Demonite Fragments are required to complete the Demonite Core questline, which is the first step toward farming Calamity Seals and unlocking late-game content like Anos. Many new players get stuck here simply because they do not know where to look.
This guide explains the exact locations and the fastest way to collect both fragments without wasting time.
Step 1 — Start the Demonite Core Quest
First, go to Academy Island.
Once you arrive:
- Find the Demonite Core Quest NPC.
- Talk to the NPC.
- Accept the quest to find two Demonite Fragments.
This quest must be active before you can pick up the fragments.
Step 2 — First Demonite Fragment Location
The first fragment is located close to the main quest area on Academy Island.
How to find it quickly:
- Move away from the NPC toward the nearby structures.
- Look around ground-level spots rather than high areas.
- The fragment appears as a small glowing object.
Since it is placed in an open area, it is usually easy to spot once you know where to look.
Step 3 — Second Demonite Fragment Location
The second fragment is located further away on the island.
To reach it quickly:
- Follow the outer path of the island.
- Check near environmental objects such as rocks or edges.
- Like the first one, it appears as a glowing collectible item.
Once you pick it up, the quest requirement will be completed instantly.
Step 4 — Complete the Quest
After collecting both fragments:
- The quest automatically completes.
- You unlock the next stage of progression.
- You can now focus on farming Calamity Seals.
This entire process usually takes only a few minutes when you know the locations.
Fast Collection Tips from Experienced Players
Players who complete this step quickly usually follow these simple strategies:
Move directly to both locations without fighting enemies. The fragments are collectibles, not drops, so combat is unnecessary.
Keep the quest active. If you pick up fragments before accepting the quest, they will not count.
Stay on Academy Island. Both fragments are located there, so there is no need to travel elsewhere.
