very hard to build, even if you've managed to unlock it on the tech tree. With that in mind, here's how to get Ancient Civilization Parts in Palworld as fast as possible, including the best known method for farming.

How to farm Ancient Civilization Parts in Palworld

Palworld Ancient Technology Parts

Ancient Civilization Parts can be farmed in Palworld by defeating dungeon bosses, Alpha pals and the very rare Lucky Pals over and over, though not the Rayne Syndicate Bosses found in towers - we're not entirely sure why not, but they're just the exception, apparently.

However, it's worth noting that while overworld bosses like Chillet drop Parts every time, I found that dungeon bosses aren't guaranteed to drop Ancient Civilization Parts, though it can happen. Regardless, the overworld Alphas are the most efficient way to do it.

With that in mind, because we can answer the question "Do Palworld bosses respawn?" with a resounding yes, the best way to farm Ancient Civilization Parts in Palworld is to cycle through the different Alpha Pal bosses and defeat them as often and as quickly as respawn rates will allow. Prioritise those of a lower level or against which you have a type advantage, and you'll be able to earn yourself Ancient Civilization Parts at an efficient rate, using them to build tech like the  Palworld Incubator.

Guides Editor, GamesRadar+

Joel Franey is a writer, journalist, podcaster and Very Tired Man with a BA from Brunel University, a Masters from Sussex University and a decade working in games journalism, often focused on guides coverage but also in reviews, features and news. His love of games is strongest when it comes to groundbreaking narratives like Disco Elysium, UnderTale and Baldur's Gate 3, as well as innovative or refined gameplay experiences like XCOM, Sifu, Arkham Asylum or Slay the Spire. He is a firm believer that the vast majority of games would be improved by adding a grappling hook, and if they already have one, they should probably add another just to be safe. You can find old work of his at Eurogamer, Gfinity, USgamer, SFX Magazine, RPS, Dicebreaker, VG247, and more.
