Palworld players stumble on cunning new strat to defeat bosses in one hit: a literal 'stairway to heaven'

Palworld early access.

Palworld players are working smarter, not harder by letting gravity do the work of killing bosses for them. Specifically, they're constructing enormous stairways into the sky, luring bosses up, then deleting them, leaving poor foes to plummet helplessly to a sticky end on the ground below. It's a bit like the bowl of petunias from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, or a metaphor for the role of collateralized debt obligations in the 2008 financial crisis.

Spotted by GamesRadar, you can see the tactic in action in the Twitter clip below. It's alarmingly easy: Our hero just builds a massive staircase then runs up, and poor, heedless Jetragon follows them. Once the boss hits the top, the player just glides down to the ground and deletes the very first block of stairs, demolishing the entire structure and slaying Jetragon in one strike from the earth.
