FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE tablet shards: 12 Chapter 1 locations

Start with the Chapter 1 checklist

Tablet shards appear as golden sparkles in towns and dungeons. The full game has 99; the opening-chapter checklist below covers 12 of them. The numbers in walkthroughs are a suggested collection order, so use the place and landmark when comparing two lists. PowerPyx locations RPG Site locations

Area	What to check
Grandshelt marketplace	Search the marketplace area.
Kol	Check the pond in the southwest of the village.
Felicitas, eastern side	Search the eastern side of the town near the shops.
Felicitas, hidden path	Explore the western path behind the buildings and climb the ladder.
Kolobos Ruins, stair base	Search beside the paired devices after entering the second area.
Kolobos Ruins, fallen pillar	After the collapsed-bridge section, return up the ladder and inspect the fallen pillar.
Grandport, south pier	Search behind the barrels along the pier.
Grandport, shops	Check the tree west of the weapon and armor shops.
Cavern of Swords	Walk to the rear of the cave and inspect behind the rock formation.
Siren’s Tower, entrance section	Take the stairs to the right beyond the fountain and inspect the ledge.
Siren’s Tower, upper ledge	Before moving into the next room, follow the ledge to its end.
Siren’s Tower, next section	Continue through the tower and inspect the raised ledge.

Both location guides enumerate these pickups. Mark each one after collecting it; a completed area name is not enough when Felicitas, Grandport or Siren’s Tower has more than one shard. PowerPyx RPG Site

Turn shards in at Oblivion Palace

Take the shards to the Enigmatic Princess at Oblivion Palace in the Kingdom of Grandshelt. Turning in shards opens reward chests, so return to the princess rather than trying to use the shards as equipment. PowerPyx RPG Site

The palace rewards include a Stagger Ring. Check the princess’s available chests after delivering your shards. RPG Site reward table IGN’s tablet-shard explanation

Keep the collectible count separate from Vision upgrades

Magicite is the material family used to awaken Visions. Tablet shards are the collectibles delivered to the princess; some palace rewards are Magicite items, but picking up a tablet shard does not itself awaken a Vision. In-game help transcription RPG Site palace rewards IGN

Return for the remaining full-game shards

These 12 locations are an opening-chapter checklist, not all 99. PowerPyx and RPG Site agree that achievement-related important pickups are not missable; you can collect missed shards later instead of restarting for an overlooked opening pickup. Access to later places still depends on story progress. PowerPyx RPG Site walkthrough

For battle-earned bonuses and Magicite upgrades, use the Vision mastery guide. Use the demo checklist for the separate chapter-completion task.
