Early on in Trials of Mana the cast of characters comes across a man looking for a cactus. A little further down the road the party will meet the mysterious Li'l Cactus. This curious creature is hiding in 50 different places across the world and finding them nets great rewards along the way. Li'l Cactus will only start appearing around the world once the first one has been introduced and will never be in locations that cannot be revisited after completion so don't worry about missing any! Rewards from Li'l Cactus are earned for every 5 that are found and fortunately we've done all the hard looking! Below are all the locations for Li'l Cactus, in addition to all the rewards for finding them. What's even better is progress on collecting Li'l Cactus continues into New Game Plus, making it perfect for replays. It's worth noting that while these Cactus are all listed and categorized by area, some cannot be obtained until later in the story when more of the area is unlocked.

Rewards:

5 Cactus: View undiscovered treasure boxes

10 Cactus: Get a 10% discount at shops

15 Cactus: Occasional 2x boost to EXP

20 Cactus: Time needed to escape from battle now halved

25 Cactus: Rest at inns free of charge and a 20% discount at shops

30 Cactus: More items available and resetting Training Points half-off at the Night Market

35 Cactus: View undiscovered treasure boxes and Li'l Cactus sightings

40 Cactus: Occasional 3x boost to EXP

45 Cactus: Higher chance of good tields from seeds

50 Cactus: Obtain Li'l Cactus Ring and gain the Li'l Cactus Chain Ability*

*Li'l Cactus Ring fills CS gauge while walking and Cactus Soul Chain Ability adds 200% to all allies' CS when battle starts if equipped

 

Each Cactus is marked with a red flower icon and is displayed alongside where they're hidden away on the map to help you easily find them in every area of the game!

At a certain point in the story, the cast of characters will find themselves either traveling to the Crystal Desert, Night Cavern or Jungle of Visions. This depends on the main character that is chosen. If Duran or Angela are the main character, players will visit the Crystal Desert. If Hawkeye or Riesz are the main character, players will visit the Night Cavern. If Kevin or Charlotte are the main character, players will visit the Jungle of Visions. The party will only visit one of these locations per adventure which individually contain two Li'l Cactus. Regardless of the play through all 50 can be obtained without another adventure, so don't worry that some of the below Cactus are in a location that can't be visited.

Crystal Desert

Jungle of Visions

Night Cavern

Hopefully this helps all those in desperate need to complete Trials of Mana. Be sure to check out the Character Class and Secret Boss Location guides for even more information!
