> **How many tablet shards: 99.**
>
> Trade them to the princess at Oblivion Palace. Her chests cost 3 shards at first, then 4, then 5, and there’s an ancient weapon at 85 and at 89 and a cutscene for all 99.

The shards are hidden around the world, and the in-game counter shows how many of 99 you have.[^1] None are missable: players say you can revisit the whole world after beating the game.[^1]

**Players who have traded with the princess**

|  | Share of PC players |
| --- | --- |
| Received a reward at Oblivion Palace | 77% |
| Helped the princess regain her second memory | 25% |

The share of everyone who owns the game on PC who has unlocked the matching achievement, read on 6 November 2026. It counts people who have barely played, so the first bar is never 100%. [^3]

## How to spot them

- **Look for a yellow glint and an examine prompt.** Some only shimmer from one angle, so walk around anything suspicious.[^1]
- **Check corners the camera hides.** The shards players miss most are behind terrain or ledges, not in plain sight.[^1]
- **On PC, a mod can mark them.** Show Treasures In Radar puts chests, glowing items and tablet shards on the map radar.[^4]

## The 12 in chapter 1

| Where | Shards | Tip |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Grandshelt Town | 1 |  |
| Village of Kol | 1 |  |
| Grandport | 2 | One is behind a barrel. |
| Cavern of Swords | 1 | The cave up north in the desert. The shard is all that’s in it. |
| Felicitas | 2 | There are two ladders in one area. Check both. |
| Kobolos Ruins | 2 |  |
| Siren’s Tower | 3 | One right before the Greg fight and one right after. |

The demo’s chapter 1, and its save carries over to the full game.[^2]

## The ones players miss most

- **Mt. Thunderclap:** behind terrain at the back entrance to Ramuh’s Stele. It shimmers from only one spot.
- **Olderion:** near the entrance, by the canoe sailor on the right, hidden under a lip until you’re close.
- **The arcane library:** on the left, just past the packed tables at the entrance. Find the gap between the tables to reach it.
- **The multi-fight challenge dungeon:** on a secret staircase.
- **The train stations:** the station outside the city is a separate place from the one inside it, and each can hold a shard.[^1]

## If the count looks wrong

Some players have checked every spot and still have 98. One thinks a shard didn’t count because a battle started as they picked it up, so don’t grab one with an enemy on you. Players say you don’t need all 99 for the shard achievements.[^1]
