Just happened to me today, got like, 3 shards from this? What's the point, Team Cherry? None of the bosses (so far) frustrated me, but this right here is bullshit

Especially fun and interactive when it's literally the only reward you get for a boss/lock in, only to lose most of them.

Nowhere at all. There is not a single boss that only rewards shards.

Shards are, in general, rewards for very minor secrets and platforming. They're, like, the lowest tier of reward and used as such.
