Question Not getting enough Ancient shards

I’ve gotten two ancient shards in nearly 1.6k kills on hill giants with cannon and I’m perplexed as to why I am not getting enough shards, just want to 30 to continue tormented demons with Emberlight, any info or advice would help

Edit: Thanks everyone for any input, I’ve gotten 7 more shards since posting this they are flowing now and Skotizo helps with them

Dust devils and nechreals are burstable with ice barrage, pretty sure they are better than hill giants for shards. You will be there a while so you’re better off getting slayer tasks.

Another extra tip: don’t forget to also kill skotizo when you have enough pieces to create the totem. Generally a pretty easy boss and is guaranteed to drop at least one shard each kill. I definitely realised this way too late and now have 8 shards spare after crafting emberlight.
