Upgrading your Sacred Flasks is essential for surviving the formidable challenges throughout the Lands Between in Elden Ring. Players can increase total charges using Golden Seeds and improve healing potency with Sacred Tears. Tracking down these vital items early in your journey drastically improves your overall survival rate during intense boss battles.
Finding Early Golden Seeds in Limgrave
Limgrave features several accessible Golden Seeds that players can gather right at the start of their journey. You can find a seed under a glowing golden tree along the path from Stormgate to Stormhill Shack. Another seed lies near Fort Haight in East Limgrave, while defeating the Ulcerated Tree Spirit in Fringefolk Hero's Grave awards an additional one.
Locating Sacred Tears Across Churches
Sacred Tears are primarily located inside ruins of ruined churches scattered across major regions. In Limgrave, players can visit the Third Church of Marika to collect a tear from the central statue. Heading south to the Weeping Peninsula yields more tears at the Church of Pilgrimage, Fourth Church of Marika, and Callu Baptismal Church.
Exploring Liurnia and Altus Plateau for Upgrades
As you venture into Liurnia of the Lakes, look for Golden Trees in Academy Gate Town and near Raya Lucaria Academy. You can also grab Sacred Tears at the Church of Irith, Bellum Church, and the Church of Inhibition. Continuing upward to the Altus Plateau provides further opportunities, including seeds near Erdtree-Gazing Hill and tears at the Second Church of Marika.
Maximizing Flask Capacity in Late Game Regions
Reaching high-level areas like Mountaintops of the Giants allows Tarnished warriors to max out their flask potential. Golden Seeds spawn near the Forbidden Lands entrance and by frozen rivers near giant golems. Meanwhile, visiting the First Church of Marika and the Church of Repose secures the final Sacred Tears needed for ultimate healing power.
