Starglow Cavern

There’s a shard here that needs to be destroyed to remove the air current that’s blocking the way to the summit.

 

The Starglow Cavern area has two branching paths. Following the incline to the top leads to several chests, a challenge, and a fight with a Ruin Grader. There’s even a clearing with a secret door.

But, you’ll want to descend to the bottom of this area, though, since that has the third and final shard.

Once you reach the bottom of the cavern, you’ll find a challenge marker and three Seelie pedestals.

The first Seelie is already visible.

The other two are behind the frozen shard. You might need to demolish some rocks to spot them.

As for the challenge marker, it spawns several frost hilichurls for you to battle. Completing the challenge will remove the barrier, allowing you to damage the shard.

Now, for the Scarlet Quartz nodes, two are visible near the shard itself. The others, meanwhile, can be found next to the aforementioned hidden Seelie (you can see one of the nodes in the image above). As usual, get the warming buff and destroy the shard.

Congratulations! You’ve destroyed all three shards and you can now make your way to Dragonspine’s summit. It’s time to head to Skyfrost Nail.
