Gourd Seed is a special Upgrade Material in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Gourd Seeds are required to upgrade the capacity of Sekiro's Healing Gourd, with each gourd seed acquired providing an additional charge, up to a maximum of ten. They can be found on the ground, in chests, or purchasable in shops in certain areas of the game.
Gourd Seed Usage
- Bring this material to Emma located at the Dilapidated Temple (or Upper Tower - Kuro's Room depending on how far you've progressed the story) to upgrade your Healing Gourd.
- Emma will change her location depending on the point of the story that you are at.
- Emma will not upgrade your Gourd at specific points in the story.
- If you have collected a Gourd Seed, in NG+, you will obtain different items where the Gourd Seeds were.
Gourd Seed Locations
There are a total of 9 Gourd Seeds to collect. You must collect all 9 and give them to Emma to unlock the associated Trophy.
- Ashina Outskirts - Drop from General Naomori Kawarada, immediately past the "Outskirts Wall - Gate Path" Sculptor's Idol
- Ashina Outskirts - In the building right after the Chained Ogre, just past the "Outskirts Wall - Stairway" Sculptor's Idol
- Ashina Outskirts - Bought from the Battlefield Memorial Mob Vendor for 1,000 Sen, located up the steps and to the right from where you fight Gyoubu Oniwa.
- Ashina Castle - Just before the "Upper Tower - Antechamber" Sculptor's Idol in a chest. (Hard to miss)
- Dilapidated Temple - One can be bought from Fujioka the Info Broker for 2,000 Sen, once he arrives.
- Senpou Temple, Mt. Kongo - In front of the first immortal monk you encounter in the Senpou Temple, in the first building that's filled with crickets.
- Sunken Valley - From the "Under-shrine Valley" Idol, progress forward until you get to the the fourth rifleman on the path. If you drop down to the poison lizard and the part where you hug the wall, you've gone too far. There is a climbable wall near where the rifleman was. Climb up the wall where you'll find two more riflemen, one of which you have to grapple up to. After defeating that rifleman, there is a wall on the left that you can climb. You'll find the gourd seed near a small hut up there.
- Ashina Depths - In the center of Mibu Village, by the orange glowing tree. It is guarded by multiple enemies.
- Fountainhead Palace - In a chest in the last room of the palace by the "Palace Grounds" Sculptor's Idol. (Hard to miss)
Gourd Seed Notes & Tips
- Gourd Seeds can only be collected once per save file. Collected Gourd Seeds are replaced with other items on consecutive NG+ cycles.
- There are 9 Gourd Seeds in a single game, making a total of 10 uses of the Healing Gourd.
- If a Gourd Seed becomes inaccessible for any reason, it will appear in the offering box at the Dilapidated Temple.

On my second new game playthru I knew I was missing one. I went thru the list. I missed the only one labeled as “hard to miss”. Kick me while I’m down wiki!

I gave Emma all of the gourd seeds but I didn't get the ultimate healing gourd achievement. I have 10 uses of the gourd and when I talk to Emma the game says the Gourd can't be upgraded any further. Any help?

wow these comments are so stupid. It's surprising how many people can't do simple maths. You start with 1 gourd use, and get 9 more later.

There are ten seeds. I have 9 before getting the stone incense ingredients.
Well ... Actually it's 10! I do not know where I got the tenth ... But it's 10 and not 9. My Save to proof.

there are 2 in sunken valley, just after the one mentioned above, near a lake in the snowy region by an igloo type thing with a rifleman enemy nearby

I totally ran right past the fourth one. After barely escaping the Nightjars on the roof I was so relieved to see the Idol that nothing else registered, felt foolish later.

I might have missed one but I swear my game glitched. I have 7 estus flasks right now (I prefer estus haha) but at one point I had 2 in my inventory and when I talked to Emma to upgrade my gourd it let me use one and then magically I didn't have another in my inventory. Either she did a double upgrade or upgrading your gourd removes the stack of seeds from your inventory for only 1 upgrade. Just a warning incase it's bugged occasionally.

I have 9 drinks in my healing gourd, but I haven't been to Fountainhead Palace, does this mean I could have 10 drinks in my healing gourd in a single playthrough?

After I battled Genichiro, Emma moved there and now she won't take my gourd seeds. Just her dialogue and end. Any fix please?

My save is bugged and I'm locked out from getting the max gourd achievement on my main save. Oh well.
