Pocketpair's Palworld has captivated players with its rich open-world exploration since its groundbreaking launch in January 2024. The game's expansive Feybreak DLC has introduced a wealth of new crafting materials, including the elusive Dark Fragments. These mysterious items, distinct from the more common Paldium resource, are crucial for crafting advanced accessories, making them a must-find on Feybreak.

How to Get Dark Fragments in Palworld

To collect Dark Fragments in Palworld, you'll need to focus on hunting down Dark-elemental Pals exclusively found on the Feybreak island. Note that these Pals won't yield Dark Fragments if found elsewhere in the game. The outer regions of Feybreak are dominated by ground and water types, so you'll have to venture deeper inland to encounter the Dark-elemental Pals you're after. Some, like Starryon, only appear at night unless you're facing their boss variants.

When you capture or defeat these Pals using your preferred weapon and Pal Sphere (consider using Ultimate or Exotic Spheres for better results), they typically drop between 1-3 Dark Fragments. Keep in mind, the drop isn't guaranteed every time, so maximizing your encounters with Dark Pals will help you amass the Dark Fragments you need.

Here's a list of Dark-elemental Pals on Feybreak that drop Dark Fragments, including some boss and predator variants you might encounter in open areas or dungeons:

Additionally, keep an eye out for single Dark Fragments scattered randomly across Feybreak. Thorough exploration can occasionally reward you with these valuable finds, though it's not the most reliable method. Managing your ammo wisely during these encounters is crucial, especially if you're saving up for tougher challenges like the Tower Boss, Bjorn.

How to Use Dark Fragments in Palworld

They're essential for creating specialized saddles and accessories for certain Pals, as well as advanced mobility equipment for your character.
