To maximize your potential in The First Berserker: Khazan, it is crucial to equip yourself effectively. While you can obtain weapons and armor from a variety of enemies, crafting your own gear provides a more reliable option. This process, however, hinges on acquiring specific materials, including the elusive Chaos Fragments.
Chaos Fragments stand out as some of the rarest crafting resources in The First Berserker: Khazan. These fragments are integral for creating a specialized armor set ideal for players who favor a defensive approach. Below, we’ll explore how to obtain these valuable items.
Where to Find Chaos Fragments
To collect Chaos Fragments, players must defeat Maluca, the primary boss in the Veiled Knives mission. Although he may pose a challenge initially, familiarity with his attack patterns can make the encounter significantly easier. Utilizing the Brink Guard mechanic can help players deal substantial damage effectively.
Importantly, you don’t have to replay earlier levels to confront Maluca; you can directly access the boss room by choosing the appropriate Blade Nexus. For Maluca, head to the Throne of the Veil nexus.
Strategies for Defeating Maluca
- Counterattacks can interrupt Maluca’s combos during his first phase.
- Maluca can be staggered repeatedly, so take advantage of openings to strike back.
- Remain composed during the second phase and emphasize executing Brink Guards.
- Pay attention to your timing for dodging and blocking in the later phases.
- Exercise patience unless you are confident in overwhelming Maluca with powerful attacks.
Utilizing Chaos Fragments
Chaos Fragments are primarily used for crafting the Chaos-Ridden Set, which offers several significant bonuses, including:
- (2) Brink Guard: Grants Regeneration (max 5 stacks)
- (3) Brink Guard: +4% damage increase for 10 seconds (up to 20%)
- (4) Brink Guard: 0.15 Spirit Accumulation
- (5) On Spirit Skill use: Gain Consumed
- (6) Unlock the Volcanic Wrath skill
The Consumed passive effect enhances your Stamina damage by 2% for every attack against an enemy, stacking up to 30%. Once the maximum is reached, the stacks are consumed, granting you one Spirit in return.
By now, you should have the Blacksmith available in the Crevice area. Pay him a visit to browse and craft the various armor sets he offers.
If you’re still in search of the Chaos-Ridden Scroll, it can be located during the Final Conquest side mission, which unlocks after completing the Human Xilence side mission. Look for the scroll inside a treasure chest situated in the courtyard, guarded by the Elite Dragonkin brute.
