Phantom Hourglass Wisdom Gem Locations

In Phantom Hourglass, there are 20 Wisdom Gems for Link to collect in order to restore Neri’s power on Spirit Island. After collecting 10 Wisdom Gems, Neri doubles Link’s defense and decreases the amount of time subtracted from the Phantom Hourglass when he is hit by a phantom from 30 seconds to 15 seconds. After Link collects all 20 gems, Neri quadruples his defense and decreases the time lost to 5 seconds.

This guide will help you find all of the Wisdom Gems.

  • Buy a Wisdom Gem for 500 rupees on Beedle’s Shop Ship.
  • On the Isle of Gust, you must travel through a cave filled with Miniblins on your way to the Temple of Wind. Inside, you will find a chest containing a Wisdom Gem. If you defeat all of the Miniblins, a second chest will appear with a Treasure Chart.

  • Just east of Freedle on Mercay Island lies a chest with a Wisdom Gem. To reach Freedle, you must have the bow in your possession. Bomb the cracked wall on the way to the Temple of the Ocean King. Once inside, hop across the platforms and shoot the eye switch with an arrow. This will pen a path to a new area. Once outside, ascend the stairs and fire an arrow at the eye switch by the cave, causing a statue to rise from the ground. Turn it so that its laser is parallel to the line connecting the Temple of the Ocean King and the Mercay Tavern (the larger building on your map). Bomb the spot where the laser hits a wall and enter the new cavern. When you exit, you will be on Freedle’s small island.
