- Arachne’s first room, hidden bounce pad.
- Yggdrasil’s arena, directly after the fight.
- Banquet hall, breakable wall room before sisters.
- Left of chimera pit after fight.
- Under the adventurer mini-boss fight arena of act 4.
Black market
This one can be found in any of the black markets, so you won’t have to beat yourself up for forgetting about your first black quartz right away. To get this quartz you must locate the green cat (image 2) to understand where you have to go. After that, make sure to feed the cat by going to the dispenser to the right of the black market’s cook (image 1) and activate it. The cat will move from its position and you can quickly run to where it was sleeping to fall down a pit with the first black quartz (image 2).
Arachne’s first hideout
This dark quartz is located in act 1, directly after the first adventurer fight. To get there you need to jump down a hidden platform below a seemingly opened up roof, a bounce pad will launch you up.
After that you can platform your way directly towards your second dark quartz.
Yggdrasil’s arena – castle courtyard
The third dark quartz is located in act 1, directly after beating Yggdrasil, before the castle door. To get there, locate a dark spot on the ground which is right before the door.
And start jumping repeatedly until the ground breaks open (the screen will shake upon making progress towards breaking the ground). Simply jump down the hole and you will find yourself in a room with the third dark quartz.
Banquet hall, room before the sisters fight
When entering the banquet hall in act 2, walk right past the boss door (so DON’T go to the sisters fight just yet) and go towards the wall, which should reveal a cracked portion in it.
Simply attack this damaged wall to break it open and then step into the hatch to find your fourth dark quartz.
Left of the chimera pit
This dark quartz is located in act 3, after the chimera bossfight. After the chimera fight, you can advance to the next room – the chimera pit – which has the remains of the chimera you just slayed.
To reach the dark quartz, simply walk to the left to make the screen scroll into a room containing your fifth dark quartz.
Below the final adventurer mini-boss arena
The final dark quartz is located in act 6, before the fight with one of the 6 adventurers. To reach the dark quartz you must jump down the pit after the fountain…
…and enter the hatch of the right side of the wall…
…where you can collect your sixth and final dark quartz. You’ll be able to go back up if you continue right, where a launch pad will be located to send you back to the beginning of the room.
