Quick answer: Collect four Sha-Chi Amber Shards to raise maximum Sha-Chi by 10%. In Weeping Creek Valley, find the first shard in a chest next to a campfire close to the Broken Puppet Valley bell.
What Sha-Chi Amber Shards do
Phantom Blade Zero lists the Sha-Chi Amber Shard under “Key Progression Materials”. The bonus comes from completing a set, and the item card spells out the deal:
“A fragment of shattered Sha-Chi Amber. It absorbs stray Sha-Chi from its surroundings, though much of that power also leaks away through its cracks.”
“Collect all four fragments to increase maximum Sha-Chi by 10%.”
The game’s tutorial groups these with other progression pickups: “Collect Blackstones, Sha-Chi Ambers, and other items to increase attributes and unlock abilities.” Sha-Chi Amber also matters for ability training. The Train Abilities screen at bells has a row led by Sha-Chi Amber, and some abilities there list Sha-Chi Amber as a requirement.
Where to find the first Sha-Chi Amber Shard
The first shard is in Chapter 1, in Weeping Creek Valley. The route is short, but there is a fight at the end, so arrive ready for combat.
How many Sha-Chi Amber Shards each region has
The interactive map‘s “Amber Fragments” layer marks 41 spots in total, split across regions like this:
| Region | Shards marked on the map |
|---|---|
| Weeping Creek Valley | 4 |
| Crimson Forest | 6 |
| Village of Lu | 4 |
| Pangzhen | 8 |
| Mirage Estate | 4 |
| Mandate Encampment | 4 |
| Meigu Lake | 7 |
| Mountain of Imprisonment | 4 |
| Mount Soulrend | 0 |
The Amber Fragments layer is hidden by default, so switch it on in the interactive map’s filters to see every marked spot.
