Astegon is one of the rarest lategame Pals in all Palworld, but with a little know-how, you can have one in your base far before you can actually catch one in the wild.
Astegon isn’t the easiest Pal to breed though and does require Pals of a higher rarity than most other lategame Pals. Even so, there are a ton of different breeding combinations that will give you an Astegon in Palworld.
Palworld breeding combinations, explained
Breeding in Palworld can be complicated. If both parents are the same Pal species, you will get a third of that species—that’s the easy part. When you breed Pals of two different species, it results in a totally random but fixed offspring.
Knowing this is the first step to breeding an Astegon, as it means you do not need to have an Astegon in your Palbox to breed one. Taking that one step further, it means you don’t need to get lucky to get an Astegon egg from your Breeding Farm; you just need to know the right combination.
How to breed an Astegon egg in Palworld
The best breeding combination for Astegon is Cryolinx and Helzephyr because they can be acquired fairly quickly in the mid-game.
- Helzephyr: Helzephyr is nocturnal and can be found near the Cinnamoth Forest teleportation point. This Pal is Dark element Pal, so bring Dragon-type Pals to whittle it down and some Mega and Giga spheres to catch it successfully.
- Cryolinx: Cryolinx can be found in the Astral Mountains at around level 29 to 32. These are high levels, so you should be at least a level 25, equipped with cold resistance armor, and bring fire type Pals to catch the Cryolinx.
A Cryolinx to Helzephyr breeding path, which could look like:
| Parent one | Parent two | Offspring |
| Cryolinx | Pyrin Noct | Helzephyr |
| Helzephyr | Cryolinx | Astegon |
Other breeding combinations for Astegon in Palworld
Fair warning: Astegon is a hard Pal to breed. Even harder than breeding an Anubis. While Anubis can be bred using common and easily acquired Pals, an Astegon egg can only be picked up if you already have some relatively rare Pals available for breeding.
Here are some of the most accessible breeding combinations that give you an Astegon egg:
| Parent one | Parent two | Offspring |
| Cryolinx | Lyleen Noct | Astegon |
| Helzephyr | Orserk | Astegon |
| Suzaku | Relaxaurus | Astegon |
| Pyrin Noct | Shadowbeak | Astegon |
Other combinations can also produce an Astegon, but almost every single one involves one of these Pals or a Pal of an even higher rarity, such as a Necromus. Breeding your way to a Suzaku to pair with an easier-to-acquire Relaxaurus is also viable, but the Suzaku is in the same breeding difficulty tier as Astegon.
The egg that Astegon hatches from is a Huge Dragon Egg, which will take a dreadfully long time to incubate on its own. Make sure you know how to speed up egg incubation if you don’t want to wait an eternity to finally get your Astegon.
