Dark Pals can be some of the most dangerous enemies in Palworld, with attacks capable of inflicting Blind and disrupting their targets during combat.
A fully developed Dark Pal can already handle difficult encounters, but pushing one beyond its normal limits can turn a powerful fighter into an even greater threat.
Dark Radiant Gems are what you need to create the Awakening Crystal, giving your best Dark Pal another permanent boost for the endgame.
Where To Get Dark Radiant Gem?
Dark Radiant Gems can be obtained by defeating several different Pals throughout the World Tree, giving you multiple ways to hunt for the material.
Loomen and Majex stand out as practical farming targets because they spawn frequently around the Spore Cloister and Corroded Hollow, respectively.
The material can also be obtained through World Tree Expeditions, fishing, treasure chests, and the Ancient Relic Recycler.
World Tree Dark Pals
The following Pals can be encountered throughout the World Tree and hunted down to obtain Dark Radiant Gems.
- Gloopie Primo – Water/Neutral
- Majex – Dark/Fire
- Dualith Noct – Ground/Dark
- Celesdir Noct – Dark
- Loomen – Dark/Fire
- Dandilord – Grass/Dark
Loomen can be found around the Spore Cloister, while Majex appears around the Corroded Hollow, making both useful targets when you want to repeatedly hunt for Dark Radiant Gems.
Dandilord is also a source, but its dungeon boss encounter makes it less convenient for continuous farming.
Other Ways To Get Dark Radiant Gems
World Tree Expeditions can provide Dark Radiant Gems as rewards, giving you a passive way to build your supply between hunting runs.
Fishing throughout the World Tree can also reward Dark Radiant Gems, allowing you to collect the material while working on other resources.
World Tree treasure chests can contain Dark Radiant Gems as well, giving you another opportunity to find them while exploring the region.
Ancient Relics can be processed through the Ancient Relic Recycler for a chance to obtain Dark Radiant Gems alongside its other rewards.
Dark Radiant Gem Uses
Dark Radiant Gems are primarily used to craft Dark Awakening Crystals, which are consumed to permanently strengthen compatible Dark Pals.
Each Dark Awakening Crystal requires 50 Dark Radiant Gems and 10 World Tree Holy Water, making the material important when preparing a Dark Pal for Awakening.
Using the crystal permanently increases the Pal’s Health, Attack, and Defense, while also giving the awakened Pal the distinctive golden aura associated with Awakening.
Verdict
Dark Radiant Gems are worth collecting when you have a Dark Pal that has already proven itself and you want to push its performance further.
Loomen and Majex are your best options for repeated hunting, with their frequent appearances making them much more convenient than waiting on a boss encounter.
Build up your supply whenever you are in their areas, then use the finished Awakening Crystal on the Dark Pal you intend to carry into the hardest endgame fights.
