Wild Hearts has a bunch of different ores you can find littered around every area. These ores are things you use to improve weapons and craft armor. The ore you need for certain things changes every so often. For example, in Chapter 1 you might need Corestone, and in Chapter 2 you’ll find use out of Lightstone. In Chapter 3 however, you might need to find the location of a certain ore named Blue Columnar Ore. If you’re wondering where to find Blue Columnar Ore in Wild Hearts, then look further — your answer lies below.
Where to find Blue Columnar Ore in Wild Hearts
You’ll find Blue Columnar Ore on the Nasukodachi Isle in Chapter 3. This is the second area you get to in the game, which you access after finding Minato at the end of the introductory portion. Blue Columnar Ore can be found in this area pretty sparingly. It seems to want to spawn in the cave or rocky areas around the isle. But even if you can’t find any there, there should be enough for you to get what you need from just walking around the isle and keeping an eye out for it while doing your hunts.

What you’re looking for is an object that has a rocky exterior with a blue interior, as shown in the image above. They really seem to stick out thanks to the bright color in the center.
Tsukumo Ore Shrine
Much like other areas and ores in the game, you can also use the Tsukumo Ore Shrine to mine Blue Columnar Ore in Wild Hearts. The Tsukumo Ore Shrine is a Dragon Karakuri you can gain by using the Karakuri upgrade screen in the menus. This allows users to mine and collect materials naturally found in the wild by doing none of the heavy work.
There are downsides to this, though. You don’t get to choose what is collected, and there’s a cap on the amount of items you receive. So it’s best to use the Tsukumo Ore Shrine while also finding Blue Columnar Ore yourself in Wild Hearts.
