How to find all secret dungeons and farm infinite Vein Crystals in DragonSword: Awakening
This is a gaming guide for the video game DragonSword: Awakening, explaining how players can locate two hidden dungeons and use them to farm an unlimited supply of Vein Crystals, a resource needed for crafting high-level equipment. Rather than repeatedly transmuting materials to obtain the crystals, players can repeatedly clear the two level 40 dungeons for a steady, renewable source, saving considerable time and effort for those pursuing late-game gear.
The two secret dungeons, Ruins Beneath The Waves and Sunken Ruins, are not marked on the in-game map and cannot be reached by fast travel; instead, players must dive to the sea floor to find them, requiring the Swim Dash familiar ability and stamina-recovery dishes. Ruins Beneath The Waves lies west of A Forgotten Heaven and rewards 15 Vein Crystals, 20,000 gold and 10 Crystals of Reverie and Oblivion, while Sunken Ruins is found near the Goblin Bandit's Cave on Hill of Journey and yields 15 Vein Crystals, 10,000 gold and 10 Crystals of Remembrance and Recollection. The guide also lists several cookable dishes, such as Egg Renew and Assorted Sushi, that reduce stamina consumption or restore stamina to help players survive the underwater journey.
In short
- Guide reveals two hidden underwater dungeons in DragonSword: Awakening
- Clearing them repeatedly gives infinite Vein Crystals, skipping transmuting
- Requires Swim Dash ability and stamina-recovery dishes to reach them
Explained simply
DragonSword: Awakening is a fantasy role-playing game in which players explore, fight enemies and improve their equipment. Vein Crystals are materials used to craft high-level gear, and players can obtain them by transmuting other materials or through dungeon rewards.
The game’s map and fast-travel system do not lead to every location: some dungeons are hidden and must be found by exploring. Reaching underwater areas can use up stamina, so abilities and food that help with swimming or stamina can matter.
The two dungeons described are level 40, making them part of the game’s later challenges. Their rewards include Vein Crystals and other crafting materials, so repeat visits offer players pursuing stronger equipment another way to gather resources.
