How to get Ghost Flowers in Ghost of Yotei

To get Ghost Flowers, you will need to be playing in New Game Plus, which means you will have to have finished the main story at least once. Once that is done, you will be able to start an NG+ run from the main menu. NG+ mode is pretty traditional in that you will keep your equipment and unlocks, but you will also get access to NG+ exclusive features, such as a new vendor who takes Ghost Flowers as currency. You can find the Merchant just to the northwest of your home in the Yotei Grasslands. To get Ghost Flowers, you will need to complete main quests and side quests in the story, so get stuck into the exciting narrative of Ghost of Yotei. Doing bounties for Kojiro the Bounty Broker will also earn you Ghost Flowers, as will unlocking Altars of Reflection. You will get some for each Altar you unlock, so don’t forget to visit them all again on your new run. The vendor, Masujio the Melodious, will sell charms that can also grant these flowers. They will usually come with some sort of curse as a tradeoff, such as an increase in Stamina costs, and result in a chance to get flowers from killing enemies. These are the Charm of Curse Spirit, Charm of Misfortune, and Charm of Frailty. They essentially allow you to trade less value drops in NG+ for the chance to get Ghost Flowers.

NFL rumors: Chargers urged to explore Aaron Jones trade with Vikings

The Los Angeles Chargers have gotten their season back on track with a recent win against the Minnesota Vikings. Currently holding a 5-3 record, the Chargers find themselves in a tight race within the AFC West division, competing closely with the Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos. As the NFL trade deadline approaches, there is speculation that the Chargers might look to add talent to boost their chances in the second half of the season.

One intriguing trade possibility involves a player swap between the Chargers and Vikings, centered around running back Aaron Jones. ESPN’s Bill Barnwell recently suggested that Minnesota could consider moving on from Jones to save money, as the team seems poised for some retooling next offseason.

“Moving on from Jones might be more about saving money than anything else. He is owed just over $1 million in 2025 and has $2 million of his $10 million compensation in 2026 guaranteed, a deal the Vikings are likely to move on from this offseason,” Barnwell wrote. “Would a team like the Chargers be willing to essentially pay $3 million to have Jones in its lineup for the rest of 2025?”

Los Angeles appears to be an ideal destination for Jones. The Chargers have had to rely on Kimani Vidal due to injuries to Omarion Hampton and Najee Harris, who are both on injured reserve. Jones would clearly be a short-term upgrade to the Chargers’ backfield.

Meanwhile, Minnesota still has running backs Jordan Mason and Zavier Scott, who could manage the team’s carries for the remainder of the season. Jones remains a capable receiving back, even as he enters the later years of his career, and would add a valuable dimension to the Chargers’ offense.

**Vikings Urged to Trade Linebacker Ivan Pace Jr. Amid Slow Start**

In addition to Aaron Jones, Barnwell also recommended that the Vikings consider trading linebacker Ivan Pace Jr. at the trade deadline. “Pace, who has fallen out of the starting lineup and played just 17 defensive snaps over the past two weeks, is a restricted free agent after the season,” he noted.

Minnesota finds itself in a challenging position as a franchise. The team has invested heavily in young players, especially quarterback J.J. McCarthy, but those investments have yet to fully pay off. With limited draft capital available in the future, executing one or two key trades could significantly improve the Vikings’ outlook moving forward.

“The Vikings had only five picks in 2025, and at 3-4, they haven’t looked like a team that can make a deep playoff push this season,” Barnwell added.

Given their current standing, the Vikings make sense as sellers at the trade deadline. However, they may opt to keep their full roster intact for McCarthy’s crucial sophomore season. That said, if the team’s record falls to 3-5 following their upcoming game, they might reconsider and hit the panic button.

As the trade deadline looms, both the Chargers and Vikings could benefit from making strategic moves that align with their long-term goals. Fans will be watching closely to see how these potential trades unfold.
