In most cases, when you stumble across an enemy in Palworld, it won’t take too much planning to actually engage them in a battle. However, in somewhat rarer scenarios, you may come across an enemy that’s actually on (or in!) the water! But how can you actually attack these foes? Well, if the thought of simply leaving them be doesn’t fill you with joy, we’ve outlined everything you’ll need to know about attacking enemies on the water in Palworld - so your murderous escapades don’t have to be limited only to the lands!

What Enemies are Found on the Water in Palworld?

There are many different enemies in Palworld that are found on the water, and these are almost always Wild Pals. Given this thought, if you’re looking to capture a broad range of Pals in your game, it’s important to consider first how to attack when they’re separated from you by water.

How to Attack Enemies on Water in Palworld Attacking enemies on water in Palworld is actually surprisingly easy - often far simpler than many people would realize, even. To this end, there are actually three ways you can attack enemies on the water in Palworld, and your choice of method really depends on personal preferences.

1 Start by Using Ranged Weapons

The biggest problem with enemies that are on the water in Palworld is that they’re a good distance away from you, and you can’t simply wade through the water to get closer to them. Given this, it’s often a good idea to start your efforts by implementing ranged weapons into your strategy. Indeed, there are plenty of excellent ranged weapons that could all do a good job in attacking from a distance, from bows and guns to grenades and rocket launchers! As such, ranged weapons offer plenty of ways to deliver damage from a safe distance - and make it easier to take out far away water-based Pals. Plus, for this method, you don’t need to be in the water, or even all that close by necessarily—just find a nearby shoreline to fire on your target.

2 Bring Pals with Ranged Moves

Did you know that some Pals come armed with ranged attacks that work just as well above ground as over water? Given this thought, these Pals could just be your perfect travel companions if you’re expecting to battle a Pal or enemy across the water. Just make sure you’re within range of your chosen Pal’s ability, otherwise, this tip will fall rather flat. While using your Pals’ ranged attacks is probably the most common way to put them to use for over-water attacks, there is actually a second option here that’s also worth keeping in mind. Aside from your Pals’ attacks, certain Partner Skills can actually be used to produce joint attacks between you and your Pals. This can potentially result in an alternative form of ranged attack if you don’t have a ranged skill or ranged weapon to use.

3 Get up Close with a Flying Mount

If attacking from afar isn’t your style, there’s some good news; you can get closer to your target water-based enemy using a Flying Mount, then gliding just above the water’s edge. Once you’ve gotten close enough to your foe, you can then simply attack them directly from above, be it with a melee strike or using a ranged attack. Of course, this method can somewhat feel a little unfair, given your foe likely had little chance to escape before you turned up. Still, it’s a great way to get close to enemies if you prefer fighting up close and personal.

With that being said, there is one notable drawback to the “Fly Up To Them” approach: flying consumes stamina, and if it runs out mid-air, you’ll fall into the waters below. As such, if you go for this method, you’ll undoubtedly be setting a timer for you to cross the water, find your opponent, defeat them, and get back to dry land. Choosing a high stamina flying type such as Jetragon, Astegon, or Frostallion is essential as a result of this, allowing you to fly for a little longer.

Fortunately, while your Pal’s stamina might run out in mid-flight, with a premium private Palworld dedicated server, you know your server will continue to run at full efficiency for as long as possible. Forget about your game crashing mid flight; with a private server, you’ll enjoy 24/7 uptime for a far more reliable water-enemy-hunting experience.

FAQs Q1. How can I attack an enemy on the water in Palworld? An enemy on the water in Palworld can be attacked in one of three ways: by using a ranged weapon, with a ranged Pal attack, or by flying up to them on a Flying type Pal for close-up attacks. Final Thoughts Enemies on the water can sometimes feel a little frustrating in Palworld as they’re not the easiest to get to - especially if you’ve never attacked on the water before! Still, it’s not actually too difficult; and so, knowing how to attack enemies on the water in Palworld can help a great deal. Hopefully, this will allow you to capture any additional water-based Pals that you’ve been wanting to catch, too!
