Palworld: Unlocking the Secrets of Dark Fragments
Pocketpair's Palworld, with its expansive open world and captivating Feybreak DLC, offers a treasure trove of mystical items and Pals. Among these is the elusive Dark Fragment, a crucial crafting material for high-end accessories. This guide details how to obtain and utilize this valuable resource.
Acquiring Dark Fragments
Dark Fragments are exclusively found on Feybreak Island by capturing or defeating Dark-elemental Pals. Unlike other regions, Pals on the outer beaches and gravel areas of Feybreak are predominantly ground and water types. Venture inland to locate the Dark-elemental Pals you need. Note that some, like Starryon, are only visible at night unless they are boss variants.
Each captured or defeated Dark-elemental Pal yields 1-3 Dark Fragments, though it's not a guaranteed drop. Efficient hunting is key to accumulating a sufficient supply.
The following Dark-elemental Pals yield Dark Fragments:
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 can sometimes be found randomly scattered across Feybreak, rewarding thorough exploration.
Utilizing Dark Fragments
Dark Fragments, though challenging to obtain, are not used in a vast array of recipes. They are primarily needed for crafting specialized saddles, accessories for certain Pals, and enhanced boots for your character. Remember to unlock the necessary schematics in the Technology Menu (or Ancient Technology Menu) using Technology Points before crafting. You'll also need the appropriate crafting machines and other materials.
Here's a list of craftable items requiring Dark Fragments:
Crafted Item | Unlock Method |
---|---|
Homing Module | Level 57 in Technology Menu (5 Technology Points) |
Triple Jump Boots | Level 58 in Ancient Technology Menu (3 Ancient Technology Points; Defeat Feybreak Tower boss) |
