But did you know that you can skip the transmuting and farm the resource indefinitely by simply challenging two level 40 dungeons? Here’s how to find the game’s secret dungeons and unlock an infinite source of Vein Crystals in DragonSword: Awakening.

All Secret Dungeon locations in DragonSword: Awakening
Not highlighted on the game’s map or reachable via fast travel, you can find the Ruins Beneath The Waves and Sunken Ruins secret dungeons in DragonSword: Awakening by diving to the bottom of the sea.
More specifically, Ruins Beneath The Waves can be found west of A Forgotten Heaven, while Sunken Ruins can be reached by diving from the shores right of the Goblin Bandit’s Cave Dungeon on Hill of Journey. You will need to have both access to the Swim Dash familiar ability and a few stamina regen dishes to reach both domains.
Completing the dungeons will also net you a good amount of Crystals of Reverie/Oblivion and Remembrance/Recollection. You can check out an overview of everything each offers below:
- Ruins Beneath The Waves: 15 Vein Crystals, 20.000 Gold, 10 Crystals of Reverie, and 10 Crystals of Oblivion
- Sunken Ruins: 15 Vein Crystals, 10.000 Gold, 10 Crystals of Remembrance, and 10 Crystals of Recollection
How to cook the best stamina recovery dishes in DragonSword: Awakening
As mentioned above, you will need to stock up on general and swimming-focused stamina-recovery dishes to survive the trip down to either domain, with a few Egg Renews being must-haves. Here are all of the dishes capable of offering swimming and stamina boosts, as well as how to cook them:
| Dish | Recipe (Type) | Effect | Uptime |
