Sun Fragments (「太陽のかけら」?; Taiyō no kakera) are special stones scattered across Nippon in Ōkami. Most are well-hidden, requiring a very skilled person to uncover them. However, something very special happens if Amaterasu is able to collect three of them.
Usage[]
Sun Fragments are largely used to increase health without the use of Praise. Doing so require the collection of three Fragments, which will yield 1 unit of Solar energy. If Amaterasu ever wants to learn how many more she needs until she acquires a new unit of health, she need not look any further than the Fan Menu. Beneath the equipped Holy Artifacts, Amaterasu has access to a small green-ish counter, separated into three sections, which represent the number of fragments she's found.
Acquisition[]
Through various sidequests, Amaterasu will have access to a grand total of 15 Sun Fragments throughout her journey, rewarding her with 5 total units of Solar energy. In addition to the 15 units she can upgrade to naturally via the use of Praise, this nets Amaterasu a grand total of 20 units of health.
Many times, Sun Fragments appear in Treasure chests after she completed a Devil gate trial cave or a sidequest where one is a reward. Below is a master list of all of the places where she can find the Fragments and a brief description of how to obtain them.
