Description[]
The Faithful One (信心深き者, deeply devoted person) of the Sunken Valley is an old pious woman found praying in the Bodhisattva Valley. She's willing to reveal the secret of the "dried fruit" to Wolf in exchange for some rice of the Divine Child. She appreciates when a devoted man joins her in prayer.
Location[]
- Bodhisattva Valley: appears just behind the Sculptor's Idol, after Wolf has spoken with the Faithful One of Senpou Temple.
Progression #1 (Rice and Fruit)[]
Ashina Castle (Upper Tower - Kuro's Room)[]
Exhaust Kuro's dialogue, until he reveals Isshin's whereabouts. Traverse the rooftops following the trail of pink smoke signals to reach his room. Question him about the Mortal Blade and its location.
Senpou Temple (Main Hall)[]
The Illusive Hall Bell has now appeared in the Main Hall of Senpou Temple: ringing it will grant access to the Folding Screen Monkeys bossfight.
Senpou Temple (Inner Sanctum)[]
Talk to the Divine Child of Rejuvenation to receive the Mortal Blade, then speak to her again to receive rice. It's now possible to ask her for rice everytime Sekiro runs out of his only supply.
Sunken Valley (Bodhisattva Valley)[]
Give the rice to the Faithful One and she'll inform Wolf of a "dried fruit" found at the bottom of the valley, in the cave beyond the poison swamp.
It's possible to reach the cave in two ways:
- Use the branches below her to safely land at the bottom of the area and traverse the mud to find the cave just past the Toxic Memorial Mob.
- Perform a Plunge Deathblow on the Great Serpent from the Sunken Valley Cavern (check this page for more informations), but don't take the Finisher Deathblow to get shallowed alive by the beast, that will then bring Wolf to the entrance of the cave.
At the end of the cave, the Great Serpent will attack Sekiro if he tries to reach the shrine from the bridge, so take the left, drop down and climb the wall ahead to reach a cliff with a scared Monkey and five Spirit Emblems: equip the Puppeteer Ninjutsu awarded after defeating the Folding Screen Monkeys and perform a Backstab Deathblow on it, following it with another attack to take control of it. As it screams to bait the creature away from the bridge, prepare to grapple onto it after the Serpent is done attacking the beast. The Dried Serpent Viscera is found on the Buddha statue inside the shrine.
Progression #2 (Show Your Devotion)[]
Once per playthrough, after having spoken to her, it's possible to receive a reward by using next to her for the first time one of the following items:
- Bell Demon
- Bundled Jizo Statue
- Dragon's Blood Droplet (not at the Sculptor's Idol)
- Any of the Mibu Balloons
She'll gift Wolf one of the following items in this order:
- Ungo's Sugar [x1]
- Ako's Sugar [x1]
- Divine Confetti [x1]
This questline and its progression is shared with the Faithful One of Senpou Temple and the Faithful One of Ashina Castle.

Rot Essence: Faithful One | ||
| Dialogue | ||
|---|---|---|
| First encounter | Faithful One: Ah, fruits of the serpent, yes... There are two kinds. One is fresh. The other is dried. Over there. The dried fruit is over there. Past the poison swamp, down the nest... That's where you'll find it.
Wolf: What are you talking about? Dried fruit?
Faithful One: Heh? Something troubling you? Rice for me, that's the way. Rice, I say! | |
| Speaking again | Faithful One: Have any rice? Rice from the Divine Child! | |
| Witnessing "acts of prayer" | Faithful One:
| |
| Given Rice | Wolf: ...here's some rice. Faithful One: Ohhh, ohhh there's no doubt...this is the Divine Child's rice!
Oh, thank heavens, thank heavens. | |
| Infected with Dragonrot | Faithful One: (Wheezing...) Wolf:
Faithful One: Divine... Child... (Wheezing) Argh... I...don't know... Which... way... | |
| "Take coughed up blood sample" | Faithful One: (Wheezing and coughing up blood) Wolf: I'm taking a blood sample. | |
Notes[]
- She'll disappear from the game for the rest of the playthrough, after the Divine Child has consumed both Serpent Persimmons.
- While her "Rice and Fruit" quest can be completed at any point in the game, it won't be possible to unlock the Return ending by bringing Rice for Kuro to the Divine Heir, after the defeat of the Divine Dragon.
- Shares her Dragonrot infection and her Rot Essence with the Faithful One of Senpou Temple and the Faithful One of Ashina Castle.
