Wildwood Leshy hunt
Tidesong Cavern, Snezhnaya. Use a cavern waypoint if unlocked, or approach from Sretomorozsk by way of the waypoint beside the railway.
Dropped by Lv. 40+ Wildwood Leshies
Wildwood Leshies are a source of Sprout Node of Life and Coiled Core of Life, along with other enemy drops. The Tidesong Cavern hunt is a concrete starting route; expand to other marked Snezhnaya Leshy areas if needed.

How to farm
Before you go
- Reach Snezhnaya and unlock a route to Tidesong Cavern or the nearby Sretomorozsk railway waypoint.
- Target Lv. 40+ Leshies for Sprout Node of Life and Lv. 60+ for Coiled Core of Life.
- Bring a party prepared for repeated enemy encounters.
- Travel to the Tidesong Cavern waypoint if it is active.
- If not, teleport to the railway waypoint near Sretomorozsk and head toward the cave entrance.
- Enter the cavern area and clear the Wildwood Leshies along the marked route.
- Check enemy levels as you choose which groups to prioritize for the desired material tier.
- Collect the drops and review the character or weapon upgrade requirement.
- If the cavern group is exhausted, use the regional map’s other marked Leshy zones to continue the hunt.
- Use the collected items in the relevant upgrade menu.
Farming tips
- The Adventurer Handbook can help locate discovered Leshy targets but should not replace the mapped route.
- Enemy level controls the eligible material tier; it does not promise a specific drop on every defeat.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat after the game’s normal enemy reset. The available route facts establish locations, not an additional respawn timer.
Common mistakes
- Expecting a fixed yield from the cavern: track actual inventory after the hunt.
- Targeting low-level Leshies for the higher tier: prioritize Lv. 60+ enemies for Coiled Core.
- Assuming the Handbook lists every location: use it as a supplement to regional map markers.
When to stop or switch
Stop when the needed tier is enough for the planned upgrade or when the Tidesong Cavern group is cleared and distant routes are not worthwhile.
