Note for the people that already have wood, an upgraded stealth set for the extra movement speed, and a flame weapon: skip to 6:30 where the actual method begins.
I found a great spot to farm Star Fragments that is super easy. The only monsters I have encountered are the ones that randomly spawn at night and you can just run right past them. I've already obtained over 20 and this works nearly 100% of the time, every night. I've only had it not work twice. Once when it was downpouring so hard that you couldn't see very far and the night after that (possible reset issue?). 1.) Gather up a bunch of wood and your favorite way to light it (I use the Flameblade). 2.) Teleport to the Great Plateau Tower. I picked this spot based on the overworld map and what I thought would have the least amount of mountains and water. Also, you need no special gear against cold or heat. 3.) Start a fire under the canopy of the tower (to avoid any rain). 4.) Wait until noon. This is necessary to reset the spawn timer on the Star Fragment. 5.) Wait until night. 6.) Go to the edge of the tower facing Hyrule Field. 7.) Adjust your field of view so that the Castle is on the left edge of the screen. 8.) Wait and a Star Fragment will fall close to Riverside Stable.) 9.) Run to the Stable, hop on a horse and ride to the Star Fragment. The amount of time to run to the stable for a horse is more than made up by the speed boost the horse gives you....or you can just run on foot. 10.) Start at number 2 and repeat. Happy Star Fragment farming!
Omg this works!! I was getting discouraged at the location in the video because one never fell but this one worked on the second try! (The first try it rained.) I’ve gotten two so far. Thank you! Try this one, everyone!!
Alternatively, you can head to the highest point on Dueling Peaks and do it there instead, making sure that Hyrule Castle is roughly on the right side of the screen. I don’t THINK it rains there, but maybe it just didn’t happen to me in the time that I was doing it. I sat there 16 nights and got 15 fragments which I then used to upgrade some armor
@@platnumspoons if you're not used to it can be a pain in the ass and frustrating. It's pretty much Zelda with a time limit you have to keep resetting the same 3 days
For anyone who doesn't want to spend 19 minutes waiting for this guy to explain what actually needs to be done, with my commentary in brackets: 1. Wait for it to be a full moon phase. (This one actually doesn't matter, I've seen falling stars regardless of moon phase.) 2. Get to Shee Vaneer at/before nighttime and look towards the Hateno Tower. (To be fair, this is the most convenient location to look from since you can see practically everywhere. I can agree with this.) 3. Wait until a star falls, cause they always fall in the area you're looking towards (so looking at a landmark limits it to being somewhat near the landmark). 4. (This one's all me, but pin the approximate location the star fell on your minimap so you can easily find where to teleport to. Sometimes it falls closer to a different landmark, like a shrine, making it more convenient to teleport there - pinning the star makes it easier to know if that's the case. Having a pin on the minimap also helps you find approximately where to look just in case you can't see the pillar of light they emit.) 5. Get over there as quick as you can, which generally means 'by way of the landmark you were looking at'. (Kind of speaks for itself, though IIRC star fragments don't despawn until the next blood moon unlike most other items which vanish as soon as you load a different area. If you don't kill much, you're generally going to be safe for a while.) There we go, that probably took you less time to read, including commentary, than it took this guy to explain where Kakariko Village is. PS. I think one of the Bokoblin chests has a Star Fragment in as well, but I forget which one. If you find it, put a stamp there and come back after every blood moon. Alternatively, Silver Lynels can drop them as well - if you kill enough Lynels, eventually every Lynel except the one near Zora's Domain will be a Silver, with the one in the Colisseum Ruins being the first one. They're hard as hell to fight, but it's easy to remember where they are. You don't need many Star Fragments throughout the game - I think the only good use for them is armor upgrades, and to fully upgrade all the non-Amiibo armor sets I think you only ever need 14 which is easy enough to do if you keep the ones from quests. And if you do want to include all the Amiibo armor sets, just scan Amiibo - every Zelda Amiibo has a fair chance of having a Star Fragment in the chest, and you can save-reset to guarantee yourself a Star Fragment. So that's a Star Fragment per day from each Zelda (or Smash Ganondorf) Amiibo you own.
Your edited synopsis is light years better than your original post. Thanks for taking the time to update it. B-) Although, I have yet to see 1 falling star in the game without using this method, so I can't verify seeing one during any of the moon phases.
Forget the moon, here is a faster way: 1. Place a campfire on Dueling Peaks. Equip a Flame Blade or warm clothes as it is cold up there. The campfire might warm you. Placing the Travel Medallion next to the Korok will let you instantly teleport to the highest point. 2. Wait until morning. 3. Wait until night. 4. Look to the north-west with Hyrule Castle being in the right third of the screen. Lake Hylia will be off-scren to the left. 5. Wait until you see a shooting star. 6. Use the Sheikah Slate to mark the impact location. 6. Fast travel to the closest shrine or tower to the impact position possible and collect your prize. 7. Repeat. Source: AustinJohnPlays
When you say "wait until" you mean selecting that by the campfire (thus the wood and flameblade, etc.)...not that you have to let the timer elapse, right?
Don't listen to the hate, the explanation is good for all players, in case anyone is in a new game or starting over for whatever reason. people are so impatient, viewers can skip ahead jeez..
Great method. I’ve managed to get all star fragments I was looking for. With a twist. So, at the first week, I’ve asked Hino what was the moon for the night everyday so that I’d get acquainted with the cicle. At the 13th day moon, he told me instead he was getting that feeling that something was going to happen, indicating a blood moon. I was not sure it was not the full moon (since I was testing the cicle) and went to the spot. And a little pass midnight I see the shooting star. The next day I ask Hino again, what the moon is, and he says it is a full moon. So I go back to the spot and bam another star fragment. This may indicate that the shooting star happens at blood moons as well as full moons. Either that or I got real lucky. Anyway. Thing for the guide. Very helpfull
It actually works on any moon phase, every night. I've gotten 12 in a row just saving and exiting the game after every drop. Had two drop on the same night after opening the game and loading my save. Although that was very rare RNG, one can drop every night. After a save / close app.
First of all, there is no grinding in this game. Second of all, exploits are cheating. It's like stealing money for new TV that you want - just in the game. It isn't fun.
I played along with the guide... and sure enough, it worked perfectly. The Star Fragment landed right on the tip of one of the giant ribs surrounding one of the three Hinox brothers, then when I got near fell right next to the Hinox. I haven't needed to farm anything else in this game, but between Gerudo accessories and amiibo gear, and the fact that I'm very rarely looking at the sky at night, I desperately need Star Fragments.
I just bought this game and I appreciate your video. I can now gather star fragments from the beginning of my game. When it is time to use them I should have plenty. Thanks for explaining the whole process so new players can also get the fragments.
These comments are so rude I don't see any of you making videos on how to catch star fragments and the one guy who does you insult. At least he's helping Unlike you guys.
They are helping. It's called constructive criticism. Aside from the fact that during release you could do a simple google search and find farming methods, the amount of fat in this video is absurd. He could have edited out repeatedly talking to Hino. He could have edited out a million things. It's 20 minutes of rambling bullshit.
Constructive criticism is not an insult unless the person getting criticized is overly sensitive and therefore insulted by things that shouldn't be insulting.
Victoria Counce. I take all videos into consideration and figure out what works for me. I just cleared all 120 shrines and now I'm farming. So any videos on farming really does help. I appreciate the video
Once you get very close, theur bright light disappear and they start obeying to the laws of physics. Maybe you just didn't see it, but it was most definitly on the ground.
Heads up, I found out that if you're too late to catch a star fragment before it vanishes. You can light a fire, sit next to it until night again and it'll still be where it fell when you're done.
If you stand on Cottla and Koko's mother's tall monument just outside Kakariko village from 9pm to 3 am any night, any moon except blood moon, you will have a star fragment fall close enough to a shrine
Hey man, tough to see all the hate on the length of the vid. Not that I don't agree with them, a clean and nicely edited tutorial is my favourite kind. Thanks for all the info and thanks to the commenters too for more info 👍
The funniest thing happened while watch this. Around 6 minutes in I saw a star fragment fall from the sky and land between Dalite Forest and Satori mountain
A star fragment fell and it was on a cliff-side. I thought it disappeared once I got to it. I wish I had known it was in stasis but not knowing brought me here. Thank you!
Awesome tips, but I have a suggestion. When you do your first full moon, if you own your own house in Hateno you can sit by the fire there. Count out 8 times sleeping by the fire to change the day and you'll be back to a full moon. This saves on checking in the Dueling Stables and it rains there a lot putting out the fire. Once you count out 8 days, it will be a full moon and you can just warp to the top of the peaks and then follow this awesome method of looking east at Hateno. This saves you also on flame blades and firewood.
Thanks for the guide! Toward the end when you teleported to the closer tower for the star and loading time was cut out. For a moment there i was like what magic is this!?!? THE LOADING TIME IS NOT THERE... HOW GREAT THE GAME WOULD OF BEEN WITHOUT THE LOADING TIME...
Wow. Just read some of the shitty comments on your video. The hubs and I found all your steps and prep to be very helpful! We appreciate the thorough content, and thanks for taking the time to post such rad info.
hey man, I'm sorry your getting so much flack for this video, it was very helpful for me, I had no idea that the Sheika Armor gave a speed bonus when upgraded. although with the latest patch it looks like they changed this process, I now have to close and re open the game
NIce tutorial. But all you need to do is have fire wood and something to light it with. Also bring cold resistance. Travel to Shee Vaneer Shrine. Light fire on wood and sit til night. wait for star to fall. Watch star fall and pick up star. Save. Exit game and repeat (after picking up star if time is still before 3am go and wait for another drop. Doesn't matter the moon phase or gear or weapon crap.
> get shiekah/dark link armor > use hino to check for a full moon and pass time until then > sit on duelling peaks during the full moon > face east as they will be seen most easily that way > note: stars only fall from 930 - 2 am WHY DID THIS BULLSHIT TAKE 20 MINUTES TO EXPLAIN FUCK ME THE METHOD ITSELF TAKES LESS THAN 5
You don’t have to wait for a blood moon. You just go to the top if dueling peeks where the koror is. Set up a campfire Sleep till morning and then sleep till night and there is high possibility it will drop. It fell 26/30 times for me.
in my experience, it Doesnt have to be a full moon...ive been farming StarFrags EVERY night; i just warp to Dueling Peaks, and scan the horizon (somewhat facing Calamity Castle) until i see one drop...i shiekah-scope it, warp to the nearest shrine, pick it up, and warp back to Dueling Tower; build a campfire to wait til noon, then wait til night, and Boom another star spawns That Night...
Victoria Powell it really doesn't have to be this long other people have made shorter videos the whole wood and flame sword stuff could have been skipped
Geez all these people on here can't help but to comment on how long the video is, when they should actually be thankful that he took the time to make a farming video. Smh people... Random Respawn, thank you for all of your hard work sir!
great stuff man. maybe a little lengthier than it needed to be, but hey you need those youtube bucks so it seems to me you could just make it night at the stable, then quickly warp to that shrine, since it takes another 30 seconds to hit nine-thirty and that's more than enough time to get to the shrine and look at the right area. wouldnt need wood and fire at all.
Doesn't have to be a full moon. Much faster to use a campfire, set to night, fast travel to high point, and save. Exit the game and relaunch. Get the fragment and repeat. Faster than counting days. I have my amiibo sets maxed out.
You can get a star fragment any night but a blood moon. Look out over Hyrule Field from the Great Plateau tower is easier, no climbing. Just put the castle on the very left edge of the screen. It usually falls close to Riverside stable.
It worked, thanks! It did fall near the stable (first star fragment). I just started a camp fire on the tower, sat till morning then sat again for night. Then as soon as I looked at the direction you mentioned, a fragment fell (second fragment). Then I sat at camp fire again and I got my third fragment near Central Tower. Good thing I re-order the comments to newest. Thanks for your help. o(^▽^)o You need lots of wood to pull this off every night.
The Labyrinth Island to the Northeast of Akkala Ancient Technology Laboratory also has a Great Flameblade that's easier to get to, in my opinion; clear the shrine, then warp to it, take the stairs to the right going down and follow the path until you reach a loft heading up blocked by thorns. Burn the thorns with fire, climb up the loft, and follow that path to a Great Flameblade that will consistently reappear when the game resets after each Blood Moon. You could easily collect two, if need be, by also collecting the sword in this, but the journey to the sword in the labyrinth has no enemies, is a short trip, and easy to find.
I found out an even easier way, you warp to the plateau tower, climb up on the lip, get your camera so the left edge is just touching the castle, and a star will fall pretty quickly very close to one of those two very close together stables. sometimes it falls in the river, but these are super fast spots to get to what's more, I found out you have to change time to noon before you change it to night, in order to reset the star-get thing
Another really good spot is going to the Great Plateau Tower and looking towards the castle it normally lands by the central tower or the riverside ranch
Why wouldn't you just use the cooking pot to go to 9pm, then warp to the shrine on the mountain before 9.30? Doesn't that save needing the wood or the sword?
You can't wear rito armor and the stealth armor at the same time. I mean sure, you can drop the night move speed bonus, but then it isn't an improvement. So with that out of the way, since its decided you want the sword regardless (since food would be expensive over time) you might as well set up camp on the tower. In the end do what you want. But you can repeat the method by camping until noon > night once you get your loot, and skip all the other steps. (apparently, based on other community comments) In that case, camping on the tower is definitely superior.
a fun alternative way that you can get star fragments later on after beating ganon you can fight silver Lynels and they can have a chance to drop 1 or 2 star fragments and if none drop you can load a pre kill save and keep killing them till you finally get some, think in the colosseum if you beat all 4 divine beasts a silver lynle also shows up
Cool video man. I hear I need these for some armor later in the game so I went and got 15 for when I get the chance. I normally run a good luminous stone route after every third blood moon and end up with about 150-160 stones every run. With other stones I pick up during game play I can make 15k-17k rupees and that's more then enough to get whatever you want. I have 70 shrines, 90 korok seeds and two divine beasts beat as if 8/13/17 and only been playing for 5 days now.
Ummm... Yeah.. I think Nintendo fixed this. It worked my very first night on the mountain but haven't seen one to fall since. Did everything you said in the video. I went to the stable, made sure the guy said it was a full moon, went up to twin peaks and made a fire until night, it worked the first night so I thought I was golden.. I then made a camp fire camped 8 nights and nothing. I have tried 4 times now camping 8 nights and waiting until at least 2AM and I haven't had any luck.. So just a heads up for everyone who wants to try this..
Travis Scott BeardBear did another step with this method: he has to save and exit out of the game during a full moon and the star fragment falls every time. try it. i myself have not tried this whole method yet. i just luckily stumbled on 2 star fragments while i was just traveling aimlessly and got another 2 in treasure boxes (there is one inside Hyrule Castle).
You can trade monster parts to Kilton to get the Dark Armor set, which also grants the night speed up boost without having to upgrade the clothes at all. For the Sheikah set you need to do 6 total upgrades.
Worked for me. 3/15/24..... literally every guide/glitch i looked up worked in March of 2024. Arrows, weapon duplicates, and this one. Nintendo is not doing anymore updates so these glitches/strategies should be permanent
I swear, every other time I try this, it’s raining, lol. I end up having to pay for a bed, or I’ll go to the shrine and build a fire in the opening of the shrine.
I actually had the fragment falling in the same place every time, and had more than one at a time.This was months ago and cant quite remember exactly what it was I was doing, but there is a way. I promise you. not sure if it makes a difference, but it happened on/around death mountain.
Idk if you figured this out by now but when ever I'm farming with a self made fire I light again it before I leave so that it doesn't disappear. It's a small bit of information but it helps to know.
So I had everything I needed when I watched this video and did the whole wait for full moon thing and all... Nothing. Waited all night, no fragment. Decided to massacre a bunch of guardians for parts and raid the castle before trying again. Instead of waiting for A full moon, just did it to see what would happen. Fragment... Repeated the next night, another fragment. So far three nights back to back I've gotten one to fall. So it doesn't have to be a full moon to happen. Thanks for posting this though, knowing and easy way to farm these is a huge help. Now if only Lynel parts were this easy!
Brandon Patterson Actually, it's not that it doesn't need to be a full moon for it to happen, it's that it can't be on a blood moon. This video explained it wrong
A star will fall every single night regardless of moon phase. They are guaranteed to fall between 10pm till 3am. However, after you get one, save your game, exit your game and then reload the game. Only one star will fall per play session, so restarting your game makes a new play session. I farmed 30 in a few hours last night in Master Mode.
They VERY FIRST time I tried this had the great flame blade , wood, went to location not worried about moon cycle. Made campfire BTW enemies spawn right away lol. Then looked and made my red dot and boom at 930 star fragment dropped right below hateno tower! Made blue dot. Fast traveled and collected. Going back for my second try 2nd try I did save about 8 times BUT! I sat until morning then sat until night like another video suggested also said it could fall as late as 3qm. Let's see what happens 3rd time about 7th moon cycle. This time I saved and loaded save to see what would happen with 4th try
Oh speaking of star fragments. So I just got the full upgraded master sword after trial of the sword and but a campfire at lurlin village and a star fragment dropped on my campfire and it spawned about 50 star fragments.
Thank you, I was wondering how I'd get enough of these for the Amiibo set upgrades, plus everytime I've seen a star fragment fall in my game I've missed it. Only managed one from a treasure chest on an island in Faron Sea so far.
Couple tips. U need to upgrade stealth set through fairies to lvl 2 to get night speed up. Also, you dont need cold resistance food if you have the flame blade equipped at night. All the best!
Farm EVERY night method: 1) TP to Shee Veneer Shrine, climb hill behind shrine place fire between statues, face north west (so Hyrule castle is in right corner of screen) 2) Sleep till morning, then immediately sleep till night. 3) Wait, pin on map as needed. Works most of the time with no need for full moon, stars also fall in easy places to reach. (Can TP to nearby shrines to get it).
Paul Sanders thank you, decided on your method and most times star falls nearly directly in back of Ja Baij shrine, easily collected after TP. Great tip.
As I was collecting fireflies to upgrade my sheikah armour I saw a fragment fall just beside Vah Ruta! Talk about luck. Only piece I needed to max out my Ancient set :)
just so that you know, there is a greater flameblade in hyrule castle, its actually easier to get to than this one. 1 enemy, a lizalfos, other than that its just avoiding the sentries
You don't need to wait until a full moon. You can do it every night. All you have to do is wait until morning and then wait until night. Also, it's in between 9:30 and 5:00, not 2:00.
don't listen to what these stupid butthurt comments re saying. It is actually pretty informative and helpful, you put a lot of time into this! Don't listen to them :)
Thanks for this video, man. Very informative. Subbed. It blows my mind how some of these folks in the comment sections are self-proclaimed experts in video-editing and critique. If these wastes of skin spent half as much time being genuinely decent human beings instead of entitled douche-bags, this rock would be a much better place to reside upon. You be you and keep making your videos, I'll keep watching.
I don't see a single person claiming to be an expert in video editing and critique. To say that the critique has no merit is asinine. I find it incredibly ironic you're categorizing the people who are offering him suggestions to improve the quality of his videos in the future as "self entitled douche-bags" while in the same breath complaining about how they aren't decent human beings. Good job on the ridiculous amount of hyperbole. God forbid anyone critique anything, ever. Kind of like how you're critiquing people giving constructive criticism with character assassination and hyperbole... It's almost as if you have absolutely no self awareness...Hm.....
This was a great guide, worked perfectly. The best tip in here is that you can extend your hunting time by starting a new fire and waiting until the next night. 100% worked.
Or if you don't want to waste rupees and go around hyrule looking for materials to upgrade your stealth armor, you could wear the dark set you get from kilton.
Note for the people that already have wood, an upgraded stealth set for the extra movement speed, and a flame weapon: skip to 6:30 where the actual method begins.

Hands down a better method
Could you just teleport to the stable?
Alternatively, you can head to the highest point on Dueling Peaks and do it there instead, making sure that Hyrule Castle is roughly on the right side of the screen. I don’t THINK it rains there, but maybe it just didn’t happen to me in the time that I was doing it. I sat there 16 nights and got 15 fragments which I then used to upgrade some armor

Give raw meats to the dog in the beach village. It will direct you to a chest containing star fragment.

What other beach village is there?
Only problem is that the star fragment in the chest doesn't respawn...

2:25 skips the self-introduction phase.
Thank you both so much lifesavers
thx XD
Another bonus of the flame sword, it keeps you warm so you don't need warm clothes/food on the mountain
If you need the Star Fragments you will most likely have the Rito Set already...
Yeah, but if you put on the Rito Set you can't have the speed bonus from the Sheikah set
But that only works in mildly cold places, not super cold places. In super cold places, you need flameweapon & a piece of cold resistant clothing.
Or a meteor rod
It's the one weapon I use the most. I can't get enough of those great flameswords.
For anyone who doesn't want to spend 19 minutes waiting for this guy to explain what actually needs to be done, with my commentary in brackets:
1. Wait for it to be a full moon phase. (This one actually doesn't matter, I've seen falling stars regardless of moon phase.)

If you don't kill much, you're generally going to be safe for a while.)
There we go, that probably took you less time to read, including commentary, than it took this guy to explain where Kakariko Village is.
PS. I think one of the Bokoblin chests has a Star Fragment in as well, but I forget which one. If you find it, put a stamp there and come back after every blood moon.
Alternatively, Silver Lynels can drop them as well - if you kill enough Lynels, eventually every Lynel except the one near Zora's Domain will be a Silver, with the one in the Colisseum Ruins being the first one. They're hard as hell to fight, but it's easy to remember where they are.
You don't need many Star Fragments throughout the game - I think the only good use for them is armor upgrades, and to fully upgrade all the non-Amiibo armor sets I think you only ever need 14 which is easy enough to do if you keep the ones from quests.

6. Use the Sheikah Slate to mark the impact location.
6. Fast travel to the closest shrine or tower to the impact position possible and collect your prize.
7. Repeat.

How do you wear a sword? Stick it in your head?
Equip it on your back :)

The next day I ask Hino again, what the moon is, and he says it is a full moon. So I go back to the spot and bam another star fragment. This may indicate that the shooting star happens at blood moons as well as full moons. Either that or I got real lucky. Anyway. Thing for the guide. Very helpfull
It actually works on any moon phase, every night. I've gotten 12 in a row just saving and exiting the game after every drop. Had two drop on the same night after opening the game and loading my save. Although that was very rare RNG, one can drop every night. After a save / close app.
Haha Can't wait to try
Isaac Horstmeyer oh hell its work thank u so much
Exploits aren't fun
Pablo1517 to you they aren't... to me grinding isn't fun.
First of all, there is no grinding in this game.
Second of all, exploits are cheating. It's like stealing money for new TV that you want - just in the game. It isn't fun.
12 steps!! What are we in a rehab program. My drug of choice is zelda. 😂
My name is trench. And I’m a Zeldaholic. 😔
I played along with the guide... and sure enough, it worked perfectly. The Star Fragment landed right on the tip of one of the giant ribs surrounding one of the three Hinox brothers, then when I got near fell right next to the Hinox.
I haven't needed to farm anything else in this game, but between Gerudo accessories and amiibo gear, and the fact that I'm very rarely looking at the sky at night, I desperately need Star Fragments.
I just bought this game and I appreciate your video. I can now gather star fragments from the beginning of my game. When it is time to use them I should have plenty. Thanks for explaining the whole process so new players can also get the fragments.
Lol so many guys are afraid of talking. You're a total dork but best kind. Keep talking. Perfect walkthrough
These comments are so rude I don't see any of you making videos on how to catch star fragments and the one guy who does you insult. At least he's helping Unlike you guys.
They are helping.
It's called constructive criticism. Aside from the fact that during release you could do a simple google search and find farming methods, the amount of fat in this video is absurd. He could have edited out repeatedly talking to Hino. He could have edited out a million things. It's 20 minutes of rambling bullshit.
I agree
Boyd The Milkman, there is a difference between constructive criticism and being rude, sarcastic and insulting. Many I've seen have been the later.
Constructive criticism is not an insult unless the person getting criticized is overly sensitive and therefore insulted by things that shouldn't be insulting.
Victoria Counce. I take all videos into consideration and figure out what works for me. I just cleared all 120 shrines and now I'm farming. So any videos on farming really does help. I appreciate the video
Hey bro I know its not your strategy but the way you've done the video is very clear, I got a fragment first try! Great video bro subscribed
Thanks for the support! I tried to make it very clear so anyone could follow this method and be successful.
I had one spawn and the second I got two feet away from it, it despawned. Needless to say I raged. Glad to find a farm method.
Once you get very close, theur bright light disappear and they start obeying to the laws of physics. Maybe you just didn't see it, but it was most definitly on the ground.
Heads up, I found out that if you're too late to catch a star fragment before it vanishes. You can light a fire, sit next to it until night again and it'll still be where it fell when you're done.
If you stand on Cottla and Koko's mother's tall monument just outside Kakariko village from 9pm to 3 am any night, any moon except blood moon, you will have a star fragment fall close enough to a shrine
Hey man, tough to see all the hate on the length of the vid. Not that I don't agree with them, a clean and nicely edited tutorial is my favourite kind. Thanks for all the info and thanks to the commenters too for more info 👍
The funniest thing happened while watch this. Around 6 minutes in I saw a star fragment fall from the sky and land between Dalite Forest and Satori mountain
A star fragment fell and it was on a cliff-side. I thought it disappeared once I got to it. I wish I had known it was in stasis but not knowing brought me here. Thank you!
Awesome tips, but I have a suggestion.
When you do your first full moon, if you own your own house in Hateno you can sit by the fire there. Count out 8 times sleeping by the fire to change the day and you'll be back to a full moon. This saves on checking in the Dueling Stables and it rains there a lot putting out the fire.
Once you count out 8 days, it will be a full moon and you can just warp to the top of the peaks and then follow this awesome method of looking east at Hateno. This saves you also on flame blades and firewood.
Thanks for the guide! Toward the end when you teleported to the closer tower for the star and loading time was cut out. For a moment there i was like what magic is this!?!? THE LOADING TIME IS NOT THERE... HOW GREAT THE GAME WOULD OF BEEN WITHOUT THE LOADING TIME...
Yeah games just don't work that way.... screens gotta load....
Wow. Just read some of the shitty comments on your video. The hubs and I found all your steps and prep to be very helpful! We appreciate the thorough content, and thanks for taking the time to post such rad info.
hey man, I'm sorry your getting so much flack for this video, it was very helpful for me, I had no idea that the Sheika Armor gave a speed bonus when upgraded. although with the latest patch it looks like they changed this process, I now have to close and re open the game
NIce tutorial. But all you need to do is have fire wood and something to light it with. Also bring cold resistance.
Travel to Shee Vaneer Shrine.
Light fire on wood and sit til night. wait for star to fall.
Watch star fall and pick up star.
Save. Exit game and repeat
(after picking up star if time is still before 3am go and wait for another drop. Doesn't matter the moon phase or gear or weapon crap.
you really helped me out with this. I didn't know about the standing still part and now I'm farming like a mad woman. thanks!
Star fragments will actually spawn every night no matter what, Austin John Plays made a video about it.
> get shiekah/dark link armor
> use hino to check for a full moon and pass time until then
> sit on duelling peaks during the full moon
> face east as they will be seen most easily that way
> note: stars only fall from 930 - 2 am
WHY DID THIS BULLSHIT TAKE 20 MINUTES TO EXPLAIN FUCK ME THE METHOD ITSELF TAKES LESS THAN 5
You don’t have to wait for a blood moon.
You just go to the top if dueling peeks where the koror is.
Set up a campfire
Sleep till morning and then sleep till night and there is high possibility it will drop.
It fell 26/30 times for me.
But yah it does take five minutes
I just had one drop on a half moon around 1am. Thanks for the vid, thanks to the reddit guy too.
You don't have to wait for a full moon. Star fragments fall every night, regardless of the moon phase.
in my experience, it Doesnt have to be a full moon...ive been farming StarFrags EVERY night; i just warp to Dueling Peaks, and scan the horizon (somewhat facing Calamity Castle) until i see one drop...i shiekah-scope it, warp to the nearest shrine, pick it up, and warp back to Dueling Tower; build a campfire to wait til noon, then wait til night, and Boom another star spawns That Night...
this video could have been 5 minutes long....
Cassius Dio *Gotta get that unnecessary 10+ minute video length for that UA-cam $$$.*
there is only one ad so he doesn't get extra
I don't see you making a star fragment video be respectful I was thankful to find this
Victoria Powell it really doesn't have to be this long other people have made shorter videos the whole wood and flame sword stuff could have been skipped
Ok,, so where's your amazing video Big B0y
???
Geez all these people on here can't help but to comment on how long the video is, when they should actually be thankful that he took the time to make a farming video. Smh people... Random Respawn, thank you for all of your hard work sir!
Chris Campbell but you would never even say that unless if you trying to sound like a good guy
Exactly...they can quit complaining and just skip past certain parts
@@erica5624 ... And accidentally skip over something which might be important?
The line "It looks like it could fall on our heads any minute" is, if I'm not mistaken, a reference to the majoras mask moon
great stuff man. maybe a little lengthier than it needed to be, but hey you need those youtube bucks
so it seems to me you could just make it night at the stable, then quickly warp to that shrine, since it takes another 30 seconds to hit nine-thirty and that's more than enough time to get to the shrine and look at the right area. wouldnt need wood and fire at all.
Doesn't have to be a full moon. Much faster to use a campfire, set to night, fast travel to high point, and save. Exit the game and relaunch. Get the fragment and repeat. Faster than counting days. I have my amiibo sets maxed out.
1:27 love how the guy walks out and glances at the pile of star fragments.
You can get a star fragment any night but a blood moon. Look out over Hyrule Field from the Great Plateau tower is easier, no climbing. Just put the castle on the very left edge of the screen. It usually falls close to Riverside stable.
It worked, thanks! It did fall near the stable (first star fragment). I just started a camp fire on the tower, sat till morning then sat again for night. Then as soon as I looked at the direction you mentioned, a fragment fell (second fragment). Then I sat at camp fire again and I got my third fragment near Central Tower. Good thing I re-order the comments to newest. Thanks for your help. o(^▽^)o
You need lots of wood to pull this off every night.
I literally just got one moments after a blood moon. I'm really not sure about this moon business 😅
The Labyrinth Island to the Northeast of Akkala Ancient Technology Laboratory also has a Great Flameblade that's easier to get to, in my opinion; clear the shrine, then warp to it, take the stairs to the right going down and follow the path until you reach a loft heading up blocked by thorns. Burn the thorns with fire, climb up the loft, and follow that path to a Great Flameblade that will consistently reappear when the game resets after each Blood Moon. You could easily collect two, if need be, by also collecting the sword in this, but the journey to the sword in the labyrinth has no enemies, is a short trip, and easy to find.
I found out an even easier way, you warp to the plateau tower, climb up on the lip, get your camera so the left edge is just touching the castle, and a star will fall pretty quickly very close to one of those two very close together stables. sometimes it falls in the river, but these are super fast spots to get to
what's more, I found out you have to change time to noon before you change it to night, in order to reset the star-get thing
I put this in 2x and I understood everything he said like he speaking normally just slightly faster
Another really good spot is going to the Great Plateau Tower and looking towards the castle it normally lands by the central tower or the riverside ranch
Why wouldn't you just use the cooking pot to go to 9pm, then warp to the shrine on the mountain before 9.30? Doesn't that save needing the wood or the sword?
You still want the sword. It gets cold up there.
yeah, another 5mn cut out of the painfully long video.
You can't wear rito armor and the stealth armor at the same time. I mean sure, you can drop the night move speed bonus, but then it isn't an improvement. So with that out of the way, since its decided you want the sword regardless (since food would be expensive over time) you might as well set up camp on the tower. In the end do what you want. But you can repeat the method by camping until noon > night once you get your loot, and skip all the other steps. (apparently, based on other community comments) In that case, camping on the tower is definitely superior.
or swap to the stealth armor while your gliding down and out of the cold or after you warp to the tower
a fun alternative way that you can get star fragments later on after beating ganon you can fight silver Lynels and they can have a chance to drop 1 or 2 star fragments and if none drop you can load a pre kill save and keep killing them till you finally get some, think in the colosseum if you beat all 4 divine beasts a silver lynle also shows up
Not as well edited as your dragon farming for rupee guide but still very thankful, buddy. Maxing out that guardian armour to 82 defense
All the amiibo costumes (eg. the specific Link costumes) need these. Except for the Fierce Deity (they need dragon parts).
Cool video man. I hear I need these for some armor later in the game so I went and got 15 for when I get the chance. I normally run a good luminous stone route after every third blood moon and end up with about 150-160 stones every run. With other stones I pick up during game play I can make 15k-17k rupees and that's more then enough to get whatever you want. I have 70 shrines, 90 korok seeds and two divine beasts beat as if 8/13/17 and only been playing for 5 days now.
Ummm... Yeah.. I think Nintendo fixed this. It worked my very first night on the mountain but haven't seen one to fall since. Did everything you said in the video. I went to the stable, made sure the guy said it was a full moon, went up to twin peaks and made a fire until night, it worked the first night so I thought I was golden.. I then made a camp fire camped 8 nights and nothing. I have tried 4 times now camping 8 nights and waiting until at least 2AM and I haven't had any luck.. So just a heads up for everyone who wants to try this..
I think so too. I've tried for like an hour with both saving and reloading and the method described in the video, and I've got nothing.
I guess they didn´t just improved the framerate ._.
Nintendo, why? This is so annoying
Travis Scott BeardBear did another step with this method: he has to save and exit out of the game during a full moon and the star fragment falls every time. try it. i myself have not tried this whole method yet. i just luckily stumbled on 2 star fragments while i was just traveling aimlessly and got another 2 in treasure boxes (there is one inside Hyrule Castle).
Idk, it worked for me (4th july 2017).
Worked for me
You can trade monster parts to Kilton to get the Dark Armor set, which also grants the night speed up boost without having to upgrade the clothes at all. For the Sheikah set you need to do 6 total upgrades.
Worked for me. 3/15/24..... literally every guide/glitch i looked up worked in March of 2024. Arrows, weapon duplicates, and this one. Nintendo is not doing anymore updates so these glitches/strategies should be permanent
0:05 The look on Link's face, it's like he's thinking "so shiny..."
I swear, every other time I try this, it’s raining, lol. I end up having to pay for a bed, or I’ll go to the shrine and build a fire in the opening of the shrine.
thanks for the hint with the npc telling about the moon phases, I always wondered how to know the next blood moon. (y)
did the patch fix this method!! I've been standing up at the top of mountains for like 5 save reloads now and nothing! was full proof before!
Yeah the patch fixed it/made it more complicated from what I understand
I play on Wii U so they don’t update so it’s patched
THX SO MUCH...i needed a star fragment for enchanting my ancient jeans..so thx
Don't need to wait for whatever moon. Can do nightly from duel peaks with camp fire...
I actually had the fragment falling in the same place every time, and had more than one at a time.This was months ago and cant quite remember exactly what it was I was doing, but there is a way. I promise you. not sure if it makes a difference, but it happened on/around death mountain.
Isn’t Reddit just a place people go to argue? Good vid. Thanks. Oh also, you weren’t even close to my “wood” . Thanks for trying though!
Idk if you figured this out by now but when ever I'm farming with a self made fire I light again it before I leave so that it doesn't disappear. It's a small bit of information but it helps to know.
So I had everything I needed when I watched this video and did the whole wait for full moon thing and all... Nothing. Waited all night, no fragment. Decided to massacre a bunch of guardians for parts and raid the castle before trying again. Instead of waiting for A full moon, just did it to see what would happen. Fragment... Repeated the next night, another fragment. So far three nights back to back I've gotten one to fall. So it doesn't have to be a full moon to happen. Thanks for posting this though, knowing and easy way to farm these is a huge help. Now if only Lynel parts were this easy!
Brandon Patterson Actually, it's not that it doesn't need to be a full moon for it to happen, it's that it can't be on a blood moon. This video explained it wrong
A star will fall every single night regardless of moon phase. They are guaranteed to fall between 10pm till 3am. However, after you get one, save your game, exit your game and then reload the game. Only one star will fall per play session, so restarting your game makes a new play session. I farmed 30 in a few hours last night in Master Mode.
They VERY FIRST time I tried this had the great flame blade , wood, went to location not worried about moon cycle. Made campfire BTW enemies spawn right away lol. Then looked and made my red dot and boom at 930 star fragment dropped right below hateno tower! Made blue dot. Fast traveled and collected. Going back for my second try
2nd try I did save about 8 times BUT! I sat until morning then sat until night like another video suggested also said it could fall as late as 3qm. Let's see what happens 3rd time about 7th moon cycle. This time I saved and loaded save to see what would happen with 4th try
Oh speaking of star fragments. So I just got the full upgraded master sword after trial of the sword and but a campfire at lurlin village and a star fragment dropped on my campfire and it spawned about 50 star fragments.
You can use the dark link outfit for style points as well since it also gives night speed up
could be explained in less than 2 minutes
Could you stfu in less than two minutes ?
How can he stfu if he's typing numb nuts?
So true
@@oelen2132 no you stfu
Thank you for the information. Mine came at 950 pm before the moon came up.
Gonna be trying this tonight!! Cool video, thanks!!!
Thank you, I was wondering how I'd get enough of these for the Amiibo set upgrades, plus everytime I've seen a star fragment fall in my game I've missed it. Only managed one from a treasure chest on an island in Faron Sea so far.
Thanks a lot !! Your the first working star farming I find :)
Couple tips. U need to upgrade stealth set through fairies to lvl 2 to get night speed up. Also, you dont need cold resistance food if you have the flame blade equipped at night. All the best!
I prefer to use the phantom Gannon armour or upgraded radiant armour so all the stal monsters leave me alone to do my nighttime business!
Farm EVERY night method:
1) TP to Shee Veneer Shrine, climb hill behind shrine place fire between statues, face north west (so Hyrule castle is in right corner of screen)
2) Sleep till morning, then immediately sleep till night.
3) Wait, pin on map as needed.
Works most of the time with no need for full moon, stars also fall in easy places to reach. (Can TP to nearby shrines to get it).
Paul Sanders thank you, decided on your method and most times star falls nearly directly in back of Ja Baij shrine, easily collected after TP. Great tip.
Are you sure you didn't want to explain how menus work? Maybe give some detail on how to control the camera?
Ultimaniac lmfao!!! XD
Troll ... maybe not to the point but he’s helpful in many many guides
As I was collecting fireflies to upgrade my sheikah armour I saw a fragment fall just beside Vah Ruta! Talk about luck. Only piece I needed to max out my Ancient set :)
I love the Stealth Set use it all the time for hunting.
Great video! I don't like reading so copy/paste content from reddit to video is great for me. lol
you could used the dark link set 4:59
You're awesome, bro!
Oh and love the vid random. Good job. I'll credit the Reddit lol too.
just so that you know, there is a greater flameblade in hyrule castle, its actually easier to get to than this one. 1 enemy, a lizalfos, other than that its just avoiding the sentries
Thanks for making the video.
Added to my smart Zelda play list
got the dark link costume so i already have night speed but make a tutorial how to get dark link for the others
Just got the game really like your vids!
You don't need to wait until a full moon. You can do it every night. All you have to do is wait until morning and then wait until night. Also, it's in between 9:30 and 5:00, not 2:00.
don't listen to what these stupid butthurt comments re saying. It is actually pretty informative and helpful, you put a lot of time into this! Don't listen to them :)
Thanks for this video, man. Very informative. Subbed. It blows my mind how some of these folks in the comment sections are self-proclaimed experts in video-editing and critique. If these wastes of skin spent half as much time being genuinely decent human beings instead of entitled douche-bags, this rock would be a much better place to reside upon. You be you and keep making your videos, I'll keep watching.
Marshall exactly! So rude, it's his video and he took the time to make it for their use.
Uddjdkkfyjjfgj as touching as your username
I don't see a single person claiming to be an expert in video editing and critique. To say that the critique has no merit is asinine. I find it incredibly ironic you're categorizing the people who are offering him suggestions to improve the quality of his videos in the future as "self entitled douche-bags" while in the same breath complaining about how they aren't decent human beings. Good job on the ridiculous amount of hyperbole. God forbid anyone critique anything, ever. Kind of like how you're critiquing people giving constructive criticism with character assassination and hyperbole... It's almost as if you have absolutely no self awareness...Hm.....
Worked exactly. Thanks.
I maxed out my ancient armor already and I only discovered star fragments 2 weeks ago and naturally had falling star drop very near me.
This was a great guide, worked perfectly. The best tip in here is that you can extend your hunting time by starting a new fire and waiting until the next night. 100% worked.
Thanks. Lots of details.
Then finally get one the night AFTER a full moon. The full moon shit is nonsense
Or if you don't want to waste rupees and go around hyrule looking for materials to upgrade your stealth armor, you could wear the dark set you get from kilton.
I like how they look exactly like the everlasting gobstoppers from the willy wonka movie.
