Unlocking the Secrets of Dark Fragments in Palworld
Palworld's expansive Feybreak DLC introduces a wealth of crafting materials, including the enigmatic Dark Fragments. This guide details how to obtain and utilize these crucial components for crafting high-tier equipment.
How to Get Dark Fragments
Dark Fragments are exclusively found on Feybreak Island. To acquire them, you must hunt or capture Dark-elemental Pals. Note that Dark-elemental Pals from other regions won't yield Dark Fragments. Focus your search on the island's interior, as coastal areas primarily contain ground and water-type Pals. Some Dark Pals, like Starryon, are nocturnal, appearing only at night unless they are boss variants.
Capturing or defeating these Pals yields 1-3 Dark Fragments per encounter, though it's not a guaranteed drop. Efficiently hunting Dark Pals is key to accumulating a substantial supply.
The following Dark-elemental Pals drop 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 rare, single Dark Fragments can sometimes be found scattered across Feybreak. Thorough exploration is recommended.
How to Use Dark Fragments
Dark Fragments are a relatively specialized crafting material. They are primarily used to create advanced saddles, accessories for certain Pals, and enhanced boots for your character.

You'll also need the correct machines and additional materials.
