Where to find and exchange Tablet Shards
Collect Tablet Shards across Final Fantasy Resonance and return them to the Enigmatic Princess at Oblivion Palace, southeast of Grandport, for rewards including Lightbringer at 99 shards. The demo contains 12 shards, and none are permanently missable, so you can recover anything you leave behind after the story.
Tablet Shard totals by region
The full collection contains 99 Tablet Shards across the regions below. Grandshelt includes a later pickup that requires Colosseum access, so its regional total is not entirely available during Chapter 1. Use the totals to organize your search without treating the opening chapter as the whole collection.
| Region | Tablet Shards |
|---|---|
| Grandshelt | 2, including the later Colosseum pickup |
| Grandport | 7 |
| Kolobos | 4 |
| Dirnado | 15 |
| Olderion | 15 |
| Zoldaad | 15 |
| Mysidia | 17 |
| Gronoa | 12 |
| Pharm | 9 |
| Crystal Tower | 3 |
Early pickup locations to check
| Place | Where to look |
|---|---|
| Royal Capital | Check the crates in the Commercial District. |
| Village of Kol | Check the pool in the southwest. |
| Felicitas | There are two hidden Tablet Shard locations. |
| Kolobos Ruins | There are two Tablet Shard locations within the ruins. |
How to collect and turn in Tablet Shards
Look for golden sparkles on the ground while exploring. These mark Tablet Shards, so watch the scenery as you move through an area.Playing this video connects to YouTube.
- Check the Royal Capital's Commercial District crates and the Village of Kol's southwest pool. Include the hidden Felicitas pickups and the Kolobos Ruins locations in your search.
- Travel to Oblivion Palace, southeast of Grandport, and return your Tablet Shards to the Enigmatic Princess. Her rewards unlock at cumulative collection milestones.
- Choose your next collection goal before heading out again. Working toward a particular reward gives your next exploration trip a clear purpose.
Oblivion Palace reward milestones
Return your collection to the Enigmatic Princess at Oblivion Palace. The cumulative reward thresholds are 3, 6, 9, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 68, 72, 76, 80, 84, 89, 94, and 99 shards. The named rewards and events below give you specific targets to work toward.
| Cumulative Tablet Shards | Reward or Event |
|---|---|
| 3 | Princess's Reward achievement |
| 12 | Stagger Ring: increases stagger power by 10% when equipped. |
| 60 | Memento memory |
| 76 | Ancient Firearm |
| 80 | Adamantite |
| 89 | Adamantite |
| 99 | Lightbringer |
The Stagger Ring is a useful early target because its equipped bonus increases stagger power by 10%. That helps you stagger enemies more quickly, including during tough boss fights. Try it on the party member you rely on to break enemies.
What you can collect in the demo
The demo and Chapter 1 provide 12 Tablet Shards, enough to unlock the first four Oblivion Palace rewards. That makes the Stagger Ring an achievable opening-chapter goal. Additional shards appear in Chapter 2 onward regions, later dungeons, and the Colosseum.
Play through the chapter naturally and pick up shards as you explore. If you still want more to do afterward, make the ring your next goal. Keeping the collectible sweep separate from your initial story progress can make the search feel more manageable.
How to recover missing shards later
Use fast travel to revisit locations where you left pickups behind. You can return to search an area without repeatedly crossing the overworld to reach it.Playing this video connects to YouTube.
- Leave the later Grandshelt shard for when you have Colosseum access. Do not count it as a pickup you should already have during the opening chapter.
- Finish the story and use free-roam to recover any remaining Tablet Shards. None are permanently missable, so an incomplete collection does not require restarting your adventure.
Choose your stopping point according to the reward you want. The trophy-related shard rewards require 89 of the 99 Tablet Shards, while Lightbringer requires the complete collection at 99. If Lightbringer is your goal, keep searching after reaching the trophy-related milestone.
