All Specter Locations

Specter Locations in Inazuma

Currently, Specters can only be found on Watatsumi, Seirai Island, and Enkanomiya! All Specters have the same item drops, so it won't matter which Specter type you farm.

Note: the numbers on the map indicate how many Specters may be found in each location.

Watatsumi Island Specters

Watatsumi Island has Specters spread far apart from each other, making it take longer to farm all of them.

Seirai Island Specters

Seirai Island has the most Specters that can be found in Inazuma. It is also has the easiest farm route for them.

Enkanomiya Specters

Cryo, Electro, and Pyro Specters can only be found in Enkanomiya. However, they still drop the same Spectral Heart, Husk, and Nucleus.
