Palworld's Dark Fragments: A Guide to Finding and Using This Elusive Resource
Palworld's vast Feybreak DLC introduces a wealth of crafting materials, among them the enigmatic Dark Fragments. Essential for crafting high-tier equipment, these fragments aren't always easy to find. This guide details how to locate and utilize this valuable resource.
Obtaining Dark Fragments
Dark Fragments are exclusively found on Feybreak Island and are obtained 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. To find Dark-elemental Pals, venture further inland. Note that some Pals, like Starryon, are only active at night (unless they're boss variants).
Each captured or defeated Dark Pal yields 1-3 Dark Fragments, though this isn't guaranteed. Efficiently hunting these Pals is key to accumulating a sufficient supply.
Here's a list of Dark-elemental Pals and their approximate Dark Fragment drop rates:
| 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 (Boss Variant) | 1-2 x Dark Fragments |
| Rampaging Starryon (Predator) | 1-2 x Dark Fragments |
| Omascul (Boss Variant) | 1-2 x Dark Fragments |
| Splatterina (Boss Variant) | 2-3 x Dark Fragments |
| Dazzi Noct (Boss Variant) | 1 x Dark Fragment |
| Kitsun Noct (Boss Variant) | 1-2 x Dark Fragments |
| Rampaging Omascul (Predator) | 1-2 x Dark Fragments |
| Rampaging Splatterina (Predator) | 2-3 x Dark Fragments |
While less reliable, single Dark Fragments may occasionally be found scattered across Feybreak. Thorough exploration significantly increases your chances of discovering them.
Utilizing Dark Fragments
Dark Fragments are a crucial component in crafting specialized items. Before crafting, you need to unlock the schematic in the Technology Menu (or Ancient Technology Menu) using Technology Points. You'll also need the necessary 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 Points; Requires defeating Feybreak Tower Boss) |
