Amorphous Materials are the main lootable gacha item in The First Descendant. No matter what you’re looking to unlock, whether it be a new Descendant or a weapon, chances are Amorphous Materials are involved. This guide will walk you through how to get Amorphous Materials in The First Descendant.
How to get Amorphous Materials in The First Descendant
To get Amorphous Materials, you’ll need to complete the following activities:
- Void Interceptor missions
- Operation events
- Dungeons
Amorphous Materials are a consumable item that drops from various challenges. They contain gacha rolls for weapon and Descendant research parts. To make target farming your Descendant or weapon research easier, we recommend going to the research screen in Albion. Once there, select the weapon or Descendant research you’re interested in. From there, you can check where to source the research items parts. If you want some assistance figuring out what Amorphous Materials to farm, take a look at our Descendant tier list for an idea of what characters you want to unlock.
How to open Amorphous Materials in The First Descendant
To open Amorphous Materials, you’ll need to defeat Void Interceptor bosses. Each boss opens four different types of Amorphous Materials. To check which boss you need, follow these steps:
- Go to Albion and visit Seneca by the landing strip to check on Void Intercept missions.
- Scroll through the bosses, and you’ll see what Amorphous Materials each boss can open.
- The boss will have a green tick for each Amorphous Material you currently have in your consumables inventory.
- Queue for that boss and then defeat it.
- When the boss is defeated, it will spawn a Reconstructed Device that will open your Amorphous Materials.
- Use the Amorphous Material and receive a random assortment of loot from the loot pool tied to that specific Amorphous Material type.

Bosses are unlocked by completing the prerequisite main story quest. You need to reach a similar level to the boss in question, otherwise, they’ll remain locked. Once you hit both prerequisites, you’ll see what Amorphous Material type a boss can open. If you have that material, you can now go ahead and defeat the boss, use the device, and open the Amorphous Material.
In some instances, you may also need to open Amorphous Materials via Void Reactors missions. Examples of this include Valby’s Materials, which are opened via missions in the Echo Swamp. We have a guide on Void Fragments and Void Shards to help you.
