How to Catch Sootseer in Palworld: Spawn Locations, Breeding Pairs, and Stats

Sootseer arrived with the Sakurajima Update and quickly became the Pal of choice for anyone running low on Bone. If you want to add this Fire/Dark Pal to your roster, here is everything worth knowing about spawns, breeding, combat, and stats.

Where Sootseer Spawns

The reliable spot is the Sakurajima graveyard at night. Visit during the day and you will find an empty cemetery, which tracks. Sootseer also shows up as an Alpha boss inside several Sakurajima dungeons, so keep an eye out while clearing those.

Hatching Sootseer From a Huge Dark Egg

If the wild route is not paying off, the next option is the Huge Dark Egg. These are uncommon and tend to be wedged between cracks in cliff walls, so plan a proper scouting run rather than hoping to trip over one.

A Huge Dark Egg does not guarantee Sootseer hatches from it, so be ready to roll the dice a few times. If you would rather farm eggs at home, the following pairings at the Breeding Center are known to produce Huge Dark Eggs:

• Nitewing + Univolt
• Celaray + Beakon
• Mossanda + Vanwyrm
• Dinossom + Relaxaurus
• Tombat + Quivern
• Melpaca + Grizzbolt
• Celaray + Reptyro Cryst

Beating and Capturing Sootseer

Sootseer is a Fire/Dark Pal, which means it crumples to Water and Dragon damage. Bring either type and the encounter ends quickly.

Solid offensive picks:

• Dragon: Jormuntide Ignis, Orserk, Jetragon, Quivern.
• Water: Jormuntide, Suzaku Aqua, Surfent.

Wear its HP down with a few hits before throwing a Pal Sphere to maximize the capture rate, and leave your Fire Pals at base unless you enjoy slow fights.
