Elden Ring: Both Mt. Gelmir Golden Seed Locations

Mt. Gelmir holds two Golden Seeds, both sitting beneath glowing Erdtree saplings that stand out against the region’s volcanic terrain. One grows along the river path in the lower reaches, and the other waits just outside the entrance to Volcano Manor near the summit. Each seed adds a charge to your Flask of Crimson Tears or Flask of Cerulean Tears once you spend it at a Site of Grace.

Quick answer: Grab the first Golden Seed by following the river north from the Seethewater River Site of Grace, then take the second from the golden sapling on the hill directly outside Volcano Manor’s main door.

Both Mt. Gelmir Golden Seed locations

The two saplings sit at opposite ends of the climb. Here is where each one is and the Site of Grace you should travel to first.

Golden Seed	Nearest Site of Grace	Where it grows
Seethewater River	Seethewater River	Beside the river path north of the grace, near a small tree
Volcano Manor	Volcano Manor	On the hill just outside the manor’s main entrance

Seethewater River Golden Seed

This seed sits along the river that runs through the lower part of Mt. Gelmir, west of the Wyndham Ruins. Watch for the hot geyser traps that erupt from the ground along the way, since they can stagger you and Torrent if you ride straight through them.

From the Erdtree-Gazing Hill Site of Grace on the western edge of the Altus Plateau, head west through the Wyndham Ruins. A river path opens up behind the ruins and runs north.

Follow that river until you reach the Seethewater River Site of Grace, which places you at the foot of the Mt. Gelmir section.

Continue upstream from the grace, keeping to the river. The golden sapling is visible next to a small tree along the path, and the Golden Seed rests at its base.

Volcano Manor Golden Seed

The second seed is tied to Volcano Manor at the top of the mountain, sitting just outside the building rather than within it. It grows to the northwest of the entrance, on the slope above the main door.

Reach Volcano Manor by following the river path all the way to the summit, or fast travel to the Volcano Manor Site of Grace once you have found it. The manor sits at the peak of Mt. Gelmir.

Step out through the manor’s main door and look up the hill. A small golden sapling glows on the slope, with the Golden Seed waiting right beneath it.

How to use Golden Seeds and confirm the upgrade

Golden Seeds only take effect when you spend them. Rest at any Site of Grace, choose the option to add a charge, and pick either the Flask of Crimson Tears or the Flask of Cerulean Tears. Each additional charge costs one more Golden Seed than the last, so later upgrades require several at once.

You know the upgrade worked when your flask charge count rises by one in the rest menu, and the extra charge is available the next time you draw from your flasks. Collecting both Mt. Gelmir seeds pushes you closer to the flask cap while you clear the region’s bosses and dungeons.

Note: Golden Seeds raise how many times you can drink between rests, while Sacred Tears increase how much each drink restores. The two upgrades stack, so grab both types as you explore the Lands Between.
