Mibu Balloons (Wealth, Possession)
Mibu Balloons are a pair of consumable items in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice that enhance your resource gathering. The Balloon of Wealth boosts your Sen acquisition, while the Balloon of Possession increases the likelihood of enemies dropping other valuable items. Using these balloons strategically can significantly speed up your progression and preparation for tougher challenges.
In Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, the Mibu Balloons come in two distinct forms: the Mibu Balloon of Wealth and the Mibu Balloon of Possession. The Balloon of Wealth is a boon for any shinobi looking to amass more Sen, the in-game currency used for purchasing items and services. When active, it increases the amount of Sen dropped by defeated enemies. The Mibu Balloon of Possession, on the other hand, focuses on increasing the drop rate of other miscellaneous items from foes. This can include crafting materials for your Shinobi Prosthetic, healing items, or other useful consumables. Both balloons are consumed upon use and have a limited duration, so it's wise to deploy them when you anticipate engaging in combat or when you're actively farming for specific resources. You can find these balloons in various locations throughout the game world, often in chests or as drops from specific enemies. For instance, a Mibu Balloon of Wealth can be found on the ground floor of a structure after defeating an Ashina Soldier (Matchlock Rifle) in Ashina Castle.

|---|---|---|
| Mibu Balloon of Wealth | Increases Sen drop rate. | Ashina Castle, near Ashina Soldier (Matchlock Rifle) structure. |
| Mibu Balloon of Possession | Increases item drop rate. | Found in various exploration areas. |
