Obtain Dark Fragments for Pokémon-Inspired Palworld

Palworld's Dark Fragments: A Guide to Finding and Using This Elusive Resource

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, Dark Fragments stand out as a particularly valuable, yet elusive, resource. This guide details how to acquire and utilize these ominous crafting components.

Obtaining Dark Fragments

Dark Fragments are exclusively found on Feybreak Island. To obtain them, you must hunt or capture Dark-elemental Pals. Note that Dark-elemental Pals found outside Feybreak will not yield Dark Fragments. Many Pals on the outer beaches and gravel areas are ground or water types; you'll need to venture inland to find Dark-elemental Pals. Some, like Starryon, primarily appear at night (unless they're boss variants).

Capturing or defeating these Pals will reward you with 1-3 Dark Fragments per encounter, though it's not a guaranteed drop. Efficiently hunting Dark Pals is key to accumulating a sufficient supply.

The following Dark-elemental Pals yield Dark Fragments:

While less reliable, you might occasionally find single Dark Fragments scattered randomly across Feybreak. Thorough exploration is encouraged.

Utilizing Dark Fragments

Dark Fragments, while valuable, aren't used in a vast array of recipes. They are primarily components for specialized items, such as saddles and accessories for certain Pals, and enhanced boots for your character.

Here's a list of craftable items requiring Dark Fragments: Remember to unlock the schematics in the Technology Menu (or Ancient Technology Menu) using Technology Points, and ensure you have the necessary machines and resources.

This comprehensive guide should help you effectively acquire and utilize Dark Fragments in your Palworld adventure. Happy hunting!
