All Nova locations in Wuthering Waves: Where to find and the best place to farm Shorekeeper’s ascension material

To the Shore’s End brought to Wuthering Waves the debut of the Black Shores, a new explorable region featuring both new enemies and a new series of resources. Among the latter. however, none is more sought after than Nova, also known as the main ascension material for Shorekeeper.

But given how you will need a total of 60 crystals to fully ascend the game’s new premier healer and the way no seller in the game will have it in stock, knowing where to look will make all the difference. Here are all Nova locations in Wuthering Waves, as well as the best spots to farm the material.

All Nova locations in Wuthering Waves

You can find a total of 97 Nova crystals in Wuthering Waves. They will be divided between the surface of the Black Shores and Thethy’s Deep, the latter which will feature by far the largest amount of it. You can check out the locations of all Nova featured in both areas below, based on both our experience and the values showcased on the game’s gamevlg and wuthering.gg interactive maps.

All Nova locations on The Black Shores

You can find a total of 14 Nova crystals on the surface of the Black Shores, with five of them being located in Tethys Hub and seven in the area’s eastmost area, south of its Waypoint. The remaining two crystals can be found south of the TD Observatory and north of Haven of Sorouts.

All Nova locations on Thethy’s Deep

After unlocking the passageway to Thethy’s Deep during To the Shore’s End and arriving at what is widely considered to be the true heart of the Black Shores, you will be able to find a total of 83 Nova crystals, divided among the Bank of Life, Eidoscope, Error Cell, Energy Hub, and Modulation Hall areas. You can check out the exact locations of all crystals found in each of them below.

All Wuthering Waves Bank of Life Nova locations

To start, you can find a total of 26 Nova crystals while exploring the Bank of Life portion of the map, with the largest quantity of the material being found in its southmost portion, more specifically by the Cyclone Swarm sub-boss. If you are looking to farm fast, I recommend heading to the area’s northmost waypoint and then making your way down.

All Wuthering Waves Eidoscope, Error Cell, and Energy Hub Nova locations

As shown in the image below, you can find 49 Nova crystals across the Eidoscope, Error Cell, and Energy Hub areas, with the largest concentrations of them being located southwest of the Eidoscope Waypoint and in the eastmost portion of the Error Cell area.

All Modulation Hall Nova locations

Home of the game’s remaining eight Nova crystals, you will be able to find the ones located around the Modulation Hall by heading to a small island on the area’s northwestmost portion, as well as to a cliffside located east of the bridge leading to it.

How to get all the remaining Shorekeeper ascension materials

Apart from the already mentioned 60 Nova Crystals, you will also need to expend 170,000 Shell Credits, as well as 46x Topological Confinements, and 4x LF, 12x MF, 12x HF, and 4x FF Whisperin Cores to ascend Shorekeeper all the way to level 90. You can check out how to get each of the mentioned materials below, except the Shell Credits, of course.

• How to get LF, MF, HF, and FF Whisperin Cores: By completing all kinds of Forgery Challenges. You can also purchase a limited amount of LF cores from the Item Exchange Store and get a limited amount of both LF and HF ones from the Jinzhou’s Weapon Shop. All cores but the LF ones can also be acquired by synthesizing lower grace ones.
• How to get Topological Confinements: By defeating Fallacy of No Return at the Data Torrent building. The boss can only be unlocked by completing the final portion of the To the Shores End main quest series.
