What Is a Starlight Shard?
A Starlight Shard is a non-craftable Consumable that restores 120 FP in 60 seconds (2 FP per second). You can only find up to 23 Starlight Shards per journey in Elden Ring. But don’t worry, you can carry them over to your next playthrough.
How to Use Starlight Shards
You can only equip 10 Starlight Shards at a time. Simply follow these steps:
- Open your Inventory
- Select a Quick Item slot
- Select Starlight Shards
While you may have the freedom to use a Starlight Shard anytime, here are the three best ways to use it:
- A Trading Item for Preceptor Seluvis’ Spirit Ash Shop during Mid-Game
- As emergency FP when you run out of Cerulean Tears Flasks
- An Item for Multiplayer Trade
All Starlight Shard Locations in Elden Ring
Only five of the nine regions in the Lands Between have up to three Starlight Shards to be found. Most Starlight Shards are placed near a Scaphe Sundial, which is an ancient device used to indicate the time of day. The following are all their locations:
| Region | Starlight Shard Locations |
|---|---|
| East Limgrave | Agheel Lake South Grace — Summon Torrent, and seek a Spirit Spring on the pathway towards the Bridge of Sacrifice. When jumping on the Spirit Spring, aim to land on the eastern cliff. One Starlight Shard is in front of a Scaphe Sundial at the right side of the trees. |
| West Limgrave | Stormhill Shack Grace — Make your way to the tip of Stormhill, which is further southwest of the coliseum ruins with a Guardian Golem nearby. There are four Eagles near a Scaphe Sundial with one Starlight Shard. |
| Weeping Peninsula | Castle Morne Rampart Grace — Summon Torrent, and jump on a nearby Spirit Spring. You'll reach the small pond of Oridys's Rise. Go to the edge of the cliff, west of the rise, to find one Starlight Shard near a Scaphe Sundial. |
| East Liurnia of the Lakes | Gate Town Bridge Grace — Summon Torrent, and seek a Spirit Spring within the forest along the cliffside. Jump on the Spirit Spring to find the Scaphe Sundial with one Starlight Shard at the edge of the cliff. |

However, you'll need the Sellian Sealbreaker from Sorceress Selllen to break it. |

But beware, it's guarded by the Glintstone Dragon Adula, Ranni the Witch's most loyal dragon. There's a total of 10 Starlight Shards within the area, including the on near a Scaphe Sundial. Note: You will need to do Ranni the Witch's questline to reach the subregion. The only path to get here is located within the Lake of Rot. |
