This Polygon guide explains how to obtain ancient civilization parts in Palworld, a resource needed to craft key upgrades such as egg incubators, shields and sphere launchers. The guide, updated for the game's 1.0 release, is aimed at helping players progress efficiently by pointing them towards reliable early-game sources of the item.

Ancient civilization parts can be obtained by defeating or capturing Alpha Pals and lucky Pals, or by opening chests scattered across the map. Since Alpha Pals can be rematched after respawning, they offer a repeatable source, with lower-level bosses like Chillet and Penking recommended for easy early farming; other suggested targets include Gumoss, Sweepa, Arsox, Foxcicle and Kingpaca, ranging from level 11 to 23.
