Genshin Impact Sternshield Crab locations for Neuvillette's ascension

Genshin Impact has introduced a bunch of new Sternshield Crabs that can be found throughout the Fontaine region. These small orange foes are part of the Fontemer Aberrant enemy group and drop Transoceanic Pearls, Transoceanic Chunks, and Xenochromatic Crystals when defeated. These items are needed to ascend and level up some in-game characters and weapons, including Neuvillette.

Making his debut version 4.1 — Chief Justice Neuvillette of Fontaine — is expected to require Transoceanic Pearls, Transoceanic Chunks, and Xenochromatic Crystals to fully ascend and level up his talents. This guide will assist players in pre-farming Sternshield Crabs for this unit so they can be prepared to level him up upon release.

5 best locations to find Sternshield Crabs, Neuvillete's ascension material in Genshin Impact

Sternshield Crabs are found across Fontaine in abundance. They can usually be found underwater or along the coastline, and it is quite simple to find these bug-eyed orange critters.

Although it is entirely possible to farm Sternshield Crabs just by exploring this game's map due to their immense presence nearly everywhere in Fontaine, a few locations will be more efficient to farm the aforementioned drops for Genshin's Neuvillette.

There are four big clusters of Sternshield Crabs that can be defeated in the narrow stretch of water between Elynas and the Western Slopes of Mont Automnequi. Three of those can be found underwater, while the fourth is near the Hot Spring puzzle, solving which is a requirement for finding Iron Viscount in Genshin Impact.

While this location might not be as packed as the others, you can find several Sternshield Crabs near the Teleport Waypoints north of the Court of Fontaine. Considering that most of these foes are extremely close to the Waypoints, farming their drops here is a quick way to get some resources.
