Alright, so, let’s dive into this. Picture this: it’s late November 2024, and outta nowhere, Pocketpair decides to drop the news about a Terraria-themed crossover for Palworld. Honestly, they kept most of the deets under wraps, but here’s the kicker—they teased everyone with this Meowmare Sword during the Feybreak update. Fast forward to May 2025, and bam! They finally spill the beans, calling it “Tides of Terraria.” Turns out, it’s way more packed than anyone would’ve guessed. New pals, new islands, you name it. Hardcore fans of both games? You’re sorted.
So, just this week, the Palworld’s Tides of Terraria update hit every platform, and lemme tell you, it’s loaded. It brings over some gnarly monsters from Terraria, fresher skins than your morning OJ, a raid boss that’s pretty wild, and this whole assortment of gameplay tweaks including skills, craftable gear, and even shiny weapons. Not to mention, there’s a freaking arena challenge mode and seven brand-spanking new islands. Oh! And there’s this dungeon that’s all Terraria-themed. You can raid it for materials straight out of Terraria’s universe. It’s a geek’s paradise.
Okay, bear with me ’cause there’s this part that’s just bonkers. In Palworld now, you can actually fight and tame the Eye of Cthulhu. Remember that iconic beastie from Terraria? Yeah, so, all those Terraria beasties in Palworld are now ‘Pals.’ It’s nuts. You can have the Eye of Cthulhu working in your factory or breeding more Pals. Yeah, that’s a thing.
Now, let’s talk about the whole “tame the Eye” deal. Terraria and Palworld share some superficial traits but are totally different beasts. Terraria is like this 2D sandbox thing with survival elements thrown in, while Palworld is more your open-world survival gig with monster-catching flair. So, it makes sense that in Terraria—spoiler alert—you can’t just, y’know, tame the Eye of Cthulhu.
In Terraria, the Eye of Cthulhu is this big bad boss you run into early. It’s a massive floating eye with tentacles, flying through blocks and summoning mini eyes. In classic mode, it’s not that tough, though. But the upside-down part is that you won’t get any sweet loot drops. It just appears, or you can summon it with a Suspicious Looking Eye. Cute, right?
In Palworld though, the Eye is kinda distinct. You’ll find it chilling in the Sealed Realm of Terraria, this cute little island next to a volcano. It’s tougher here, so good luck capturing it. But bear with me, once tamed, it’s all happy and social. There’s even a trailer where a player strokes it, and it’s buzzing content. I mean, you gotta see it to believe it. So, Terraria folks, sorry! You can’t keep it as a pet there, but hey, Palworld’s got you covered.
So, I guess that’s the lowdown on this crossover. It’s chaotic, it’s exciting, it’s… oh, I lost my train of thought. Ah, well. Anyway, it’s a wild ride.
