There are various types of crafting materials that you can loot in The First Descendant. These materials can be used to unlock weapons, characters and much more, making them a crucial aspect of this game. Among them, one very important crafting material is the Murky Energy Residue.
If you’re planning on unlocking Descendants like Valby or researching Crystallization Catalysts, then you’ll need lots of this energy residue. But you can’t find this material everywhere. Rather, it can only be farmed at certain locations. So, to help you with that, here’s how to farm Murky Energy Residue in The First Descendant.

Where To Farm Murky Energy Residue?
Murky Energy Residue can be farmed in only two missions in the Sterile Lands Region of The First Descendant. Here are both of the locations, and how much energy residue you can expect to get from clearing these missions:
- The Forgottense (Restricted Zone, Sterile Land): Located in the southeast corner of Sterile Land, this mission is one of the top spots for farming Murky Energy Residue. You’ll encounter multiple Elite Vulgus enemies that drop up to 15 Murky Energy Residues per run. The Forgottense is a quick and efficient farming location, especially when you’re using a Descendant like Bunny.
- Unknown Laboratory (Classified Area, Sterile Land): This is another mission in the northwest corner of Sterile Land, that has a similar yield of Murky Energy Residue as The Forgottense. Here, you’ll encounter Vulguses that can drop around 10 or more residues per run.
You can use fast travel between Unknown Laboratory and The Forgottense to maximize your farming efficiency, letting you farm
up to 25-40 Murky Energy Residue in a complete run.
