Cooling Metallic Foil is among the rare materials players can find in The First Descendant. However, to craft some of the more powerful end-game weapons and to unlock Ultimate Gley, you have to go farming for this material. Luckily, we are here to help and guide you to the best ways to farm Cooling Metallic Foil in the game.   

How to Get Cooling Metallic Foil in The First Descendant 

The First Descendant is full of materials players can collect and spend to research different Descendants, upgrades, and weapons. All the materials can be found in one or two ways in the game and Cooling Metalic Foil is no different. This material can be dropped as part of monster loot or by opening Encrypted Vaults in the White-night Gulch region.

The Best Way to Farm Cooling Metallic Foil in The First Descendant

Although there are two ways to get Cooling Metallic Foil, opening the Encrypted Vaults is drastically better. The enemies that this material can be looted from have a very small chance to drop it. Although players can go about farming Cooling Metallic Foil this way, it takes a lot of time for small gains.  

On the other hand, opening Encrypted Vaults is much easier and can give players enough to start their research. The best place to farm Vaults that can drop Cooling Metallic Foil is in The Mountaintops part of the White-night Gulch region. 

Once players are in the region, they can use the Ecive scanner and follow pings until Encrypted Vaults are located. Keep in mind that to open a Vault you have to spend a Code Analyser, so make sure you have some with you, especially if multiple tries are required. However, if you did not get the amount of Cooling Metallic Foil needed in one run, you can farm more. Simply, changing the difficulty in the world map menu will restart the instance, and you can hunt for Vaults again.

What is Cooling Metallic Foil used for in The First Descendant?

Cooling Metallic Foil is an extremely rare material in the game, and it is used to research some Ultimate Weapon parts. Moreover, it is one of the ingredients that are needed to research Gley and Ultimate Gley Descendants. Below is a list of all research projects that use Cooling Metallic Foil and the amounts needed:

  • Afterglow Sword Nano Tube Blueprint x9
  • Gley Enhanced Cells x38
  • Ultimate Gley Stabilizer x85
  • Wave of Light Nano Tube Blueprint x8   

Because this material is hard to farm, we recommend considering the priorities of research before its use. Moreover, rare materials are hard to get by, and almost all are found in Encrypted Vaults which need Code Analyzers and Breakers to open.
