I decided to set up a base near where Paladius and Necromus roam so I didn’t need to travel so far from the nearest warp point. I knew it was the right spot because both were walking by as I put the palbox down.

However, now they have yet to appear in the northeast region of that island at all for several in-game days.

Did placing the base near their area actually screw up their spawning/pathing? Or is there something else I should check?

When I placed a base near Jetragon, I didn’t run into any issues with that pal not spawning at all.
