Ingredients

To make a Mindwipe Tonic, you need to collect a bunch of ingredients, including:

  • One Water
  • 20 Rare Flowers
  • 20 Rare Mushrooms
  • 200 Mejoberries
  • 24 pieces of a cooked meat like Fish, Lamb Chop, Prime Meat, or Prime Meat Jerky
  • 72 Narcotics
  • 72 Stimulants

Where to find ingredients

  • To get water, just stand in any water with a canteen to fill it up.
  • If you’re looking for Rare Flowers, try looking around swampy areas where you’ll find plants like cattails, brambles, and pitcher plants.
  • For Rare Mushrooms, the best places to check are mangrove trees in swamps or near where the Giant Beavers build their dams.
  • Mejoberries are easier to find. Just pick them from the different bushes you see all over the place.
  • If you need meat, go hunting or fishing.
  • To make Narcotics, take five Narcoberries or Ascerbic Mushrooms and mix them with one Spoiled Meat using a Mortar and Pestle.
  • For Stimulants, mix five Stimberries with two Sparkpowders in a Mortar and Pestle.

Cooking method

After you collect all the ingredients, toss them into a Cooking Pot or an Industrial Cooker for one minute to make a Mindwipe Tonic. You’ll need to use a Mortar and Pestle to make some parts of the recipe, like Narcotics and Stimulants.
