What are Tarsyu Flowers?
Each one is tied to a unique passive or active 'Ancestor Skill'. Most sit on floating rocks or peaks, so you will want your banshee.
Shown on the in-game map: yes (red beams after the first one).
How to collect them
- 1
The first one comes from the story (Songs of the Ancestor), and after that every other flower shows up on the map as a red light beam.
