Palworld's Dark Fragments: A Guide to Finding and Using This Rare Resource
Pocketpair's Palworld offers a vast world to explore, filled with mystical items and unique Pals. The Feybreak DLC added new crafting materials, including the elusive Dark Fragments. Essential for crafting high-end items, these fragments are a valuable find.
How to Obtain Dark Fragments

Dark Fragments are obtained exclusively from Dark-elemental Pals found on Feybreak Island. Unlike other regions, Pals in the beach and coastal areas of Feybreak are mostly ground and water types. To find Dark-elemental Pals, venture further inland. Note that some Pals, like Starryon, are only found at night (unless they are boss variants).
Capturing or defeating these Pals (using Ultimate or Exotic Spheres is recommended) yields 1-3 Dark Fragments per encounter, though drops aren't guaranteed. Efficient hunting is key to accumulating a sufficient supply.
The following Dark-elemental Pals yield Dark Fragments. Note that boss and predator variants exist, often found in open areas or dungeons:
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 less reliable, single Dark Fragments can sometimes be found scattered across Feybreak. Thorough exploration is therefore recommended.
