Queen's Domain Wind Gems: All 5 Locations and Routes
Every Queen's Domain Wind Gem location in collection order, the dash count each one unlocks, plus the Storm Gem difference and fixes for a gem that will not spawn.
Jump to section
Wind Gems are the only real progression gate in Queen's Domain. Each one adds a diamond to the Wind Dash meter, and the island is built around that count rather than around your damage. Here is every gem, in the order you can realistically reach it.
The Five Gems at a Glance
| # | Location | Where to look | Dashes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Endu Shrine | Socketed in the Holy Sword Endu | 1 |
| 2 | Starting island | High ledge by the second Crystal Monument | 2 |
| 3 | Obmuer Temple | Wall opening below the great pit | 3 |
| 4 | Deimpo Mausoleum | Hovering above a carved pedestal between pillars (player-reported) | 4 |
| 5 | Ancient World | Hidden cavern shrine (player-reported) | 5 |
Illustrative route sketch. Markers follow collection order, not in-game map UI.
Gem 1: Free With Endu
Defeat the Shrine Guardian, then lift the Holy Sword Endu from the pedestal behind it. The blade arrives at 10 Power with a single gem already installed, so Wind Dash works the moment you pick it up.
Gem 2: The Starting Island Ledge
- From the first Crystal Monument, walk uphill and dash the gap that leads to the second monument.
- Find the rock sitting between the pillars and climb it for height.
- Face the gem platform and dash. Starting from flat ground will always miss.
Two dashes clear the west broken bridge and open the route to Obmuer Temple.
Gem 3: Below the Great Pit
- Enter Obmuer Temple once four Triangular Slates open the door.
- Reach the second Crystal Monument beside the large pit.
- Look under the pit lip for a wall opening and dash through it.
- Follow the passage to the raised area where skeletons ambush you. The gem sits there.
Collect it before returning to the pit; three dashes are required to cross it.
Gems 4 and 5: Late-Game Pickups
The fourth gem floats above a carved pedestal between stone pillars inside Deimpo Mausoleum, along the elevated walkway that links the chambers with the moving platforms. The fifth sits in a hidden cavern shrine in the Ancient World, well past the point where most players stop exploring.
Both are player-reported; treat the exact approach angle as approximate.
Dash Gates and What They Unlock
| Dashes | What it clears |
|---|---|
| 1 | Short gaps around the starting beach and Crypt |
| 2 | West broken bridge, Obmuer Temple approach |
| 3 | The great pit inside Obmuer Temple |
| 4 | Elevated Mausoleum routes and late skull pickups |
Storm Gem Is a Different Item
The Storm Gem sits in the upper Tower of Knowledge, behind the numbered gargoyle puzzle. It occupies its own socket, grants the charged Raging Tempest attack, adds no dash and does not count toward Feel the Wind.
If a Gem Will Not Spawn
- Recheck altitude before assuming a bug. Most missing gems are reachable only from a higher start point.
- Confirm you have not already collected it: the HUD diamond count is the only tracker the game gives you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the questions players type into search most often.
How many Wind Gems are in Queen's Domain?
Five. Endu starts with one socketed, and the other four are found on the starting island, in Obmuer Temple, in Deimpo Mausoleum and in the Ancient World. Collecting all five unlocks the Feel the Wind achievement.
Does leveling Endu give more Wind Dashes?
No. Weapon levels only add damage, roughly three percent per level. Extra dashes come exclusively from Wind Gems, so a level 10 Endu without gems still cannot cross the west broken bridge.
Is the Storm Gem a Wind Gem?
No. The Storm Gem uses a separate socket, sits in the upper Tower of Knowledge, and unlocks the charged Raging Tempest attack. It adds no dashes.
Why can I not reach the second Wind Gem?
Altitude, not aim. Climb the rock between the pillars near the second Crystal Monument first, then dash from the top. Dashing from ground level always falls short.
Do I need all five Wind Gems to finish the game?
No. Three gems clear the critical path through Obmuer Temple and the Tower of Knowledge. The fourth and fifth are for optional high routes, skull collectibles and the Akunra forge requirements.
