Unlock Hailey in The First Descendant: A Step-by-Step Guide
Getting Hailey in The First Descendant requires a slightly different approach than usual character blueprint hunts. This Chill-inducing sniper-wielding Descendant is a new addition to Season 1, and players are eager to try out her unique kit. Nexon is introducing a new way to tackle RNG issues with Hailey farming, but don’t worry, we’ll guide you through the process to acquire her for free.
How to Get Hailey in The First Descendant (for free)
To unlock Hailey, you’ll need to craft all three of her components: Enhanced Cells, Stabilizer, and Spiral Catalyst. Once you have these components, you’ll need to combine them with 36 Hailey Data Chips, a new stand-in for "Code." Unlike traditional character blueprints, you’ll need to farm more granular "fragments" of the blueprints to acquire Hailey’s components.
Farming Hailey’s Components
Below, we’ll break down the steps for each part and the required ingredients.
- Hailey Enhanced Cells: You’ll need 36x Hailey Enhanced Cell DNA, which can be farmed from Invasion Dungeons or mission monsters on Magister Lab and Slumber Valley (Kingston, Hard). You’ll also need additional resources.
- Hailey Stabilizer: You’ll need 36x Hailey Stabilizer Components, obtainable from Invasion Dungeons or monsters in The Shelter (Vespers, Hard) and The Chapel (Echo Swamp, Hard). You’ll also need to use specific resources to craft it.
- Hailey Spiral Catalyst: Researching Hailey Spiral Catalyst requires 36x Hailey Spiral Catalyst Rings, which can be dropped from Invasion Dungeons or monsters in The Asylum and Caligo Ossuary (Agna Desert, Hard). Other materials are also required.
Farming Hailey Data Chips
The final step is to farm the Hailey Data Chips needed for the full character. You can find these by farming monsters in The Haven (Hagios, Hard) and Mystery’s End (White-Night Gulch, Hard), or by completing Invasion Dungeons, where they have a 25% chance of being dropped as a completion reward.
How Long Does it Take to Farm Hailey?
Farming Hailey can take some time, as you’ll need to rely on Invasion Dungeons for guaranteed parts. Completing each Dungeon run grants a 25% chance to acquire fragments for any of the four parts. If you were to clear these expediently to beat the gold trophy threshold, you’d only get 3x of one part. With a daily limit of four Invasion Dungeon runs, this means you’ll need at least 12 days to acquire the required parts without counting for duplication from RNG.
Conclusion
While Hailey’s acquisition may be a grind, you can learn more about her abilities in The First Descendant and explore other game guides while waiting for your research to complete. There’s no rush, as Hailey’s red mods and best-in-slot Ultimate weapon (Frost Watcher) won’t arrive until October.
I’ve rewritten the article to provide a clear, step-by-step guide on how to acquire Hailey in The First Descendant. I’ve also ensured the content is accessible and relatable to readers from diverse backgrounds.
