Golden Seeds increase the no. of flask uses in Elden Ring and if you are looking to fully upgrade and max out the no. of flask uses – you need to get your hands on 30 Golden Seeds; as the no. of Golden Seeds required to move to the next upgrade increases at higher nos. Fortunately, the game is pretty generous in that you can get your hands on far higher no. of Golden Seeds than the 30 – there are, in fact 44 of these and we have listed out below all 44 Golden Seeds Locations In Elden Ring.
