Okay Tarnished, let's be real—farming Ghost Glovewort 9 is a PAIN! 😩 I've been there, wandering through the Lands Between in 2026, still upgrading my Mimic Tear and Black Knife Tiche for those NG+7 runs. If you’re anything like me, you want those elite Spirit Ashes maxed out fast, without spending hours lost in some creepy cave. Well, I’ve compiled all the guaranteed spots to grab this elusive flower, plus a game‑changing secret to buy it infinitely. Let’s dive in! 🗡️✨

Why Ghost Glovewort 9 Matters

Before we start, a quick reality check: Ghost Gloveworts are the only way to upgrade legendary and special Spirit Ashes. Level 9 is the final step before the Great Ghost Glovewort, which pushes your summons to their absolute max. We’re talking about the difference between a mild distraction and a tank that can solo Malenia while you sip tea in the corner. ☕ These plants are rare, so don’t waste them on that one ash you never use!

You might ask, Can’t I just find all 9 in one cozy spot? Haha, no. Miyazaki laughs at our pain. But I’ve got you covered with every single location, including some stealthy bonus drops that many guides overlook.

All Known Ghost Glovewort 9 Locations

Below I’ve listed the spots in the order I usually tackle them, from the underground river to the hellhole that is the Haligtree.

1. Nokstella Waterfall Basin

   After taking the magical elevator down into the Ainsel River, you’ll find yourself at this Site of Grace. From the elevator, just make a quick left. The Glovewort is sitting right there, practically begging you to pick it up. Easiest one of the bunch – enjoy it while it lasts! 💃

2. Grand Cloister

   Once you reach this Site of Grace, head to the lower level and travel west. You’ll see a huge insect‑monster ritual circle. Right in the middle, among all the creepy vibes, lies your precious Ghost Glovewort 9. Bring some fire and a brave heart. 🔥

3. Zamor Ruins

   Fight your way through the ruins; it’s pretty straightforward. The Glovewort is towards the end, across an indoor bridge. Don’t get distracted by the ancient Zamor warriors – you’re here for that flower!

4. Haligtree Roots (Tombstone Patch)

   Once you’ve unlocked this late‑game area, take the elevator up and walk outside. Then hang a left and follow the winding path until you reach a quiet set of tombstones. Nestled among them is one lone Ghost Glovewort 9. This same location later gives you the Bell Bearing, so keep it in mind!

5. Elphael Inner Wall (Haligtree)

   This area is a treasure trove if you’re willing to get your hands dirty. Exit outside through the door to your right and locate the ladder to the Southeast. Climb down, and you’ll face a spider‑like enemy. Kill it – it drops a Ghost Glovewort 9 immediately.

   But wait, there’s more! From there, keep exploring the bottom floor. You’ll encounter three additional similar enemies. Each one will drop another Ghost Glovewort 9. That’s a total of four in this one zone alone! Just be careful, they hit hard, so use hit‑and‑run tactics.

Honestly, I think this is the best farming loop if you’re going manual. Is it dangerous? Yes. Is it worth it? Absolutely. 😈

The Genius Shortcut: Ghost Glovewort Picker’s Bell Bearing 3

Now, let’s be honest. Running all over the map every playthrough gets old fast. Wouldn’t it be heavenly to just buy unlimited Ghost Gloveworts 7, 8, and 9 from the Twin Maiden Husks? Enter the Ghost Glovewort Picker’s Bell Bearing 3.

To grab it, travel to the Haligtree Roots Site of Grace (yes, that same one from before). Take the elevator up, head outside, and immediately turn left. Clear out the enemies along the path – no need to be fancy, just murder everything in sight. Keep following the path until you spot the familiar patch of tombstones.

Right in the middle of those gravestones sits the Ghost Glovewort Picker’s Bell Bearing 3. It’s practically a gift for the observant Tarnished. Once you hand this over to the Twin Maiden Husks at the Roundtable Hold, you can stock up on Ghost Gloveworts to your heart’s content. No more grinding, just pure convenience. 💖

My Personal Tips (2026 Edition)

• Don’t miss Great Ghost Gloveworts: You’ll still need a handful of Great Ghost Gloveworts to finalize the last upgrade step. These are even rarer, but the bell bearing won’t cover them – so keep exploring!

• Check your inventory before buying: Maybe you already have 12 Ghost Glovewort 9s from those Elphael spider rampages. Save your runes for something else!

• Combo with Mausoleum upgrades: Remember, you can duplicate Remembrances at Walking Mausoleums, but spirit ashes are forever. Prioritize your trusty summons.

• As of 2026, there haven’t been any patches that added new Ghost Glovewort 9 locations (I checked after the small March update). So this guide remains your golden ticket.

So, grab those Gloveworts, max out your Black Knife Tiche or Mimic Tear, and make the Lands Between your playground. Malenia won’t know what hit her. 🩸💀

Happy hunting, brave Tarnished! If you found this guide helpful, I’m sure your spectral buddy will thank you – probably with a solid backstab on Radagon. ✨
