Palworld’s Feybreak update dropped Dec. 23, bringing a slew of new feature to the creature-catching game. But there’s one recent mechanic that has thrown players a curveball, and that’s Sphere Criticals.
Okay, it may not be a curveball like in Pokémon Go, but these special throws can make a big difference when you’re trying to catch a new Pal species—especially one that’s refusing to stay in its Pal Sphere. Sphere Criticals increase your chances of catching a Pal in Palworld, but to pull one off, you have to throw a Sphere at the correct body part of whatever creature you’re trying to catch. Unfortunately for players, the game doesn’t exactly tell you which part that it; you’ll just have to figure it out on your own through trial and error.
