In Ghost of Yotei, the “A Flower for Your Thoughts” quest is a short side story that sends you exploring the Amber Respite Shrine in the Tokachi Range. Your goal is to collect three blue flowers and return them to a basket, but the path isn’t as straightforward as it seems. The flowers blend in with the environment, and the directions can be a little tricky. This guide will show you exactly where to start and how to find all three flowers.
A Flower For Your Thoughts
A Flower for Your Thoughts quest begins in the northeast of Yotei Grasslands. You need to go to the Amber Respite Shrine in the Tokachi Range. To get there, head west from Huranui’s Rest Inn. At the trailhead near one of the Torii gates, you will find a note that starts the quest. You need to collect three blue flowers along the shrine trail, but these flowers are easy to miss. They look just like the other plants all over Yotei, and the directions in the note can be a bit confusing
Where to Find the Flowers
After you reach the shrine then you have to bow at it. Now, head left of the shrine and slide down a rocky slope. Follow this path until you reach a pond. Here, you will need to find the three blue flowers.
You will find the first flower towards the left of the pond. Head towards the trees, near the pond. You will find the first flower just near the rocky edge, beside the trees.
For the second flower, walk around the edge of the pond. Reach the point where the water flows into a waterfall. You will find the second flower there.
Now, to find the third flower, look at the waterfall falling at the pond. The third flower is on the right side where the water lands.
All three flowers are labeled as hydrangeas. Once you have collected them, go back to the note you found at the start and place the flowers in the basket. With that the “A Flower for Your Thoughts” quest is complete.
