I’m nothing without my little Tsukumo companion from the Wild Hearts.I may be a very bad hunter, but my Tsukumo keeps me alive, distracts fighting monsters at key moments, and uses the Celestial Thread to build Wild Hearts’ big contraptions. Replenish supplies. But to do everything necessary to level up Tsukumo old gear From other tiny robo-guardians hiding around each hunting ground in Azuma. Each region of Wild Hearts has 50 tsukumo, and you’ll want to explore every nook and cranny and build peaks and rocky outcrops.
When you come across a Tsukumo, simply press a button to befriend him and you’ll be rewarded with gear parts used to upgrade your own allies. Tsukumo needs to upgrade his next four stats, so he will need a lot of gear.
- Attack form – how much damage the beast does when attacking
- Defensive form – how strong you can perform before being temporarily knocked out
- Assist form – how effectively it can heal you and how quickly you can recover
- Threader form – how fast you can supply more celestial threads
To enhance Tsukumo, sit by the fire and use the “Enhance Tsukumo” menu. Each stat upgrade costs a few gears towards the next tier. Upgrading Tsukumo also increases thread capacity, allowing you to build more Karakuri during battle. That alone is a great reason to track down as many Tsukumo as possible.
While you can find quite a few Tsukumo locations just by exploring nature, you could be wasting hours trying to hunt down stragglers. Here’s a quick and easy way to track hundreds of Tsukumo locations in Wild Hearts.
How to Find All Wild Hearts Tsukumo
Listen for Tsukumo’s mechanical clatter as you scurry around the environment. They can be heard from considerable distances. When you hear a sound, pause for a moment and listen until you can triangulate which direction the sound is coming from. Nearby tsukumo are likely hiding in small alcoves or on buildings, rocks, or tree branches.
But it only gets you this far. Finding 20-30 of the 50 tsukumo in each region makes them much less likely to come across while hanging out. The solution to finding all Tsukumo in Wild Hearts is in the Karakuri tech tree.
Contraptions are contraptions you create in Wild Hearts, and include combat items such as crates and springs, as well as “dragon contraptions” such as tents, smithies, and fires used to build camps. One of the first dragon tricks you’ll get is a hunting tower that scans for beasts and shows you where they are on the map. After upgrading the Hunting Tower in the Tech Tree, a scan reveals where Tsukumo is on the map.
This is where you can find Tsukumo’s scanning abilities in the tech tree.
There are quite a few upgrades deep in the tree, but if you stick too hard on the left side of the tree, you’ll eventually reach the Deep Probe upgrade. Simply fighting and defeating beasts earns you orbs to use in your tech tree, so the more you hunt, the closer you get to this upgrade.
As you may have noticed in the upgrade description, this Hunting Tower enhancement also identifies a document for each map with added story details. However, each map has more tsukumo than documentation, so you’ll find most of what you’re looking for.
Once this upgrade is complete, be sure to place at least 3 hunting towers in each zone so that your scan covers the entire area (there are also upgrades towards the front of the tree to increase the scan range, which can be helpful). increase). Once you’ve upgraded to Deep Probe, you’ll see a number of question mark icons on your map when using Hunting Towers. Head to each question mark to find a Tsukumo (or rare document).
