In Tears of the Kingdom, The Legend of Zelda game showcases a diverse range of collectible items that Link can utilize for various purposes, including crafting elixirs and enhancing armor. One of these valuable materials is Blue Nightshade, an illuminating flower that can be discovered in numerous locations across Hyrule. It can typically be found blooming atop hills or near small bodies of water.
Blue Nightshade serves multiple purposes, such as being a key ingredient in cooking dishes that enhance stealth abilities, a component for creating dye at the Kochi Dye Shop, and an essential element for upgrading the Stealth Armor set. To assist players in obtaining Blue Nightshade efficiently, here are the top farming spots in Tears of the Kingdom.
Rutile Lake
One of the prime locations for gathering Blue Nightshade is Rutile Lake, situated at coordinates (-2472, -0650, 0207) in the southwest region of Satori Mountain. This serene lake, along with its encompassing vicinity, not only offers a bountiful supply of 7-9 Blue Nightshade but also presents the opportunity to procure numerous Silent Princess flowers and other highly sought-after plants like Endura Carrot and Fleet Lotus Seeds. Additionally, the area teems with a diverse range of wildlife, enabling Link to harvest various valuable ingredients, including Chillfin Trout, Sneaky River Snails, and Raw Bird Drumsticks from wild avian species.
East Hill
Situated just north of Kakariko Village in West Necluda, East Hill (coordinates 1870, -0821, 0237) offers an ideal location for collecting Blue Nightshade in abundance. At the hill's summit, players can easily gather 10-14 Blue Nightshade and a handful of Silent Princess in a concentrated area. To reach this spot swiftly, fast travel to the Makasura Shrine and head north through the village. Then, utilize a combination of climbing and the Ascend ability to ascend the hill.
Great Hyrule Forest
The player can discover Blue Nightshade deep within the Great Hyrule Forest by heading northwest from the Korok Woods located at the forest's center. However, to access the forest and reach this specific area, the player must initially navigate through the Lost Woods. Unlike in Breath of the Wild, where the Korok Woods can be reached directly, in Tears of the Kingdom, the player must first venture underground into the Depths. Follow this comprehensive guide to successfully reach the Korok Woods and gather its plentiful supply of 7-10 Blue Nightshade.
Pond in Farosh Hills
In the Farosh Hills area of the West Necluda region, players can discover a quaint little pond situated at coordinates (0607, -2563, 0074). To reach this spot, simply fast travel to the Popla Foothills Skyview Tower, take flight into the sky, and gracefully glide towards the southern direction until you reach the serene lake situated below the “Farosh Hills” label on the world map. In this tranquil location, players can typically gather around 6-7 Blue Nightshade blossoms and also seize a handful of Sneaky River Snails.
