The best place to farm Frost Shards is at the Entrance Hall in Hollow Bastion, since a good handful of Blue Rhapsody spawn in an easily farmable area. You can also disembark in the Library to quickly reach the Entrance Hall, then leave the room & re-enter to repeat the process.
If you’re not at Hollow Bastion yet, or just want an alternative, then you can also farm Frost Shards in Wonderland’s Lotus Forest. Lots of Blue Rhapsody heartless will spawn right near the entrance when you enter the forest, and when you get to the back of the forest near the Tea Party room. ..
Since Bambi’s summon can also drop these shards in Wonderland, it’s definitely a good location to consider.
Frost Shard Farming (KH1 + KH1.5)
If you’re looking to farm shards, the best option is to use the little magical Blue Rhapsody flying heartless creatures. ..
- Take a look at all of our options: There are a few ways you can get these shards, so let’s take a look at all of our options. We can try to find someone who can help us, or we can try to find another way to get them.
Blue Rhapsody
Floating music lovers can be found all over the game, but mostly in Traverse Town, Monstro, Wonderland, Hollow Bastion, and the End of the World. ..
If you’re looking to farm Frost Shards, it’s important to know that their drop chance is 12%. ..
- The city’s central square, where the sound of grinding can be heard throughout the day.
- A small, secluded alleyway near the city’s outskirts, where the sound of grinding is muffled and can only be heard at night. ..
The entrance hall of Hollow Bastion is a beautiful and eerie place. It’s home to the winding staircases that lead up to the upper levels of the castle. The Lotus Forest is a beautiful and eerie place, too. It’s home to the many trees that are so tall and wide that they look like they could support a large building.
White Mushroom
The people who seem to have the good drops always seem to be the ones who are in control.
Blizzard has been known to cast Frost Shards on enemies, so it’s important to wait until they do so.
Blizzard is the only spell you need to cast on Frost Shards.
If you only use Blizzard spells, you’ll have a 100% chance of getting a Frost Shard when looting. ..
Bambi
If you summon Bambi in any world, his charge gauge will fill up and he’ll drop rare rewards depending on what world you’re in. As his gauge fills up, he’ll drop more powerful rewards. ..
If you summon Bambi in Wonderland and defeat enough enemies to fill up the gauge 2 times, he’ll have a 40% chance (20% in Final Mix) to drop a Frost Shard.
If you manage to fill up the shard three times then he’ll have a 60% chance of dropping it.
Summoning a Blue Rhapsody in Wonderland can be advantageous because there are many sources of drops in the Lotus Forest. ..

Are Frost Shards Worth Farming?
While they are definitely worth getting, I don’t think you’ll need to devote too much time to farming these shards individually. ..
You should have gathered a decent amount by playing the game normally, but you should also run past Heartless groups.
If you’re looking to farm extra EXP or shards, I would recommend farming the Hollow Bastion Entrance Hall. It should give you a good amount of both and can also be a fun challenge.
If you’re looking for easy fights, try Wonderland’s Lotus Forest instead.
These shards are among the easiest synthesis materials to farm. So you’ll rack up plenty of them in a short period.
