In the captivating world of Pocketpair's Palworld, the thrill of exploration and discovery never ceases to amaze players. Since its groundbreaking launch in January 2024, the game has kept its community engaged with its expansive open-world environment. The addition of the Feybreak DLC has further enriched the gameplay by introducing a plethora of new crafting materials, allowing players to enhance their characters and Pal bases with cutting-edge technology.

Among these new materials, Dark Fragments stand out as a particularly elusive yet crucial resource. Distinct from the more common Paldium, Dark Fragments are vital for crafting high-end accessories. If you're venturing into Feybreak, securing these fragments should be high on your list of priorities.

How to Get Dark Fragments in Palworld

To collect Dark Fragments in Palworld, focus your search on Dark-elemental Pals found exclusively on the island of Feybreak. Note that Dark Fragments won't drop from Dark-elemental Pals in other regions of the game. You'll need to venture inland from the outer beach and gravel areas, which are dominated by ground and water types, to encounter these elusive Pals. For instance, Starryon can only be found at night, unless you're facing a boss variant.

When you capture or defeat these Pals using your preferred weapon and Pal Sphere (Ultimate or Exotic Spheres are recommended), you can expect to obtain an average of 1-3 x Dark Fragments. Keep in mind that drops are not guaranteed with every encounter, so maximizing your encounters with Dark Pals will increase your chances of amassing a good supply of Dark Fragments.

Here's a list of Dark-elemental Pals on Feybreak that drop Dark Fragments, including their drop rates:

While less reliable, you might also stumble upon single Dark Fragments scattered randomly across Feybreak. Thorough exploration is key, but be mindful of your ammo reserves, as you'll need them for tougher challenges like the island's formidable Tower Boss, Bjorn.

How to Use Dark Fragments in Palworld

Although gathering Dark Fragments can be challenging, their use is quite specialized. They are primarily employed in crafting unique items such as saddles and accessories for specific Pals, as well as certain dash and jumping boots for your character.
