To have the option of butchering your Pals you need to include a Meat Cleaver in your Weapons slot. The Meat Cleaver is unlocked using Technology Points at level 12 and then crafted at your Workbench using Ingot, Wood, and Stone. You only need one Meat Cleaver in your inventory and if it becomes damaged you can repair it at a Repair Bench.

Place your Meat Cleaver in a handheld weapon slot, ready for use. Once you feel the need to butcher one of your Pals, you can equip the Meat Cleaver and approach the Pal. Open the Pal Menu and where it usually says ‘Pet’, it will now say ‘Butcher‘. Selecting this option will start the process and you will be left with the resources that Pal would usually drop.

You can only butcher Pals in your Party. If you want to get rid of a Pal, then use your Palbox to move them into your Party first. Remember: once you do this to a Pal they can never return, so only do this when you are desperate or you are sure you don’t need them in your Palbox.

Before you start butchering your Pals, make sure you know what resources they drop. If you are starving, it is no good killing a Pal who won’t even drop something for you to eat!
