What is a Lump of Fat Wax?
Not to be confused with the Lump of Grave Wax, the Lump of Fat Wax item is another special Upgrade Material. You will need to grab quite a few of the elusive item in order to upgrade Prosthetic Tools. As with any upgrade items you will need to take and use any collected Lumps of Fat Wax to The Sculptor in the Dilapidated Temple.
You will need many Lumps of Fat Wax in order to unlock the Lazulite Sacred Flame, Lazulite Shuriken, Phantom Kunai, Golden Vortex, Purple Fume Spark, Great Feather Mist Raven, and Phoenix’s Lilac Umbrella Prosthetic Tool upgrades. Simply put, you will definitely want to find as many Lump of Fat Wax items as you can. Thankfully, there are a few known Lump of Fat Wax locations and a couple of solid Sekiro Lump of Fat Wax farming locations. You will want to note down all the areas where you can find the coveted item and that’s where we come in.
Sekiro Lump of Fat Wax Farming Location | Where to find the Lump of Fat Wax item
As stated above, there are few areas where you can find Lumps of Fat Wax in Sekiro Shadows Die Twice. Monks will drop them in the Senpou Temple Mt. Kongo area, for starters. You will also find a handful of them in that area of the game. Ashina Depths Hidden Forest, Mibu Village, and Water Mill locations should have a couple of Fat Wax items hidden, too.
Remember to look everywhere, using your grapple to reach new locations. These are typically the areas where you will find Lumps of Fat Wax. A good example of this is after you defeat Takujiro The Glutton in Ashina Depths Hidden Forest. After the fight, continue down the opposite direction in which you arrived. Eventually, you will be able to grapple to a ledge, where underneath, a Lump of Fat Wax should be waiting for you. Scour every nook and cranny and you should find a good number of Lump of Fat Wax items.
Clearing quests such as the Doujun’s questline will award you with Lumps of Fat Wax, as well. Completing the Doujun’s questline, for example, awards you with three Fat Wax lumps. The best way to get hold of the item, however, is to farm it.
There are two particularly good Sekiro Lump of Fat Wax farming locations. The earlier one is the Senpou Temple Mt. Kongo Idol location. Simply head to that location and kill the orange-robed monk enemies before running back to the Idol to rest and reset the area. They will drop Lumps of Fat Wax randomly. Just head up the path from the Idol, killing monks on the way. A note, though, the monks will only drop the coveted item after you fight Genichiro at the top of Ashina Castle.
The other farming method should prove a touch less dangerous, however, although it might be a little slower and is towards the end of the game. The Fountainhead Palace Flower Viewing Stage Idol will prove useful for farming Lumps of Fat Wax. Just as it is a great place to farm Lumps of Grave Wax.
Simply follow these steps and you should slowly but surely, build up a good number of Lump of Fat Wax items:
- Go to the Fountainhead Palace Flower Viewing Stage Idol
- Use a Mibu Balloon of Soul and Demon Bell if you wish (they should increase item drops)
- Enter the building behind the Idol
- Sneak up to and kill the flute playing squid-like enemy (there’s a second you can insta-kill a little further into the building)
- Run back to the Idol and rest
- Rinse and repeat
You can use the same method to farm Lump of Grave Wax items, too. Whatever Sekiro Lump of Fat Wax farming location you choose, remember to use Mibu Balloons and Demon Bell items to increase item drop numbers. Whichever area you head to, though, remember to be wary of enemies and keep up your guard. Now get out there and start farming for lumps of fat wax.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and the Best of the Soulslikes
It's always exciting to see a new genre emerge. You get that original hit game, the follow-ups and the attempts by other developers to recapture the magic. With the release of Sekiro, let's look back at the landscape of Souslikes so far. -
Demon's Souls
The original that kicked it all off (unless you count King's Field), Demon's Souls went under the radar on the PlayStation 3. Originally, gamers didn't know what to make of it, but anyone who stuck with it got an amazing experience that was unlike anything on the market. -
Dark Souls
By the time a new generation rolled around, From Software had moved from demons to darkness. The Dark Souls trilogy cemented the genre tropes, proving to achieve the popularity that their previous title had only hinted at. Far more than a cult success, these games proved to be influential even outside the genre. -
Bloodborne
Once things started taking off, original Demon's Souls publisher Sony had to get back in the action. Teaming with From, the result was Bloodborne. Taking things was from medieval castles and including firearms for the first time, this was the first hint that this formula was flexible. -
Lords of the Fallen
Developed by Deck13 Interactive and CI Games, Lords of the Fallen takes things in a more Norse direction. Using hammers and axes, you must fight towering gods and demons. After this game's success, the two developers split, with CI working on an upcoming sequel to this Viking Soulslike. -
Nioh
Team Ninja tried their hands at Souslikes with Nioh, a game where you control an Irish Samurai and fight yokai. The game was announced back in 2004 as Oni and changed hands multiple times before release. Originally another PlayStation 4 exclusive for the genre, the game has since come to PC with all its DLC bundled in. -
The Surge
Deck13 took what they learned from Lords of the Fallen and took the Soulslike genre into the future. The Surge has you stomping around in a mech suit fighting uncontrollable robots. Once you destroy an enemy, you can scrap their parts and convert them into weapons for you to use. A sequel is currently set to release in 2o19. -
Ashen
Developed by A44, Ashen puts players into a world without light. Each character is a muted faceless person, adding to the downtrodden vibe of the entire experience. While combat is inspired by Dark Souls, the game also features open-world exploration and novel passive multiplayer encounters. -
Immortal: Unchained
Going even more Norse than Lords of the Fallen, Immortal: Unchained finds you battling the monsters of Ragnarok. Instead of swords and spears, your character uses a mix of technologically advanced firearms to take down each and every mysterious foe. More fast-paced than other soulslikes, you'll need to duck and weave to stay alive. -
Death's Gambit
Pitched as a merger of Souslike and Castlevania, Death's Gambit is also one of the first games to take these concepts into the second dimension. You can choose from seven playable classes as you seek immortality in this labyrinth of death. -
Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption
What if you didn't have to explore a Soulslike? What if you just fought a collection of out of control boss monsters? Then, you'd have Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption. In this game, you start at your strongest and level down as you progress, adding to the challenge.
