In this Sekiro Shadows Die Twice Gourd Seed Locations Guide, we will show you where you can find each and every Gourd Seed in the game. Gourd Seed are items that help in upgrading your healing Gourd, which in return gives you more healing charges.

When you collect Gourd Seeds, you can upgrade the healing Gourd completely to give you a lot of health in fighting an enemy. Fully upgrading the Gourd will unlock the “Ultimate Healing Gourd” trophy/achievement.

When you acquire a Gourd Seed, you can take it back to Emma at the Dilapidated Temple. It is here that she will upgrade the Healing Gourd for you. During the gameplay, Emma will disappear from the Dilapidated Temple when you first reach Ashina Castle. She can then be found in Kuro’s Room.

However, to unlock here in this area, you have to beat the main boss at the top of the tower in Ashina Castle, and then talk to the Divine Heir five times in a row. Then you have to follow the smoke signals across the tower roofs to find Isshin. Talking to Isshin unlocks Emma in Kuro’s Room.
