How to Recruit Zoe in Palworld

In the ever-evolving world of Palworld server hosting, the recent update Tides of Terraria have made it possible for players to recruit one of the game’s most recognizable NPCs - Zoe, the leader of the Rayne Syndicate, along with her powerful companion Pal, Grizzbolt. Bringing this duo onto your team is not only a satisfying achievement but also a practical boost for your adventures and base management. Below is a detailed step-by-step guide on how to make Zoe & Grizzbolt part of your Pal roster.

Defeat Zoe at Rayne Syndicate Tower

Before you can persuade Zoe to join you, you must face her in combat as part of the main storyline. Zoe and Grizzbolt await you at the top of the Rayne Syndicate Tower in the Windswept Hills region. Prepare well, as this boss battle can be intense. Once you defeat them, Zoe disappears from the tower, this unlocks her recruitment questline.

Find Zoe at the Desolate Church

After your victory at the tower, Zoe relocates to the Desolate Church, a ruined site located just northwest of the tower’s location. There, she’s waiting for any player bold enough to approach her again. Interact with her, and you’ll trigger a series of three unique tasks you must complete to earn her loyalty.

1. Catch a Grizzbolt

Zoe’s first request is straightforward but challenging: she wants you to capture a Grizzbolt of your own. Grizzbolt is an Electric-type Pal known for its power and rarity. To find one, you’ll need to travel to Wildlife Sanctuary No. 1, which lies on an island southwest of the main map. Accessing the sanctuary typically requires a Pal that can swim or fly, since the area is isolated. Be cautious, Wildlife Sanctuaries are protected zones, and entering one can make you a wanted target for guards. Grizzbolts are rare spawns here, so come prepared with enough high-level Pal Spheres to secure the capture.

2. Defeat or Capture Five Free Pal Alliance Members

After bringing Zoe a Grizzbolt, she’ll challenge you to demonstrate your strength further by defeating or capturing five members of the Free Pal Alliance. These rebels can often be found north of the Desolate Church, especially in the area beyond the Bridge of the Twin Knights. Make sure you’re targeting the right faction, random wildlife or other NPCs won’t count toward this goal.

3. Recover Zoe’s Tattered Memento

The final step is more personal: Zoe asks you to find her Tattered Memento, a sentimental item she left behind. You’ll find it at the Fort Ruins, a landmark northeast of the Desolate Church. When the quest is active, the ruins’ location will be marked on your map. Once you retrieve the memento, return it to Zoe to complete the recruitment process.

How to Add Zoe & Grizzbolt to Your Team

After you’ve fulfilled all three tasks, Zoe will officially agree to join your team along with Grizzbolt. They appear as a special unit in your Palbox called “Zoe & Grizzbolt", occupying a single slot. In combat, Zoe rides on Grizzbolt’s back, combining their strengths for devastating electric attacks and durable defense. They can be deployed like any other Pal during exploration or battles.

Zoe & Grizzbolt Base Skills

Outside of combat, Zoe & Grizzbolt prove equally valuable. They can help power your base with Level 3 Electricity generation, making them ideal for keeping your machinery running. They also contribute to Handiwork, Lumbering, and Transporting tasks at respectable levels, which helps automate chores around your settlement and boosts productivity.

Capture Zoe as a Standalone NPC

One hidden twist, even after recruitment, Zoe remains at the Desolate Church. If you want, you can battle her again and attempt to capture her separately with a Pal Sphere. This allows you to have both the combined Zoe & Grizzbolt unit and Zoe alone, giving you more flexibility when organizing your squad.
