*Azhdaha and the Primo Geovishap can only drop Shivada Jade when they’re aligned with Cryo.

A larger version of Clockwork Meka, known as the Experimental Field Generator, also drops a larger version of a Clockwork Meka gear, the “Tourbillon Device.” Charlotte uses this device in her ascension.

Local Specialty - Beryl Conch Locations
Beryl Conches are dotted around Fontaine and are the local specialty used for Charlotte’s ascension. They’re found underwater, so players will need to dive for them.
However, some vendors also sell them. Hinterman, the fishmonger near Poisson, sells five of them every three days for 1,000 Mora. Xana, the Melusine, also sells a set of ten of them just once, and they must be bought all together, though for only 1 Strange Part. She’s only available as a vendor after finishing theAncient ColorsWorld Quest series.
Talent Books - Justice
The talent book series she’ll need is the Justice series, which is obtainable from the Pale Forgotten Glory domain in Fontaine. It’ll drop these books on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
Trounce Materials - Lightless Silk String
The final item needed for Charlotte’s talents is the Lightless Silk String. This item can only be obtained by defeating the All-Devouring Narwhal trounce domain. Of course, this domain is only unlocked by clearing the Fontaine Archon Quest. However, players who have reached Adventure Rank 40 can Quick Challenge it, but in solo mode only.
