Palworld is a captivating open-world survival game where players manage bases and take care of various creatures known as Pals. One of the essential tools for maintaining the well-being of these creatures is the Mind Control Meds. This guide will provide an in-depth look at how to obtain, craft, and use Mind Control Meds effectively in Palworld.
Overview of Mind Control Meds
Mind Control Meds in Palworld serve as a cure-all for all status ailments that Pals can suffer from, including depression, stress, and low energy. Additionally, they instantly refill the Sanity of the affected Pal, making them a valuable resource for managing large groups of creatures. However, they do not heal the Pal’s health.
There are two primary methods to obtain Mind Control Meds in Palworld:
- Crafting Mind Control Meds
- Purchasing from Wandering Merchants
How Mind Control Meds Work

Where to Buy Mind Control Meds
Mind Control Meds can be purchased from certain merchants in Palworld:
- The Wandering Merchant in Duneshelter (coordinates 359, 348) sometimes sells them
- Some other Wandering Merchants found in the open world may also stock them
- They cost 10,000 gold coins per unit
Note that not all merchants sell Mind Control Meds. For example, the merchant in the Small Settlement does not carry them
How to Craft Mind Control Meds
To craft Mind Control Meds, players need to reach Level 43 and unlock the Electric Medicine Workbench in the Technology Tree. This advanced workstation requires the following materials to construct:
- Carbon Fiber x20
- Refined Ingot x40
- Circuit Board x10
Once the Electric Medicine Workbench is set up, you can craft Mind Control Meds using:
- Refined Ingot x10
- Horn x10
- Bone x5
- Pal Fluids x3
Crafting Mind Control Meds is a time-consuming process, even with the best Medicine Production Pals. It is advisable to queue up the crafting process to ensure a steady supply.
Purchasing from Wandering Merchants
For those who prefer not to craft, Mind Control Meds can be purchased from Wandering Merchants found in specific locations, such as Duneshelter at coordinates 359, 348. These merchants occasionally stock Mind Control Meds, but they come at a high cost of 10,000 gold per unit. Capturing a Wandering Merchant can provide a consistent supply within your camp.
How to Use Mind Control Meds
Using Mind Control Meds in Palworld is straightforward and follows a similar process to feeding your Pals:

- Choose Mind Control Meds: Select the Mind Control Meds from your inventory and apply them to the Pal.
Upon consumption, the Mind Control Meds will instantly cure all status ailments and restore the Pal’s Sanity to 100%. This makes them an invaluable tool for maintaining the overall well-being of your creatures, especially in large bases with multiple Pals.
