Cursed Offering Guide
Okami Pool & Nushi Scales Guide
Offer Cursed Crops or Cursed Fish at Okami Pool, return during Midnight and meet the Pool Master for Nushi's Scale rewards. The sixth reported summon unlocks the Rain Whistle.
Nushi's Scale increases maximum HP. It is not a stamina upgrade, and the complete cursed-item count sequence is not currently verified.
Quick answer
The Okami Pool loop
Keep the daytime offering and Midnight reward steps separate.
1. Find
Waterfall pier
Access the pool from the dock at the Waterfall fishing area.
2. Offer
Cursed item
Cursed Crops and Cursed Fish are the confirmed families.
3. Return
Midnight
Return during Midnight exploration for the Pool Master resolution.
4. Progress
HP then Rain
Nushi's Scale raises max HP; the sixth reported summon gives Rain Whistle.
Location
Use the Waterfall fishing-area pier
Okami Pool is a dock interaction, not a separate coordinate or map region.
At the pool
Travel to the Waterfall fishing area and approach its pier. The supported interaction is offering a cursed item from the dock. No exact tile coordinate or universal map marker is claimed.
At Midnight
The reward step is separate from the daytime throw. Return during Midnight exploration to trigger the Pool Master appearance or reward resolution. Use the Night Anomalies Guide for the broad nighttime system.
Core loop
Offer first, summon later
Do not collapse the two time-of-day steps into one action.
01
Obtain a Cursed Crop or Cursed Fish.
02
Use the Waterfall pier interaction at Okami Pool.
03
Offer the current required cursed item or items.
04
Return during Midnight for the Pool Master reward event.
Count boundary: The required offering quantity changes as progression continues, but the current repository does not contain a trustworthy stage-by-stage table. Do not publish a guessed 1/2/3/4/5/6 sequence.
Eligible offerings
Cursed Crops and Cursed Fish
Both families feed the Okami Pool system, but their acquisition guides remain separate.
Cursed Crops
Cursed Crops are random cursed harvest results from Mud Seeds and follow seasonal crop context. Do not duplicate the complete crop table here.
Open Cursed Crops →Cursed Fish
The fishing database tracks 6 Cursed Fish records, available in the Midnight fishing system. Keep their locations and conditions in the dedicated Fishing guides.
Reward
Nushi's Scale raises maximum HP
This is permanent health progression, not stamina.
Nushi's Scale
Increases maximum HP
The current item description supports the maximum-HP relationship. Exact heart amount, numerical increase, final HP cap and total number of scales remain unverified.
Scale vs stamina
Nushi's Scale belongs to the Okami Pool progression. Fox Fried Tofu belongs to the Fox Shrine offering route and raises maximum stamina. Do not merge these rewards.
See Fox Shrine Offerings →Summon milestone
Rain Whistle at summon six
The current canonical milestone is the sixth reported Pool Master summon.
Continue the Okami Pool offering loop until the sixth reported summon. That milestone is associated with Rain Whistle. The whistle makes rain more likely the following day, but does not guarantee rain.
Not a fixed table
What remains unresolved
Keep these fields out of public hard claims until stronger game data exists.
- Exact offering count for each stage.
- Whether partial progress persists across visits.
- Whether one stage can mix Cursed Crops and Cursed Fish.
- Whether the sixth summon also grants a Scale.
- What happens after the Rain Whistle milestone.
Terminology
Three Nushi ideas, three systems
Pool Nushi
The carp-like supernatural entity summoned through cursed offerings at Okami Pool.
Nushi Fish
Rare white fishing variants with their own fishing locations and conditions.
Open Nushi Fish →Nushi's Scale
A Pool Master progression reward that increases maximum HP.
Practical value
Why collect Nushi Scales?
Use the health upgrade where damage is the bottleneck.
Deep Quarry
Extra maximum HP is especially useful before heavy-damage encounters in deeper mining progression.
Mining guide →Midnight hazards
Night exploration has its own risks. Keep the broader Midnight rules in their dedicated guide.
Midnight guide →Hunting
Health progression can help when learning dangerous animal encounters, but no combat damage formula is claimed here.
