Rice | Sekiro Shadows Die Twice Wiki

Is it gluten free?

Ok I have figured how it is possible to keep whatever rice you have accumulated over NG+ cycles, but still advance the “Return” ending.

The key point is that you need to have no rice/fine snow in your INVENTORY, the game does not care about rice you have in storage for getting more rice from the divine child (which is needed to advance the quest line to get the Return ending).

Say you have 3/3 rice in your inventory + 1 fine snow, and 100 rice in storage. You want to get the return ending, but keep as much rice as possible (e.g. for your gauntlet runs)

1) Go to a location that is far enough away from divine child that she is not loaded by the game. Eat all 3 rice (and fine snow) in your inventory.

2) DO NOT REST AS THAT WILL FILL YOUR RICE BACK UP OBVIOUSLY

3) By foot, run all the way to the divine child, she will give you another rice.

4) You now need to unload her WITHOUT RESTING. You can do this by running by foot alllllllll the way back to the dilapidated temple via bell demon (I’m actually not sure how far you need to run to unload her, but i always did this loop).

5) Eat the rice here at dilapidated temple.

6) Go through the shinobi door to ashina -> run back to senpou via the abandoned dungeon. You will notice that mobs you’ve killed on the way will have respawned even though you haven’t rested - this is a good sign, it means you’ve reset the areas without resting.

7) Once back at divine child, she should be asleep (if she is not asleep and gives another rice, do another loop as above, eating the rice at dilapadated)

8) After doing this loop 1 or 2 times, she’ll ask for the permission and give you the rice for Kuro - from here you can rest and travel like normal, and do the rest of the quest, and you will have preserved your 100 rice that you had in storage!

If I'm doing Shura ending and keep going back to request rice from her between attempts at Isshin, will she stop giving it to me after a certain point? She gave me the Rice for Kuro and I now have no way to give it to him

They blame the players for spamming "hesitation is defeat".
While fromsoftware spams "rice is precious" in literally every item description

Submit

There's literally zero evidence to suggest this isn't rice.

mmmhhmmyesss tasty rice

Sekiro's Elizabeth mushrooms

its 100% centipede eggs

Submit

I do not think the rice is centipede eggs. The Red-Eyes and Infested are imperfect forms of immortality. The Divine Child, on the other hand, is the closest thing possible to a false Kuro.

Rice was actually precious back then, because the Japanese used it to pay taxes and trade for other goods. When the Spainards and Portugese arrived they only accepted gold for trade.

I’m pretty sure that the rice is centipede eggs in this game. think about it, it would be a start to an explanation of where the centipedes came from and how the divine child can only give so much rice then instantly have more replenished in a short amount of time. She never specifically says that the “harvest” was of crops. It would make sense why they are a great healing item in the game. Kuro even says to “chew the rice thoroughly”. Maybe Sekiro doesn’t have a centipede in him because he’s the oathbound of the dragon’s heritage?

I managed to get two Rice at once. If you go to TDCoR for your third gift of Rice, rest, and go back to her and trigger the dialogue for her sleeping, then rest again and trigger her Persimmon request, when she eats it, she will give you more Rice along with Rice for Kuro. Handy for the crappy Glock Saint fight ahead. I'm gonna try to see if I can score some Fine Snow to go along with it.

So what should we do if we dont hv anymore persimmons

Submit

My fav food

Submit

It's Pellets on steroid. Super handy when fighting boss.

Submit

Nah guys, I solved it, it's not centipede eggs. "Ashina persimmons are particularly nutritious, perhaps because the trees grow in such pure water. Persimmons become blood, blood becomes rice. This may be of help to one short of blood." So she was weak because she was short on blood.

It netted me my first try Guardian Ape kill on my very first Playthrough. It was harsh, Ungos Sugar, Pellets and Gourd were completely depleted, my health at 20% when that ... thing just stood up after beeing decapitaded. My feeling of Accomplishment turned to pure Horror. My heart raced. I needed to get distance, my brain told me to just die already and fight him anew. I pause the game. Take a deep breath. Hastely look through my inventory, skills, prosthetics, non could be helpful, I thought at the time, and than, than I found it, my heart nearly jumped, there it was, plain, simple ... Rice, 2 prestine Stacks. I knew I could make, I sinceraly thanked the Devine child for this Gift. In the end, I stood atop a rotting pile of rotting Ape meat, barely standing, a gale wauld bring me to my knees, just... starring. No sense of achievement, no glorious cheers, I felt no joy nor saddnes at that point. I just tried to piece together what happened. Nirvana. I sat in my chair and just blankly stared at Sekiro on the screen. The Devine Child now has a VERY special place in my memory. I think you can not come any closer to an enlightened moment in a Video game. Thank you FROMSOFT

Updated the page so it includes actually useful info about the the potency and duration of the heal. I found out that you could use it when suffering from the debuff that disables healing items on accident earlier today so I added that to notes as well.

Its not rice,its centipede eggs.

Very OP heal that you can restock at the inner sanctum like a pellet on steroid

I highly suspect this 'rice' is actually the divine child's blood. If you look at dragon blood's droplet, it's opaque and transparent similar to rice. The shape isn't that much different either. While not exactly the same, the divine child and divine heir (kuro) shares connection in their dragon heritage. Both kuro and the divine child have immortal body, and thus like the dragon, their blood solidifies. How did they procure it, do you ask? Personal theory: menstruation.

Kuro also gives you rice when you collect all the Aroma ingredients

Submit

I some how doubt this is actually rice, since there are no rice fields or stores anywhere. Kuro laughs at Sekiro for eating rice raw, even though two other NPCs and the flavour text of the rice say that it is perfectly fine to eat it as it is. The divine child of rejuvenation states clearly that sekiro should chew properly before swallowing. Kuro also mentions that each rice grain glistens. Many of the immortal and "enlightened" monks have a centipede coming out of their rear, and it is hinted that the divine child is a product of horrible experiments that cost the lives of many of her(his?) brethren. The facts are lining up together...

How long before you can request more rice from the Blessed Child? Do certain things trigger it?
