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

By Palworld Gaming Team · Updated 3 November 2026 · Palworld 1.0

Where do you catch Quivern in Palworld 1.0?

Quivern has three routes to your Palbox, and the Alpha boss is the most reliable first one. The level 23 Alpha, titled Wings of White, lives at the Sealed Realm of the Winged Tyrant, just north of the fast travel point of the same name in the Bamboo Groves. Published coordinates cluster tightly around (-256, -131) — GameRant and DualShockers both give (-256, -131), Pro Game Guides gives (-255, -130), and Destructoid gives (-260, -121) for the same spot — so treat the exact numbers as approximate and look for the large stone statue and the blue teleportation circle that drops you into the boss arena. Like other field bosses, the Alpha respawns after a timer, so a failed catch is not a lost opportunity.

The second route is wild spawns in Wildlife Sanctuary No. 2, the western sanctuary island reached from the Ruined Fortress City travel point heading north-west (Destructoid, TheGamer). Wild Quiverns roam there in numbers, which makes the sanctuary the better route if you want several Quiverns for breeding or condensing. Game8's current 1.0 location page additionally lists Snowy Mountain Biome and Sunreach wild spawns.

How do you beat and catch the Quivern Alpha?

Quivern is a pure Dragon-type Pal, so its weakness is Ice (Pro Game Guides, TheGamer), and it is strong against Dark. That makes an Ice Pal the correct damage dealer — Frostallion is the strongest Ice option in the game, but a mid-game player will do fine with an early Ice Pal such as Chillet, which TheGamer's boss guide specifically recommends. Avoid sending Dark Pals into the fight, since Quivern's Dragon attacks hit them hard.

Expect a three-element fight. TheGamer's boss guide breaks down the Alpha's kit as Draconic Breath (a continuous Dragon-type stream), Acid Rain (a Water-type area attack that follows you briefly) and Spirit Fire (a short Fire-type barrage). All three are avoidable by rolling and keeping distance. Arrive at around level 23, weaken the boss, then throw Giga Spheres or better; TheGamer recommends Ultra Spheres or better for a comfortable catch rate. Defeating or catching Quivern drops High Quality Pal Oil.

What are Quivern's stats in Palworld 1.0?

From the 1.0 game files, Quivern is Paldedex No. 124, rarity 7, with 100 Attack, 105 HP and 100 Defense. Those are balanced mid-game numbers — not a damage pick like Necromus or Bellanoir — and the combat ranking reflects it: 130th of 299 for Attack, 100th for HP and 111th for Defense. Quivern earns its slot elsewhere.

First, the work line: Transporting 5, Mining 4, Gathering 3 and Handiwork 2. Transporting 5 makes Quivern a genuinely good base hauler, and Mining 4 / Gathering 3 means it pulls its weight at a base even when it is not flying you anywhere. Second, the mount: Quivern is a flying mount with a ride speed of 950 in the game files, and its saddle unlocks at Technology Level 38 (Game8) for Leather x30, Paldium Fragment x30, Cloth x10, Refined Ingot x20 and Cryogenic Coolant x10. Third, the Partner Skill: Sky Dragon Affection lets you ride Quivern and, while it is in your party, increases the Attack of Dragon Pals by 15% at skill level 1, rising to 30% at level 5 (Game8, via Starfruits).

How do you breed Quivern in Palworld 1.0?

We searched the entire 1.0 combination table (all 44,850 pairings, PalCalc game-file dataset): 299 pairings produce Quivern. That is a generous recipe count for a Pal with a party-wide buff, and the cheapest routes are built from accessible parents. The easiest verified pairs, by combined breeding power, are:

• Wistella + Nyafia — the cheapest route in the table, and both parents are low-rarity catches.
• Lapure + Smokie Cryst — worth it if you already have a Smokie line running.
• Fenglope Lux + Shroomer — a practical mid-game route from two common parents.
• Roujay + Valentail — another low-cost route if Valentail is already in your Palbox.

Once you own a pair, Quivern + Quivern true-breeds, so perfecting passives is a matter of Cake and patience — budget that Cake from our cake guide, and check any recipe in the breeding calculator before committing parents. Breed for Swift if Quivern will be a mount, or for combat passives from our best passive skills tier list if it will sit in your party buffing your Dragons.

What about Quivern Botan, the Grass variant?

Quivern has a Grass variant, Quivern Botan, and it comes from exactly one special combination: Quivern + Lullu. That is one of the 77 variant special combinations in 1.0, and it is the only cross-species route to the Botan form — Quivern Botan otherwise only true-breeds from two Botan parents. The variant trades the base form's work line for a farm-friendly one: Planting 5, Gathering 4, Transporting 4, Mining 3 and Handiwork 2, with slightly higher Attack at 105 and the same 105 HP, 100 Defense and 950 ride speed.

Is Quivern worth getting in Palworld 1.0?

• The Dragon team's buff slot. Sky Dragon Affection's party-wide Dragon Attack boost (up to 30% at skill level 5, Game8) is unique to Quivern and costs no combat slot — it is the single best reason to own one, even in the endgame.
• A mid-game flying mount you can actually get. Level 23 Alpha, Sanctuary wild spawns, 299 breeding recipes and a level 38 saddle make Quivern one of the earliest reliable flyers — well before the endgame mounts in our fastest flying mounts list.
• A base worker, not a passenger. Transporting 5 with Mining 4 and Gathering 3 means Quivern earns its food at base, and the Botan variant adds Planting 5 for farm bases.
• A chain-breeding parent. As a parent, Quivern appears in pairings producing 90 distinct children, including verified lines to Menasting, Elizabee, Warsect and Wumpo Botan — so a Quivern pair feeds the endgame ladder our breeding guide describes.
