Ancient Civilization Parts are one of the Rare Materials that you can find in Palworld which hold the potential to provide you with better technology.
While the image of the Ancient Civilization Parts appears to be an old and discarded Spark Plug, this material is used for some of the technological advancements in the game.
As you progress through the game, this material becomes more useful and becomes quite easy once you know where it can be farmed.
How To Get Ancient Civilization Parts?
1) Defeating World Bosses
Ancient Civilization Parts can be obtained as drops from certain enemies that you will encounter throughout the game.
One of the best ways to obtain this material is by hunting down the World Boss Pals that can be found all over the map. (These can be defeated or captured to get Ancient Civilization Parts)
These are known to be the stronger variants of Pals in the land and pose a threat to those who are not prepared but once you have grown stronger, the lower level ones can easily be farmed.
2) Defeating Cave Bosses
Caves or dungeons may often be found while you are exploring the island and once you reach the end after taking the right path, you will encounter a boss.
These will be a random Pal but in this case, it will be stronger than the ones that accompany it and will provide you with Ancient Civilization Parts and more when defeated or captured.
Aside from obtaining this material in caves, you also have the chance to obtain more valuable loot if you are lucky enough to find it.
3) Alpha Pals
Alpha Pals, which are often referred to as Lucky or Shiny Pals can sometimes be found out in the wild and these are stronger than regular Pals.
Capturing or defeating these Pals will provide you with loot from their drop tables with the addition of Ancient Civilization Parts.
If you have captured an Alpha Pal and do not need it, you can always Butcher it with a Meat Cleaver to get the loot that it drops when defeated. (Capture and Butcher provides you with the loot twice)
4) Opening Rare Chests
There are several types of chests that you may come across as you are exploring Palpagos Island and the rarest ones will often have good loot.
Amongst the loot in the rare chests, you will have a good chance to obtain Ancient Civilization Parts when you open them.
This is not always guaranteed since the chests that you open will have a random set of loot based on its drop table.
Ancient Civilization Parts Uses
Ancient Civilization Parts are required to craft some of the more advanced equipment that you will be using or structures that you need to build.
One of its main uses is for crafting shields, which includes the Mega Shield, Giga Shield, and Hyper Shield as these provide you with extra protection.
Schematics can sometimes be found as loot and these allow you to craft equipment with better stats but they will need Ancient Civilization Parts before you can make them.
Verdict
While Ancient Civilization Parts are mainly used for crafting shields, you will find that it is more useful when you have obtained different schematics.
Some schematics can require up to 10 or more Ancient civilization Parts, which makes it important to have a stock of this material for later.
While there are other methods of obtaining Ancient Civilization Parts, it’s best to farm World Bosses as this guarantees you will get the materials.
