Hot Weather may reduce your health bar as rapidly as Cold Weather does, and at first, it might be a bit scary to find out how to fight off the heat. Luckily, there are some specific tools at your disposal to get through those bothersome heat waves.
What Is Hot Weather?
Hot weather is categorized by any sort of temperature measurement that pushes the thermometer at the bottom left of your screen into the hazardous orange zone.
You’ll see a warning on your screen suggesting that you are overheating in the same manner you would if you were freezing to death.
You will face scorching temperatures in locations like the Desert or where there is so much fire or lava that you can’t live without being cooled.
If you’ve ever played Ark Survival, think of all the times you perished of heat exhaustion in the midst of a mountain. The same applies to Palworld. Planning your equipment correctly might be the difference between life and death.
How To Survive Hot Weather
You need to have certain Pals, equipment, machinery, or apparel prepared if you wish to withstand Hot Weather. Unlike some other status effects in the game, you won’t be able to continue running about and simply hope for the best.
The only way to get rid of the ‘overheating’ warning is to find a technique to cool yourself down.
Clothes And Armor
There are a variety of various clothing kinds for you to build to endure the heat, and you’ll require Flame Organs to craft each one. Luckily, you’ll have access to the Tropical Outfit – the first clothing type that resists heat – early on in your quest.
Here are all of the existing clothes and armor parts you can construct to fend off the heat.

Additionally, you may find the occasional accessory in chests across the globe. Some accessories, like the Heat Resistant Underwear, may be installed in your accessory slot to shield you from the sun’s blistering rays. Some stores may even offer you Heat Resistant Underwear.
When you pick up an accessory item from a chest, it will immediately slot into the relevant portion of your inventory. You may not know when you have picked up anything helpful, therefore it’s worth it to check your previously-empty inventory slots every once in a while to see whether you’ve looted something worthwhile.
Ice Element Pals
Having an Ice Element Pal by your side is another fantastic approach to keep oneself cool. Some Pals will keep you cool merely by being near you, while some have specific Partner Skills meant to protect you from scorching in the hot desert heat.
The ideal Pal to have in your Party to protect you from melting in the heat is Reindrix.
Reindrix’s Partner Skill Cool Body bears the description, ‘Keeps the rider cool in hot settings.’ This implies that riding Reindrix or having them with you while you explore will keep you nice and cool.
Base Equipment
In your Technology menu, you may also select to discover the schematic for the Cooler.
The Cooler operates as the chilly counterpart of a bonfire. Where a bonfire keeps you warm on a freezing night, the Cooler will keep you cool on a warm day.
To create a Cooler, you need to be at least level 18, and you will require 20 Ingots, 20 Stones, and 5 Ice Organs. At level 42, you will also be able to create an Electric Cooler using 30 Refined Ingots, 10 Circuit Boards, 30 Ingots, and 10 Ice Organs.
Travel At Night
Another smart strategy to keep oneself cool is to travel at night rather than in the afternoon. In the Desert specifically, the days are more terrible than the nights. The second the sun goes down, you’ll receive relief from your sunburn.
Although, whatever much respite you may receive from the heat, you will still need to keep yourself warm at night. The Desert is a location of extremes as the temperatures dip to freezing degrees at night.
Try to maintain at least one Tropical Outfit and one Tundra Outfit or greater in your inventory while wandering the Desert. That way, you’re protected for both heat exhaustion and frostbite.
Other Things To Know
It’s also helpful to make sure you have some form of roof over your head in unpleasant circumstances. Shelter provides you with shelter from the elements and deciding to remain inside during the most harsh hours of the day might save you in the long term.
