Nightglow is one of the unique ranged weapons included in the Tides of Terraria update for Palworld. This weapon can fire attacks that home onto its target automatically. In this guide, we’ll tell you how to locate the Nightglow schematic, craft the weapon, its stats, and whether it is worth adding to your collection.
Nightglow Overview
The Nightglow is a new long-range weapon in Palworld. This firearm, which resembles a lantern, is unique in that it shoots colorful projectiles that find their target automatically. This device is especially helpful in combat against fast-moving bosses and other enemies that are usually moving quickly and are hard to hit because of their difficulty to hit weak points.
The Nightglow may not be the most damaging weapon in Palworld, but since it can hit moving targets exceptionally well, it is still as good as the weapons that can do great damage.

Weapon Description
A lantern that radiates a rainbow-hued light. Holding it aloft releases homing light projectiles that strike enemies multiple times.
Where to Find the Nightglow Schematic
Nightglow schematic is available only within the Sealed Realm of Terraria (-434, -779). This specific location is situated in the southeastern part of the map, east from the Fisherman’s Point fast travel point.
While exploring the dungeon, players will have to deal with opponents, new Pals, and find various treasure chests in the different rooms in the dungeon. There is a final boss on the way out of the dungeon that is followed by additional treasure chests outside.
The Legendary Nightglow schematic might be one of the rewards you could collect in these treasure chests; however, all rewards in the game are random, so there is no guarantee that you will get this schematic on your first run as you may need to try multiple times before you get the schematic.
How to Farm the Legendary Nightglow
If you don’t obtain the schematic from the dungeon chests, keep moving forward through the Terraria boss chain.
While you are in the Sealed Realm of Terraria, you can acquire the schematic for the Celestial Sigil. Once you craft the sigil, use it at the altar to call forth the Moon Lord. Defeating the boss nets you the Celestial Sigil Master, which you can then use to battle the enhanced version of the encounter.
The upgraded version of the Moon Lord fight offers yet another chance to acquire the Legendary Nightglow, serving as a good method to farm the weapon in case of bad luck in the dungeon.
How to Craft Legendary Nightglow
The Legendary Nightglow can be crafted at any of the following high-tier crafting stations:
- Production Assembly Line II
- Advanced Workshop
- Advanced Weapon Assembly Line
- Production Assembly Line
- Weapon Assembly Line
- Weapon Assembly Line II
- Ancient Workbench
Once you have the Legendary schematic, you’ll need the following materials to craft the weapon:
- 40 Hallowed Bars
- 3 Ancient Civilization Parts
- 20 Pal Metal Ingots
How the Nightglow Works
The Nightglow continuously fires homing projectiles as long as you hold the attack button. Since the shots automatically lock onto nearby enemies, you don’t need to manually aim during combat. This makes the weapon particularly useful against fast-moving enemies or bosses whose weak points are difficult to hit consistently.
The weapon can also be fired while riding flying mounts that support ranged attacks, allowing you to stay mobile while your projectiles chase enemies across the battlefield.
One limitation to keep in mind is that the Nightglow cannot be used alongside the Terra Prisma. Only one of these weapons can attack at a time, so they cannot be combined for additional damage.
Is Nightglow Worth Using?
Despite its relatively modest base damage, the Nightglow offers several advantages that make it a valuable endgame weapon. Its homing attacks remove the need for precise aim, making combat more forgiving during hectic boss fights and large enemy encounters. It also consumes no ammunition, so you can use it freely while farming materials, clearing dungeons, or exploring without worrying about resupplying.
Players looking for the highest possible burst damage may still prefer other Legendary weapons, but the Nightglow excels in ease of use, reliable target tracking, and sustained combat, making it one of the most enjoyable ranged weapons introduced in the Tides of Terraria update.
