Supreme German Tide Palworld Guide: Beat & Capture Strategy
Understanding the Supreme German Tide Threat
The Supreme German Tide stands as Palworld's most formidable boss, with 18,000 HP and devastating ice-based attacks. After analyzing this battle footage, I confirm its upgraded version surpasses the regular German Tide in every way - it lands on terrain, uses four legs, and deploys deadly new abilities like Ice Rain that track players relentlessly. This boss's aggression pattern focuses solely on the player character, ignoring your Pals until directly attacked.
What makes this fight particularly brutal is its diverse move set:
- Ice Rain: Constant AoE damage that drains stamina
- Ice Ball Projectiles: High-damage singular attacks
- Elemental Shift: Unexpected fire or electric moves during phase changes
Key Battle Mechanics and Preparation
Essential pre-fight preparations based on this gameplay:
- Max-level Jetragon: Your primary damage dealer (Dark-type recommended)
- 10+ Ultimate Spheres: Below 50% capture chance with Legendary Spheres
- Water-type Pals: Counters its ice attacks effectively
- Stamina Foods: Critical for dodging tracking attacks
The boss arena's terrain proves strategically significant. During this fight, a critical glitch occurred where the Tide became stuck on rocks, disabling its attacks. While exploitable, I recommend legitimate strategies first:
| Tactic | Effectiveness | Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Jetragon aerial assault | ★★★★☆ | Medium |
| Water-type Pal swarm | ★★★☆☆ | High |
| Terrain exploitation | ★★★★★ | Low |
| Direct firearm damage | ★★☆☆☆ | Extreme |
Phase Breakdown and Execution
Phase 1 (100%-50% HP) demands constant movement. The Tide's Ice Rain attack drains stamina rapidly, making dodging impossible if depleted. Position your Pals strategically while maintaining distance.
Phase 2 (50%-20% HP) introduces elemental shifts. When it glows red, expect fire attacks; blue indicates ice storms. At 30% HP, it summons a second Tide - immediately disengage if this occurs.
The capture window opens below 10% HP. Use Ultimate Spheres only - lower-tier spheres failed consistently in testing. If exploiting the terrain glitch:
- Lure it toward rocky outcrops
- Force pathing errors
- Attack freely once stuck
Advanced Tactics and Post-Capture Analysis
Post-battle examination reveals the captured Supreme German Tide possesses 1,331 base attack at level 59, scaling to 2,600-3,000 at level 78. Its moveset includes:
- Tidal Crush (Water)
- Glacial Barrage (Ice)
- Depth Charge (Hybrid damage)
When tested against Anubis (level 72), the Tide demonstrated elemental superiority despite the level difference. Water-type moves consistently overpowered Anubis' ground attacks, proving its meta viability for late-game content.
Essential Takeaways and Pro Tips
Immediate action steps after watching this footage:
- Stockpile Ultimate Spheres from Black Market merchants
- Upgrade Jetragon to maximum dark affinity
- Craft stamina-boosting meals
- Scout the northern island battle arena beforehand
- Assign water Pals like Azurobe to your team
Recommended endgame Pals for this fight:
- Jetragon (Aerial superiority)
- Suzaku Aqua (Water/fire hybrid)
- Kingpaca (Tank/distraction)
- Azurobe (Type advantage)
This boss exemplifies Palworld's punishing late-game design. Through multiple attempts, we confirmed its attacks can one-shot most Pals below level 60. The terrain glitch provides an alternative win condition, but overcoming it legitimately delivers unmatched satisfaction.
