Palworld Sulfur Location Guide — Best Sulfur Farming Routes (1.0)

Sulfur is the bottleneck resource for ammunition in Palworld 1.0 — every bullet, cannon shell, and rocket requires gunpowder (Sulfur + Coal), which means you can’t fight end-game bosses or clear the Oil Rig without a steady sulfur supply. This guide maps every sulfur node and shows you the best farming routes.

What Sulfur Is Used For

• Gunpowder (2 Sulfur + 1 Coal) — base ingredient for all ammunition
• Rocket Ammo — end-game ranged damage
• Shells — shotgun and handgun ammunition
• Electric ammo and grenades — advanced combat consumables

In the late game, expect to use 200-400 Sulfur per hour if you rely on firearms for combat.

Best Sulfur Mining Locations

1. Mount Obsidian — Volcano Summit (Best Overall)

Coordinates: -630, -440 (summit area)

The Mount Obsidian volcano region is the single best sulfur source in the game. Sulfur nodes appear as yellow crystal clusters on and around the volcano’s slopes.

• Nodes: 6-8 sulfur deposits around the summit and outer rim
• Nearby resources: Coal is abundant on the same mountain — farm both in one trip
• Threat level: High — Fire-type Pals, including high-level Suzaku and Ragnahawk
• Best approach: Land on the volcano rim from above and work inward

2. Mount Obsidian — Eastern Base Trail

Coordinates: -550, -400

If the summit is too hot (literally), the eastern approach trail has 3-4 sulfur nodes at lower elevation with fewer enemy spawns.

• Nodes: 3-4 sulfur deposits
• Safety: Lower threat than the summit
• Good for: Quick sulfur runs before you’re geared for the summit

3. Twilight Beach — Southern Desert Edge

Coordinates: -100, -620

A small sulfur cluster on the southern edge of the desert biome — not the most efficient, but accessible early-mid game.

• Nodes: 2-3 sulfur deposits
• Nearby: Close to Investigator’s Fork fast travel point
• Threat level: Low
• Best for: Early sulfur gathering before you can handle Mount Obsidian

Sulfur vs. Coal — Same Mountain, Different Routes

Mount Obsidian is the only location in Palworld where you can farm both Coal and Sulfur in large quantities. This makes it the ideal spot for a dedicated ammunition crafting base:

Pro tip: Build your coal base at the mountain’s base and extend a second base (or use a flying mount) to reach the summit Sulfur nodes in under 2 minutes.

Best Base Location for Sulfur Mining

There’s no flat ground near the sulfur-dense summit of Mount Obsidian, so the best strategy is:

1. Primary base at Mount Obsidian base (-590, -480) for coal + sulfur collection via chest network
2. Manual runs to the summit for sulfur using a flying mount (Ragnahawk or better recommended for fire resistance)
3. Smelting base in a separate location with Kindling Lv4 for Ingot + Ammo production

Best Mining Pals for Sulfur

Same as coal mining — Mining Lv3+ is required to efficiently break sulfur nodes:

• Astegon (Lv4) — ultimate miner, but end-game only
• Blazamut (Lv4) — fiery aesthetic fits Mount Obsidian perfectly
• Reptyro (Lv3) — solid mid-game option, Fire type resists volcano heat
• Digtoise (Lv3) — easiest to obtain, gets the job done

Sulfur Farming Route

1. Fast travel to Mount Obsidian base
2. Fly to the volcano summit (approach from the east side for the safest landing)
3. Mine all sulfur nodes on the rim (6-8 nodes, ~120-160 sulfur)
4. Drop to the eastern trail for 3-4 more nodes
5. Return to base, combine with coal, craft gunpowder
6. Repeat every in-game day (nodes respawn)

Summary

• Best spot: Mount Obsidian summit (-630, -440) — 6-8 sulfur nodes
• Secondary: Mount Obsidian eastern trail (-550, -400) — safer but fewer nodes
• Early game: Twilight Beach (-100, -620) — low threat, small yield
• Best miner: Astegon (Lv4) or Reptyro (Lv3) for remote mining
• Key combo: Farm Sulfur + Coal in the same trip on Mount Obsidian
• Pro tip: Keep 500+ Sulfur stockpiled before attempting the Oil Rig or late-game bosses
