Okay, here’s a wild attempt at it:
—
So, late November 2024, my mind kinda got blown. Pocketpair, these game dev folks, dropped a bomb about Palworld getting its first-ever crossover thingamajig with, get this, Terraria! They didn’t exactly spell out everything back then, like, were they trying to keep us hanging? But anyway, they tossed in this Meowmare Sword during the Feybreak update just because. Fast forward to May 2025, they finally peeled back the curtain with a cool name – “Tides of Terraria.” Honestly, it had more stuff packed in than anyone dreamed. They yabbered on about new pals, new islands – the whole nine yards. Dive in if you’re into Palworld or Terraria, or maybe both if you’re like me.
So now, this update – it’s out in the wild as of, like, last week? Does time even matter anymore? Pocketpair wasn’t kidding when they said it’s overflowing with newness. Seriously, they crammed in Terraria monsters, outfits, a boss raid (scary, right?), more game mechanics, skills, buildings to craft, weapons, armor, an arena thingy, side missions, and seven – count ’em – seven islands. Oh, and there’s even a Terraria-themed dungeon. Go get your Terraria universe goodies there, if that’s your thing.
But wait, let’s dive somewhat sideways. You can tame – brace yourself – the Eye of Cthulhu. I know, I know, in Terraria that thing’s just there to mess you up, not be your buddy. But in Palworld, he’s classified, like, as a Pal. Yup, a buddy-eyed-ball-monster. Keep it as a pet, put it to work, let it mingle with other Pals – you name it.
Now, switch gears – Terraria’s a 2D sandbox, survival flashbacks to boot, but Palworld’s more of the open-world survival gig. Hence, don’t expect to be taming baddies like the Eye in Terraria. Speaking of which, the Eye of Cthulhu floats around as this nasty boss you gotta beat early on in Terraria. A veiny giant eyeball with minion eyeball juniors. Classic, especially on lower difficulty – nothing too fancy in terms of loot though. Pop it up manually using the Suspicious Looking Eye at night – learnt it the hard way.
But here comes the twist! In Palworld, the Eye’s not exactly a spitting image of its Terraria alter ego. Found in the Sealed Realm of Terraria – yeah, roll with it – close to a volcano, because why not? This version’s tough as nails. Yet, if you snag it, it gets all cutesy. In the Tides of Terraria trailer, it even, believe it or not, shows happiness when you pet it. So, no Eye of Cthulhu pets in Terraria, but hey, Palworld’s got you covered.
And there we have it. A tale of monsters, islands, and, uh, friendships? Who knows where games will take us next!
