The First Descendant Superfluid

The First Descendant is like many looter shooters in that there are plenty of resources to acquire and farm up. It’s the nature of the grind, getting way more than you know what to do with to spend on all sorts of weapons, gear, characters, and upgrades. One such resource is from a specific source but it can be tough to find. Here’s how to get Superfluid in The First Descendant.

Where to farm Superfluid in The First Descendant

Superfluid is found exclusively in the Sterile Land region of the game, unlocked after completing all missions within Kingston. Like any region, you’ll find all sorts of Resource and Munitions Boxes scattered about. Destroy these, and you’ll have a chance to receive some Superfluid. In my time trying to farm it, I was able to get around 20-30 Superfluid per box that dropped some. With every five or so boxes dropping some, it was easy to quickly rack up a few hundred.

As for farming Superfluid, your best bet will be to land in the Repository fast travel point, head up onto the rocks on the left to open the Munitions boxes, then head to the fenced-off area on the right to open the Resource boxes. From there, fast travel to any other area in the Sterile Land then fast travel back. Repeat this process to open five crates each time, getting roughly one crate of 20-30 Superfluid per run.

What is Superfluid used for?

Superfluid is used in a variety of blueprints across The First Descendant. These range in needing quantities of 60 up to 500 or so depending on the blueprint. The full list of blueprints that require Superfluid, ordered by their cost, can be found below:

  • Nazeistra’s Devotion Nano Tube – 62 Superfluid
  • Blue Beetle Polymer Syncytium – 143 Superfluid
  • Divine Punishment Polymer Syncytium – 143 Superfluid
  • King’s Guard Lance Nano Tube – 143 Superfluid
  • Restored Relic Nano Tube – 143 Superfluid
  • Smithereens Polymer Syncytium – 143 Superfluid
  • The Final Masterpiece Nano Tube – 143 Superfluid
  • Wave of Light Synthetic Fiber – 143 Superfluid
  • Valby Enhanced Cells – 442 Superfluid
  • Lepic Stabilizer – 571 Superfluid
  • Viessa Spiral Catalyst – 571 Superfluid
  • Ultimate Bunny Stabilizer – 1,285 Superfluid
  • Ultimate Viessa Spiral Catalyst – 1,285 Superfluid

If you want to craft one of everything above, you’ll need 5,217 Superfluid. This sounds like a huge task, but if you only farm Superfluid once you need it, it isn’t all that bad. That’s especially true if you don’t go for Ultimate Bunny or Ultimate Viessa, who both account for half of all Superfluid needed to make everything.
