Palworld's Dark Fragments: A Guide to Finding and Using This Elusive Resource
Palworld's vast Feybreak DLC introduces a wealth of crafting materials, including the enigmatic Dark Fragments. This guide details how to acquire and utilize this crucial resource for crafting high-tier equipment.
How to Obtain 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 from other islands won't yield Dark Fragments. You'll likely need to venture inland, as coastal Pals are typically ground or water types. Some Dark Pals, like Starryon, are nocturnal, appearing only at night unless they are 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 Dark Fragments |
Omascul | 1-2 Dark Fragments |
Splatterina | 2-3 Dark Fragments |
Dazzi Noct | 1 Dark Fragment |
Kitsun Noct | 1-2 Dark Fragments |
Starryon (Midnight Blue Mane) | 1-2 Dark Fragments |
Rampaging Starryon | 1-2 Dark Fragments |
Omascul (Hundred-Faced Apostle) | 1-2 Dark Fragments |
Splatterina (Crismon Butcher) | 2-3 Dark Fragments |
Dazzi Noct (Born of the Thunderclouds) | 1 Dark Fragment |
Kitsun Noct (Guardian of the Dark Flame) | 1-2 Dark Fragments |
Rampaging Omascul | 1-2 Dark Fragments |
Rampaging Splatterina | 2-3 Dark Fragments |
While rare, single Dark Fragments can sometimes be found randomly scattered across Feybreak. Thorough exploration is recommended, though remember that extensive combat will deplete your ammo.

Dark Fragments are a relatively specialized crafting material. They're primarily used to create specific items like saddles and accessories for certain Pals, and enhanced boots for your character.
