Where the @#%$ is the second piece of Edge of the Irrevocable???

For real...

I somehow missed it on my first attempt at a heretical playthrough. Got to the beginning of chapter 2 having visited everywhere possible in 1 and still only had the first shard.

The quest doesn't seem to point me anywhere in Chapter 1 and the few mentions of it I see online all indicate it's from one of the Aurora encounters, but... it's not on either of their corpses and I haven't found a dialogue option that leads to it.

Does anyone know how exactly to acquire the second piece?

If you’re talking about the glass shard things, one is boss fight in prologue, second is rykard minoris at the mechanicus place after aurora kills herself. The inquisitor will pick it up if you don’t.

Aurora drops an item called Blasphemous Prism, which doesn't look at all like any part of a sword. To be fair though the description is vague and chaos-y enough that it could be.

HOWEVER, picking up that Prism from her corpse does not advance the quest, so I'm guessing that's not it.

It’s not a drop, it’s via dialogue when you examine her after she offs herself.

THANK YOU

Luckily I had a save the turn before that encounter finished so I was able to immediately check.

It is locked behind a Lore (Xenos) check to inspect the console. As you said, this dialogue occurs after the battle and after she stabs the console, dies, and Heinrix walks up to inspect her. It seems possible to miss if you advance the conversation before passing this check first.

No problem, you dirty heretic
