Palworld Hack Terminals Guide: Rewards, Priority Stats, and Best Uses
Hacking Terminals in Palworld pays out Schematics or Handbooks, plus Dog Coins. You can spend those Dog Coins with merchants on special items—one example being the Mysterious Accessory Boxes, which can increase your accessory slot capacity.
Stamina, Health, Attack, Weight, Defense—here’s the priority order that’s been working best for players in Palworld.
All Hack Terminal Solutions in Palworld
With Palworld version 1.0, Hack Terminals function like puzzle challenges that you solve to reach the Core Panel. The Schematics you earn can be used to craft accessories, while the Handbooks help raise a Pal’s affinity. Alongside those rewards, you’ll also receive Dog Coins that can be traded with merchants for special goods. There are multiple different ways to clear Hack Terminals:
- Pal battle
- Seal break
- Panel puzzle
- Spinning wheel
- Vulnerable spot
Terminal Hacks are easier to spot at night thanks to their blue glow, which stands out in the dark.
Hack Terminal Pal Battle Solution
When you approach certain Hack Terminals, a random Pal will spawn, and you’ll be given a one-minute window to defeat it. You can use any weapons you have, or you can call in your stronger Pals to clear the fight faster. After the battle ends, interact with the Core Panel to collect all available rewards.
Hack Terminal Seal Break Solution
For seal-based Terminals, you’ll need to find three Sealing Stones around the Hack Terminal area, then break the seal by attacking the terminal using either your Pal’s abilities or your own weapons. In some cases, the Sealing Stones are visible in plain sight or lined up directly in front of the terminal. Other setups require a bit more searching to locate them.
Hack Terminal Panel Puzzle Solution
The panel puzzle can be completed by connecting every panel inside the frame so the power routes from the source to the Core Panel. As you move through the puzzle, make sure you step on every square. Also note that each Hack Terminal’s power panel arrangement is unique—don’t assume one layout will match another.
Hack Terminal Spinning Wheel Solution
This spinning wheel challenge functions like the one you may have encountered during fishing: watch the cursor position on the wheel and press the button when it’s in the green portion. If you fail, you can reset the puzzle and try again as many times as you need until you succeed.
Hack Terminal Vulnerable Spot Solution
Some Hack Terminals require you to locate a lock’s vulnerable spot, similar to lockpicking. To solve it, press one of the edges of the circle. If the circle turns blue, you’ve started from the correct area. If it turns red, you’re in the wrong spot—so reposition and try again from a different angle. The percentage shown in the center helps you judge how close you are to the right vulnerable point or how far off you are.
