Palworld's Dark Fragments: A Comprehensive Guide
Pocketpair's Palworld, renowned for its expansive open-world and diverse Pals, introduced a wealth of new crafting materials with the Feybreak DLC. Among these is the elusive Dark Fragment, a crucial component for high-tier accessories. This guide details how to obtain and utilize these valuable resources.
Obtaining Dark Fragments
Dark Fragments are exclusively found on Feybreak Island. They are obtained by capturing or defeating Dark-elemental Pals. Note that Dark-elemental Pals in other regions won't yield Dark Fragments. Many ground and water-type Pals inhabit the coastal areas; venture inland to find Dark-elemental Pals. Some, like Starryon, are nocturnal, appearing primarily at night unless they are boss variants.
Each captured or defeated Dark-elemental Pal yields 1-3 Dark Fragments, though this isn't guaranteed. Efficient hunting of Dark Pals is key to accumulating a sufficient supply.
The following Dark-elemental Pals drop Dark Fragments (note boss and predator variants):
Pal Name | Drop Rate |
---|---|
Starryon | 1-2 x Dark Fragments |
Omascul | 1-2 x Dark Fragments |
Splatterina | 2-3 x Dark Fragments |
Dazzi Noct | 1 x Dark Fragment |
Kitsun Noct | 1-2 x Dark Fragments |
Starryon (Midnight Blue Mane) | 1-2 x Dark Fragments |
Rampaging Starryon | 1-2 x Dark Fragments |
Omascul (Hundred-Faced Apostle) | 1-2 x Dark Fragments |
Splatterina (Crismon Butcher) | 2-3 x Dark Fragments |
Dazzi Noct (Born of the Thunderclouds) | 1 x Dark Fragment |
Kitsun Noct (Guardian of the Dark Flame) | 1-2 x Dark Fragments |
Rampaging Omascul | 1-2 x Dark Fragments |
Rampaging Splatterina | 2-3 x Dark Fragments |
While less reliable, single Dark Fragments may randomly appear on the ground across Feybreak, rewarding thorough exploration.
Utilizing Dark Fragments
Dark Fragments, though difficult to acquire in large quantities, are vital for crafting specific high-level items. These items require unlocking schematics in the Technology Menu (or Ancient Technology Menu) using Technology Points (or Ancient Technology Points), and constructing the necessary crafting machines.
