Obtaining and effectively utilizing the Fist of Darkness is crucial for high-level gameplay in Blox Fruits, unlocking powerful items and advantages. This comprehensive guide will walk you through every step, from finding the Fist of Darkness to using it to summon and defeat the Sea Beast, and ultimately, what rewards you can expect.
## What is the Fist of Darkness?
The Fist of Darkness is a rare item in Blox Fruits, essential for initiating Sea Events, specifically summoning the terrifying Sea Beast. Defeating the Sea Beast is necessary for obtaining various valuable items, including the Haki V2 upgrade and the powerful Leviathan Heart. It’s essentially a key to accessing some of the most challenging and rewarding content the game offers.
## Prerequisites
Before embarking on your quest for the Fist of Darkness, ensure you meet the following prerequisites:
* **Level Requirement:** While there’s no hard level requirement to *find* the Fist of Darkness, you’ll need to be a reasonably high level to effectively combat the Sea Beast that you’ll summon with it. Aim for at least level 1500+, and preferably closer to max level (2550). A good fruit, fighting style or sword is also required to defeat the Sea Beast.
* **Fighting Capability:** Be prepared for a challenging fight. The Sea Beast is a formidable opponent, especially for lower-level players. Make sure you have a decent fruit with good damage output (like Dragon, Dough, or Magma), a solid fighting style (like Godhuman or Superhuman), or a powerful sword (like True Triple Katana or Dark Blade). Allies are highly recommended, especially if you are underleveled.
* **Boat:** A boat is essential for traversing the seas and locating the Fist of Darkness, as well as for battling the Sea Beast. Consider using a fast and durable boat like the Boat or the Merry.
* **Patience:** Finding the Fist of Darkness can be a time-consuming process, requiring server hopping and persistence. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t find it right away.
## Where to Find the Fist of Darkness
The Fist of Darkness spawns randomly in chests throughout the Second and Third Seas. It *does not* spawn in the First Sea. This means you’ll need to have reached at least the Second Sea to even have a chance of finding it. Here’s a breakdown of where to look:
* **General Chest Locations:** The Fist of Darkness can appear in any chest location within the Second and Third Seas. These are the same locations where you typically find beli and fragments. Some common locations include:
* **Prison Island (Second Sea):** Check the rooftops, inside the prison cells, and behind buildings.
* **Colosseum (Second Sea):** Look on top of the Colosseum, inside the stands, and around the surrounding area.
* **Magma Village (Second Sea):** Search inside the houses, on the volcano slopes, and near the lava pools (be careful not to fall in!).
* **Underwater City (Second Sea):** Explore the buildings and tunnels underwater.
* **Green Zone (Second Sea):** Check inside the giant mushroom structures.
* **Mansion (Second Sea):** Explore the garden, inside the house, and on the roof.
* **Ice Castle (Second Sea):** Check inside the castle, on the walls and towers, and around the surrounding area.
* **Hot and Cold (Third Sea):** Check both sides of the island. Check the volcano and the snowy mountains for chests.
* **Hydra Island (Third Sea):** Look inside and outside the snake heads.
* **Great Tree (Third Sea):** Search the different levels of the tree.
* **Floating Turtle (Third Sea):** Explore the top of the turtle.
* **Castle on the Sea (Third Sea):** Check the walls, towers and interior.
* **Port Town (Third Sea):** Search the buildings and docks.
* **Haunted Castle (Third Sea):** Inside the main building and surrounding areas.
* **Sea of Treats (Third Sea):** The various islands offer a few spawn locations.
* **Chest Spawn Rate and Respawn Time:** Chests generally respawn every few minutes (around 5-10 minutes). The Fist of Darkness has an extremely low spawn rate within these chests, estimated to be around 1-2%. This means you might have to check hundreds of chests before you find one.
## The Search Strategy: Server Hopping
Due to the low spawn rate, the most effective method for finding the Fist of Darkness is server hopping. This involves joining a server, checking as many chest locations as possible, and then leaving and joining a new server to repeat the process. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
1. **Choose Your Starting Location:** Pick a location with a high concentration of chests, such as Prison Island, Colosseum, or Magma Village in the Second Sea, or Hot and Cold, Hydra Island, or Great Tree in the Third Sea.
2. **Check All Chest Locations Methodically:** Thoroughly search every possible chest location in your chosen area. Don’t miss any spots, even the ones that seem unlikely.
3. **Server Hop:** If you don’t find the Fist of Darkness after checking all the chests in your area, immediately leave the server and join a new one.
4. **Repeat:** Continue repeating steps 2 and 3 until you finally find the Fist of Darkness.
**Tips for Efficient Server Hopping:**
* **Use a Fast Character Build:** Use a fast fruit (like Light or Quake with flight), fighting style (like Sanguine Art), or transformation (like Dragon or Kitsune) to quickly traverse the map and check chest locations.
* **Remember Chest Locations:** Familiarize yourself with the common chest spawn points to optimize your search.
* **Don’t Waste Time:** If a chest has already been looted (is open), don’t wait for it to respawn. Immediately move on to the next location or server hop.
* **Consider Using a Private Server:** If you have access to a private server, it can significantly increase your chances of finding the Fist of Darkness, as you won’t have to compete with other players for chests.
## Using the Fist of Darkness to Summon the Sea Beast
Once you’ve finally obtained the Fist of Darkness, it’s time to use it to summon the Sea Beast. Here’s how:
1. **Equip the Fist of Darkness:** Make sure the Fist of Darkness is in your inventory and selected.
2. **Find a Suitable Location:** Sail to the open sea, far away from any islands. This is crucial to ensure the Sea Beast has enough space to spawn and maneuver. It’s usually best to go to the very edge of the map.
3. **Activate the Fist of Darkness:** With the Fist of Darkness equipped, click on the screen (or press the appropriate button on your device). This will initiate the summoning process.
4. **Darkness Engulfs the Sea:** The screen will darken, and a message will appear indicating that the Sea Beast is approaching. This is your cue to prepare for battle!
**Important Considerations:**
* **Timing:** There’s no specific time of day or night required to use the Fist of Darkness. You can summon the Sea Beast at any time.
* **Server Limit:** Only one Sea Beast can be spawned per server at a time. If someone else has already summoned a Sea Beast, you’ll have to wait until it’s defeated or despawns before you can use your Fist of Darkness.
* **Group Play:** It’s highly recommended to team up with other players to fight the Sea Beast. Coordinate your attacks and strategies for a higher chance of success.
## Battling the Sea Beast
The Sea Beast is a formidable opponent with high health and powerful attacks. Here’s what you need to know to defeat it:
* **Sea Beast Attacks:** The Sea Beast has several different attacks, including:
* **Bite:** A direct bite attack that deals significant damage.
* **Tail Swipe:** A wide-range tail swipe that can knock players off their boats.
* **Water Cannon:** A ranged attack that shoots a stream of water.
* **Roar:** A stunning roar that can temporarily disable players.
* **Strategies and Tips:**
* **Maintain Distance:** Try to maintain a safe distance from the Sea Beast to avoid its melee attacks.
* **Focus Fire:** Coordinate your attacks with your teammates to focus fire on the Sea Beast and quickly deplete its health.
* **Use Long-Range Attacks:** Utilize long-range fruits, fighting styles, or swords to attack the Sea Beast from a distance.
* **Heal Regularly:** Bring healing items or use fruits with healing abilities to sustain yourself during the fight.
* **Avoid Knockback:** Watch out for the Sea Beast’s attacks that can knock you off your boat. If you get knocked off, quickly swim back to your boat to avoid drowning.
* **Utilize Boat Cannons:** If you have a boat with cannons, use them to deal additional damage to the Sea Beast.
* **Recommended Fruits/Fighting Styles/Swords:**
* **Fruits:** Dragon, Dough, Magma, Light, Buddha (for support)
* **Fighting Styles:** Godhuman, Superhuman, Dragon Talon, Electric Claw, Sanguine Art
* **Swords:** True Triple Katana, Dark Blade, Cdk (Cursed Dual Katana)
## Rewards for Defeating the Sea Beast
Defeating the Sea Beast offers several valuable rewards:
* **Fragments:** You’ll receive a significant amount of fragments, which can be used to purchase various items and upgrades from NPCs.
* **Beli:** You’ll also receive a substantial amount of beli, which can be used to buy weapons, accessories, and other items.
* **Haki V2 Requirement:** Defeating the Sea Beast *multiple times* is required for unlocking Haki V2. You must speak with the Mysterious Man in the Cafe in the Second Sea who will send you on a quest to defeat a Sea Beast. He will *only* give you the quest if you are at least level 1850.
* **Leviathan Heart:** This is the most sought-after reward. The Leviathan Heart is a key ingredient for crafting the powerful Leviathan Crown, a valuable accessory that provides various buffs.
* **Other Rare Items:** The Sea Beast can also drop other rare items, such as rare weapons or accessories.
## Obtaining the Leviathan Heart
The Leviathan Heart is not guaranteed to drop every time you defeat the Sea Beast. It has a relatively low drop rate, meaning you might have to defeat the Sea Beast multiple times before you obtain one. The Leviathan Heart is required to summon and defeat the Leviathan.
**Tips for Increasing Your Chances:**
* **Team Up:** Teaming up with other players can increase your chances of dealing enough damage to the Sea Beast to qualify for the Leviathan Heart drop.
* **High Damage Output:** Using fruits, fighting styles, or swords with high damage output can also increase your chances.
* **Persistence:** Don’t give up! Keep fighting the Sea Beast until you eventually obtain the Leviathan Heart.
## Summoning the Leviathan
Once you have the Leviathan Heart, you can use it to summon the Leviathan, an even more challenging Sea Event than the Sea Beast. Defeating the Leviathan is essential for obtaining end-game rewards, like the Leviathan Crown and other powerful items.
**Steps to Summon the Leviathan:**
1. **Obtain the Leviathan Heart:** As mentioned earlier, you need to defeat Sea Beasts until you get this rare drop.
2. **Find the Leviathan Caller Island:** This island spawns randomly on the map, often in the Third Sea. It’s a small island with a distinctive structure used to summon the Leviathan. The Leviathan Caller Island can only be found during a full moon, making finding the island already challenging.
3. **Insert the Leviathan Heart:** Once you are at the Leviathan Caller Island, insert the Leviathan Heart into the designated slot on the island.
4. **Wait for the Leviathan:** After inserting the heart, the Leviathan will begin to appear. This is a very challenging fight, and it’s recommended to bring a large group of well-equipped players.
## Additional Tips and Tricks
* **Join a Blox Fruits Community:** Joining a Blox Fruits community on Discord or other platforms can help you find teammates to fight the Sea Beast and Leviathan with, as well as share tips and strategies.
