All Memory Crystal Shard Locations In Honkai: Star Rail

Each planet in Honkai: Star Rail has its own unique currencies, and you can use them to redeem rewards or special services from it. They’re usually tied to interactions and quests within that planet and cannot be obtained anywhere else.

A good example is the Memory Crystal Shards, scattered all around Amphoreus. These lingering fragments were introduced in the 3.0 update and can help give you an easier time exploring those huge Greek-inspired zones. But more than that, some items can only be obtained in special shops by exchanging them, so you’ll have to gather those if you’re aiming for 100 percent exploration.

What Are Memory Crystal Shards?

Memory Crystal Shards are special rewards obtained from various exploration objectives on Amphoreus. You can find them by completing quests, finding unique interactions, and speaking with special NPCs in general (such as the Chrysos Heirs).

They are all obtained in the ‘Eternal Holy City’ Okhema, and they have two main uses: buying souvenirs or locating the Creation Nymphs scattered around the zones, but there’s also a limited amount of Shards you can get from most sources.

Memory Crystal Shard Locations In Amphoreus

Doing certain activities in Okhema for the first time will always yield you at least one Memory Crystal Shard. While most of these are a one-time-only source for Shards, there’s a location where you can get a decent amount of them each week. Any other Shard you find can only be obtained once.

Below is a full list of locations you can visit to get those Shards.

Strange Crystal

The infinite source for Shards. Interact with the Strange Crystal in the Hall of Respite bathroom chamber Aglaea gave you and Dan Heng during the story. This Shard gives you 10 Memory Crystal Shards every week as soon as you touch it. Once servers reset on Monday, remember to visit for some extra currency.

Interacting With Chrysos Heirs And Important NPCs

The main characters in Amphoreus can be found all around the city once the Trailblaze Missions are done. Have a chat with them to get some easy Shards. Here’s where you can meet them in Okhema:

• Aglaea: Directly in front of the Hero’s Bath teleport.
• Castorice: In the hall behind the Hall of Respite teleport, looking at the flowers.
• Mydei: Climb through the buildings in front of the Marmoreal Market teleport (like you did in the main story). Mydei will be at the summit, next to where you can find a chest.
• Tribbie: Next to the Garden of Life teleport. Head straight ahead to meet her. Speaking with her “sisters” won’t give you extra Shards.

You don’t need to exhaust the Heirs’ dialogue options. Just speaking with them and immediately leaving the conversation gives you the Shard.

Aside from those, you can get some Shards from merchants in Okhema if you buy something from them through dialogue (not the usual Shop option). This won’t cost you more than 12.000 Credits, even if you always pick the most expensive options.

The vendors are:

• Demetria: At the Marmoreal Market, to the left after you teleport. Choose “I’d like to check out the fresh fruits here” and pick any of the fruits.
• Kyros: Right in front of the Marmoreal Market teleport, next to Demetria. Choose “What foreign dishes do you have on the menu?” as those are the cheapest.
• Xenia: Teleport to Overflowing Bath and turn back through the water to find her. After speaking with her once, choose “I want to buy something.” Both available options cost 10.000 Credits.

Demetria will first trigger the Disjointed Memories quest before you have a chance to buy her fruit.

Lastly, you can meet Baccus directly in front of the Court of Seasons teleport to taste Ambrosia for the first time. The first sip will give you a Memory Crystal Shard. Future sips only unlock achievements.

Adventure Missions

All Missions in the Amphoreus’ Annals subsection reward the player with two Memory Crystals Shards each. Those Missions provide some extra context to the planet and sometimes even unlock hidden NPCs around the zones.

As of 3.0, the following missions will give you Memory Crystal Shards:

• Contradiction
• Disjointed Memories
• Elsewhere
• Love in the Time of Black Tide
• Secret Ceremony
• The Girl, the Coins, and Homeland

Once you complete the Trailblaze Missions in Amphoreus, more Adventure Missions will be unlocked. They all award you with five Shards each, but are lengthier than the previously listed missions. Some of them are required to fully access some of the zones in Amphoreus, so they should be a priority.:

• Disquieting Dream
• I Once Was In Arcadia
• Whereto Shall We Go

Exploration Objectives

Aside from Nymphs and Chests, Okhama has unique interactions that award the players a single Shard the first time they interact with them. A good example is the Verax Leo quiz, shown during the main story.

You can find these objectives all around Okhema, so you might’ve already passed by one of them. But if you haven’t, the map above shows where to find one of them in a single portion of the city, close to each other.

• Riding a Dromas: Interact with the Dromas walking the road next to the Marmoreal Palace teleport. It can only be found here.
• Interacting with the Water Lyre in the Bath House: Teleport to the Hall of Respite and walk back to the hall before your room, next to where Castorice can be found. The Lyre will be waiting for you.
• Receiving a Blessing from the basins: Directly right of Damionis, close to the Okhema Market scroll.
• Completing a Verax Leo’s quiz (outside of the Main Story): Teleport to the Court of Seasons and head straight forward. The answer is ‘A pillow.’
• Finding a Living Flames of Georios: In the same room as the Water Lyre.
• Breaking a decoration in Okhema: Attack the plate decoration next to the stairs. After speaking with an NPC, fix the plate to get the Shard.
• Interacting with a Holy Candle: Directly behind Damionis, close to the benches.

You only need to find one instance of these objectives in Okhema to get a Shard, but finding all of them will always net you an extra achievement.

How To Use Memory Crystal Shards

You can use your Memory Crystal Shards by speaking with the Garmentmaker in any Amphoreus zone. They will reveal the location of a missing Nymph in the current zone at the price of one Nymph per shard. This is useful when you’re missing only a couple of them and don’t want to look at every possible spot.

But they’re mostly used for exchange at the Janus’ Steed, next to the Court of Seasons teleport. You can find items such as Records for playing at the Astral Express and unique food recipes. They can all be bought a single time, and the store won’t be restocked.

There are also the Mysterious Gift boxes. Buying these unlocks new decorations for your Hall of Respite room. The Small box (costing five Shards) adds a toy sea seal doll to the pool in front of the Strange Crystal, while the Large box (15 Shards) gives you a Little Chimera standing in your room.

Stocking Memory Crystal Shards is a good option for exploring future zones in Amphoreus. The Janus’ Steed store might also be updated in future versions, so having some extra Shards will always be useful.
