+1 Speed Monkey Escape: How to Find All 9 Sunken Shards

The nine Sunken Shards in +1 Speed Monkey Escape are tucked into corners, ledges, and gaps that sit off the main running path, starting in the lobby and ending on Stage 9. Collect all of them and you get a permanent x2 Speed Treadmill that doubles how fast you gain speed during training.

Quick answer: Grab two shards in the main lobby, one each on Stages 2, 3, 4, and 6, two on Stage 7, and the last on Stage 9. Each pickup shows a Collected X/9 Sunken Shards! message, and the ninth automatically grants the x2 Speed Treadmill.

What collecting all 9 shards unlocks

The reward for the full set is the x2 Speed Treadmill, and it is free. Once it is applied, your speed gains during training are doubled, which cuts the grind toward higher stages and rebirths roughly in half. It is a permanent unlock, so you keep the bonus for good after the ninth pickup.

You can collect the shards in any order as long as you have reached the stage each one sits on. Because the stages run in a straight line, most players simply grab them in sequence during a normal run. You can play the exact game on its official Roblox page.

Two lobby shards before your first run

Spawn into the game and turn to the left side of the lobby. Walk behind the Top Robux Leaderboard, which is the Robux board out of the three, and pick up the shard tucked in the gap behind it.

Find the tall vertical jump booster on the left side of the lobby. Build up a little speed, hit the booster, and aim for the ledge on the left. The second shard sits in the corner of that ledge, so retry the jump if you fall short.

Shards on Stages 2, 3, and 4

On Stage 2, head to the center and look for the small pillar on the left. The shard rests at its base, so dive straight down and grab it as you fall. You will die on the way down, but the pickup still counts, and you respawn with your progress kept.

Reach the end of Stage 3 and go to the large wooden block on the right side. Carry enough speed to clear the right booster, then drop down behind the block to collect the shard hidden there.

At the start of Stage 4, use the vertical boosters to launch onto the top level. Move to the left and follow the platform all the way to its end, just before Stage 5 begins, where the shard is waiting.

Stage 6 and the two Stage 7 shards

On Stage 6, jump onto the first center platform over the water, then chain a jump to the second center platform. Move to the edge and drop just below it to grab the shard sitting under the lip.

Near the end of Stage 7, find the set of three green platforms. The seventh shard sits on the central platform, so slow down as you approach so you do not run past it.

From the same three green platforms, check the last one for a small ledge on its side. The eighth shard rests on that ledge, right next to the final platform of the group.

The final shard on Stage 9

Push through to Stage 9, the hardest area because of the Tsunami waves that rush toward you. Time your movement between waves so you are not knocked off the platforms.

Cross to the third center platform, then check the right-side corner. The ninth and final shard is there. Grabbing it completes the set and triggers the x2 Speed Treadmill reward.

How to confirm the reward unlocked

Every shard you touch flashes an on-screen message counting your progress, from Collected 1/9 Sunken Shards! up to Collected 9/9 Sunken Shards!. When the ninth one registers, the x2 Speed Treadmill is granted automatically. If it does not appear right away, check your inventory or the treadmill station, since the item is a permanent addition rather than a temporary buff.

If you stall at eight out of nine, the culprit is almost always a skipped lobby pickup or the shard hidden under the Stage 6 platform, since both are easy to run past. Low movement speed is the other common blocker, because several jumps rely on clearing boosters or gaps that need momentum. Train up your speed a little and retry the jump rather than fighting it at low stats.

Note: dying to grab a shard, such as the dive on Stage 2, never costs you shards you have already collected, so treat those drops as intended pickups and keep moving.
