Pocketpair's Palworld, renowned for its expansive open-world exploration, offers a constant stream of mystical items and Pals.

Unlike the more common Paldium, these fragments are vital for crafting high-tier accessories, making their acquisition a Feybreak priority.

How to Acquire Dark Fragments in Palworld

To obtain Dark Fragments, hunt Dark-elemental Pals exclusively found on Feybreak Island. This doesn't apply to Dark-elemental Pals in other regions.
