The First Berserker: Khazan: Epic Material Locations & Interactive Tracking Guide

Epic Materials are The First Berserker: Khazan's highest-tier crafting and progression items — split across three distinct categories: Ghost Items that unlock and awaken Phantom companions, boss-specific crafting materials needed to craft full Armor sets at Blacksmith Qazumaka, and gear augmentation materials that power the game's late-stage gear progression system.


Every position — world pickup, boss drop, chest loot, and javelin-access item — is tracked on MapMaster's unique First Berserker: Khazan interactive maps, all 40 hand-drawn originals.


What Epic Materials Are in The First Berserker: Khazan


Epic Materials cover everything outside standard gear drops that feed into crafting, gear rerolling, and Phantom progression. Three sub-categories appear in the guide.


Ghost Items (Ghost Hammer, Ghost Shield, Ghost Hilt, Ghost Spearhead, Ghost Relic, Ghost Twin Blades, Ghost Gem) are found in the world and unlock or awaken specific Phantom companions when brought to the Phantom system at any Blade Nexus.


Boss crafting materials are unique drops tied to specific bosses — each used alongside a Scroll to craft the matching armor set at the Blacksmith.


Gear augmentation materials (Gleamstone, Luminous Golden Cube, Flash Stone, Crimson Meteorite, Fossilized Wooyo) feed into the equipment progression system. As the campaign progresses, Danjin's shop begins stocking many of these materials for purchase — reducing dependence on boss farming for specific drops.


The Augment of Wisdom: The Most Important Epic Material


The Augment of Wisdom is the most common Epic Material in the game — and the most consequential. Its function: it resets the escalating cost from rerolling gear attributes.


Each time you reroll a piece of gear at the Blacksmith, the cost of the next reroll increases. The Augment of Wisdom wipes that escalation and restores the base cost. Without it, repeated rerolling of the same piece becomes prohibitively expensive. With it, targeted gear optimisation remains feasible throughout the endgame.


Critically, the Augment of Wisdom drops from every story boss and side mission boss in the game — from Yetuga in Mount Heinmach through Ozma in the Imperial Palace.


It also appears as world floor pickups across dozens of mid-to-late areas and drops from elite enemies. It's also the only Epic Material that appears in large stacks from world loot alongside the rarer items — making it the most reliable material to farm from any boss replay.


Ghost Items: Unlocking and Awakening Phantom Companions


Seven Ghost Items are hidden across the game, each tied to a specific Phantom companion. Several require a javelin to collect — the javelin is introduced as a mechanic in Stormpass and Skoffa Cave:


  • Ghost Hammer (Skoffa Cave) — on a corpse tangled in a spider web. Shoot the web with a javelin to cut it down. A second Ghost Hammer is in a chest in Rephalan Mountains behind spider eggs. Unlocks Wulfric the Resilient.


  • Ghost Relic (Palemion Citadel) — on a wooden platform hanging by a rope. Shoot the rope with a javelin to drop the platform and collect the item. A second Ghost Relic is in the Temple of Shadows - The Vow, hidden room chest.


  • Ghost Shield (Mine No. 2 Workyard - Escaping Linon Mine) — on a corpse tangled in spider web near a bridge. Javelin required. A second Ghost Shield is a possible chest drop in Vaisar Gate, and a third is a world pickup in the Outskirts of Vitalon.


  • Ghost Hilt (El Ravaca Village) — sitting on a pipe above an elevator. Drop from the ledge above to reach it. The drop ledge position is cross-linked in the checklist entry. A second Ghost Hilt is on a wooden platform in Aldevir Central District, reachable by dropping from above.



  • Ghost Spearhead — found in a chest in Rovelion Imperial Theatre and as a floor pickup in Temple of Shadows.


Boss Crafting Materials: Every Set's Required Drop


Each story and major side mission boss drops a unique crafting material on defeat — used alongside the matching Scroll at Blacksmith Qazumaka to craft the full set.


Every boss material also has at least one world floor pickup location, marked in the guide for players who want to start crafting without waiting for the boss drop:


  • Frozen Mountain Ruler's Horn — Yetuga (Mount Heinmach), Yeturak (Mine No. 2 Workyard). Crafts Frozen Mountain set.
  • Netherworld Mineral — Blade Phantom (Stormpass), Keshta the Unyielding (Stormpass). Crafts Soul Eater set.
  • Fallen Lord's Claws — Viper (Embars Ruins), Mutated Xilence (Abandoned Citadel). World pickup in Vitalon Residence (×3).
  • Guardian's Hooves — Volbaino (Phraugh Village), Specter of Bhangau (Bhangau Residence). World pickup in the Rephalan Mountains (×3).
  • Man-Eating Spider Leg — Aratra (Skoffa Cave), Netherworld Aratra (Vitalon Underground Passage). World pickup in the Rephalan Mountains (×3).
  • Bandits' Spoil — Rangkus (Palemion Citadel), Bringkus (Forgotten Underground Canal). World pickup in Vaisar Gate (×3).
  • Chaos Fragment — Maluca (Nadin Quarry). World pickup in Rovelion Imperial Theatre (×3). Crafts Chaos-Ridden set.
  • Witch's Tentacle — Trokka (Lake City Aldevir). World pickup in Hidden Laboratory Chamber - Valus's Axe (×3, inside a liquid tube — destroy it with a weapon). Crafts Drowned Witch set.

  • Beast's Jawbone — Shactuka (Linon Mine), Completed Yerid (El Ravaca Sector No. 4). World pickup in El Ravaca Sector No. 4 (×3).
  • Hermit's Enchanted Stone — Bellerian (Rephalan Mountains).
  • Blood-Soaked Stoneshard — Skalpel (Vaisar Gate). World pickup in Imperial Palace (×3).
  • Princess's Mirror — Princess Ilyna (Rovelion Imperial Theatre). World pickup in Imperial Palace (×3). Crafts Unending Tragedy set — the top Dual Wield Weapon set in the game.
  • Tears of Farewell — world pickup in Imperial Palace (×3). Crafts Faded Memories set.


Gear Augmentation Materials


Gleamstones, Luminous Golden Cubes, Flash Stones, Crimson Meteorites, and Fossilized Wooyo are gear progression materials found in mid-to-late areas.


Gleamstones appear from Rovelion Imperial Theatre onward. Luminous Golden Cubes concentrate in the Capital City Vitalon, the Imperial Palace, and the Temple of Shadows.


Flash Stones appear in Lake City Aldevir and Capital City Vitalon.


Crimson Meteorites appear in Vaisar Gate (×2). Fossilized Wooyo (×2) is behind a hidden door in Imperial Palace — one of the rarest pickups in the guide.
