Palworld: Unearthing the Secrets of Dark Fragments and Their Uses
Pocketpair's Palworld, renowned for its expansive open world and diverse Pals, presents players with a constant stream of new discoveries. The Feybreak DLC significantly expanded this, introducing numerous crafting materials, including the enigmatic Dark Fragments. Essential for crafting high-level accessories, these fragments are a valuable find.
Obtaining Dark Fragments
Dark Fragments aren't easily found; knowing where to look is key. Unlike the more common Paldium, these fragments require targeted effort. They are obtained by capturing or defeating specific Dark-elemental Pals, some of which are boss or predator variants located throughout Feybreak's open areas and dungeons. Note that obtaining Dark Fragments isn't guaranteed with every capture or kill.
