Wildlife Sanctuaries are one of the best places to get good Pals. However, entering a sanctuary means that players run the risk of increasing their Wanted Status. If you have ever dealt with the PIDF, you know the pain they can cause, as they will not leave you alone. To poach Pals in Palworld, you will have to be discreet and not get caught. Although it is a risk, it is definitely worth it.

Wildlife Sanctuaries have some helpful Pals, and players can even find smaller versions of bosses if they're lucky. Players should be aware that entering a wildlife sanctuary itself will reveal the Criminal Activity Underway prompt. However, if you're willing to take the risk and poach the Pals from Sanctuaries, here's what to do.

There are three Wildlife Sanctuaries on Palpagos Island, and players will likely head to Wildlife Sanctuary 1, which is located on a small island in the southern part of Palpagos Island. Ready your flying mounts and head to the Wildlife Sanctuary. Once you reach and receive the Criminal Activity Underway prompt, you can use your Pal Spheres to capture the one you want. Beware of the prying eyes of the guards, however. If you are spotted, you will be given a Wanted Status and they will track you to the end of Palpagos Island.

Catching Pals isn’t the biggest difficulty players will have to worry about. The hardest part is leaving and reaching the nearby Fast Travel points without getting caught. It’s incredibly difficult because you have to focus on poaching and not getting caught. However, it’s worth it for the type of Pals you can catch. There’s another Wildlife Sanctuary in the northeast where players can poach Pals in Palworld.
