Question about mid/late game

SpoilerQuestion

So I defeated the dragon and now there is chaos among the land, Gran Soren is in shambles, and I have to find 20 Wakestone shards.

Should I just use a guide to find the shards? I’m really curious about what happens next in the story to the point I almost want to just spoil it for myself cause the 20 shard fetch quest seems like it’s gonna take a while. Any advice?

they drop from strong enemies in the various chambers you can access in the chasm that just opened up.
The game doesn't tell you, but you can either fall into a platform and faceplant on it, or press the grapple button to automatically land on it (you can skip the minicutscene that plays every time). You don't need any guide, just explore the chambers (no, you can't open the locked doors) and you'll get them easily

Ok that makes me feel a lot better. It was weird cause there was the same tentacle monster in every room and I wasn’t doing any damage so I assumed I had to find them elsewhere. Guess I have to find a way to kill it lol

the tentacles that spawn from the ground like the ones you met earlier in the game can't be permanently killed, they will keep respawning, but don't give any exp or drops.
There's another tentacled boss monster which has a barrier that makes it invulnerable. The barrier only protects things near its body (so not the tentacles if they teleport away) and can be dropped if certain things happen, but i'll let you discover them because they can be pretty funny when you notice them for the first time

It has a damage barrier that prevents all damage until either all of its tentacles are killed or it starts casting spells.

The Everfall is full of monsters and chests. They drop wakestones and wakestone shards fairly often. I usually get about 40 or 60 before I go finish it so I have several extra around if I need them.

Also I found out later that killing offline or online Ur-Dragon nets like 20 immediately.

It’s 20 wakestones, not shards. You’ll find shards too, but there are 3 of them per wakestone.

It’s honestly not that bad, just start dropping down into the various chambers and killing what’s inside. Sometimes you’ll get 3 or 4 wakestones per chamber, sometimes you’ll get just one or two shards. Check the chests as well. Shards can be in those.

I forgot to have 20 on hand before starting my first “speed”run attempt a few weeks ago, so I had to collect all 20 during the run, and it took maybe 30 minutes give or take.

The Everfall can be fun to explore the first time, though, so maybe you’ll not want to rush it. But either way, it goes fairly quickly. Sometimes the larger enemies will drop multiple stones.

Thanks! I guess I have to figure out how to kill the gorgon eye monster . That thing seemed way out of my league

Yeah, the first time through it can seem a bit intimidating, and some of the chambers (Fate, cough cough) can be brutal. But a lot of them have fairly mundane enemies. If one seems too difficult, try a different one.

The evil eye you do have to defeat, but with Grigori weapon(s) it should be doable.

Good luck.

You have to kill this to access any other chambers

Jump into the pit(The Everfall) any room you choose at first will yield the same boss, you must defeat it to progress further. Pay attention closely to the boss, it is invulnerable the majority of the time and is only vulnerable during specific attacks. If you attack enough while it is vulnerable you can stagger it for a long period of time and cash in some considerable damage. Also bring petrification resistance/cures. Good Luck Arisen🤘🏼

Honestly you acquire them so fast in the everfall it should take maybe and hour at most to get the bare minimum of 20. Get a few more so you have them in your ng
