The 5 layouts
The game keeps 10 ready-made copies of this dungeon under the main map and sends you into a free one. They use 5 different layouts, so pick the picture that looks like your cave. North is up; the dark parts are solid rock. Ores, mushrooms and fishing spots start hidden: switch them on in the list.
Pick your layout Each visit uses one of these 5. Find the one that looks like your cave.

Pals & people inside
Every spawn point on the map has a type, and the type decides who appears there. Numbers are each Pal's share of its spawn list, from the game's spawn tables.

Sometimes a treasure chest is really a Mimog. It jumps out when you try to open it.
The boss
The boss waits in the last room (the red horned
on the map). It is picked from this list when the dungeon opens. Beat it and the gate behind it opens: the boss reward chest and the portal home are there.
Treasure & things to find
What each layout holds. Lotus spots only have a chance to grow a lotus each visit; chests and ore are always there.

How we drew these maps
Palworld keeps every dungeon layout in its world files, under the main map. We read the position of every rock, wall, plant, chest and spawn point from the game files, drew each layout from above with the game's own models and material colours, and cut away the roof so you can see the floor. Nothing here is copied from other sites.
