Quest Objectives
Checkmark Prepare 440 Shell Shards
Checkmark Donate to Bone Bottom Via Wishwell

Donate to Bone Bottom Via Wishwell During Act 2

An Icon of Hope Main
This quest will only appear on Bone Bottom's Wishwell Board after finishing the game's first act. Upon starting Act 2, go to Bone Bottom's Wishwell to find the quest and trigger it!

If you have 440 Shell Shards already, you can donate the amount to immediately finish the quest. We advise quickly donating the Shell Shards here as there will be minimal use for Shell Shards other than refilling your tools.

I was so sure it was the kind of statue that gives unlimited shard (considering you can only have a limited amount)... I was so sad to see I broke it for the rest of the game... T_T
