Dragon Quest VII Reimagined: All Fragment Locations

Finding fragments and piecing together new islands is the core mechanic of Dragon Quest VII Reimagined. While obtaining all colored fragments is mandatory to progress through the journey, that doesn't mean they're easy to stumble upon.

Some are obtained automatically, such as rewards received after toppling a story boss. Others, however, require you to step off the beaten path to collect them. While interface markers help, the game doesn't exactly hold your hand the whole way.

Furthermore, there are entirely optional fragments that unlock bonus areas. These are the trickiest to track down, but they're all detailed here in chronological order, so you can use this guide as a walkthrough from the moment you first venture forth.

The first three Yellow Fragments are required just to open the entrance to the Shrine of Mysteries, so I won't include them here. The subsequent ones, however, will be listed to keep your checklist complete.

The Tower

Green Fragment #1

You automatically earn this one after defeating the Golem.

The Tower - Level 5

Red Fragment #1

This is the first fragment you could technically miss, but it's nearly impossible since it's sitting right in front of you. Pick it up next to a chest.

Ballymolloy (Present)

Green Fragment #2

This one is part of the main story, but I'll add it to the checklist. You must answer "No" when the man asks if you're interested in rainbow stones.

Rainbow Mines (Present)

Red Fragment #2

You will need to head to the bottom level of the Rainbow Mines and collect this fragment before you can proceed with the story.

Red Fragment #3

Another mandatory fragment obtained after you take the raft out for a spin around the castle.

Burnmont (Past)

Red Fragment #4

This fragment is automatically obtained as a reward for defeating the Glowering Inferno.

Emberdale (Past)

Green Fragment #3

Another fragment automatically earned through the main story. This one is handed over by Palmela in Emberdale.

Emberdale: Village Shop (Present)

Green Fragment #4

Enter Palmela's room, which doubles as a weapons shop, to find this green fragment in a corner beside some pots.

Burnmont (Present)

Grey Fragment #1

This is your first entirely optional fragment. You can find it by heading to Burnmont in the present day. You can reach it by jumping down the central crater all the way back to Level 1 — which I recommend, as you can find a Mini Medal along the way — or, once you reach Level 5, take the east staircase and keep heading down.

Grotta del Sigillo - Level 2 (Past)

Red Fragment #5

The Grotta del Sigillo is located in the L'Arca Region, a mandatory area. Once you reach Level 2 of the dungeon, take the first entrance to the west to find this fragment on the floor.

L'Arca: Mayor's House (Present)

Yellow Fragment #4

Sail to the L'Arca Region and enter the Mayor's house. You will find the Yellow Fragment in the back room, oink, oink.

Grotta del Sigillo - Level 1 (Present)

Red Fragment #6

Return to the Grotta del Sigillo during the present day. As soon as you enter the cavern, grab this Red Fragment from an alcove just ahead.

Grotta del Sigillo - Level 6 (Present)

Red Fragment #7

Obtained automatically after your re-encounter with Hackrobat.

Institute of Automatry: Storeroom (Past)

Yellow Fragment #5

Story events will lead you to the Institute of Automatry in the Frobisher Region, but you can visit it anytime once you reach the island. You'll find this Fragment in the storeroom.

Automaton Stronghold - Basement Level 2 (Past)

Blue Fragment #1

Fragment will be yours after defeating the main story boss, Slaughtomaton.

Central Frobisher (Present)

Yellow Fragment #6

Sail to the Frobisher Region and head to the village of Frobisher. Enter the garrison room to the west of the inn to find the Yellow Fragment hidden among some pots.

Faraday Castle: Dungeon (Present)

Grey Fragment #2

Head to Faraday Castle in the Frobisher Region, go up to the King's floor, and exit through the back door. Then, head down either staircase to reach Level 1 and open the gate using the lever on the west side.

Go down into the dungeon to find your second optional Grey Fragment inside the room. The main story will eventually lead you here anyway.

Institute of Automatry (Present)

Yellow Fragment #7

This fragment is automatically obtained upon concluding the present-day storyline of the Frobisher Region.

Roamer Encampment (Past)

The first location you'll visit in the Roamer Encampment Region is the camp itself. As soon as you enter, you'll spot a Grey Fragment near the entrance, sitting next to a tree.

Poolside Cave - Underground Level 3 (Past)

Yellow Fragment #8

This Yellow Fragment is right in your path; it's very hard to miss, though technically possible if you aren't paying attention.

Estard Castle (Present)

Blue Fragment #2

Automatically obtained as you progress through the main story.

Dig Site (Present)

Blue Fragment #3

On the eastern side of the Roamer Encampment Region in the present timeline, there's a new area called the Dig Site. Talk to the man in front of the tent, pay five gold coins, and enter to find this Blue Fragment just lying around.

Pilgrim's Perdition (Past)

Blue Fragment #4

Upon arriving at Pilgrim's Perdition, you'll notice a Blue Fragment to the left of the church. Go over and snag it.

If you open the map, you'll spot a Silver Fragment inside a house, but you'll only be able to claim it after finishing the main event at Alltrades Abbey.

Alltrades Abbey (Past)

Yellow Fragment #9

Automatically earned after concluding the events at Alltrades Abbey.

Alltrades Abbey (Past)

Grey Fragment #4

With the Abbey finally at peace, head to Basement Level 1 and enter the door to the east. Exit through the other side, and once the floor starts shocking you, you'll know you're heading in the right direction. The Grey Fragment is at the end of the path.

Pilgrim's Perdition (Past)

Silver Fragment #1

Now that you've liberated Alltrades Abbey, Zoom back to Pilgrim's Perdition and enter the house to the north to grab your first Silver Fragment. Next to this fragment is a chest containing the Thief's Key, which means it's backtracking time.

Alltrades Abbey (Present)

Yellow Fragment #10

Automatically obtained by speaking with Jacqui in the present-day Alltrades Abbey.

In the desert region of Al-Balad, you'll find the Temple Palace. Upon descending to Basement Level 1, you'll see five doors. Enter the central north door to reach Queen Neferta's Chamber.

Next, go through the door to the right of the throne to reach a backroom where this Grey Fragment sits waiting for you.

There is a cave there called Al-Shallal. When you head deep inside, you'll find your brand-new Gold Fragment.

Al-Balad: Urn (Present)

Grey Fragment #6

Upon arriving in Al-Balad, you can now enter the giant urn in the middle of the village. Inside, you'll find another Grey Fragment.

This Silver Fragment is the reward for handing over 50 Mini Medals to any counter that accepts them. If you need help finding them, check out our Dragon Quest VII Reimagined Mini Medal guide.

The Tallest Tower (Present)

Red Fragment #10

Automatically obtained after you finish The Tallest Tower.

Falls Hollow: House (Past)

Green Fragment #6

While traversing Falls Hollow, you will find a house inside the dungeon. The Green Fragment is right next to a man you need to talk to, so it's nearly impossible to miss.

Hubble - Inquisitory (Past)

Green Fragment #7

I entered the Inquisitory in Hubble by showing the Wizz's Seal of Approval to the guard, but you'll get there eventually via the story. Once inside, grab the Green Fragment from the mage's room.

Hubble Castle: Throne Room (Present)

Green Fragment #8

You need this one to progress with the main story, so it will be yours eventually.

Grey Fragment #10

Upon reaching the Grand Conjuratorium and entering the main building, you'll see an isolated staircase in the middle. There's a clever trick to reach it:

• Go outside the square and enter through the west entrance.
• Leave through the east exit.
• Enter through the north.
• Leave through the south.

If done correctly, a bridge will appear as you step out south. Head down to find this Grey Fragment in a hidden room.

Your first destination in the Aeolus Vale Region will be the Praetor's house. Behind the Praetor himself, you'll find this Blue Fragment lying on the floor.

As the Stranger NPC noted, it was your destiny to arrive here — meaning, yes, this is a mandatory story fragment.

Estard: Underground Path (Present)

Gold Fragment #2

Go to the Underground Path in Estard, the same one you take to speak with the Old Hermit. With the Ultimate Key, you can open the first locked door you encounter and head downstairs. You'll find your second Gold Fragment on the floor below.

Grey Fragment #12

Head to the ship's deck and go down either the northeast or southeast stairs to reach the treasury. The final Grey Fragment is in a room filled with chests.

Coral Cave - Basement Level 1 (Present)

Gold Fragment #3

There are two steps to this one. While traversing the Coral Cave, you likely encountered a large, friendly monster resembling the old Gracos boss. If you spoke to them, they asked you to talk to Scoober to turn them human.

Fast-forward to when Estard Island returns to the world of light; you can spot a whirlpool in the southeast of the island. Sail there to enter King Scoober's Domain. Speak to King Scoober twice, and he'll decide to help. Return to the Coral Cave, talk to the big fella, and he'll reward you with this Gold Fragment.

Coral Cave - Basement Level 1 (Past)

Gold Fragment #4

To reach the Coral Cave in the past, Zoom to the Divine Shrine, take the northern teleportal, and access the Turquoise pedestal. Then, enter the Pool of Piety and take the flower down.

Traverse the Coral Cave, exit to the overworld, and return via the north entrance. As soon as you go down, you'll find two ghosts. Interact with them to get another Gold Fragment.

Buccanham Battle Arena (Present)

Gold Fragment #5

There are new challenges in the Battle Arena, and the first one grants you a Gold Fragment upon victory.

Estard (Present)

While wandering through the dangers of Another World, you'll reach Level 3, which has two exits. Take the stairs heading up to the west to find this Gold Fragment.
