Palworld's latest raid boss Bellanoir stunned the community as a player defeated her in 36 seconds using a Jetragon spam strategy.

Let me tell you, the Palworld community never fails to amaze me. Just when I thought I was getting the hang of things in 2026, someone goes and pulls off a stunt that makes my own Pals look like they're moving in slow motion. Picture this: a brand new, menacing raid boss, Bellanoir, introduced to strike fear into the hearts of players, and one fan just... deletes her. Poof. Gone in a blistering 36 seconds flat. I mean, come on, that's barely enough time to brew a cup of coffee! It's the ultimate case of bringing a rocket launcher to a knife fight, and honestly, I'm here for it.

The "No-Nonsense" Strategy: Jetragons and Prayers

So, how does one achieve such a feat? According to the mastermind, Reddit user notqp, the strategy was beautifully simple, almost brutally so. No complex tactics, no intricate dance of dodges and parries. Nope. It was a straightforward two-part plan:

1. Spam Jetragons. Like, a lot of them. We're talking a full-on aerial cavalry charge.

2. Shoot a bit. Just to add a little personal touch to the chaos.

This approach was so intense it practically gave the game an existential crisis. The frame rate reportedly plummeted into the low teens, turning the epic battle into a slideshow of destruction. But Bellanoir wasn't the only thing brought to its knees; the game's performance took a serious hit too. It's like the Jetragons were saying, "Frames? We don't need no stinking frames!" The sheer volume of on-screen action was so overwhelming that the player admitted their game had crashed several times before just from swapping Pals. The whole attempt was basically a high-stakes gamble against the game engine itself. "My fingers were crossed the whole time," they said, and buddy, I don't blame you one bit.

Could It Have Been Even Faster? (The Horror!)

Here's the kicker that makes my own modest achievements feel even smaller: the player reckons they could have done it even quicker. Let that sink in. They went into this legendary battle without fully upgrading their Jetragons using the Statue of Power, and without maximizing their Pal ranks via the Essence Condenser. They basically used a slightly undercooked superweapon. It's like showing up to a final exam with a half-charged calculator and still acing it in record time. The audacity! The sheer, unadulterated confidence!

So, You Want to Fight Bellanoir? Here's the Deal

For us mere mortals who might want to tackle Bellanoir the, you know, intended way, here's what you're in for as of 2026:

• Unlock Level: 33. That's when the Summoning Altar recipe becomes available.

• The Process: It's not just about building the altar. You need to craft a special slab to go with it.

  • Regular Bellanoir: Requires a slab made from 4 Bellanoir's Slab Fragments.

  • Hard Mode (Bellanoir Libero): Requires a slab made from 4 Bellanoir Libero's Slab Fragments. Yikes.

This whole spectacle was part of the massive Palworld update 0.2.0.6, which, besides giving us this raid boss to bully (or get bullied by), also dropped a bunch of new goodies:

What Was Added	Why It's Cool
11 New Items	More toys for our sandbox!
Numerous QoL Changes	Making life in Palworld smoother.
Bug Fixes	Squashing those pesky glitches.
Anti-Cheat Measures	Keeping the playground fair.

In the end, this 36-second saga is a perfect snapshot of Palworld's charm. It's a game where you can meticulously plan and build, or you can just say "screw it" and throw a swarm of hyper-dragons at a problem until it ceases to exist. It's chaotic, it's hilarious, and it constantly surprises you. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go... uh... rethink my entire approach to Pal combat. Maybe I'll start by getting a second Jetragon. Or ten.
