Kerberos Shards are a late-game crafting material obtained by breaking Kerberos Crystals (Primordial, Astral, Mercurial) at the Anvil. They are required for unlocking late-game content and crafting several key items.
Obtaining Kerberos Shards
| Source | Amount |
|---|---|
| Break Primordial Crystal at Anvil | 1× Kerberos Shard |
| Break Astral Crystal at Anvil | 1× Kerberos Shard |
| Break Mercurial Crystal at Anvil | 1× Kerberos Shard |
Crystals drop from Kerberos the Wild at 1/20,000 each (DR applied).
Uses
| Use | Amount Required |
|---|---|
| Unlock Sanctum of the Lost Kings Medium difficulty (one-time sacrifice) | 3× |
| Unlock Umbra the Eternal Hound (one-time sacrifice) | 10× |
| Wandering Merchant Hard tasks (hand-in) | 2–4× |
Notes
- Kerberos Shards from crystals are the only source — you cannot obtain them any other way
- Plan ahead: unlocking Umbra requires 10 shards, which means farming enough Kerberos kills for 10 crystals
- Each crystal type gives 1 shard — you need all three types to accumulate shards efficiently
