Blox Fruits Beginner Guide: Second Sea Walkthrough

Raids: How They Work

Raids are repeatable 5-island dungeons that reward fragments and unlock fruit awakening. Only certain fruits can be awakened: Flame, Ice, Sand, Dark, Light, Magma, Quake, Buddha, Spider, Rumble, Phoenix, and Dough. If you’re using any of these fruits, awakening them should be a top priority - awakened fruits are 2-3x stronger than unawakened versions.

How to start a raid: At level 1,100+, you can buy raid microchips. Go to Hot and Cold Island, find the hidden passage (red, blue, green, blue button pattern), and talk to the raid NPC. Buy a raid microchip for 100,000 money every 2 hours, or give him any random fruit to skip the cooldown. If you’re below level 1,100, ask a higher-level player to buy the chip for you - you can still participate in raids under level 1,100.

Raid structure: Up to 8 players can join (4 per side in the colored tubes). The player with the microchip stands in the dark blue tube and activates the raid. Everyone gets teleported to Island 1 of 5. Each island spawns waves of enemies - kill them all to proceed to the next island. Island 5 spawns a boss that uses the awakened version of the raid’s fruit type. You have 15 minutes to complete all 5 islands.

Raid rewards: If you complete the raid before the 3-minute mark on the timer, you get 1,000 fragments. After 3 minutes remaining, fragment rewards scale down (closer to 0:00 = fewer fragments). If you were using the same fruit type as the raid (e.g., Flame fruit in Flame raid), you teleport to a special awakening room. Talk to the NPC to awaken one move for fragments. Moves awaken in order: Z, X, C, V, F.

Awakening costs: First move (usually Z) costs 500 fragments. Later moves cost 1,000-5,000 fragments depending on the fruit. You can only awaken ONE move per raid completion. You’ll need to do 5 raids minimum to fully awaken a fruit. Example: Awakening Dark fruit fully costs 500 + 1,000 + 1,500 + 3,000 + 5,000 = 11,000 fragments + 5 raid completions.

Raid difficulty: Early raids (Flame, Ice, Sand) are easy to solo with Buddha fruit. Late raids (Dough, Phoenix) require Advanced Chips from Third Sea and are significantly harder. Most players join public raid servers or Discord groups to find parties - solo raiding without Buddha is extremely slow.

Which fruit to awaken first? If you have Buddha, awaken it immediately - awakened Buddha makes grinding 10x faster. If not, awaken whatever Logia you’re using (Magma > Light > Ice > Flame in priority). Quake awakened is strong for PvP but terrible for grinding. Phoenix and Dough require Third Sea access.

Raids are the Second Sea endgame loop. You’ll spend dozens of hours farming fragments to fully awaken fruits. Get comfortable with the raid system - it’s mandatory progression.

Buddha Fruit: The Grinding Meta

Buddha is the best grinding fruit in the game (tied with Kitsune, but Kitsune is exponentially harder to obtain). If you don’t have Buddha by level 1,000, getting it should be a top priority.

Why Buddha dominates: The Z move transforms you into a giant Buddha with massively increased melee/sword range. You can hit enemies from 15+ studs away. Damage reduction against NPCs is insane (90%+), making you nearly unkillable. Works with any melee weapon or sword - you don’t need fruit stats to benefit. No Mastery requirement - the Z move unlocks at level 1.

How to get Buddha: It’s a Legendary fruit worth 1,200,000 money or 1,650 Robux in stock. Check the Blox Fruit Dealer every 4 hours (stock changes). Use the Second Sea Blox Fruit Gacha at Cafe (costs more but gives better odds). Trade for it - Buddha is common enough that many players have extras. Buddha is cheap in trading value despite being expensive to buy.

Buddha grinding setup: Equip Buddha, activate Z transformation. Use any melee fighting style (Superhuman, Sharkman Karate) or sword (Saber, Triple Katana, TTK). Put stats into Melee or Sword depending on your weapon. Don’t put points in Blox Fruit stat - Buddha’s strength is the transformation, not fruit damage. Group 4-5 enemies, kill them all at once with your extended range. With Buddha, you can AFK grind many zones since enemies can’t damage you.

Buddha alternatives: If you can’t get Buddha, Awakened Light or Awakened Magma are solid grinding fruits. Awakened Ice is decent. Avoid Quake/Rumble/Phoenix for grinding - they’re better for PvP.

Trading Basics

Trading unlocks at the Cafe in Second Sea. Sit at the trading tables and another player can join. You can trade fruits, game passes (permanent fruits/gamepasses), and inventory items (money, boats, etc.).

Trade value limits: Trades must be within 40% value for normal fruits. Permanent fruits have no value restriction - you can gift them freely. You can only complete 5 trades every 8 hours.

Common trades: Trading a mid-value fruit (Quake, String, Venom) for Buddha is common. Trading permanent fruits to friends. Trading away fruits you don’t use for ones you need. Many players trade awakened fruit services - they’ll awaken your fruit if you provide fragments + a tip.

Trading etiquette: Always check fruit values before offering trades (community tier lists exist). Don’t scam - your reputation in servers matters. If someone helps you with raids, trade them a fruit as thanks. Trading is peer-to-peer, so be cautious with high-value items.

Stat Reset Strategy

By level 1,000-1,100, you should know your playstyle. If your First Sea stats were wrong, reset them.

PvE grinding build: 100% Melee or Sword (if using Buddha/melee weapons). Minimum 1,800-2,500 HP from Defense (enough to survive boss combos with Aura active). Ignore Gun entirely. Only invest in Blox Fruit if using an awakened Logia for grinding.

Hybrid build: Not recommended until Third Sea when you have enough points to max 2-3 stats. Early Second Sea, specialization is better.

How to reset stats: Mansion NPC at Kingdom of Rose sells refunds for 2,500 Robux or 75,000 Fragments. Fragments option is expensive but achievable by level 1,200+ if you do raids consistently.

Second Sea grinding is all about efficiency. Buddha + correct stats + raid fragments = you’ll hit level 1,500 in 2-3 weeks of casual play instead of 2+ months.

Swan Glasses: Best Second Sea Accessory

Swan Glasses are arguably the best accessory in Second Sea. +25% movement speed, +8% damage, +8% defense, -8% cooldown reduction, +250 HP, +250 energy.

Requirements: Must be level 1,000+. Must give the NPC at Mansion an expensive fruit (1 million+ value). Recommended fruits to give: Quake, String, Paw, Barrier (all 1M+ value, none are top-tier for grinding). Don’t give him Buddha, Light, or Magma - you might need those.

How to get: Give the Mansion NPC a 1M+ fruit to unlock permanent access to Swan’s room. Swan (boss) spawns in his room every 30 minutes. Server hop until you find him. Defeat Swan - he’s not particularly hard, just has high HP. Swan Glasses have a 2.5% drop rate. Expect to kill Swan 40-50 times before you get them.

Is it worth it? Absolutely. Movement speed alone is game-changing for grinding efficiency. The stat bonuses stack with everything else. Wear Swan Glasses until Third Sea when better accessories unlock.

Race V2 and V3 Upgrades

First Sea races barely mattered. Second Sea races are important. V3 races unlock powerful abilities that help in combat.

Race V2 requirements: Must be level 850+. Must complete the Colosseum prisoner quest (part of Bartileo/Baro quest chain). Go to Green Zone Island, find the NPC near the giant flower. Collect 3 flowers scattered around the map (video guides show locations). Return to NPC, buy Race V2 for 500,000 money.

Race V2 buffs: Human - damage reduction. Shark - water speed buff. Angel - faster jump/flight. Rabbit - increased dash speed. Buffs are minor but noticeable.

Race V3 requirements: Must be level 1,000+. Must defeat Swan (Second Sea version) and get access to his room (see Swan Glasses section). Go to large flower bed at Kingdom of Rose. Complete race-specific quest - each race has different requirements. Human: Defeat 3 specific bosses. Rabbit: Collect 30 chests. Shark: Defeat specific NPCs. Angel: Defeat specific NPCs. Quests are straightforward but time-consuming.

Race V3 buffs: Each race gets a unique ability hotkey. Human - Last Resort (damage reduction + buff when low HP). Shark - Water Body (damage reduction + HP regen in water). Angel - Heavenly Blood (HP + energy regen over time). Rabbit - Agility (massive speed boost). V3 abilities are great for boss fights and PvP.

Race V3 cost: 2,000,000 money after completing the quest. Worth every penny - the active abilities are extremely strong.

New Races: Ghoul and Cyborg

Two exclusive races unlock in Second Sea through quests. Both require significant effort but are top-tier races.

Ghoul Race: Ghoul V3 is one of the best grinding races. Life leech on every hit. Abilities on 40% reduced cooldown. Extra movement speed. To unlock Ghoul, you need the Hellfire Torch (2% drop from Cursed Captain raid boss). Complete the quest at the Experimic NPC (hidden in zombie cave). Ghoul is hard to get but worth it for grinding.

Cyborg Race: Cyborg V3 is one of the best PvP races. Large AOE ability with high damage. Defensive buffs. To unlock Cyborg, you need to complete a long quest chain involving defeating specific bosses and collecting items. Check detailed guides for Cyborg unlock - it’s too complex to fully explain here but involves the Fajita NPC and multiple steps.

Should you get them? If you’re planning to main Blox Fruits long-term, yes. Ghoul is better for PvE, Cyborg is better for PvP. Both require Race V3 upgrade (2M) after unlocking the race itself.

Raid Bosses

Cursed Captain - Spawns at Cursed Ship every night (33% chance). Requires level 1,250+ to access Cursed Ship island. Red text in chat: “A shiver runs down your spine.” Drops: Red Spikey Coat (2%), Blue Spikey Coat (2%), Hellfire Torch (1%, used for Ghoul race). Easy boss, high fragment reward (1,500 fragments).

Darkbeard - Spawns on small island near Ice Castle when summoned with Fist of Darkness. Red text in chat: “The power of darkness has been unleashed.” Drops: Dark Coat (2%, one of rarest accessories in game), 1,500 fragments, 3 levels. Requires Fist of Darkness to spawn - obtained from Sea Beasts (5% drop) or chests after server is 4 hours old. Extremely rare boss, extremely rare drops.

Strategy: Farm Cursed Captain every night for fragments and coat drops. Don’t stress about Darkbeard until you accidentally get a Fist of Darkness - it’s too rare to actively farm.

Sea Events

Sea Events spawn randomly while sailing between islands. More likely to spawn when you’re far from islands in open water.

Ship Raids - 3 enemy ships spawn and attack your boat. 1 large ship (100 fragments) + 2 small ships (50 fragments each). Total: 200 fragments + small chance for fruit drop. Enemy ship HP scales with number of players on your boat. Easy to defeat, great fragment source.

Sea Beasts - Giant sea serpent spawns and attacks. Rewards: 250 fragments, 1 level, 60K-250K money, Choppa Hat (rare drop, 1% chance), Fist of Darkness (5% drop, used to spawn Darkbeard). Sea Beast HP scales with players: 1 player = 100K HP, 2 players = 125K HP, etc. Best sea event in the game for rewards.

Strategy: Sail between islands frequently if you need fragments. Bring friends - more players = higher spawn rates for sea events. Always fight Sea Beasts - the rewards are too good to skip.

Factory Core Event

Every 1 hour 30 minutes, red text appears: “We are breaching the factory in 30 seconds.” Go to Factory (tall dome next to Cafe). Door opens, revealing a core with 200,000 HP. All players attack the core. Player with most damage gets a free fruit + chance for Acidum Rifle (rare gun). Core despawns after 5 minutes.

Strategy: If you’re online when the text appears, rush to Factory and burst damage the core. With Buddha + Sharkman Karate, you can often secure top damage. Free fruit every 90 minutes is great value.

Haki Colors (Fragment-Based)

You can customize your Haki/Aura color by spending fragments. Your Aura must be maxed level (requires consistent use from level 100+). Find the Horned Man NPC - he spawns randomly around the map. Normal colors cost 1,500 fragments. Legendary colors cost 7,500 fragments. Haki colors change your Aura outline and add colored effects to some swords/fruits.

Is it worth it? Purely cosmetic. Don’t spend fragments on Haki colors until you’ve awakened your fruit and upgraded your race. But if you have 10K+ fragments saved up, legendary Haki colors look incredible.

True Triple Katana

Mythical sword, arguably the hardest sword to obtain. Requires: Wado, Shisui, and Saddi swords (2M each, bought from Advanced Swords Dealer who spawns every 3-6 hours). 300 Mastery on all three swords. Climb to very top of giant tree at Green Zone Island. Talk to NPC at tree peak. Buy True Triple Katana for 2M. Total cost: 8M money + dozens of hours grinding sword Mastery.

Is it worth it? For sword mains, yes. For Buddha users or fruit mains, no - your time is better spent grinding levels or awakening fruits. TTK is strong but not mandatory.

Dark Blade V3

If you own the Dark Blade gamepass (Robux purchase), you can upgrade it to V3 variant (black/white color scheme). Requires: Level 1,000+, Dark Blade V2 equipped. All 4 races (Human, Shark, Angel, Rabbit) upgraded to V3 (10M total + quest completion time). Two Fist of Darkness (one to spawn Darkbeard, one to activate button at Graveyard Island). Completing the quest chain unlocks Dark Blade V3.

Important: Dark Blade V3 is purely cosmetic. No stat changes. Only pursue this if you’re a completionist or really love the aesthetic.
