All Gourd Types in Sekiro Shadows Die Twice
In Sekiro Shadows Die Twice, the Gourd is your main source of healing power. While you may think there is only a single Gourd in the game, you are actually incorrect there are a total of four Gourd types with different healing properties. Below I will highlight all Gourd Types in Sekiro Shadows Die Twice.
Healing Gourd
The Healing Gourd is given to you by Emma at the beginning of the game. This item is used to replenish your Vitality. The Healing Gourd has the following description.
“A gourd filled with Vitality-restoring medicine. Resting refills the Gourd. Made by an apprentice of the extraordinary doctor, Dogen. Though it is strange that the gourd’s medicinal waters refill automatically, the seeds within may hold the secret to how it works.”
This item can be upgraded a total of 10 times using Gourd Seeds. There are also two Latent Skills you can unlock which give you better healing per Healing Gourd swig.
Withered Red Gourd
You can purchase the Withered Red Gourd from the Pot Noble merchant Harunga for 2 Treasure Carp Scales. This gourd will both decrease Burn buildup and provide better Burn protection when drunk. It has 5 uses. The Withered Red Gourd has the following description.
“A curved, withered red gourd filled with medicinal water. The gourd’s medicine refills upon rest. Reduces Burn buildup, and slightly increases Burn resistance. It cannot heal the Burn status abnormality, however.”
Green Mossy Gourd
The Green Mossy Gourd can be purchased from the Toxic Memorial Mob merchant in the Sunken Valley for 1800 sen. Using this gourd will decrease Poison buildup and increase Poison resistance. It has 5 uses. The item has the following description.
“A curved, moss-covered gourd filled with medicinal water. Refills upon rest. While it does not heal “Poison” status, it reduces Poison buildup, and increases Poison resistance. This gourd was made out of necessity by those that made poisonous lands their home. It’s said if you live there long enough eventually poison won’t affect you at all.”
Mottled Purple Gourd
You can purchase the Mottled Purple Gourd from the Exiled Memorial Mob merchant in the Ashina Depths for 1800 sen. Using this gourd will decrease the Terror status buildup and increase Terror resistance. This gourd has 5 uses. Here’s the Mottled Purple Gourd item description.
“A curved, mottled purple gourd filled with medicinal water. Refills upon rest. Reduces “Terror” status buildup, and increases Terror resistance. This gourd’s twisted form was formed with use in graveyards, corpse-strewn battlefields, and other forlorn places of death. It follows then that drinking its waters can help prevent onset of Terror.”
That’s all the different Gourd types you can unlock in Sekiro Shadows Die Twice. Any of the Gourds listed must haves? Let me know in the comments what you are running with.
There is a white one too that drops rice
That’s not actually a gourd, but it does have 5 charges and refills upon rest
Except that the description for the five-color rice says, “A gourd with five-colored rice…” and also, “The white gourd is blessed with fertility…”
