Spirit Shards can be found throughout Agrabah, taking out Large Bodies and Soldiers.
If you’re looking for a farming route, try disembarking in the Storage Closet or inside Aladdin’s House. Then run through the Main Street and Plaza area (and maybe try the surrounding areas too) and defeat all the heartless. After that, leave the world from any save spot and re-enter to repeat the process. ..
With synthesis, you can create a variety of items with Spirit Shards, including common healing items, accessories, and more. ..
These shards are a common material for synthesis in KH1 and KH1.5 Remix.
Where To Get Spirit Shards
There are many ways to farm spirit shards, and each has its own benefits and drawbacks. Here are some of the most popular methods:
- Farming spirit shards from defeated enemies. This is the most common way to obtain shards, and it’s also the easiest method. You can simply kill enemies to collect their shards, or you can use spirit bombs to defeat them quickly.
- Gathering spirit shards from natural sources. This is a more challenging method, but it can yield higher rewards than farming enemy shards. You can find spirit shards in rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water, or you can find them in trees and other plants.
- Trading spirit shards with other players. This is a more involved process than either gathering or farming spirit shards, but it can be rewarding if you’re patient and know what you’re doing. You can trade your Shards with other players for items that you need or want, or you can sell your Shards on the auction house for a higher price than normal. ..
White mushrooms are OK, and Bambi is a reasonable option if you’re willing to go to Neverland and continually summon him with a strategy in mind. But tearing through Soldiers & Large Bodies will probably be much easier.
Soliders
These armored people are found almost everywhere, but mainly in Traverse Town, Hollow Bastion, Agrabah, Monstro, and Wonderland.
They will have an 8% chance to drop a shard.
Between these guys and the Large Bodies, you’ll have the best time farming shards from them in the Agrabah streets. So you can just clear the streets, hit the save spot in Aladdin’s house or in the Storage Room, then leave the world and re-enter to fight more.
Large Bodies
The Large Body Heartless is a large, bouncy lad with a big, fat belly.
These guys are found in the same locations as the Soldiers, which makes farming easy. Plus, Large Bodies have a 10% chance to drop Spirit Shards, so these will be your go-to for grinding out shards in the streets of Agrabah.
White Mushrooms
There are three rare heartless in fixed locations around various worlds. You have to cast the right spell based on each move they do (and you want to hit 3 correct spells in a row for the best rewards). ..
If an Aero spell is the last spell you cast on a White Mushroom, it’ll always drop a spirit shard 100% of the time.
Bambi
Bambi will periodically drop HP/MP orbs as he fills up his gauge. As he fills up the gauge, Bambi will drop items and prizes. The items and prizes can be used to improve Bambi’s stats, or to purchase new abilities for him.
If you manage to fill up your inventory three times, he’ll have a 60% chance to give you a Spirit Shard.
This Bambi technique will only work in the Neverland of your dreams.
While the 60% drop rate seems nice, it can be difficult to fill up the gauge three times. So farming in Agrabah is still a lot easier – and likely much faster too.
