In Ghost of Tsushima, players have to scour the landscape for resources and places of interest without the help of a traditional HUD. There is plenty of wildlife that players should keep an eye out for, including foxes, golden birds, and even plants. One of the most important of these resources are flowers that Jin can find growing all over the map.
Uses for Flowers
Flowers are used to purchase items and cosmetics in Ghost of Tsushima. If players are looking to change their armor with colors like the black or white dyes from merchants, they'll need to first get their hands on several flowers. And the only place to find these flowers is out and about in the wild.
Flowers grow in just about every corner of the three regions and 40 biomes in Ghost of Tsushima. So players should be constantly on the lookout to collect the most of these precious flowers.
How to Find Flowers
Flowers are scattered and hidden all over the world of Ghost of Tsushima, but thankfully there are some fool-proof ways to find them for players that are paying attention. While the flowers do glow and can be found with the naked eye, it's significantly easier to find them with the Traveler’s Attire.
The Traveler's Attire is a ratty-looking bit of armor that players can buy from any dye merchant very early in the game. It has some of the worst armor stats in the game, and isn't even good-looking, unlike the Gosaku armor set, so it might not look like a good buy for players early on. But its true value isn't in the stats; it's in the abilities the armor grants Jin.
The Traveler's Attire allows players to track the locations of records, Singing Crickets, and undiscovered Flowers across the map. Players can choose which of these three they want to track. Press right on the d-pad, select "undiscovered flowers," and get some hints where the closest flowers are. Then players can use Guiding Wind to point them in the right direction. Keep an eye out for the glow of unpicked flowers. Once the closest flower has been picked, Guiding Wind will guide the player to the next location without any prompting.
While looking for flowers, make sure to keep an eye out for Golden Birds, foxes and fox dens, and the other natural compasses that will lead Jin to other important points of interest.
Ghost of Tsushima is available for PlayStation 4.
