The Arena is a new feature in the Sakurajima update for Palworld that allows players to have PVP duels with their party of Pals, but it is not as simple as a menu option. Here is how to find the Arena in Palworld.
How to Unlock the Arena in Palworld
The Arena can be found on a small island south of Dessicated Desert on the eastern side of the game’s map. It can be surprising how small the landmass of the Arena is, but the island only contains a fast travel point and a giant doorway with which to interact with.
The closest fast travel point is Eastern Wild Island, then players will have to swim or fly across the ocean to get to the Arena island. The island thankfully has its own fast travel point for players to travel there anytime afterward.
How the Arena Works in Palworld
The Arena is a PVP zone where two players can duel each other with their party of Pals. Players must interact with the Arena door to initiate a duel, but both players must be in the same world. There is no matchmaking for the Arena, so the only people to play against are those you invite to your multiplayer world.
Both players will pick one of their Pals to be their partner and two other Pals that are subs, though all three Pals will be fighting at the same time. The duel will be over when either the Pal Trainer or the Pal team has been defeated.
Players do not have to worry about using their stocked items during the battle since any items used will be restored when leaving the Arena. All defeated Pals will regain their health as well.
