Jetragon is an extremely powerful Legendary Pal that will help any player fight hard bosses in the final stages of Palworld.
Although difficult, there is a cheese strategy that can make Jetragon relatively easy to capture, combined with a few other tricks and preparations, all of which will be covered in this guide.
Requirements To Capture Jetragon
First off, this is still a level 50 Legendary Pal, so Legendary Spheres will almost certainly be required. These can be unlocked with Level 44 Technology Points and require Pal Metal Ingot besides Cement, Carbon Fiber, and Palladium to craft. And Pal Metal Ingot requires Electric Furnace to manufacture.
Anyway, just to be safe, I recommend bringing many Legendary Spheres, around 50 or more. You can maximize Capture Power by giving Lifmunk Effigies to Statue of Power, which will also greatly increase our chances of success.
Needed Gear
Given that Jetragon is located in Volcano region, we should also be wearing Heat Resistance Accessory and Armor. While this strategy should help us avoid damage, sturdier armor and shields are always better.
You can craft Heat Resistant Armor, and Accessory with Heat Resistance can be purchased at Green Wandering Merchant in Dune Shelter for Palworld Gold Coins.
Recommended Food
We need a good flying pal and lots of food to feed it. For food, I like to bring Salads because they are light and delicious. I usually need about 25 to 50 Salad per Jetragon capture.
Recommended Pal & Active Skills
For Pal, I really like Suzaku and its fire attack, which can burn Jetragon for relatively high damage. Suzaku is easily found in Sand Dunes region of the northeast. My favorite moves are Ignis Blast, Spirit Fire, and Flare Arrow.
Also, we need to craft a Suzaku Saddle, which can be unlocked with Technology Points at level 40. Sphere Launcher will make it easier for Sphere to hit Jetragon, but it’s not strictly necessary.
Where To Find Jetragon?
Once all our gear and pals were ready, we went back to sleep to make sure we were at the beginning of the day cycle. We can then head to Ruined Fortress City Fast Travel Point and head west.
We should be able to spot Jetragon roaming around a small crater. We need to move a short distance south to a large rocky formation surrounded on two sides by flowing lava.
Jetragon Cheese Strategy
This next part is very important to keep Jetragon stuck and unable to attack us. We need to board Suzaku and wait near the rock wall until Jetragon heads south towards us.
Once we’re close enough, usually outside of the molten spikes that stick out near the dirt road, we can proceed to attack Jetragon with our ranged attacks to start the fight.
We can try to close the distance and use Dragon Burst attack. Once it gets close to the wall of the rocky formation, we should be able to get Jetragon stuck by flying to the top of the rock.
Jetragon would get stuck flying on the wall in front of us instead of flying around us to where we were. From here, we can ride Suzaku and start attacking Jetragon with ranged attacks. If necessary, we can fly a little higher to maintain a line of sight with the target. When our physical strength is exhausted, we need to return to the ground to restore it.
Burn & Other Status Effects Explained
Our fire attack should initially put Jetragon in a burning state, dealing about 50 damage per tick.
In Palworld, it seems like each additional application of a debuff requires more effort. Therefore, as the battle continues, the duration of burn applied to Jetragon will become longer and longer.
That being said, we should eventually be able to wear down Jetragon to where it can be captured before nightfall. Along the way, we made sure our Suzaku ate Salad.
When & How To Catch Jetragon?
When around 3000 health points remain, Jetragon will physically react to damage, becoming briefly dazed. At this point, our Legendary Spheres should have a capture chance of 2% or higher, so we can start capturing.
Doing this will free Jetragon from being stuck. Then we need to continuously attack it with Legendary Spheres immediately after it breaks away to prevent it from attacking us. After two successful wobbles, we should have our Jetragon.
Benefits Of Jetragon & Superfast Jetragon From Breeding
A Jetragon is great on its own, as it will help us tackle Pseudo-Legendary Pal Bosses on the map, all of which are above level 40. This is true even if we are below level 50.
At this point we can make Jetragon’s Saddle or Missile Launcher. If we could get two Jetragons, one Male and one Female, then they could be bred for desirable traits to create the ultimate Jetragon.
Hope this strategy works for you. If you have your own strategy for Jetragon, please let us know. Hope you have a great day!
