The special event Memory Shards are obtained bydigging up gold treasure cracks.Only one golden treasure crack appears each day, and the exact location varies for everyone. To find it, you need to check all the biomes around the valley. Once you locate it, equip your Royal Shovel, dig it up, read the clue, and find the right spot mentioned in it.

You’ll get a special golden chest from breaking the obstacle at the right location, which then grants you a golden Memory Shard. Complete this task twice to finish the Expert Treasure Hunter duty.
