How to Get Helzephyr in Palworld 1.0 — Location, Fight & Breeding

By Palworld Gaming Team · Updated 13 November 2026 · Palworld 1.0

Where do you find Helzephyr in Palworld 1.0?

At night, and only at night. Helzephyr is a nocturnal Pal: it appears after dark and vanishes by morning, so plan your hunt around the clock, not the map. Game8 lists two wild spawn regions — Feybreak (northeastern and southwestern Feybreak) and the Grass Biome North (the western and center islands) — and the Palpedia wiki adds the Moonless Shore, the Verdant Brook and the Scars of War as night habitats, with the Hypocrite Hill area as a reliable early hunting ground.

Wild Helzephyr start at around level 24, with representative low-level encounters in the 24–28 band (vgkami's 1.0 map data), rising to the mid-60s in the late-game zones — so the same Pal can be an early-game trophy or a late-game catch depending on where you meet it. There is no field Alpha Helzephyr (Palpedia wiki), so there is no guaranteed high-level boss version to farm: every wild one is a regular spawn. It is big, black and blue, and hovers high over the ground, so it is easy to spot once you are in the right area at the right hour — and it attacks on sight.

Two other routes exist if the night hunt is not cooperating. Helzephyr hatches from Large Dark Eggs found in the wild, which respawn at their nest after 180 minutes (Game8), and the Black Marketeer sells it for a base price of 3,700 Gold Coins (Game8). The egg route is a lottery, so catching remains the reliable path.

How do you catch Helzephyr?

Helzephyr is Dark, so Dragon is the type advantage: bring your strongest Dragon Pal and let it do the damage while you keep your distance. Helzephyr descends to your level when engaged and throws projectiles and area attacks at you, so a ranged weapon and a Dragon partner that can tank a hit are the combination that works. Get its HP down to roughly 10–15% before throwing, then use Giga, Hyper or Ultra Spheres — at level 25–30 it is a mid-tier capture, not a guaranteed one, so bring several.

Two practical tips. First, hunt at the low-level end of its range: the 24–28 encounters around the Verdant Brook and Hypocrite Hill area are far easier to catch than the level 60+ Feybreak spawns. Second, catch two — one becomes your flying mount, and the other works the night shift at your base, where its nocturnal nature means it keeps hauling while the rest of your base sleeps.

How do you breed Helzephyr in Palworld 1.0?

Helzephyr is one of the most breedable Pals in the game: 183 of the 44,850 combinations in the 1.0 table hatch it, so almost any established breeding farm can produce one. The four pairs below are the practical ones — both parents are ordinary wild catches, verified against the 1.0 combination table:

Put one male and one female in a Breeding Farm with a Cake in the chest (see our cake guide), and check any pair in the breeding calculator first — 1.0 rewrote the table, and several Early Access recipes no longer work, including Elizabee + Suzaku, Pyrin + Blazamut and Beakon + Cryolinx (we documented the pattern in our breeding mistakes roundup).

Helzephyr is also a gateway parent. Two special combinations run through it: Helzephyr + Beakon hatches Helzephyr Lux, the Dark/Electric subspecies, and Frostallion + Helzephyr hatches Frostallion Noct — one of the best stat lines in the game (see our Frostallion Noct guide). As a regular parent it produces 89 distinct children, including Jormuntide (Dandilord + Helzephyr), Azurobe (Killamari Primo + Helzephyr) and Felbat (Helzephyr + Woolipop Terra) — all verified against the 1.0 table. A caught Helzephyr is a chain-breeding hub, not just a mount: breed it, then breed with it.

What are Helzephyr's stats in Palworld 1.0?

From the 1.0 game files, Helzephyr is Paldeck No. 80, Dark, rarity 7, with 125 Attack, 100 HP and 100 Defense — a combined 325. Game8 ranks the Attack 19th of all Pals, with HP 110th, Defense 87th and the total 68th. The Attack is the story: 125 puts it ahead of most mid-game Pals, while the even 100/100 body means it survives the fights it starts. Its only work suitability is Transporting 4, and it is nocturnal, so it works through the night at your base.

Its partner skill, Wings of Death, is the reason it stays in parties (Game8): Helzephyr can be ridden as a flying mount, and while mounted it changes the player's attack type to Dark and increases Attack by 5% at level 1, rising to 20% at level 5. Starfruits raise the skill level. As a mount it flies at 700 and sprints at 1,100, with 170 stamina (Game8). The Helzephyr Saddle unlocks at Technology level 25 and costs Electric Organ ×20, Leather ×30, Ingot ×20, Paldium Fragment ×30, Cloth ×10 and Refined Ingot ×30 (Game8).

Its active skills run the full Dark arsenal (Game8): Spirit Fire (80 power, level 1), Dark Ball (50, level 7), Shadow Burst (80, level 15), Spirit Flame (200, level 20), Flare Storm (200, level 22), Nightmare Ball (300, level 40), Dark Laser (450, level 50) and Dark Whisp (600, level 70). Its drops are modest but useful — a Venom Gland is guaranteed on every kill, with a very rare Medium Pal Soul (Game8).

Is Helzephyr worth getting in Palworld 1.0?

• The earliest real flying mount. Saddle at level 25, a 1,100 sprint, and a wild catch from level 24 — Helzephyr is the first flyer most players can own without a long breeding chain.
• 125 Attack with a mounted damage buff. Wings of Death adds up to 20% Attack and turns your attacks Dark while riding — a genuine combat mount, not just a taxi.
• A chain-breeding hub. 89 distinct children as a parent, and the key to two special combinations: Helzephyr Lux (Helzephyr + Beakon) and Frostallion Noct (Frostallion + Helzephyr).
• Night-shift worker. Nocturnal with Transporting 4, so it hauls at your base while day Pals sleep.
• It falls off. Game8 is blunt about it: by the mid-game Helzephyr is an average team member, and its 170 stamina and 1,100 sprint are outclassed by the late flyers — Jetragon sprints at 3,300 (see our fastest flying mounts ranking). Catch it early, use it hard, and let it graduate to breeding duty.
