When you start pushing deep into Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, Frostbite will be a dangerous trap set for you in frozen areas, usually around Cloudspire or snow-covered mountain paths. It halves your stamina, triggers flinching, and makes boss fights tough if you get affected by it. The item that cures Frostbite in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is the Sapphire Lotus Seed, a cold-fighting consumable. Here’s everything you need to know about Sapphire Lotus Seed to get and use it.
What is a Sapphire Lotus Seed?
The Sapphire Lotus Seed is the only direct cure for Frostbite. Once the blue ring fills and the status triggers, it’s nearly impossible to dodge, recover, or counterattack. Using the seed does two crucial things:
- Instantly alleviates Frostbite buildup from your character
- Removes the effect of cold damage before it fully triggers
Unlike burns or poison, Frostbite doesn’t drain you slowly; it slaps your stamina pool and disrupts every move you try to make for the next 30 seconds. According to the in-game description, the Sapphire Lotus Seed is popular among the people of Cloudspire because of the intense cold. Soldiers eventually adopted it too, and it’s easy to see why.
Where to Find Sapphire Lotus Seeds
You’ll encounter Sapphire Lotus Seeds throughout Cloudspire areas, the high-altitude region filled with snow, wind, and slow-burning death zones. These seeds are:
- Common loot near frozen corpses, temple ruins, or inside frost-covered caves
- Often sold by Wu Gang or similar vendors in Cloudspire
- Stored automatically in your global inventory (you can set 5 in quick-use, the rest auto-refill at Shrines)
How to Use Sapphire Lotus Seed
Frostbite is deadly during:
- Boss fights involving ice-based attacks or Cryo-type weapons
- Long travel sequences through Snowpeak Pass, Frozen Shrine Caverns, or Cloudford
- Encounters with mobs that use frost traps or cold spells
You can stack Frostbite resistance with gear, but nothing works as quickly as this seed. Add it to your hotbar like with Despair; opening the inventory in combat is simply asking for trouble. Stock up from shrines regularly. They automatically refill your five-slot carry limit from global storage, so there’s no need to buy 10+ unless you’re hoarding.
