Khazan: A Guide to Unique Crafting Materials in The First Berserker

Select Language:

As you explore the loot and crafting mechanics in The First Berserker: Khazan, you’ll quickly find that the best gear sets in the game require special crafting materials. These rare materials can be obtained through various means as you journey through Khazan, often by defeating specific bosses. To unlock a gear set, you’ll need to locate its corresponding scroll, which can usually be found in different regions or dropped by bosses when you defeat them.

Once you’ve acquired the scroll for a gear set, you can craft it at the blacksmith in Khazan, but only after you’ve collected all necessary materials. This is where the unique crafting materials come into play. While the process can be a bit of a grind, especially if you’re aiming for multiple sets as you advance and discover better gear options, I find that The First Berserker offers players a relatively clear, albeit sometimes tedious, way to gather the special items required for crafting.

How to Acquire Unique Crafting Materials in Khazan

You may have noticed unique crafting materials such as the Guardian’s Hooves or Netherworld Minerals appearing in your inventory after defeating challenging early bosses like Blade Phantom in The First Berserker: Khazan. However, until you unlock the blacksmith, these materials won’t be useful, so you’ll need to progress to Aratra before you can start utilizing them.

Once you have access to the blacksmith, you’ll need scrolls to unlock some of the top gear sets in the game. For instance, the Fallen Guardian set requires Guardian’s Hooves, which you might already have if you defeated Volbaino.

Finding Unique Crafting Materials

There are several ways to obtain unique crafting materials. One of the easiest methods is buying three unique items from Danjin, the jar enthusiast, who offers various crafting materials after you’ve acquired their respective types by taking down the connected bosses. Note that these purchases are limited in stock and will require a certain amount of Lacrima.

Materials can also be found during missions, typically scattered throughout areas as you progress through the game. For example, you can find three Fallen Lord’s Claws during the "Birth of Evil" mission in Capital City Vitalon, and three Blood-Soaked Stoneshards in the final "Master of Chaos" mission.

However, the main way to gather unique crafting materials is by farming individual bosses after you’ve defeated them. Each crafting material is a random drop from a specific boss, who will also likely drop various pieces of the associated gear set. As you continue leveling up, this method will be your primary source for accruing the materials needed to craft better gear.

All Unique Crafting Materials & Where to Find Them

Most bosses in the game are tied to specific armor sets and corresponding unique crafting materials. While each of these materials is crucial for crafting, you can also discover them during the main story missions, where you should keep an eye out as you traverse different areas. There are a total of 14 unique crafting materials. Depending on how you choose to play, you might not need to farm every boss, so it’s best to focus on those that align with your preferred weapon.

For instance, if you favor using a spear, targeting the Fallen Lord’s Claws early on can help you complete the Fallen Lord’s set. Similarly, exploring for Witch’s Tentacle can lead you to the Drowned Witch set, which is a strong contender for a spear build alongside the Crushed Dreams set.

Overview of Unique Crafting Materials

Here’s a breakdown of unique crafting materials, the associated bosses, and the missions where additional materials can be found:

In summary, unique crafting materials are vital in The First Berserker: Khazan if you aim to equip the best armor and gear. Keep your success rate high when taking down bosses, and remember that buying some of the materials from Danjin can make completing your gear set much easier without excessive farming.
