All Shadow of Destruction Locations in Honkai Star Rail

As with many things in Honkai Star Rail, Shadow of Destruction items aren’t too difficult to find if you know where to look, and that’s why we’re here. We will point out to all 6 of Shadow of Destruction locations so read carefully to not miss any of them.

Shadow of Destruction No. 1

You will receive the first Shadow of Destruction in Herta Space Station. After you complete the quest Lingering Shadows and kill the first boss the Shadow of Destruction will just pop into your inventory. There isn’t anything extra that you need to do to acquire it. It will allow you to unlock A Falling Star Eidolon which gives you 10 extra Energy when you defeat an enemy with your Ultimate.

Shadow of Destruction No. 2

The second Shadow of Destruction will be given to you as a reward when you complete level 18 the “To Rot or to Burn” main story quest. You will get it after talking to Natasha and it will unlock the Unwilling Host Eidolon for you which allows for a 5% lifesteal when you attack enemies which have Physical Weakness.

Shadow of Destruction No. 3

This Shadow of Destruction will be awarded to you for reaching level 19. You’ll be able to claim Shadow of Destruction alongside other level rewards from Pom-Pom. This one unlocks an Eidolon that increases both your Talent and your Skill by 2 up to a maximum of level 15 called A Leading Whisper.

Shadow of Destruction No. 4

To get the fourth Shadow of Destruction you will actually need to splurge some cash, 1000 Shields to be exact. You will be able to get this Shadow of Destruction from an Underground Shop vendor in Jarilo-VI – a level 8 reward. It will unlock A Destructing Glance Eidolon that gives you an extra 25% Crit Rate when attacking an enemy with Weakness Break.

Shadow of Destruction No. 5

The fifth Shadow of Destruction will also be for sale, from an officer on Herta Space Station – a level 7 reward. It will cost you 500 Hertareum, a currency that you can find either by exploring Herta Space Station or from Adventure Missions. With this Shadow of Destruction, you will be able to unlock the next Eidolon – A Surviving Hope, which increases your Talent and Ultimate level by 2, up to level 15.

Shadow of Destruction No. 6

The last Shadow of Destruction will be available to you when you reach level 30. Again, you need to visit Pom-Pom and reap all the rewards that await you when you reach that level. When you grab the last Shadow of Destruction you will finally be able to get the last Eidolon for Path of Destruction. It’s called A Trailblazing Will and it will give you the ability to trigger your Talent every time you defeat an enemy.
