Golden Seed Locations

Golden Seeds are key to increasing the number of flask uses you have while progressing through your Elden Ring journey. They are an upgrade material that is primarily found next to golden branches of the Erdtree, and used after resting at a site of grace. However, there's a few extra ways to obtain them too.

As you create your character, you choose from a variety of keepsakes. A Golden Seed is amongst those options and is a safe pick for any player starting out. You also obtain them after specific enemy encounters throughout the lands between.

Below is where to find Golden Seeds in every location, and you need 30 seeds to obtain 14 total flasks which is the max number you can hold. There are more than 30 seeds to discover during a playthrough, so luckily you don't need to acquire every single one to reach the limit.
