There are ten Wrath cores in the game. Most of these are earned by collecting Wrath Shards. One entire Wrath Core can be found in Twilight Cathedral.
Another entire Wrath Core can be purchased from Vulgrim. A third Wrath
Core can be attained by selling Vulgrim the Overlord Artifact. The
remaining Cores can be completed via collecting Wrath Shards. Wrath
Shards can be found in Chests hidden throughout the game and one can be
purchased at a Vulgrim location. Collect four Shards to create an
additional Wrath Core and extend your Wrath permanently.

Scalding Gallow
Above Vulgrim is a chest with a Wrath Shard. You need to use Demonic
growth to climb to it. Collect four of these to increase your Wrath
meter.
2 //
Choking Grounds
Go
down the ramp towards the Tormented Gate and look to your left. A
passage leads down on in the northeast corner of the map. Follow it to
find a building with several floors. On floor 2 is a chest with a Wrath
Shard inside.
3 //
Twilight Cathedral
In the room to the east of the room with the three Crystal Blade statues you'll find a chest with a Wrath Shard inside.
4 //
Vulgrim
Purchase this Wrath Shard from Vulgrim.
5 //
Anvil's Ford
In
the north part of the level you get the Redemption chain gun and take
out many, many angels on your way down a hill. At the bottom of this
hill, the northwest corner of the map,look for some Demonic Growth. You
can climb this to reach a platform above. On this platform, look to the
southeast. A visible patch of Demonic Growth is here. Climb onto it and
follow it around to the east. Drop down where it terminates to find a
chest with a Wrath Shard.
6 //
The Hollows
In
the southwest corner of the Hollows is a series of submerged tunnels.
At the far western end of these you'll find a chest with a Shard
inside. It's in the same room with the switch that turns off the
underwater fan.
7 //
The Hollows
In
the far southeast region of the Hollows -- just before the boss -- is a
room you must flood with water. You must destroy two blue crystals to
do so. At the top of this room is a chest with a Wrath Shard inside.
8 //
Drowned Pass
You
can see a wall of blue crystals directly in front of you when you warp
to Vulgrim's location in the Drowned pass. Jump down into the water and
look for a path leading up to the area behind these crystals. It's a
bit to the north and completely submerged. Run up the tunnel and smash
the crystals to find a chest with a Wrath Shard inside.
9 //
Ashlands
Warp
to Vulgrim's location in the Ashlands and due north across the large
desert on Ruin. Go past the wooden towers. Look along the northeast
wall for a patch or blue crystals. Ride over here and destroy the
crystals. Just beyond them is a cave with a chest. A Wrath Shard is
within.
10 //
Iron Canopy
In
the long north-south passage, just south of where the bridge collapsed,
look for wooden panels on the east side of the alley. Destroy one of
these to reveal a chest with a Wrath Shard.
11 //
Iron Canopy
In
the room with the transparent web floor -- a with a giant spider above
you and a Goremaw below you -- push the block into the Goremaw's grasp
and use it to lift you to the top of the room. Jump over to the chest
with the Wrath Shard inside.
12 //
Ashlands / Dry Road Access Tunnel
This
requires the Abyssal Chain. Warp to the Vulgrim location in the
Ashlands. Head southwest and drop into the Ashlands Access Tunnel area.
Enter the room with the Goremaws on the ceiling above a single stretch
of rope. You need to cross this area to the west side, so jump out onto
the rope and get eaten by a Goremaw. From the western ledge, look up
and to the right. You should be able to make out an Abyssal Chain
grapple point high above. It is orange. Grapple this and then float
into the secret tunnel above. You'll find a chest here with a Wrath
Shard inside.
13 //
Crossroads / Library
This
requires the Abyssal Chain. Warp to the Crossroads using Vulgrim and
enter the Library to the north. In the main room, look for an Abyssal
Chain grip point along the eastern wall. Use this to get to the second
level. Enter the door in the northeast corner and you'll come upon a
chest with a Shard inside.
14 //
Anvil's Ford
This
requires the Abyssal Chain. In the far, far west of Anvil's Ford
there's a chest under a waterfall. Use the Abyssal Chain to swing over
to it. Inside is your Shard.
15 //
Black Throne
After
defeating the first Guardian and accessing the second floor of the
Black Throne via the elevator, you'll come to a room without a floor. A
pathway forms beneath your feet allowing you to reach the northern
side. Once safely on the northern platform look for a distant window
portal to the west. Charge a shot and shoot it and then use the nearby
portal to reach the Chest with a Wrath Shard inside.
16 //
Eden
Head
up the stairs towards the Tree of Knowledge. Stop on the landing
halfway up and jump off the edge to the left. You can see a bit of map
here. Head north on the ground and you'll find a chest with a Wrath
Shard inside
17 //
Serpent Hole
Take
the Serpent Hole path from the Ashlands to the Dry Road. Turn around
upon entering the Serpent Hole and look for a nearby chest with a Wrath
Shard inside.
18 //
Serpent Hole
You
need the Abyssal Chain for this one. In the Serpent Hole between the
Dry Road and Anvil's Ford, look for some chain hook points floating in
the ether. If you pause the game and examine the map screen, you can
see a floating island to the north (scroll up). Use the Abyssal Chain
to grapple over to the chest for a Wrath Shard.
You'll need the Voidwalker for this one.
First, head out the western exit of the Scalding Gallow. In the Drowned
Pass Access tunnel, look for a portal window above the chest marked on
your map. You can charge a shot, double-jump and shoot this portal, but
it's a bit tricky.
Now, head into the room with the giant fan
blades. Float off the blades to the southeast and activate the Abyssal
Chain while you fall to snag the hook. Take the geyser up and shoot the
window portal on the ceiling to make a path to the chest.
Use the Geyser to blast up through the ceiling portal to the chest on the other side to score a Wrath Shard.
20 //
Anvil's Ford / Drowned Pass Access Tunnel
You need the Tremor Gauntlet for this one. Warp to Anvil's Ford and
examine your map. At the far north end of the Drowned Pass Access
Tunnel is a chest with this Wrath Shard inside. To get here you'll need
to smash some blue crystals with your Tremor Gauntlet.
