More info

In Palworld, Ancient Civilization Cores are primarily obtained through boss raids and select raid loot. Specifically, you can earn them by defeating raid bosses Bellanoir, Bellanoir Libero, or Blazamut Ryu, and you can also loot the main chest on the Oil Rig for 1–5 cores. Additionally, since the Pal Expeditions update, these cores can drop from higher-difficulty expeditions in the Frozen Cave of Snow Mountain.
