Like any good RPG, Final Fantasy Resonance has several side quests for you to undertake, and one of them has you bringing Tablet Shards to a mysterious “Princess” who resides in the Oblivion Palace. As well as getting you some powerful gear and items, the Princess’s Reward and Memento achievements/trophies are tied to this collect-athon, so here is our Tablet Shard guide to help you track them all down.
Check out our Final Fantasy Resonance Review for our full thoughts on the game.

Tablet Shards Guide
Scattered across the world of Lapis are many of these Tablet Shards, all with a distinct gold twinkling animation which makes them easier to spot, and none are hidden on the world map – just the locations you enter.
Take the Tablet Shards you find to the Princess in the Oblivion Palace, southeast of Granport Harbour. She has lost her memories except for knowing she is a princess, and returning the Tablet Shards seems to bring them back. She will reward you every time you give her a certain number of tablets by unlocking one of the chests in her treasure vaults.
You will unlock the Princess’s Reward achievement/trophy for opening the first of her treasure chests and the Memento achievement/trophy for helping the Princess regain her second memory, which happens after giving her 60 Tablet Shards.
