Learn how to acquire the Healing Gourd, a vital healing item in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. This guide details its location and initial acquisition during the game's prologue.

The Healing Gourd is a crucial item in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, functioning similarly to the Estus Flask in the Souls series, providing limited healing. It is obtained early in the game from Kuro, the Divine Heir, after you pledge your service to him.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin the game and progress through the initial tutorial area.
  2. 2
    After a cutscene where Kuro expresses gratitude, he will give you your Katana, Kusabimaru.
  3. 3
    Kuro will then provide you with the Healing Gourd, explaining its function for limited healing.
  4. 4
    He will also task you with helping him escape Ashina Castle, mentioning a secret passage beneath the moat's bridge.
Tips
  • The Healing Gourd can be refilled at Sculptor's Idols.
  • Additional uses of the Healing Gourd can be acquired by finding Prayer Beads scattered throughout the world.
  • Before leaving the initial area, consider collecting a Pellet from upstairs, which slowly restores Vitality over time.
