      • They are found in the area near the entrance and at ( 133, 110, -81 ) Copy, they respawn. They can also be found in the lava pool where the phoenix spawns ( 139, 110, -81 ) Copy but there will be aggro. The simplest way to get them is to fish them out at the entrance without aggro.

After teleporting, follow the hallways north and east to a big room with dead drakes and giants. Mine all the drake shards needed here.
