Check Trash Cans Daily

Trash cans are scattered around the shops and buildings of Seikyu. Be sure to check them daily, as they often hold useful crafting and cooking materials. This could be coal, stone, or even rare items like meat.

There are no known negative consequences for garbage diving, and it is very useful in early game.

All Yokai Forms & How to Unlock Them in Tales of Seikyu

One of the first abilities players are introduced to when starting out in Tales of Seikyu is their Yokai forms. These transformations offer abilities that make getting around the world much less cumbersome. This includes the ability to run, fly, swim, and fight against enemies. Below is every form in the game, what they do, and how to unlock them.

How to Get Wood

While using an axe or hatchet is the typical way of getting wood in most farming sims, in Tales of Seikyu, players will need to attack trees in the boar form to get wood for crafting.

Walk up to trees and smash them in your boar form, and then crush the tree trunks to get the logs needed for crafting.

How to Get The Fishing Rod in Tales of Seikyu

To get the fishing rod in Tales of Seikyu, players will need to speak to Yui on the quest “Town Request Board”. This activates on the second morning after starting the game.

She will explain that you can take quests from the request board to help people in town. Accept the quest “Teach a Yokai to Fish” and then go talk to Torleone on the docks. After speaking with Torleone, he will give you a beginner Fishing Rod and teach the player how to catch fish.

NOTE: In the current early access build, fishing seems to be a bit unstable and difficult to manage. It is also costly on stamina.

How to Get The Crafting Table in Tales of Seikyu

To obtain the Crafting Table in Tales of Seikyu, players must obtain a piece of wood. This will unlock the recipe in the crafting submenu in the main menu of the game.

To craft the table, open the menu, navigate to “craft”, and select the Crafting Table. Players need eight pieces of wood to craft it.

This table unlocks the recipes for the Watering Can, Charcoal Kiln, Smelting Furnace, and Wooden Planks.

How to Craft The Charcoal Kiln in Tales of Seikyu

To get the Charcoal Kiln in Tales of Seikyu, players will need to unlock the crafting table, place it, and craft the Charcoal Kiln.

This recipe requires 10 pieces of Stone and three pieces of Clay. Clay is obtained by breaking rocks or raiding trash cans. Stone is obtained by breaking rocks.

How to Get a Stove and Cook Food in Tales of Seikyu

After completing the farming tutorial, and placing the Charcoal Kiln, Kon will decide it is time to build a stove and get cooking. To do this, gather four stones and four planks. After gathering these items, use the crafting table to craft a stove. Place the stove and then speak to Kon for directions on what to cook first.

Cooking can be a trial-and-error process. You can put up to four ingredients on the stove at any time. Depending on what is added and in what quantities, a certain type of cooked dish will result. It is very similar to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

How to Farm in Tales of Seikyu

To start farming in Tales of Seikyu, you’ll need a few tools. To get started, speak with Musashi to begin the quest “Farming the Wild Way”. Players will need to pay attention to when Musashi is on the farm. He may be in his cat form. It’s easy to miss him entirely. Once you’ve started the quest, you will get a free Watering Can and some seeds.

Go through the quest to learn how to farm. Unlike in other farming sims, where you will need a hoe or a scythe, in Tales of Seikyu, you will use your boar form to till the land.

After the land is tilled, players can use the watering can to soak the earth, and then they can plant seeds. These seeds need to be watered daily to grow into crops. At the beginning of the game, only the dug-out area in front of the house can be cultivated.
