Star Fragments Info

You have possibly 2 days to get one that falls. It, (the star fragment) can roll if you get near it. If you look at the sky between 10:30 & 2:00 (I use 2 a.m. because you have to get the fragment before sunrise.) at night, you may be lucky enough to see one fall. Do a close-up & mark it with one of the temporary pins like how the Old Man taught you when looking for the 4 shrines on the Great Plateau. Find a quick way to it, usually a shrine or tower. It will glow spiking skyward until you are near, then you just grab it. If it falls into water, it is lost & cannot be obtained so if you see one fall but not shine, that is more than likely what happened.

There are several places that are good for seeing them fall. You will need many for upgrading your gear. It is wise to have the paraglider and even better to have Revali's Gale. Sadly, Revali's Gale comes later in the game.

There are 2 places that are good for Star watching. One is on top of the Dueling Peaks at the Shee Vaneer Shrine looking east. Once the moon rises ( around 10:30), start watching. You may need to build a fire & sit for 2 or 3 mornings then sit for nighttime to trigger the star. The other place is Upland Lindor near the Stone Talus looking northwest at Hebra Peak. You'll see the Hebra Tower on the right & the Vah Medoh on the left. It is at Tanagar Canyon north of Tanagar Bridge Stabe & south of Serrene Stable.. This place is easier to travel near where a star falls. Simply travel to Hebra Tower after it falls. Usually, you can glide to it or see a shrine closer to it. I found that if you line up your head with Hebra Peak (the one with a hole through it) you'll get a fragment near the tower most of the time.

Stars that fall east of Dueling Peaks may fall into water. Stars falling looking northwest at Upland Lindor usually falls on snow so it is rare for them to fall into water.

The great thing about the Upland Lindor spot is you can also collect Dinraal's dragon parts. It is possible to shoot it 3 (sometimes 4) times from 9:30 - 10:30 & 1:30 at night to morning around 5 or 8:30. These times depend on where you are standing. You'll have to experiment. Getting a Star Fragment is harder when collecting dragon parts. You'll need to decide which is more important.
