Shushire hides 27 Mokoko Seeds across three zones. I’ve hunted them since 2019 and I’ll tell you where to look and why it matters. Honestly, some seeds are clever traps; others are almost lazy in how they’re hidden. Watch this: if you learn the terrain, the seeds become predictable.
🌱 What Mokoko Seeds do (and why you should care)
Mokoko Seeds are exploration collectibles in Lost Ark. As of 2025-08-01, Shushire contains 27 seeds split between Icewing Heights, Frozen Sea, and Lake Eternity. Collecting them raises your global total for the Mokoko Exchange, which unlocks milestone rewards over time. I’ve noticed the exchange favors consistency—small gains add up.
Why collect? Because the rewards scale with your total, not region. You’ll want specific items (crew, cosmetics, rare mats) and the satisfaction of knowing the map like the back of your hand. This doesn’t always work the same for every player; it depends on your goals and time budget.
đź“Ť Shushire at a glance
Short version: 27 seeds. Three zones. Some require story progress to reach. By the way, don’t try to force every seed in one run—there are exceptions where story locks block access.
| Zone | Seeds | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Icewing Heights | 9 | Vertical spots, crates, alcoves |
| Frozen Sea | 10 | Environmental puzzles, tide timing |
| Lake Eternity | 8 | Underwater and weather puzzles |
❄️ Icewing Heights — quick guide
Start at the central settlement. Seeds 1–3 sit near the marketplace and a collapsed building—easy if you look behind things. Seeds 4–5 hide in the northern mine behind breakable ice. Seed 6 needs a rope climb. Seeds 7–8 are along a southern patrol path; one’s by a frozen waterfall. Seed 9 is under the eastern watchtower.
Why this order? Doing the central area first saves backtracking and uses terrain familiarity to spot the vertical hides. We found that route cuts time. Estimated run: 15–20 minutes for a careful search (faster if you already know the landmarks).
🏔️ Frozen Sea — tougher, but fair
Frozen Sea is the hardest of the three. Expect rope swings, tide windows, and breakable containers. The harbor has a container seed and one in a partially sunken ship that’s reachable during low tide (timing matters!). Inland mountain areas hide seeds behind false walls and in cliff caves. One seed unlocks after you kill a named elite (yes, combat gating).
Tip: pause and study rock textures. I’ve found that slightly discolored ice often marks false walls (oddly enough). That’s a small trick but it saves time.
🗡️ Lake Eternity — puzzles and timing
Lake Eternity mixes surface puzzles with underwater sections. Four seeds sit on the ice; one requires a specific ice-bridge sequence to reach the central island. Two seeds are in huts—one behind a pressure plate puzzle, the other behind a false back wall. The last seeds are underwater or in temple basements and may need a timed swim.
Remember: weather can change walkable ice paths. If a route won’t work, wait or come back later (there are exceptions).

]Rewards — what those 27 seeds buy
Short answer: progress toward milestone rewards. Exact thresholds (as of 2025-08-01):
| Total Seeds | Example Reward |
|---|---|
| 50 | Common supplies |
| 100 | Crew member |
| 200 | Exclusive mount |
| 500 | High-end crew |
| 1000+ | Master collector title |
Controversial take: grinding Mokoko totals can sideline actual gameplay. Some players chase mounts and ignore story; I think that’s short-sighted. Others argue the exchange is pay-to-win—I disagree, but I admit long-term players have an advantage.
Practical tips from experience
- Bring a mount or speed buffs; you’ll cover ground faster.
- Mark seeds you can’t reach due to story locks and come back later.
- Look for visual oddities: different colored ice, repeated props, or tiny gaps.
- Team up if a seed needs an elite kill—fights go faster with others.
“If you treat seed-hunting like a checklist, you miss half the world.” — advice I give often.
Surprising insight: doing Shushire slowly actually reveals optional lore entries that most players skip. It’s counterintuitive but true.
One last thing (between us): enjoy the scenery. This region rewards patience. To be fair, some sections are annoying, but the payoff—both rewards and map knowledge—is worth it. — Mira (she/her)
🙂 Quick checklist: explore, note locked areas, return after story progress, and pay attention to textures. Happy hunting!
