How to remove the Crime in Progress status in Palworld?

Palworld, a game recently launched in early 2024, has quickly gained significant popularity despite controversies surrounding allegations of Pokémon plagiarism and the use of generative AI. Since its release on January 19, 2024, it has swiftly climbed to the top of sales rankings and concurrent player numbers on the Steam platform.

In the fashion of famous game series like Hitman or GTA, Palworld also features a functionality called "Crime in Progress." This status attracts the attention of NPCs who will chase you, creating a pursuit situation. If you want to quickly get rid of this status, various methods are presented below.

Choose the "Die to Respawn" Option:

This is the quickest method to eliminate the Crime in Progress status. Simply go to the menu and select the "Die to Respawn" option. Once you respawn, the Crime in Progress status will disappear. However, this method is recommended mainly if you are near a Grand Eagle statue, allowing you to teleport and retrieve your inventory.

Eliminate All NPCs:

An alternative to the first method but also the most complex. You need to eliminate all witnesses searching for you and those who are pursuing you. To do this, you'll need powerful weapons and formidable Pals to defeat your opponents.

Escape as Far as Possible:

This approach involves fleeing to find a refuge where you won't be detected or pursued. If you want to avoid losing your inventory by dying, this method is most suitable. Additionally, if you have a Pal serving as your mount (land, aquatic, or flying), escaping becomes even more straightforward.
