With Nyaal's Senses activated, the locations of all nearby shards will be visible. Look for the beams to reposition yourself and then head in each direction and follow them. You can follow any beam locations you see, but this guide will lead you to the Shard locations near, Castrum VII, Outskirts Forest, and the Vast Sands. If you get lost, activate Nyaal's senses to confirm your heading.

• One beam will lead you toward a settlement, Castrum VII. A chest ahead in front of Castrum VII will contain an Idol of Shatter.  Castrum VII is the large guarded structure ahead. Before entering the area, circle around and search the walls and corners to loot a Griffon Figurine (Special) Artefact. Just south of it is the Outskirts Hazed Cave. There will be a glowing item, a Warded Relic protected by a spell. You will need to clear all the Wraiths in the area to clear the spell and access the item.

• Head towards the structure south of Castrum VII. You will need to platform your way up to reach it. You will need to climb a nearby structure to the north and dash your way across in order to reach the shard.

Once you reach the top, there will be a shard for you to pick up and you will only need one more shard to upgrade the Gauntlet. 

Vast Sands

Once one is raised, quickly follow the beam since you will be given a short time limit to reach and raise the next totem in the sequence. Raise all Totems to complete it and you will be near the Shard in the vast Sands, which will be just below the final Sealing Totem in the sequence. As you approach the Shard upgrade, get ready to fight off a few more Wraiths. A Diver will appear. Clear the area then take the third shard to update your objective.

You can then travel to any Anvil to make the upgrade. Select Upgrade Gauntlet to view your available upgrades.

Raise the nearby Anvil before you cross, then use your newly upgraded Dash to jump the gap. 

Once you cross and enter the Shattered Keep, clear any Wraiths you encounter. You will need to make your way in through the Shattered Keep Cathedral. This is past the cellars and the Researchers you may encounter. Head into the Cathedral, and check corners and edges for Chest and loot. Head deeper into the Cathedral and you will find the piece you're looking for, an Enhanced Raise Piece. This will be followed up with a Combat encounter against a Tailguarder and all approaching Wraiths. Clear this area and you will need to continue with Reforging the Gauntlet Part 2: Unearth, which tasks you to find the related Shards for the next upgrade. 

Reforging the Gauntlet Part 2: Unearth

1. Find Unearth Shards (3)

• The nearest Shard will still be in the same location within the Shattered Keep up on the roofs. You will need to find a route to platform up onto the Shattered Keep Roofs. Activate Nyaal's Senses to help direct you to the closest location. If you circle the area, you will find a few scaffolding platforms and planks that will stick out to give you a route to ascend upwards onto the roof. Follow the roof and the rampart paths and continue heading toward the Shard beam. It should be on top of a tower with a flag. Once you approach the shard location, there will be a Sealing Totem on top, sealing the shard. You will need to raise the first Sealing Totem and follow the beams within the time limit until you complete the sequence much like the Sealing Totems you encountered at the Vast Sands. Complete the sequence and quickly run across the roofs to raise all the totems. It will eventually lead you back to the shard. Raise the last totem and you will be able to access the upgrade Shard.
• Another Shard will be in the vicinity of the Shattered Keep on the Shattered Keep Plateau, south of the first Shard's location. Head towards the cliff edges while navigating the roofs to reach it. There will be more Wraiths in the area so be prepared. Use Raise to create a path for you or take you to higher ground. Activate Nyaal's sense if you need direction. Once you get to the plateau, look for a lower platform where you can start platforming and making your way up higher. Once you reach the cliffs, you should be able to pick up the second shard. There will also be a Lore Item, Old Memory, at the end of the cliff. Once you've picked up the Shard, activate Nyaal's senses again to locate the next nearby beam.

2. Upgrade your Raise at an anvil

• You will be led outside of the Shattered Keep. Exit the area and follow the next beam all the way through the Outskirt Cliff Forests. You may pass the Outskirt Bandit area where you can pick up Aftermath of the Battle. Head all the way across till you reach the Shard which is on a cliff overlooking Castrum VII. This will be sealed with another set of Sealing Totems. Raise the first one and quickly follow the activated beam and follow the sequence until all totems are raised. The final one will lead you close to the original location of the Shard. Once you have completed the Sealing Totem, return to the shard and retrieve it.
