What Is Coralum Ore?

Coralum Ore is a special crafting material introduced in one of Palworld’s major content updates - "Tides of Terraria". Unlike common ores, Coralum can’t be mined from ordinary nodes. Instead, players need to hunt specific Pals, salvage wreckage from the ocean, or manage a sustainable breeding method at their base.

Best Ways to Get Coralum Ore

1. Where to Find and Capture Whalaska

The primary source of Coralum Ore is the Pal called Whalaska. Whalaska is a large, whale-like water Pal that roams colder ocean regions and icy biomes. The best spot to find them is on the Isle of the Glacial Core, a frozen island located northwest of the desert region.

When you defeat or catch a Whalaska, you can collect a good amount of Coralum Ore, often anywhere between 5 and 20 pieces per encounter. This makes hunting them the most direct and reliable method for players strong enough to handle them.

IMPORTANT

Whalaska is easier to locate during daytime when they surface more often near the icy shores

2. Salvage the Ocean

Another option is ocean salvage. With the right equipment, you can dive and fish for valuable materials, including Coralum Ore. To do this efficiently, you’ll need:

• A Pal that can swim or dive.

• A decent fishing rod.

• A high-level fishing magnet or salvage tool (usually unlocked at higher levels).

Salvage spots appear around deep-water areas and near shipwrecks. Each salvage attempt can reward a small amount of Coralum Ore, but you’ll need to be patient—it’s best used as a supplementary method, not your main source.

3. Breeding and Harvesting

If you want a steady supply without constant hunting trips, breeding Whalaska is an option, though a bit more controversial for some players. By building a breeding pen at your base, you can pair a male and female Whalaska to produce offspring. These can be harvested (butchered) for Coralum Ore drops.

It’s actual a practical way to passively gather enough Coralum to meet the large crafting demands in late game.

To craft ingots, gather:

• 5 Coralum Ore

• 30 standard Ore
