How to Use Dark Matter
Dark Matter isn’t used for standalone crafting. Instead, it empowers you to enhance a specific group of accessories that require additional materials like the Quetzalcoatl Talon or Tonberry King’s Robe (obtained from world boss battles and side quests).
Before you can leverage Dark Matter’s power, you’ll need the “Ultimate Accessories” Item Transmuter Chip. This chip unlocks the ability to enhance these special accessories. To earn it, conquer the Musclehead Colosseum’s “Harmony of Discord” combat challenge.
Once you’ve collected Dark Matter, the necessary enhancement materials, and the “Ultimate Accessories” Chip, you’re ready to craft and enhance these powerful accessories.
