Where to Find All of Wriothesley’s Ascension and Talent Materials

Gemstones - Where to Find Shivada Jade

Shivada Jade is the Cryo gem that all Cryo characters need, including Wriothesley. It can be found in a variety of ways (check out our guide for a full list!), but most of it will come from defeating bosses. These are the bosses and trounce challenges that can drop Shivada Jade:

*Azhdaha and the Primo Geovishap can only drop Shivada Jade when they’re aligned with Cryo.

Enemy Drop - Where to Find Clockwork Meka Gears

Clockwork Meka enemies come in many forms, and can be found almost anywhere in Fontaine. However, they are found in higher quantities in certain places.Check our guide here for farming routes.

Otherwise, make note that these enemies need to be higher levels to drop better items.
