Pocketpair's Palworld, renowned for its expansive open-world exploration, offers a constant stream of mystical items and Pals to discover. The Feybreak DLC significantly expanded this, introducing numerous crafting materials crucial for enhancing player characters and Pal bases. One such valuable, yet sometimes elusive, resource is Dark Fragments. Unlike the more common Paldium, Dark Fragments are essential for crafting high-tier accessories, making their acquisition a priority for Feybreak explorers.

How to Obtain Dark Fragments in Palworld

To acquire Dark Fragments, hunt Dark-elemental Pals exclusively found on Feybreak Island. This material is unique to Feybreak; Pals of the same elemental type in other regions won't yield Dark Fragments. The coastal areas of Feybreak primarily feature ground and water-type Pals; venture inland to locate Dark-elemental Pals. Note that some, like Starryon, are nocturnal unless encountered as boss variants.

Defeating or capturing these Pals (using Ultimate or Exotic Spheres is recommended) yields 1-3 Dark Fragments per encounter. The drop isn't guaranteed, but diligent hunting of Dark Pals should provide a sufficient supply.

The following Dark-elemental Pals drop Dark Fragments. Be aware of boss and predator variants in open areas and dungeons:

While less reliable, single Dark Fragments may randomly appear on the ground across Feybreak. Thorough exploration is key, though frequent combat will consume ammo, potentially impacting other challenges like facing Bjorn, the island's formidable Tower Boss.

Utilizing Dark Fragments in Palworld

Despite the challenge in acquiring them, Dark Fragments aren't used in a vast array of recipes. They are primarily used to craft specialized saddles, accessories for certain Pals, and enhanced boots (dash and jump) for the player character.

The following items require 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.
