What Divine Shards Are For

Divine Shards are spent in an exchange, and that is how the talk around them splits: the captured community thread asks what to spend shards on, not where to find them. A recruitment guide captured alongside lists Ochlys as obtained through a shard exchange.

Where the shards come from is the weak half of this page, stated plainly below.

The Ochlys Chain, Step by Step

Two guide sites and the community thread agree on this chain's shape.

  1. Complete The Winged Knight

    Two independent guide sites describe this side quest as where Ochlys appears and Sharon is rescued.

  2. Accept Sharon

    Both guide sites give accepting Sharon as the precondition; a thread comment repeats it.

  3. Collect shards and exchange them

    Everyone names the exchange; where it is and when it opens are not covered.

  4. Ochlys joins after enough exchanges

    Sources agree on the outcome, not the count: one guide says 30, another says 15, and neither was checked against the current version.

Where Shards Come From

Acquisition has one direction here, from a single player: shards can be mined, and Cornia's spots supposedly yield them less often than later regions. One person's account, reported as such.

Full acquisition guides appear in this query's search results, but their bodies were not retrieved, so no location list is offered.

What Players Suggest Exchanging For

Exchange advice is subjective, so the captured suggestions are listed as parallel opinions.

  • One player argues for a Holy Knight Shield first, calling it a priority buy that cannot be obtained anywhere else.
  • Another recommends a Cleric Staff plus lapis and carnelian pendants as solid early purchases.
  • A third opposes the staff, saying it can be bought later anyway.
  • One commenter relays a sequence to follow: the staff, then item boosters, a feather, and the cat-ear hat.
  • Another player's view is that the game hands out plenty of shards.

If Ochlys Has Not Joined

  • Check the front of the chain first: an unfinished The Winged Knight or a declined Sharon stops the exchange from completing the chain.
  • If Sharon is in the army and shards were spent, the capture offers no further checkpoint; the count is disputed, and the exchange in-game is the only reliable check.

Evidence State and Version

This page rests on one community thread for exchange advice and guide sites for the Ochlys chain; numbers and locations are disputed or absent. Version scope is v1.05 (2024-05-27).
