The First Descendant offers a lot for players, including various Descendants to unlock, play, and progress, along with engaging missions that provide valuable rewards. Amorphous Material is a crucial resource in The First Descendant, essential for researching new characters and options in Albion. However, understanding how this system works can be confusing. After playing for a while, players may have some Amorphous Material in their inventory, but newcomers might struggle to figure out how to make it useful.
Understanding how to obtain and open Amorphous Materials is highly beneficial. If you’re unsure how to get or open these materials, here’s a guide to help you understand how Amorphous Material works in The First Descendant.

How to Get Amorphous Material
You can obtain Amorphous Material from various open-world missions, but note that the drop is not guaranteed. Each mission has a percentage chance of dropping the material, indicated in the rewards list.
Acquiring the Amorphous Material
The missions are:
- Zone Recon missions
- Void Intercepts
- Special Operations
- Mine Blocking
Amorphous Material comes in different types, identified by their “pattern” number. Each pattern contains specific components used to craft new weapons or descendants.
Contained Items in Amorphous Material
When opening an Amorphous Material, you’ll receive one of its contained items, though the one you get will be random. For example, an Amorphous Material Pattern 001 always has the same four components. If you need a specific part and don’t get it the first time, you will need to farm the mission that drops that particular Amorphous Material.
You can hover over the Amorphous Material in your inventory and press the F key to bring up the Acquisition info, which tells you where the item came from
How to Use Amorphous Material
In The First Descendant, Amorphous Material needs to be converted into usable resources for research using Reconstructed Devices. These devices become available after specific missions and boss fights. However, not just any Reconstructed Device will work; it must match the pattern of the Amorphous Material.

- Using Reconstructed Devices
- When you have Amorphous Material in your inventory, access the Consumable menu and check the Material Pattern.
- Open the sub-menu “Linked Reconstructed Device Info” to find out which mission or boss you need to defeat to access the correct device.
- These missions are typically either Void Fusion Reactors, which unlock after breaking enough of The First Descendant Void Fragments, or Void Intercepts, the major boss fights navigated through the main map screen like the Grave Walker and Stunning Beauty.
- After completing these missions, a Reconstructed Device (a green globe in a metal brace) will appear nearby.
- Interact with the device to use it once, converting/opening a single piece of compatible Amorphous Material.
- The result is randomized, with different blueprints linked to various Material Patterns and different percentages of winning.
Selecting Amorphous Material to Open
Upon opening the Amorphous Material, the Reconstructed Device gives you components that are required as Research Materials to create new Descendants and Weapons.
For specific details, speaking to Anais in Albion is helpful, as she can provide information on the exact Research Materials needed. Additionally, you can review acquisition details for each Research Material to determine their sources and plan accordingly
