Finally, there’s one more Snap Seed just beside the Toxic Memorial Mob merchant just outside the Serpent Cave.
5 Snap Seeds in Ashina Outskirts
There are five Snap Seeds right across the hut you enter to hide from the Great Serpent. This is the area beyond the Underbridge Valley Idol and the path you take to get to Ashina Castle Gate.
You can run for the Snap Seeds and risk getting hit by the Great Serpent, or you can hide inside the hut, wait for the Serpent to get near, stab its eye, and run for the Snap Seeds then.

Above the temple is a huggable wall you can use to reach another ledge. Cross the huggable section and you’ll find the Snap Seed.
