WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Chapter 1: Forest of Wolves, Bamboo Grove, and Black Wind Cave, reached from their nearby Keeper’s Shrines.

Each meditation spot grants one Spark the first time you rest there. The three Chapter 1 Black Wind Mountain spots are The Arbor, The Cavern, and The Cliff. This is exploration for permanent progression, not a respawning farm. Collect each as the paths open, then use the journal to check for remaining meditation locations as you move into later regions.

How to farm

Before you go

  • Reach the relevant Chapter 1 subregion and activate its nearby Shrine.
  • Reach Back Hills in Bamboo Grove for The Cavern route.
  • Defeat Whiteclad Noble to access the path to The Cliff.
  1. From Outside the Forest Shrine, backtrack through the cave you used to reach it.
  2. Exit through the small gap and enter the ruined building ahead to find The Arbor cushion near the cliff.
  3. Travel to Back Hills Shrine in Bamboo Grove and descend the stairs.
  4. At the stone pillar and nearby enemy, take the left winding path into the dark cave to find The Cavern cushion.
  5. After defeating Whiteclad Noble, start from Marsh of White Mist Shrine and follow the path through the dark cave.
  6. At the fork beyond the cave, take the left branch toward the cliff edge and locate The Cliff cushion.
  7. Interact with each cushion once; check the journal for other meditation spots as chapters open.

Farming tips

  • The first rest at each cushion awards the Spark; returning to sit again does not repeat the reward.
  • The Cliff is gated by Whiteclad Noble, so collect it after the fight rather than searching for an inaccessible approach.

Repeat, collect and use

Each of these three rewards is one time. The broader search for meditation spots continues across chapters, but already claimed cushions do not grant additional Sparks.

Common mistakes

  • Expecting repeated rests to produce more Sparks; revisit only to confirm an unclaimed cushion.
  • Skipping The Cavern because the route begins below the Back Hills stairs; turn left at the stone pillar.
  • Searching for The Cliff before defeating Whiteclad Noble; the route opens after that encounter.

When to stop or switch

Stop revisiting a cushion after its first Spark. Continue the checklist in new regions or switch back to chapter progression once the three Chapter 1 rewards are claimed.
