Treasure Carp Scales are a type of currency inSekiro: Shadows Die Twicethat the player can use to buy special items not found anywhere else from either of the two Pot Nobles, Harunaga and Koremori. They can almost exclusively be obtained as drops from the relatively harmless fish enemy known appropriately as Treasure Carp. However, a few can be found and looted from the world or come across by other, less straightforward, means.

Their vibrant orange scales help Wolf find his prey, though be quick, for these aquatic adversaries are agile. They can be found all throughout the game in certain subterranean areas, so keep one’s eyes peeled for these valuable fish and their gleaming scales.
Hirata Estate (7 scales)
This early area has a decent number of scales, though, it is also the location of a very important individual to meet if one wishes to actually use these scales on anything worthwhile. In the corner of the map, across from some boats and by low waterfalls, there will be a spit of land with a suspicious-looking pot. This odd ornament is actually Pot Noble Harunaga, and will trade with Sekiro; scales for items.
The Treasure Carp Scales of Hirata Estate can found in the following areas:
Ashina Castle (2 Scales)
There are a couple of scales to be found in this location, though they only spawn after Ashina Castle is attacked.

All of the scales in this area are located in or around Mibu Village, so be sure to scout the area thoroughly, though carefully, as there are some sneaky foes here.

After giving them this specific item, reload the area to find them turned into an enemy. Slay them and then loot their corpse for the 5 precious scales.
