In this guide we will show you where to find all 8 Shimmering Buds (Flask Upgrades) in Salt And Sacrifice.
To upgrade the healing flask you will need to find Shimmering Buds. There are a total of 8 found in the game (making a total of 13 max heals at max level). Here are the locations.
Ashbourne Village
Shimmering Bud #1
Can be found in the mines below the building to the right of the start (where the fire mage is found and will only be opened if you have been around the bottom side of the map and opened the shortcut), exit this building to the right and then drop down through the wooden platforms and then into the cave. Inside the cave go down and then right where you can find the bud at the end.
Shimmering Bud #2
From the Uryks Necklace Of Ears boss arena, grapple up to the right and enter the mines, here go right and enter the green door (will be red if you have not defeated at least 2 named mages), as soon as you enter this new area, open the chest on the right to find the bud.
Bol Gerahn
Shimmering Bud #3
From the Hate Cursed Matriarch boss arena, go right to find the bud on one of the top platform of the tree.
Shimmering Bud #4
From the start of the region, go right until you see a door, this door will take you to Creeping Caves (if the door is red you will need to defeat more Named Mages).
Once in the cave you will want to go in the gerenal direction to end of at the bottom left of the cave, for a more clear path check out the images below or use the video guide. Also watch out for the trip wire traps along the way!
Soon you will see a few wooden platforms above you to your left, jump up them to find the chest with the bud in it.
Corvius' Mire
Shimmering Bud #5
Starting from the Marega Gredanya boss arena, go right and use the stone circle with the Luminstone (you pick it up right here), then enter the door to the right.
Once inside activate the string on the floor to grapple to your right (if not you can drop down and go all the way around), then go up the ladder and across the breaking platforms (watch out for the spinning trap). Then continue up some more platforms and go left past another spinning trap. Now continue left (watch out for the trap activated by the trip wire) and activate the stone circle to spawn some platforms and grappling points. Use them to get to the other side where you can find the bud.
Dreadstone Peak
Shimmering Bud #6
From the start go left and use the wind streams and grapple points to get to the top where you can enter a cave to the right. Inside this cave you will want to keep going up while sticking to the right until you see a red item in a bag, this item will be your 6th bud.
Elder Copse
Shimmering Bud #7
From The Icon Of Pandemonium boss arena, exit right and use the grappling point, then use 2 pulleys to find the bud in a chest.
Shimmering Bud #8
From The Worm That Does Not Die boss arena, go left and jump up to the top path and exit the building through the left door. Here use 3 pulleys to find the final shimmering bud in the chest.
