Leaving the Lobby with only one
There are two reported Lobby shards: one behind the Top Robux leaderboard and one on a left ledge reached from the tall booster.
All 9 Sunken Shard locations
A stage-by-stage route for the exact +1 Speed Monkey Escape, including two Lobby shards, two Stage 7 shards, and the reported x2 Speed Treadmill reward.
Collect two shards in the Lobby, then one each in Stages 2, 3, 4, and 6, two in Stage 7, and the final shard on the third central platform in Stage 9.
Pro Game Guides and AllThingsHow independently agree on the nine locations and report the same reward; exact-game videos by Vorzy Brookhaven (2026-08-02), MineBlox (2026-07-28), ItzVexo (2026-07-25) show the same nine-shard route. Google Search Console now shows extra exact-intent questions around stages, pictures, and “where exactly,” so this page adds source-bound answers without inventing screenshots. The map and reward can change; this page was checked August 16, 2026.
Step by step
Follow the route in order
- 1
Lobby — behind the Top Robux leaderboard
Start on the left side of the lobby and walk behind the Top Robux leaderboard structure. The first shard is reported at the rear, so circle the full object instead of checking only the front-facing board.
Collect both lobby shards before entering the stage route; it makes a later recount much easier.
- 2
Lobby — ledge from the tall booster
Use the tall vertical booster in the lobby, then turn toward the left-side ledge. Control the landing rather than holding forward at full pace. The second reported shard sits on that elevated side route.
- 3
Stage 2 — base of the small left pillar
Around the middle of Stage 2, identify the small pillar on the left. The shard is reported at the bottom, not on top. Drop or dive carefully, confirm the pickup, then return to the main obstacle line.
- 4
Stage 3 — behind the final right wooden block
Near the end of Stage 3, move to the wooden block on the right and circle behind it. The collectible is hidden from the normal forward-facing line, so slow down before leaving the stage.
- 5
Stage 4 — top of the left structure
Before the transition into Stage 5, climb the structure on the left. Check its top surface before following the obvious route onward. This is an easy shard to miss when Speed carries you into the next section.
- 6
Stage 6 — under the second central platform
Count the central platforms in Stage 6 and stop at the second one. Inspect below its edge. Do not assume the shard is on the crossing surface; the reported position is underneath the platform lip.
- 7
Stage 7 — central green platform
Near the end of Stage 7, cross to the central green platform and inspect it before the final section. This is the first of two reported shards in the same stage, so keep your checklist open.
- 8
Stage 7 — side ledge by the last platform
From the last platform, look off the main line for a small side ledge. Move deliberately and check the ledge before finishing the stage. Mark Stage 7 complete only after both shard boxes are ticked.
- 9
Stage 9 — third platform in the tsunami section
In the tsunami section, count to the third central platform and inspect its right corner. Avoid rushing straight ahead with the hazard. This is the ninth reported location and the end of the checklist route.
Stuck fixes
Common mistakes and recovery
Checking only platform tops
Stage 2 is at a pillar base and Stage 6 is under a platform edge. Look vertically, not only along the running surface.
Counting Stage 7 once
Stage 7 has two reported pickups: the central green platform and a side ledge beside the last platform.

FAQ
Questions players ask
How many Sunken Shards are in +1 Speed Monkey Escape?
Two recent exact-game guides agree on nine reported locations: two in the lobby and seven across Stages 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 9.
Which stages have Sunken Shards?
The reported shard route is Lobby x2, Stage 2, Stage 3, Stage 4, Stage 6, Stage 7 x2, and Stage 9. Stage 5 and Stage 8 are not part of the current nine-location route in the public guide packet.
Do you have pictures of every shard?
Not yet. This page avoids uploading unverified screenshots, so use the exact landmark wording and the linked video sources when you need visual confirmation. If a live map no longer matches these landmarks, treat the page as stale and check the updates page.
Where exactly should I look first if I am missing one shard?
Start with the off-route spots: behind the Top Robux leaderboard, the left ledge from the tall lobby booster, under the second central platform in Stage 6, and both Stage 7 positions.
What do Sunken Shards give?
Both guides report an x2 Speed Treadmill reward for collecting all nine. Treat that as a reported reward that may change after an update, not a guarantee from this site.
Why am I stuck at eight shards?
Recheck the second lobby ledge, both Stage 7 locations, and the underside of the second Stage 6 central platform. Those positions are off the obvious forward route.
Can the shard locations change?
Yes. A material map or event update could move a collectible or change the reward. Check the updates page when a known route no longer matches the live game.
