While adventuring across the vast open world of Elden Ring you’re bound to come across a variety of interesting consumable items. Many of these consumables can be found in vast quantities throughout the game, but others like the highly sought-after Starlight Shards are much rarer and easy to miss if you don’t know where to look.
When consumed, Starlight Shards restore 2 FP per second for a total of 60 seconds. These items are particularly useful during PvP and punishing boss fights that give players very few opportunities to replenish their Focus Points using Flasks. There are only 23 Starlight Shards in Elden Ring so it’s a good idea to gather as many of them as you can because you never know when you’re going to need them.
All Starlight Shard Locations In Elden Ring
Starlight Shards can generally be found near stone astrolabes and have a purple glow similar to other rare items. The shards can also be found in a couple of other locations, with one particular location having a whole bunch of them. Below you can find the location of all the shards along with accompanying images and some quick info on how to get there.

Located in Stormhill in front of a stone astrolabe overlooking the sea. From the Stormhill Shack Site of Grace, head directly south to reach the astrolabe.
Starlight Shards In Southern Limgrave
Located in front of a stone astrolabe northeast of the Forlorn Hound Evergoal. The astrolabe can be found on the hill behind the bandit camp. The quickest way to get to the astrolabe is to start at the Agheel Lake South Site of Grace and either go around (or through) the bandit camp or use the nearby Spiritspring to jump up the hill.
Starlight Shards In Weeping Peninsula

Starlight Shards In Moonlight Altar
This is the motherload. No less than 10 Starlight Shards can be found scattered throughout the Cathedral of Manus Celes in Moonlight Altar, southwestern Liurnia of the Lakes. In order to unlock this area, players need to progress Ranni’s questline up to the point where they can access the Deep Ainsell Well. The Moonlight Altar Site of Grace can be found in front of the well and from there it’s a short hike northeast to reach the Cathedral of Manus Celes. An additional shard can be found in front of a stone astrolabe north of the Cathedral.
Startlight Shards From Sorceress Sellen’s Questline
While most Starlight Shards can be found out in the world, there is one that’s given to players as a quest reward. To get your hands on it, you’ll need to talk to Sorceress Sellen in the Waypoint Ruins Cellar in Limgrave and progress her questline until she sends you to rescue Master Lusat. Complete that part of the questline and she’ll reward you with Starlight Shards upon returning.
