Spirit Gems

    
                               

There are 60 Spirit Gems in Phantom Hourglass: 20 Power Gems, 20 Wisdom Gems and 20 Courage Gems. Take them to the shrine on Spirit Island, the tiny island south of Molida Island. When you've collected 10 of one type, and again at 20, the shrine powers up the matching Spirit. To use a Spirit's power, you have to have that Spirit equipped.

What the Gems Do

  • Power Gems (Leaf, the Spirit of Power): 10 gems set your sword aflame and double your attack power. 20 gems quadruple it.
  • Wisdom Gems (Neri, the Spirit of Wisdom): 10 gems double your defense, so you take half damage. 20 gems quadruple it.
  • Courage Gems (Ciela, the Spirit of Courage): 10 gems let your sword fire a thin beam. 20 gems double the beam's width.

Some gems are inside the Temple of the Ocean King and some need items you get later, so you'll pick many of them up on return trips.
