Yellow Gunpowder Notes & Tips

  • Players can only carry a maximum of 99 material
  • The Yellow Gunpowder is most likely an explosive based on picric acid or "carbo-azotic acid". Picric acid-based gunpowder was once referred to in Japan as "yellow gunpowder" (黄色火薬) due to its distinctive color and was studied experimentally in the late 19th century by both European and Japanese engineers including Joseph Brugère (known for "Poudre Brugère", tested for use in the 1866 Chassepot rifle) and Shimose Masachika (who brought the technology to its peak). However, it was ultimately rejected due to the fact that when picric acid comes into contact with iron, it becomes iron picrate, an extremely unstable substance far too dangerous to use as gunpowder.

      A tool is missing from the list that needs this material. The Long Spark Firecracker needs 2 Yellow Gunpowder.

      This brings the total number needed to get all the Prosthetics up to 29 unless I've counted wrong. Weirdly, this is less than the 32 Adamantite Scraps needed. You'd think it'd be the other way around cosidering that Adamantite is found much later in the game than the Yellow powder.

      • Got some from Shotgun dudes at Gun Fort Idol. Demon Bell on, Most Virtuous Deeds (lvl2), Genchiro dead, Guardian Ape dead. Bloodsmoke Ninjitsu equipped > Gun Fort Idol > walk up and backstab deathblow the guy > Bloodsmoke > backstab the other shotgunner > walk out > backstab the 3rd shogunner > run back and reset.
