Out of all 100+ Pals you can catch in developer Pocketpair’s popular new “Pokémon with guns” survival gamePalworld, two of the best to track down are Jormuntide and its sibling, Jormuntide Ignis. Not only are these massive serpentine dragons excellent in combat with their high health, excellent damage, and diverse array of attacks, but they’re also notable for being the only Pals with Level 4 Watering and Kindling, respectively. This makes them the best specialized workers for these jobs specifically — and both Watering and Kindling are important for growing and cooking food, refining resources, and more.
Hands down, they’re exceptional Pals, and even made S-tier on ourPalworld tier list. But Pals this good are balanced by how hard they are to find and catch, and Jormuntide and Jormuntide Ignis are no exception. If you’re determined to get them, though, read on; below, I go over where you can find them, how you can catch them effectively, and how you can breed for Jormuntide if you’d prefer to get it that way.
Palworld: Jormuntide and Jormuntide Ignis locations
Unlike the vast majority of Pals that have a few different habitats across Palworld’s open world, both Jormuntide and Jormuntide Ignis only spawn naturally in very specific areas. This makes them incredibly hard to find on your own, but thankfully, players have discovered where they appear and have shared that information with the wider Palworld community.
Jormuntide can be encountered as a Level 45 Alpha Pal miniboss in a lake at coordinates (-175,-265), just southeast of the Investigator’s Fork fast travel statue. There’s a camp full of hostile Syndicate Thug NPCs nearby, so either take them out before heading to Jormuntide’s location or avoid the bandits entirely. Also, watch out for packs of hostile Direhowl.
An identical Jormuntide can also be found at (350, -85) in a lake with a giant skeleton in it, east of the Mossandra Forest fast travel statue. It’s harder to fight here since this lake is much,muchbigger, and also because there’s significantly less land for you to stand on.
Jormuntide Ignis, meanwhile, spawns exclusively at Wildlife Sanctuary 2, located at (-660, -115). They’re a bit easier to fight since they’re usually Level 41-42, though they are by no means a simple Pal to catch. Coming to this location means you’ll also have to worry about avoiding PIDF soldiers, or else you’ll become Wanted since it’s considered an off-limits zone. There aren’t many, though, so this isn’t really that big of a problem.
Palworld: How to catch Jormuntide and Jormuntide Ignis
With their large health pools and high levels, both Jormuntide and Jormuntide Ignis are difficult to catch. However, with the right companion Pals, equipment, and strategy, it won’t be long before each of these dragons are yours. Here’s what I recommend for each fight:

And with that, you’re now the proud owner of a Jormuntide! Keep in mind that as an Alpha Pal, it will respawn here once every in-game day, so you can come back to fight and catch it again if you’d like to. In fact, doing so is recommended if you’re in the endgame and are trying to get one with desirable Passive Skills.

Note that you can actually find 2-4 Jormuntide Ignis around Wildlife Sanctuary 2 each day, so you can get multiple of them faster than you can with Jormuntide. This is offset by the fact that they spawn near other high-level, hostile Pals though, which you may accidentally aggro during your attempts to catch the fiery dragons.
Palworld: How to breed for Jormuntide and Jormuntide Ignis
If you’re struggling to get Jormuntide the traditional way, you’ll be happy to know that it’s available through breeding. I recommend following our completePalworld breeding guidethat goes over the full process of how this works, but the TL;DR is that you build a Breeding Farm structure in yourPalworld base, throw in two Pals (one male, one female) that you want to mate, feed them cake, and then put the egg they produce in an Egg Incubator. After a while, that egg will hatch into a new Pal.
Different Pal breeding combinations yield different types of Pal offspring, and since every Pal is capable of breeding with any other Pal, there possible outcomes number in the thousands. Luckily, more than a few of those combinations result in the birth of a Jormuntide, which I’ve listed below. If I discover more, I’ll be sure to add them to the list.
Jormuntide Ingris has notably fewer breeding pair options than the standard Jormuntide, despite both iterations of the Pal being deemed as Epic creatures. Throwing the following combinations in the breeding pen together will net you one of these treacherous beasts.
Note that if you haven’t caught any of these Pals yet, you can use this helpfulPalworld interactive mapto pinpoint exactly where they’re located in the open world. Armed with that information, you can hunt them down as soon as possible and get breeding.
