Collect Sacred Tears to strengthen Flask healing
Sacred Tears improve the amount restored by Flask uses, complementing Golden Seeds’ increase to total charges.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Collect Sacred Tears to strengthen Flask healing
Churches of Marika and other churches across the Lands Between; look for the item at the statue within the church ruins.
Before you go
- Reach a church location you have not looted.
- Be able to travel safely through the surrounding region.
- Rest at a Site of Grace after pickup to apply the potency increase.
Farming steps
- Follow the region’s main roads and note church ruins visible along the route.
- Enter an unlooted church and approach the statue inside.
- Collect the Sacred Tear placed at the statue.
- Travel to a Site of Grace and rest.
- Choose the Flask potency option and apply the Tear if the menu allows it.
- Continue to the next unlooted church when later exploration takes you through the region.
- Check churches as you pass through a new area; the pickups are fixed and easy to collect during normal travel.
- Golden Seeds serve a separate purpose by adding Flask charges, so pursue both upgrade types for a fuller flask setup.
Repeat, collect and use
Each church Tear is a one-time pickup. Continue to other churches for more; there is no respawn or repeat enemy route.
Common mistakes
- Leaving the item at the church: interact at the statue and collect it before moving on.
- Expecting extra charges: use the Tear for Flask potency at a grace; Golden Seeds increase capacity.
- Searching an already looted church for another Tear: move to a different uncollected church.
When to stop or switch
Stop when you have applied the available Tear or reached the current potency cap; switch to Golden Seed collection if you need more Flask uses.
