Forge a fire-based weapon and craft the Long Reed, Veteran, and All-Black armor sets
In Wild Hearts, your weapons and armor keep you alive as you take on the next giant Kemono the video game uses. Upgrading your weapons and crafting brand-new armor needs parts from the giant Kemono you hunt together with products from each area you check out — things like ores or parts from little Kemono.
You’ll require products like Lizard Blooms, Silken Thread, and Simian Yin Organ Gems as you upgrade your weapons and armor to continue into chapter 2. Our Wild Hearts Lizard Bloom, Silken Thread, and Simian Yin Organ Gems guide will inform you how and where to discover them.
Why you’ll require Lizard Blooms, Silken Thread, and Simian Yin Organ Gems in Wild Hearts
You’ll open the Wrack Blade: Rhododendron weapon upgrade course as soon as you beat your very first Lavaback. The course includes some fire damage to your attacks, which is excellent versus icy challengers like the Deathstalker. The upgrade to the Wrack Black: Rhododendron 2 (that includes the stamina-increasing Grab Master ability) needs 3 Simian Yin Organ Gems.
A bit after that, the next couple of armors you open need Simian Yin Organ Gems, Silken Thread, and Lizard Blooms in differing quantities. These armors consist of the Long Reed set, Veteran set (perhaps the most flexible early-game armor), and the All-Black set.
Where to discover Silken Thread and Simian Yin Organ Gems in Wild Hearts
The crafting and upgrade products differ by area. Some crafting products, like Mirrorstone and Lightstone, can be gathered simply by checking out the brand-new areas you open. Other products, like Crustaceous Moss or Pointed Scales, originated from either killing or petting little Kemono — and the little Kemono you experience differ by area, too.

You’ll get Lizard Blooms from both Springwatch and Nightshade Monitors. You’ll discover Springwatch Monitors in Harugasumi Way, the very first location you check out. Nightshade Monitors appear in chapter 2, “Ancient Technology,” in Akikure Canyon. Both will drop Lizard Blooms each time you pet them and a few of the times you eliminate them.
However, both of these Monitors launch a cloud of toxin when you (attempt to) family pet them. If you attempt to family pet them without some sort of Poison Resistance ability, your effort will stop working. You can get the Antitoxin Skill by consuming Akebia Fruit discovered in Akikure Canyon or from the Fresh Fern Sone-consumed (boots) armor.
You’ll discover Silken Tread as a typical product to get as you check out Akikure Canyon in the very first half of chapter 2. They look slightly like light gray stacks of rock.
In the 2nd half of chapter 2, you’ll reach the snowy Fuyufusagi Fort and discover Gemcast Monkey little Kemono there. They’ll drop Simian Yin Organ Gems when you kill (murder) them, and Monkey Liquor when you pet them.
