"Shock to the System" is a Standard Quest in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 that tasks participants with finding Roccodori Root, Heavy Pomegranate, and Egg Seed. Egg Seeds, in particular, can be moderately tricky to find, especially if players do not know where to begin their search. Nevertheless, locating this quest item will help players fulfill "Shock to the System," rewarding them with 3,830 XP, 2,170 Gold, 3 SP, and Platinum Anklets upon completion. Accordingly, finding Egg Seeds in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is an endeavor that is well worth the player's time and effort.

To find Egg Seeds in Xenoblade 3, players will need to reach the Cadensia Region, the land bordering the Keves Castle Region and Swordmarch. As its name implies, the Keves Castle Region on Xenoblade Chronicles 3's map is where Keves Castle is located, harboring swarms of enemies. Swordmarch is characterized as an area pierced by the giant sword of Mechonis. Once players arrive in the Cadensia Region, they will need to utilize their boat to traverse across the water to the northern side of the map.

Xenoblade 3: Egg Seed Location

The location of Egg Seeds In Xenoblade Chronicles 3's map

Egg Seeds in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 are located in the Li Garte Prison Camp, an island in the northwestern portion of the Cadensia Region's map. The enemies around this location will be Level 47, so players should ensure their party is appropriately leveled in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 beforehand. After arrival, explore the area for small glowing blue nodes on the ground.

When the controlled party member gets close to an Egg Seed, an exclamation will appear, indicating that the node's resource is the quest item they are looking for. There's no doubt that this island is the best location for finding Egg Seeds in Xenoblade 3, but players can also encounter the resource in other spots of the Cadensia Region, such as the area by the Agnus Docks.
