Hi Shatter. Would you PLEASE be willing to help those of us who are completionists and make a step-by-step guide for all of the NPC questlines, so that nothing is missed in a single playthrough? For example, if you were to start a fresh, new playthrough, give us all of the steps for what to do FIRST, next, and so on so that nothing is missed? There is the Tortured Prisoner questline, Drustan, Iron Wayfarer, Andreas of Ebb, Tehk-Ihir, Stomund, Exacter Dunmire, Gerlinde and Sparky, Byron and Winterberry... Etc. Where if you miss a SINGLE STEP, you miss the entire questline and all rewards. So many of us are dying for a complete guide. Could you consider it?

[@ItsShatter]

@@leonshore4336 I would like to, but I need to play a lot more before I could confidently do that. I am already working on another guide series for BG3 (which I have played many times and am ready to make a complete guide series for) and so will be focusing on that for a while. I’m hoping they will patch some things in this game before I return to it.

[@thadudelydude3707]

If you finnish them of with an umbral finnisher, you will get an item drop 100% of the time. Just damage them enough first, then do the lamp-thingy and strike their soul to get them into that finnisher state.

[@spookysalamander8582]

never heard anyone say this and it helped so much. thank you

[@Dan-gn9pg]

It helps with the drop being a bit more consistent. Thanks

[@RagnaRantz]

“the lamp thingy”-😂 you’re awesome So Soulflay em, wack em down to basically zero, & they’ll immediately be ready for a soul rip? (Basically just staggered & waiting-do a crit hit but this, cause of wither damage, will use the lamp?) Edit; yep, that’s it, & damn I did not realize how much that helps with them dropping at least something Thanks dude!👍✌️

[@shutitupnlisten]

Was this patched with Everything else 🤔

[@Sorugue]

Great stuff man thanks for the guide! I'd also like to add, that I have found if you use the lucky rabbits foot (which can be bought at base) right before fighting the first large templar knight, it will last you the entire loop that you use it on if you keep a decent pace, it has sped up the farm considerably for me.

[@siuilbais2727]

I was going to mention the rabbits foot as well since you could use the vigor you get from the loop to get them instead of leveling if you just want to focus on upgrading weapons.

[@kanalight2898]

For the items the drop is so low, but is good to farm vigor and if you are lucky you are lucky

What a fantastic guide and a refreshing take on how guides should be made. Easiest sub ever

[@BreakingRadOfficial]

After you jump over the Congregator of Flesh’s lair there’s a vendor right there on the left so sells lucky paws. If you buy a couple of those every time to reach him in this loop, you’ll raise your chances of getting upgrade materials.

Awesome video btw :) The vendor also sells a limited supply of the small fragments for upgrade (forget the name).

I use that same area to farm but I put down a seedling in the area past the crossbow guys to the left once you pass over the bridge. It’s a super quick run and seedlings can be bought easily so why not burn one when you need to farm.

Big ups to Marshmallow.

Yep, regular nuggets drop starting from The Gorge - after the hushed saint boss fight. You’re expected to fight that fight with +2 weapons, max. You can do it! Feel like it’s more of a fight of patience than dps!

[@MRSupernova100]

I personally just go to the umbral at the start of the run, and stay in it all the while - Then jump into the boss arena and circle back to the lantern. Good way of farming plucked eyeballs as well, as a lantern almost always spawns and sets itself to one of the smaller enemies.

[@albertososa6310]

Thank you

[@LoneEspadaYT]

This video right here let me upgrade so many weapons. The drop chances were wildly high and I’m not sure if it had to do with my level being on the higher side(70). My newer character has lower chances it seems, but the farm goes hard regardless. Thank you

[@Darthsikk]

You can just kill the 2nd bulwark mob and rope back down to the bottom left, which leads to a ledge you can jump off and return to the fens vestige. That's far more efficient than warping.

[@BorNNN7]

thanks bro

[@DanielRumfelt]

GO into the Umbral! This made a HUGE difference on deralium drops at the Empyrean for me. Dont think it was mentioned.

[@knusperkeks2748]

Leading down the hill where the 3 bandits are (to the left, instead of going right as you say) will lead to a place where you can plant a temporary visage. I did that, and used it to keep resetting the big guy at the top. I'm not sure if it was more efficient, but it felt like it was. If anything, if you prefer short runs, then you might want to try this out.

[@Jwalko4]

That’s exactly what I did. It’s a super efficient run!

[@benwills7343]

Hey this is great guide. You should be able to speed it up though by using a seed in the boss chamber at the end of the run. Just fall down the hole and teleport. You’ll survive the run every time (or so I believe). That should save 10-15 seconds.

[@Kupchino_Piter]

Yes, there is a question. Do you know how to cure a stone maiden without magic?

[@MichaeLTPeterSS]

Lol I've been doing this long before this video existed. I was wondering if anyone else figured it out yet. Although you are going the wrong way after you kill the second bulwark go back down the hill kill the 2 archers and melee infantry then continue to run down the hill and boom the same vestige is right there 😂 no need to run twice as far and warp to get back

[@praymo1]

To get a better chance of drop if you buy some of that item called lucky paw gives a increase drop rate of that merchant Thehk-Ihir for 500 each at the beginning of forsaken fen area that should help but sadly the effect stops after resting.

[@SoulS467]

How if just teleport to forsaken again?

[@praymo1]

@@SoulS467 you just go to a vestige or a temp vestige you put down the option is Warp to Vestige on there then choose forsaken fen if you got that area.

[@karlmader9153]

Thanks for the guide but I can confirm that this farming spot has been nerfed. You can still get those materials but the drop chances are pretty low. I made 10 runs today on Xbox and 'only' received 2 large and 3 medium upgrade shards with this rabbit foot equipped.

many enemies will have a small chance to drop the small fragments. Not sure beyond that though as far as Pilgrims perch goes.

You can get the +3-5 in the sanctuary vestige. Literally the first vestige you get after you get to Skyrest. Spawn at the vestige. There are 3 avowed mobs (ones with the mace) one sitting on the stairs, 2 on the wooden platform. Kill them, check for loot. Rest and repeat. 30 seconds each run.

I did this run on the 23rd of October for at least 45 minutes to an hour probably more at 2 different times and I only ever got small and regular deralium, mostly small and not many normal and maybe I got one large? But that was it after over an hours and a half and that while use the rabbits foot so this farm seems to but either patched otlr just not real? Very annoying but what can you do.

[@Regianldo56]

Genuine question: I understand people wanting to switch weapon and get the materials needed to pump it up to the level of their current weapon. However, if you just got to the swamp area and are already farming for a +9 weapon. You’re literally ruining the fun and challenge of the game for yourself, no? Isn’t it better to naturally get stronger by entering regions that have static drops of said materials first? So you feel the power surge naturally… instead of just ‘oops, I want +9 and One Shot the next 15 bosses’ Because… that literally sounds like the opposite of fun.

[@ItsShatter]

Play the game how you want. Everyone has their own definition of fun.

[@GamingPIPI]

They rarely drop anything at all. Let alone upgrade material. My swords needs large shards for a +3. With this pace i need to farm 24h to get it +9 lol
