Palworld is a survival crafting game where players catch Pals, build bases, explore dangerous regions, and gather rare materials for stronger gear. Mythical Wood is one of the important late-game resources added around the World Tree content, and it cannot be collected from regular forests across Palpagos. To get Mythical Wood in Palworld, you must enter the World Tree area, use World Tree Holy Water or a suitable World Tree passive, and harvest the special trees before they disappear.
Contents hideKey Takeaways
- Mythical Wood is found only by harvesting trees inside the World Tree region.
- Trees can disappear when you approach unless you and your active Pal have World Tree protection.
- World Tree Holy Water can be obtained by fighting Pals in the World Tree and through other late-game activities.
- A Pal with a World Tree passive, such as God of Destruction, can reduce how often you need to use Holy Water.
Mythical Wood is an endgame material, so expect stronger enemies and additional preparation compared with regular Wood farming. The most important thing to remember is that reaching the World Tree is not enough. You need the right protection effect before you can safely approach and harvest its trees.
Mythical Wood Location in Palworld
The only Mythical Wood location in Palworld is the World Tree region. This is a late-game area connected to the game’s endgame progression and story content.
Once inside the World Tree, you will see trees that appear different from the normal trees found in earlier areas. However, there is a major problem: if you walk toward these trees without the correct protection, they can disappear before you have a chance to hit them.
That is why World Tree Holy Water and World Tree passives are so important. They allow you to stay near the trees long enough to harvest Mythical Wood.
How to Get Mythical Wood in Palworld
The main method requires World Tree Holy Water. You must collect the item, activate its effect, and then gather from World Tree trees while the protection is active.
What You Need Before Farming
Before you start, bring the following:
- An Axe or another reliable way to damage trees.
- World Tree Holy Water.
- A strong combat-ready Pal team.
- Healing items, weapons, and armor for the World Tree area.
- Enough carry weight for Mythical Wood and other rare resources.
The World Tree is not a safe early-game farming area. Prepare for fights before focusing on gathering.
Step-by-Step Mythical Wood Farming Method
- Travel to the World Tree region after unlocking access to the endgame area.
- Defeat Pals around the World Tree to collect World Tree Holy Water. This item gives the glowing protection effect required for World Tree resource gathering.
- Open your inventory and use World Tree Holy Water on your active Pal.
- Use World Tree Holy Water on yourself too if your active Pal does not have a World Tree passive.
- Check that your Pal has the glowing aura before moving toward a tree.
- Approach a World Tree tree while the protection effect is active.
- Use an Axe or attack the tree until it drops Mythical Wood.
- Collect the material and continue to nearby trees while the Holy Water effect is still active.
- Reapply World Tree Holy Water when the effect ends, then repeat the farming route.
The central rule is simple: if the trees are disappearing, your player, your active Pal, or both are missing the necessary World Tree protection.
How to Get World Tree Holy Water
World Tree Holy Water is the key item for farming Mythical Wood. A reliable method is to defeat Pals in the World Tree, as many enemies in the area can drop it.
As of September 2026, World Tree Holy Water is also easier to collect than it was when the World Tree content first arrived. You can obtain it through several activities connected to the region.
Ways to Farm World Tree Holy Water
- Defeat Pals inside the World Tree region.
- Collect rewards from World Tree expeditions.
- Fish in World Tree waters.
- Use a Large Fishing Pond at your base for another possible source.
- Look for Teafant Springs in the World Tree area.
- Use Pals with useful World Tree-related passives when available.
World Tree Holy Water is lighter and more convenient to carry after balance updates, so bring several uses before you start a longer Mythical Wood farming run.

Use Holy Water on Both You and Your Pal
One of the easiest mistakes is using World Tree Holy Water only on your Pal.
When you use Holy Water on an active Pal, it receives a glowing aura. However, the player may also need their own protection effect. If your Pal does not have a World Tree passive, use Holy Water on both yourself and the Pal you are using.
This matters most when you are mounted. Your Pal may be protected, but you can still run into problems if your own protection is missing.
Do Not Dismount Your Pal
Avoid dismounting while you are farming Mythical Wood with a protected Pal.
Based on current gameplay behavior, getting off a mounted Pal can remove the Holy Water aura from that Pal. If this happens, the trees may start disappearing again when you approach them.
Before heading toward another tree cluster, check your Pal’s aura. If the glow is gone, apply World Tree Holy Water again before continuing.
Use a Pal With a World Tree Passive
A second method is to use a Pal with a World Tree passive. These special passives can appear on Pals caught in the World Tree or hatched from eggs obtained in the area.
The video example uses a Beakon with the God of Destruction passive. A World Tree passive is usually marked with a special symbol or visual effect in the Pal’s passive list.
When you have an appropriate Pal active, its effect can help you approach and harvest World Tree trees without constantly spending Holy Water. This makes it useful for extended Mythical Wood farming sessions.
How to Find World Tree Passive Pals
- Catch Pals in the World Tree region.
- Collect and hatch eggs found in the World Tree.
- Inspect the passive skills of every Pal you catch or hatch.
- Keep useful World Tree passive Pals in your Palbox.
- Use the Pal as your active companion when gathering rare World Tree resources.
Do not assume every World Tree passive works in the same way. Test a new passive near a tree before beginning a large farming trip.
Ancient Relic Recycler: Another Mythical Wood Source
The World Tree trees are the main way to get Mythical Wood in Palworld, but the Ancient Relic Recycler can also become a useful secondary option later in the game.
The Recycler can turn Ancient Relics into valuable endgame materials. Mythical Wood may be among the possible rewards, making this a helpful backup source when you need extra materials for crafting.
However, do not rely on the Ancient Relic Recycler for your first Mythical Wood. You will still need to unlock the relevant late-game systems and collect materials before it becomes useful. Farming protected World Tree trees is usually the more direct method when you first need Mythical Wood.
Best Tips for Farming Mythical Wood
Use these tips to avoid wasting Holy Water and time:
- Farm Holy Water before you begin collecting Mythical Wood.
- Keep your Pal mounted if you used Holy Water on it.
- Do not dismount unless you are ready to reapply the protection effect.
- Bring an Axe with strong durability so you do not need to leave early.
- Clear dangerous Pals near the trees before focusing on gathering.
- Harvest several nearby trees during each Holy Water use.
- Catch World Tree Pals and hatch World Tree eggs to search for useful passives.
- Use the Ancient Relic Recycler as a backup source once it becomes available.
- Check your glowing aura before approaching trees that previously disappeared.
- Store Mythical Wood in a secure base chest, since it is an important endgame crafting resource.
What Is Mythical Wood Used For in Palworld?
Mythical Wood is a rare World Tree material used in higher-level crafting and endgame progression. You should save it instead of treating it like ordinary Wood.
The material can be needed alongside other rare resources from the World Tree, including Paloxite-related materials. Because of its limited location and gathering requirements, it is best to collect more than you currently need whenever you make a safe World Tree farming run.
