  1. Check the two underwater coins in the diving sections near the Area 14: Underground Water Vein camp and a Curioshell Crab spawn point east of the camp.
  2. Fast travel to the Area 6: Valley Hideaway camp and head southeast for a possible Curioshell Crab spawn.
  3. Reach the mountaintop near Area 17 for another Curioshell Crab Spawn.

Search for Ancient Wyvern Coins in the Scarlet Forest

Scarlet Forest Ancient Wyvern Coins

The Scarlet Forest is another good location for finding Ancient Wyvern Coins. Follow these steps to check all known spawn points in the Scarlet Forest:

  1. Start from the Area 6: Flowering Rocks camp and search for a Curioshell Crab near the exit. Then, look for a shining Ancient Wyvern Coin underwater in the nearby fishing spot.
  2. Fast travel to the Area 8: Underground Lake camp and search for a Curioshell Crab near the fishing spot. Then pass through the nearby diving spot to the other fishing spot for another possible coin spawn location.
  3. With your Seikret, get to the treetop in Area 8 for another possible Ancient Wyvern Coin spawn point.
  4. Move to the secret area behind the large waterfall in Area 12 and enter the large diving section. An Ancient Wyvern Coin can spawn in the section where you swim between the underground ruins.

There is a 2nd spawn in the Scarlet Forest Area 8, if u dive to the other side.

Hit sent too early my bad lol, On the final Area thats listed here in the Plains. You go left from where you catch the crab and then theres another left with another dive section. Inside that dive area you can also grab a coin. Basically just check these spots along with the crabs and it should be x2 as fast. (As in the coins arent always guaranteed to be there, just like the crabs)
