To progress in the story of Anthem, you need Corium. We will show you how to easily obtain the material.
What is Corium? To advance in the story of Anthem, you will eventually need to craft a Dawn Shield for your Javelin. For that, you need various materials and the rare ingredient Corium.
You can find Corium from the rare Skar units called Eskari and from Titans.
How do you get the Shield? You obtain the blueprint for the Shield by following the story and then completing either Sentinel Dax missions or the “Triple Threat” quest known from the demo by Matthias. You can find a little help regarding the barriers in the questline here.
However, if you complete both quests, you can drastically reduce the costs for the Shield.
How to find Corium in Anthem
We have two recommended steps to obtain the rare material. Those who enjoy open-world gameplay can indulge in Freeplay, but please don’t stay too long. However, the quickest way to acquire the items is through a quest.
Corium in Freeplay
If you like exploring Anthem’s Freeplay, you can try to obtain Corium in this mode. However, you will need a lot of luck.
The Eskari from the Skar are unpredictable and do not appear in every world event. Sometimes, they bring a secret loot cave with them. Titans are more reliable, and you can track them down using this map:
On this map from the Anthem subreddit, you will find all possible locations of world events. The yellow circles also indicate where Titans may appear.
However, Titans do not always appear in Freeplay at all times.
Corium through Quests
A quick and reliable way to obtain Corium is through the questline “Triple Threat” from Matthias. We recommend completing the quests from Dax and Matthias to reduce costs for the Shield.
However, you should first complete the series from Sentinel Dax to obtain the blueprint for the Shield, and then complete the missions from Matthias to gather Corium.
During Matthias’ quest, you will encounter several Titans that are likely to drop the desired Corium. This way, you can complete both questlines with a bit of luck and continue with the story without having to search long for the material.
