The wind bit through my jacket as I crested the ridge; frost had already sealed footprints into the stone. You stand at the base of Feybreak Tower, and the new island doesn’t even show on your map. I learned the hard way that Sunreach won’t come to you — you have to force the game to hand it over.
The tower’s frozen stones feel like a warning: How to reach Sunreach Island in Palworld
I’ve chased dozens of updates on Steam and sifted through Pocketpair’s patch notes so you don’t have to. You’re not missing a hidden grapple or a secret ferry — Sunreach Island appears only after a single, specific sequence of actions. This guide gives you the exact route, the enemies you’ll meet, and the little NPC handshake that opens the zone.
Start where the game expects you: the Feybreak Tower. It sits on the southern border of Feybreak Island in an area of extreme cold, so bring heat-resistant gear and Pal food that resists freezing. The tower itself is purpose-built to stop casual explorers — the tower stands like a lighthouse refusing visitors.
Exact coordinates help: go to -1294, -1669. That’s where the boss spawn for Feybreak Tower triggers. When you enter the area, the pair guarding the site are Bjorn and Bastigor. They hit hard, so check your level and your Pal roster — this is less of a puzzle and more of a gate check.
How do I reach Sunreach Island in Palworld?
Defeat Bjorn and Bastigor to gain access to the tower summit. There is no alternate path shown by the map until that boss encounter is finished. After the kill you’ll be able to teleport to the top where a portal waits; interact with it and accept the travel prompt. The loading screen drops you into Sunreach and the island will now appear on your in-game map.
Where is Feybreak Tower located?
Feybreak Tower sits along Feybreak Island’s southern edge — a cold biome that punishes unprepared Pals and players. If you want the GPS shorthand: -1294, -1669. Community guides on Steam and threads in the r/Palworld subreddit have map pins and screenshots if you want a visual marker before you travel.
Do I have to beat Bjorn and Bastigor to use the portal?
Yes. There’s no legitimate way to reach the tower top other than defeating those two. After the fight you’ll be teleported to the summit and the portal prompt appears. The portal was a red thread sewing two maps together — accept the prompt and the game will load Sunreach into your world.
When you arrive you’ll spawn at a point with an NPC who hands your first quest tied to the newly added World Tree content. I haven’t finished that quest yet, but players on Discord and Steam guide threads suggest it’s the hook that ties Sunreach to the main 1.0 storyline. Before you go hunting new Pals, level up your team and bring temperature protection; Sunreach has its own Pal roster and surprises.
If you want extra safety: bring healing items, a Pal with ice resistance, and a ranged attacker to handle Bjorn’s aggressive patterns. Check Steam community guides, Pocketpair’s official notes, and fast answers on Reddit or Discord if you hit a snag — other players often share tactics and loadouts that save hours of trial and error.
So — will you take the stairs and force Sunreach to show its face, or will you wait for someone else to bring the map to you?
