Brighter Shores: How To Get Giant Crystal Items

by

As a seasoned adventurer who’s traversed many a fantastical land, I must say that the quest for the Giant Crystal Items in Brighter Shores is one of the most intricate and thrilling I’ve ever encountered. From battling two-headed beasts to repairing boats to cross treacherous rivers, this journey has tested my mettle and left me with memories that will last a lifetime.

In the final stage of “Brighter Shores” Episode Two’s “Nullify The Corruption” mission, you’ll have to collect four enchanted artifacts to restore the Great Crystal and expel the malevolent magic that has been transforming forest creatures and newcomers like Jermais and the Mutant Stag into adversaries. If these items are not obtained, the tainted magic will continue to alter harmless creatures and recruits into hostile entities.

However, finding these things isn’t straightforward. Dryad’s riddles will guide you to unexplored areas where you’ll face challenging bosses. Be ready to put in some grinding, especially in the Scout and Woodcutter professions, to make it easier. This guide will show you how to find all the Giant Crystal items in Brighter Shores.

How To Get All Giant Crystal Items In Brighter Shores

As Dryad guides you to the initial magical artifact, the Glowing Beetles, found along the Overgrown Trail close to Crystal Clearing, the remaining three sources are hidden throughout Hopeforest. It’s up to you to locate them on your own adventure, and here’s what you’ll require:

Giant Crystal Items Hint
Glowing Beetles Dryad tells you about them.
Glowing Mushroom Somewhere beyond the Tangled Briar.
Glowing Honey Magic Guarded by a Multiple Headed Creature.
Glowing Fern Somewhere Beyond a River.

Tangled Briar Location In Brighter Shores

The hint for the second magic source lies beyond the Tangled Briar. However, at this stage in the game, you haven’t accessed this location yet. Luckily, it isn’t too distant from Crystal Clearing. To get there, retrace your steps to the Overgrown Trail and then head south onto Bramble Path. This path is currently obstructed by thick Hardy Brambles that you’ll need to remove by chopping them away.

To finish this step, players must reach Woodcutter level eight and possess a hatchet. If you haven’t reached that point yet, work on cutting down trees of lower levels around Hopeforest to increase your rank in the profession. Alternatively, you can purchase a hatchet for 43 Silver Coins and 200 Bronze Coins from Morauce’s Pointy Implements, which is situated in Timberwell Green.

Once you’ve cleared away the bramble bushes, head southward and you’ll stumble upon Mushroom Grove – that’s where you’ll come across the Luminescent Mushroom. Simply click on it and press ‘Pick’ to add it to your primary mission list.

Where To Find The Multiple-Headed Creature In Brighter Shores

The Multi Headed Creature is actually the Giant Two Headed Bear found in the Two Headed Bear Clearing In Brighter Shores. It’s guarding the Glowing Bee Hive, which has the Glowing Honey, the third Giant Crystal item. To locate it, start at the Stump Clearing (north of the Hopeforest Central Portal Stone—you can use the teleport for quicker access). From there, turn left to reach the Tangled Path, and keep going west, passing through Tangled Lane, Leafy Junction, and Bear Clearing. And turn north to reach the Two Headed Bear Clearing.

Upon arrival, you’ll face off against the formidable Two-Headed Giant Bear; it’s a level 20 boss and can prove quite difficult to defeat. Here are some strategies for vanquishing the Two-Headed Giant Bear in the game Brighter Shores:

  • Level up your Scout to 18–20 (to be on the safe side).
  • Attack while the bear charges for a ground slam.
  • Use weapons with Cryonae, Tempestae, or Necromae elements. Infernae weapons won’t work since the bear is immune to fire.
  • Quickly move out of the orange-tiled attack zone to avoid damage.
  • Use the 20% Healing Potions during combat (avoid consuming them mid-way or right after the ground slam).
  • Repeat this strategy until it’s defeated.

After successfully subduing the bear, approach the Radiant Bee Hive and select ‘Extract Honey’ option to gather the Luminous Honey. Please note that you will require a Jar to harvest the honey. You can purchase one for 20 Bronze Coins at The Forager’s Shop in Hopeport.

How To Get Beyond The River In Brighter Shores

The last Giant Crystal Item, the Glowing Fern, can be found in the Ferry South Shore in Brighter Shores. Start from Timberwell Green, go right to Mine Road West, then head south to Tree Lined Trail, Tree Lined Track, and finally Hopeforest Ferry. There, you’ll meet the Ferryman, who will ask you to repair the boat before you can use it to cross the river.

To fix the ferry, you’ll need two Ash Planks. Simply cut down Ash Trees in Timberwell Green and process them using the Circular Saw at the Carpenter’s Workshop to collect them. Once you have the planks, return to the Ferryman at Hopeforest Ferry and repair the broken boat by tapping on it and selecting ‘Fix.’ Next, a cutscene will play, showing a massive Mutant Newt (a monster with 615 health) jumping onto the ferry and damaging it while you and the Ferryman are on the journey to cross the river. While it’s a high-level foe, you can beat it by playing smartly.

To conquer the Mutated Newt, make sure to steer clear of the orange-tiled spots on the ferry and engage it with any nearby weapon at your disposal. The length of the battle will depend on the rarity of your weapon. Once the creature retreats into the river, promptly mend the ferry’s damage by clicking on them and choosing ‘Fix.’ After vanquishing the Newt, you’ll arrive at Ferry South Shore, where you can find the Glowing Fern. Simply click on it and select ‘Harvest’ to gather it.

After gathering all the Giant Crystal Artifacts, players will be able to finish the primary story mission, “Rid the Corruption,” by restoring the Giant Crystal within the Hopeforest.
