Medicines are upgraded with the healer at the Green Serpent House, in western Pangzhen (Fextralife calls him Xie Xiaorong; Vandal, a Spanish guide, calls him Xie Qiudong). Each upgrade spends a healer’s memory and Remnant Dust, raises the effect and the uses, and can’t be undone. After talking to him, you can upgrade from any bell.
Step by step
- Reach the Green Serpent House (western Pangzhen) and defeat Xie Qiudong first.
- Talk to the healer: medicine upgrades unlock at every bell.
- Use the right memory: Apprentice Healer’s Memory for the first levels, Skilled Healer’s Memory for the middle ones and Master Healer’s Memory for the last ones.
- Choose wisely: the upgrade is irreversible, so spend the memories on the 2 or 3 medicines you use the most.
Materials
| Material | For which levels |
|---|---|
| Apprentice Healer’s Memory | First levels |
| Skilled Healer’s Memory | Middle levels |
| Master Healer’s Memory | High levels |
Fextralife says apprentice up to level 2 and skilled up to level 4; other guides split the levels differently. What is certain is the order: apprentice, skilled and master. No source publishes the exact dust cost.
