Palworld: Oil Rig Guide

The Oil Rig Stronghold is one of the toughest new challenges introduced in Palworld’s Sakurajima Update. Located off the coast and swarming with powerful enemies, it’s packed with high-value loot, if you know how to survive it.

In this simple guide from Revive hosting your trusted source for Minecraft, RedM, Palworld, FiveM servers, and game VPS hosting, you’ll learn everything you need to master the Oil Rig and come out with serious rewards.

Where to Find the Oil Rig

You’ll find the Oil Rig southeast of Marsh Island but don’t expect a fast travel option. There’s no waypoint nearby, so make sure you bring a strong flying mount like Jetragon or a swimming mount like Azurobe or Jormuntide to safely reach it.

What You’ll Need Before You Go

This area is not beginner-friendly. Make sure you're well-prepared with:

• Level 50+: Most enemies are level 50–55. Level up before attempting.
• Legendary Armor: Use heat or cold-resistant Pal Metal Armor depending on the environment.
• Heavy Weapons: A Legendary Rocket Launcher works best for clearing turrets and enemy groups.
• Mount with Mobility: Speed is everything—Jetragon is perfect for dodging heavy fire.

How to Beat the Oil Rig

1. Disable Turrets First
   The Oil Rig has several artillery turrets that can wipe you out fast. Look for turret consoles and disable them before advancing deeper.
2. Avoid Using Mounts During Combat
   Your mounts can take a beating from Gatling Guns. Once inside, go on foot and use cover wisely.
3. Use Ranged Weapons & Skills
   Keep your distance. Use long-range weapons and Pal skills to weaken enemies before they can get close.
4. Clear Enemies Strategically
   Enemies spawn in waves, so don’t rush. Pick them off slowly and avoid being overwhelmed.

Best Loot & Treasure Chest Locations

The Oil Rig is packed with rewards if you know where to look:

🪙 Large Chests contain high-value items like:
