In "Sekiro: Shadows The Twice" you have the pumpkin bottle as a healing item. A sip of it, and your Shinobi is already doing better. So that the bottle is not empty so quickly, you can enlarge it – by collecting pumpkin seeds! Here you read, where you get it.

At the beginning of "Sekiro" you can take only one healing sip from the pumpkin bottle – not much for such a demanding game. If you collect the nine pumpkin seeds in total, you will get one sip each, so you can heal yourself a total of ten times. Useful: Each time you rattle on a figure of the sculptor, your pumpkin bottle is refilled.

How to improve the pumpkin bottle

After you woke up at the beginning with the sculptor, talk to the doctor Emma. She offers to reinforce your pumpkin bottle if you bring her pumpkin seeds for it. Each time you find a seed, you should visit it as soon as possible.

Locations of pumpkin seeds

Sometimes you get the pumpkin seeds after boss fights, some you find in certain places in the game world, sometimes you can also buy them from retailers.

1. Pumpkin seeds: Drop from mini boss

The first seed you get after the fight against General Naomori Karawada in the Ashina area as a drop. You will find the mini boss just behind the second figure of the sculptor.

• Closest figure of the sculptor: "Surroundings Wall – Path to the Gate"

2. Pumpkin Seed: Behind the Ogre

When you defeat the Chained Ogre – another miniboss in the Ashina area – swing up the ruined wall where the fiend was chained. Walk left through the corridor and you will find the next pumpkin seed.

5. Pumpkin Seed: From Information Trader

Fujioka the Information Trader sells you the fifth pumpkin seed for 2000 Sen. But first you have to find it in the Ashina Castle: walk up the long stairs from the figure of the sculptor "Ashina Burg". Ignore the opponents at the top or fight them, then walk to the right and right again behind the rock. Now you can already see Fujioka sitting cross-legged on the floor one level below you. Talk to him and you'll get the job to defeat a few enemies for him. Then he opens his shop near the Maroden temple.
