The Palworld: Tides of Terraria expansion introduces substantial new gameplay elements, including NPC-driven side missions that provide valuable rewards upon completion. Among these new adventures, one particularly rewarding quest line enables players to recruit Zoe as a permanent companion character. This comprehensive walkthrough details the precise steps to locate Zoe and successfully navigate her multi-stage companion acquisition mission.

Completing Zoe’s quest chain not only grants you a powerful ally but also unlocks unique dialogue options and potential future narrative branches. For players seeking to maximize their companion roster, this represents one of the most valuable early-game opportunities available in the expansion content.

As indicated in the visual reference below, Zoe now resides at the Desolate Church landmark location. This zone and the entirety of her associated mission content are designed for lower-level characters, making accessibility possible even for those in the early stages of their Palworld journey.

The Desolate Church typically appears on your map once you’ve explored the central island regions, usually becoming accessible around player level 15-20. The area features minimal hostile encounters, allowing you to focus on interacting with Zoe and progressing through her dialogue trees without constant combat interruptions.

Newcomers must initially confront Zoe and her Grizzbolt partner within the Tower of the Ryane Syndicate combat arena. Veteran players who have previously defeated her might need to re-engage in combat if her dialogue prompts indicate a duel request. Engage her in battle and subsequently return to the Desolate Church location. This combat tower is situated immediately east of the religious structure.

The Tower encounter typically requires a team level of approximately 25-30 for comfortable completion. Strategic players should bring Pals with electric-type resistances and consider utilizing terrain advantages during the confrontation. Success in this battle triggers the next phase of Zoe’s companion questline.

Zoe’s mission directive requires capturing a Grizzbolt specimen and presenting it to her. This can be any Grizzbolt individual, and fortunate players might already possess one within their active party roster. Journey to the No. 1 Wildlife Sanctuary if Grizzbolt capture becomes necessary. Alternatively, you can breed a Grizzbolt using the specific parental pairing of Mossanda and Rayhound.

The Wildlife Sanctuary approach typically yields results within 2-3 exploration cycles, while the breeding method requires establishing proper breeding facilities but guarantees the desired outcome. Breeding also provides the advantage of potentially superior IVs for your resulting Grizzbolt companion.

Critical reminder: configure your Pals to non-aggressive stances. If your Pals remain set to aggressive behavior patterns, Grizzbolt will immediately eliminate Zoe upon summoning, permanently blocking quest progression until server reset or new game session.

Eliminate five Free Pal Alliance operatives. These antagonists wear distinctive white and green ceremonial robes and consistently engage players and their Pals in hostile encounters across the islands.

These hostile entities populate numerous locations throughout the archipelago, but a confirmed spawn location exists surrounding the Ancient Ritual Site fast travel point. Additional specimens can be located near the Cinnamoth Forest region just west of the fast travel location, as demonstrated in the reference image above.

Dispatch five targets and report your success to Zoe. The Ancient Ritual Site typically hosts 3-4 spawns per visit, making it the most efficient farming location for this quest objective.

Seasoned players should note that the Free Pal Alliance members respawn approximately every 10-15 minutes of gameplay, allowing for rapid completion if you coordinate your efforts efficiently. Many players unnecessarily waste time searching multiple locations when focusing on the Ancient Ritual Site provides sufficient spawn density.

The most frequent error encountered involves forgetting to adjust Pal behavior settings before summoning Grizzbolt. This mistake has caused numerous players to accidentally eliminate Zoe, requiring them to wait for server resets or abandon the quest entirely in their current session.

For optimal efficiency, complete the Tower battle first, then acquire Grizzbolt through your preferred method, adjust Pal settings proactively, and finally execute the Free Pal Alliance elimination in a single focused session at the Ancient Ritual Site.
