Introduction
This guide provides
  1. an overview of how many upgrades can be found in each chapter, and
  2. screenshots and brief descriptions of all emerald locations per chapter as well as per Emerald Altar position.
Please note
  • that screenshots are taken in Zen Mode which means that bombs are not displayed, and
  • that some screenshots are taken facing backwards for better visibility of the upgrade.
Finally, I deduced the relation between emerald locations and positions in the emerald altar on my own. Should you find that any of that information is incorrect, please leave a comment.

!Spoilers ahead!

The Emerald Altar
The Emerald Altar is a place that each player has to pass towards the end of the game. It displays all emeralds that have been found. Originally, it did not display the chapter info (with Roman numerals) for any of the forty emeralds but that feature has been added about a week after release, making the hunt for missing emeralds substantially easier. Here is a systematic overview of the Emerald Altar:



The following sections will provide information on where to find each of the forty emeralds
  • per chapter, and
  • roughly in order of appearance.
If you are looking for a particular emerald you are missing, search (Alt + F) for
"Altar"+[altar position number]

I thought about it but given that there is only one animal that is not directly in your path I considered it would be kind of superfluous. Maybe I'll reconsider...

Thanks, great guides, both of them! Any chance you’re going to make one on the bestiary log?
