Certain maps and missions offer the chance to get Amorphous Material, useful for code or blueprint schematics. In some instances, you may have better chances getting the Amorphous Materials by completing Interceptor missions. You may need to farm XP to reach some of the Interceptor mission-level requirements, though. If that’s not for you, some Materials drop Void Reactors. To start these missions, you need to destroy Void Fragments to collect Void Shards. You then spend the Void Shards on Fusion Reactor missions.

Enhanced Cells MaterialsLocation
246 Monad ShardsResource and munition boxes in Kingston.
430 SiliconResource and munition boxes in Echo Swamp.
38 Cooling Metallic FoilWhite Gulch’s Encrypted Vaults and Encrypted Storage Boxes.
Gley Enhanced Cells BlueprintAmorphous Materials: 12 from Stunning Beauty boss, AM 53 from Hanged Man intercept battle, AM 66 from Dead Bride hard Intercept battle, and Hard mode Fortress’ Abyssal Void Fusion Reactor in the Fortress Fallen Ark.

The Descendant, Enzo, has a passive that allows you to get into Precise Encrypted Vaults. Playing with or as that Descendant leads to more loot rewards. Complete many Interceptor missions and search for orange boxes around Echo Swamp and Kingston, and you’ll progress at a decent rate. There is quite a bit of luck involved in getting Materials to get the blueprint, though.

How to get Gley’s Stabilizer part in The First Descendant

Stabilizer MaterialsLocation
519 Metal AccelerantsSterile Land munition and resource boxes.
292 FlectoriteWhite-night Gulch munition and resource boxes.
60 Complex Carbon ActivatorsEcho Swamp missions: Seed Vault and The Chapel on normal or hard.
Gley Stabilizer BlueprintAmorphous Materials: 115 from Frost Walker hard mode Interceptor mission. Normal Vesper Fusion Reactor in the ruins. Abyssal Void Fusion Reactor in Echo Swamp Derlict Covert area on hard mode, or Void Fusion Reactor in the frozen valley on normal mode.

Metal Accelerants are fairly easy on the Sterile Land map. Look for resource boxes and munition boxes around the map to get the materials. There’s a dense spot around the base in the Restricted Area of the Sterile Lands near the fire Void Fragment mission if you’re struggling to find them. After that, go to White-Night Gulch, where resources and munitions give Flectorite.

Echo Swamp is another location worth looting with two repeatable missions that award Complex Carbon Activators. Bring an AoE Descendant to reduce the mission timers to speed up progress. As for the Blueprint, you’ll want to farm Interceptor Missions or complete the Void Fusion Reactor missions.

How to get Gley’s Spiral Catalyst part in The First Descendant

Spiral Catalyst MaterialsLocations
363 NanopolymersAgna Desert Resource and Munition boxes.
408 Ceramic CompositesWhite-night Gulch munition and resource boxes.
99 Synthesized Artificial BiometalsAgna Desert missions like The Storage Void Fusion Reactor, Vermillion Wastes and Miragestone’s Vulgus Strategic Outpost events. 
Gley Spiral Catalyst BlueprintAmprhous Materials: 50 from Hanged Man Interceptor Battle and 78 from Hard Devourer Interceptor Battle. You can also get it from Void Fusion Reactor in Miragestone in Afgna Desert, or hard mode White-night Gulch’s Abyssal Void Reactor in the Mountaintops area.

Make sure you have the Agna Desert and White-night Gulch Operation map unlocked for this because you can only get Nanoplymers from looting Agna Desert resource and munition boxes. Furthermore, you can only get Ceramic Composites from the White-night Gulch boxes. These boxes are located around pathways, ledges, cave, bases, and cover spots, so keep your eyes peeled. You can also get Flectorite here, which is needed for the Stabilizer.

You can farm the Synthesized Artificial Biometals in Strategic Outpost missions. On your area map, find the Outpost icon, typically with a timer marking a countdown to the next event. Hang around these areas, engage the relay to start the mission, and farm them till you get enough resources. As for the Blueprint, you need to farm Void Fragments to activate the Void Reactor or farm Miragestone’s Strategic Outpost similarly to how you farm Biometals.
