Missable
It’s a tale: it can fail when you climb the stairs behind the Green Serpent House. Several petals are dropped by Mandate masters who only appear with the Shattered Hero’s Courage (the purple-robed leader “Wolf” gives it to you at Myst’s Tavern); Maxroll warns they’re lost if you don’t take them out in time, and GameSpot hit a bug that stopped them from collecting it.
Why doesn’t a Mandate master’s petal appear?
According to player reports on the Steam forum (not official information):
- If the master gets up and transforms before you kill him, he doesn’t drop the petal. You have to beat him quickly while he is kneeling.
- The one in Pangzhen opposite the Pond of Fading Song sometimes transforms almost as soon as he kneels, and petal no. 6 (“The Golden Days”) sometimes doesn’t appear.
- Some petals disappear if you don’t pick them up right away, and the map markers can vanish once you gather the four the tale asks for.
The tale is completed with 4 of 6, but the +10% health needs all 6. Save manually before each group and pick up the petal as soon as it drops. One player says they got the sixth one in New Game Plus and the flower was completed, because the petals you already collected are kept.
