Elden Ring Golden Seed Locations Map

Golden Seeds are essential items in Elden Ring which increase the amount of vitality your Sacred Flask heals per sip. So in an unforgiving ordeal like Elden Ring, where every point of HP matters, these shining beacons dotted throughout the landscape are one of the main things you should prioritize as you explore.

According to the in-game item description, Golden Seeds were dispersed by the Erdtree itself when the Elden Ring was shattered, symbolizing the end of this Erdtree’s era and literally planting the seeds of the next by empowering the Tarnished seeking to reunite the Elden Ring and claim the title of Elden Lord.

You can gather Golden Seeds at the base of ethereal Golden Trees, by defeating Tree Spirits and by completing quests doled out by NPCs. However, most of the Golden Seeds you find are claimed from the open-world map and will be accessible almost as soon as you gain entry to a specific area; but others will require more effort.

While they’re rare to find throughout your adventure, there are still a grand total of 42 Golden Seed locations to track down across the Lands Between.

On top of the flask upgrades you can find after your adventure begins, you can also grab an extra Golden Seed as the best Keepsake during character creation. This is highly recommended for a casual playthrough, but is less important for veteran players. Plus, there are plenty of others which are more than capable of getting you through the game on their own.

Below is an interactive map detailing every single open-world location you can find a Golden Seed throughout Elden Ring, as well as a checklist for each area:
