The Mibu Balloon of Wealth is a consumable item in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice that temporarily increases the amount of Sen (currency) dropped by defeated enemies. This item is particularly useful for players looking to quickly accumulate wealth for purchasing items or upgrading their gear.
What is the Mibu Balloon of Wealth?
The Mibu Balloon of Wealth is a rare consumable that, when used, provides a temporary boost to the Sen obtained from defeated enemies. This means that for a limited duration, every enemy you defeat will drop more Sen than usual, accelerating your accumulation of the game's currency.
How to Obtain Mibu Balloons of Wealth
These balloons can be acquired through several methods:
- Merchant Purchases: Certain merchants, particularly Fujioka the Info Broker, may sell Mibu Balloons of Wealth. Their stock can be limited, so it's worth checking regularly.
- Enemy Drops: While not a common drop, some enemies may occasionally yield a Mibu Balloon of Wealth upon defeat.
- Exploration and Chests: They can sometimes be found as loot in chests or hidden in various locations throughout the game world.
- Quest Rewards: Completing certain side quests or specific events might reward Sekiro with Mibu Balloons of Wealth.
Strategic Use of the Mibu Balloon of Wealth
The Mibu Balloon of Wealth is best used strategically:
- Farming Sen: Before embarking on a session of farming Sen in a high-enemy-density area, use a Mibu Balloon of Wealth to maximize your earnings.
- Before Major Purchases: If you are saving up for a particularly expensive item from a merchant, using a balloon beforehand can significantly speed up the process.
- During Boss Fights (with caution): While risky due to the need to use the item mid-combat, using it just before a boss fight that you are confident you can win can yield a substantial Sen reward.
Duration and Effectiveness
The Mibu Balloon of Wealth has a limited duration. Once activated, its effect lasts for a set period, after which enemies will return to their normal Sen drop rate. It is important to be aware of the duration and plan your farming or purchasing activities accordingly.
