Gems
Gems (also known as Pain Crystals) are the sacred crystals which can be collected by the Hero throughout the game. They're often invisible until passed over, and then will appear as small shimmering sparkles. There are 85 in total. When one is collected, the running total appears for a short time at the top left of the screen.
Speaking to the Storyteller after collecting certain amounts of gems will unlock new dialog.
The Knight appears to automatically collect pain crystals after defeating certain enemies, but these are not counted towards the total.
