Elden Ring Golden Seeds and Sacred Tears are among the most important items in the game. These are how you’ll upgrade your Flasks of Crimson and Cerulean Tears, and as you’d expect from such useful items, you won’t find them growing on trees--sort of. Golden Seeds technically grow on saplings, though they’re often in out-of-the-way places or near challenges of some other kind. Sacred Tears are less random and are found in churches, though actually reaching some of these abandoned holy places is often more difficult than searching high and low for Seeds.
Golden Seeds are almost always found on small glowing Erdtree saplings, and these are scattered across The Lands Between. Most regions have at least two or three. You’ll need one Golden Seed to add a new charge to your Flasks for the first five upgrades or so. After that, enhancing the Flasks takes at least two Golden Seeds.
These are the Golden Seeds we’ve found so far, and we’ll update as we find more.
Sacred Tears are much rarer and increase how much HP or FP your Flasks restore with each use. They’re exceptionally useful as you increase your Vigour and Mind stats, and you can get several early in the game. Sacred Tears are found in churches, though not every church has one.
There are fewer Sacred Tears than Golden Seeds. These are the ones we’ve found so far.
