This will be marked on your map, and has a beam of light shining from it, making it visible from the starting area. Just defeat the boss found at a Syndicate Tower, and you’ll get five Ancient Technology Points.

Another way to get Ancient Technology Points is to head intoPalworld’sDungeons and defeat the bosses found at the end of them. Our first Dungeon appeared to the North of a small settlement. You can see this on the map below. Head into a dungeon and progress until you see a Pal with a health bar, surrounded by smaller Pals. These generally award two or three Ancient Technology Points.

Finally, we have Pal Bosses found in the open world. They are high-levelled versions of common Pals like Mammorest. Approach them, and their health bar will fill the top of the screen. Make sure to bring some strong weapons and Pals along with you, though.
