Reaching The Wishing Well

The Wishing Well is actually near the Jungle Entrance mystic gateway, and it is not accessible until you complete the main quest in mid-game. Completing that quest will unlock a favor or side quest that takes you to the location shown on the map above.

Follow the path from the mystic gateway, and you’ll reach an entrance to the cave with a chain outside. Follow the path towards the inside, and it will directly take you to the wishing well in the game. The path is quite linear inside, and you will not get lost there.

This is what the wishing well in Vanaheim looks like in God Of War Ragnarok. Here, you will be able to obtain the shining crystals in the game. But there is one last thing that you need to do first.

Collecting Crystal Fragments

There are various yellow crystals in the wishing well room. Not only are such crystals available here, but they are also scattered around the crater region of Vanaheim in God Of War Ragnarok. You need to break these crystals wherever you find them. Breaking these yellow crystals will drop crystal fragments.

Pick these crystal fragments up. You’ll need them in order to get the shining crystals in the game.

Throwing The Crystal Fragments In The Well

Finally, you have to throw the crystalline fragments that you collected by breaking the yellow crystals into the wishing well. You will receive many rewards, and one of them will be the shining crystal in the game. This is how you can obtain shining crystals. It is a long process, but your goal should be to keep an eye out for yellow crystals in the overworld.

Uses Of Shining Crystals

The shining crystals are a rare form of resource material and are required to upgrade your Shields in the game. You will obtain these only through the wishing well, so you should choose wisely on the shield that you want to upgrade using the shining crystals.
