Aquaria/Ingredients

Ingredients are used in cooking.

Plant Leaves
Plant leaves are by far the item in most demand throughout the game, as it is used in creating multiple types of healing items. Luckily, they are also found in a fair amount of abundance, though never as much as you might like.

Where to find:
 * Yanking up the plants in the ground with Bind will give you this items at random.
 * The fire-breathing seahorses in the Kelp Forest drop three when you kill them.
 * If you enter Mithalas by the transport plant, the jars there hold two or three.
 * Just outside the Sunken City entrance is a box containing three leaves.
 * If you use the transport plant in Naija's home, you can Bind some of the plants there (if you have the Seed Bag) and they usually have leaves/poultices.

Red Berries
Berries can flavor your ice cream and mae a veggie cake to a special cake. Otherwise they are used for some special recipes like the Vulcano Roll or Hot Borscht.

Where to find:
 * Yanking up the plants in the ground with Bind will give you this items at random.
 * The best place to find the plants is the Kelp Forest and inside Naija's home if you have the Seed Bag.
 * There's also a single plant literally right outside of Naija's home. Pull it up, return back to her home to respawn, come back out and etcetera.

Green Bulbs
They can be used for veggie soup instead of leaves.

Where to find:
 * Yanking up the plants in the ground with Bind will give you this item at random.
 * The best place to find the plants is the Kelp Forest and inside Naija's home if you have the Seed Bag.
 * There's also a single plant literally right outside of Naija's home. Pull it up, return back to her home to respawn, come back out and etcetera.

Mushrooms
Used in life long soup, along with small tentacles.

Where to find
 * Yanking up the plants in the ground with Bind will give you this items at random but rarely.

Rainbow Mushrooms
If a recipe calls for a generic mushroom, this will do... but it's more fun to put one of these in soup to make some interesting drugs.

Where to find:
 * There's a house in Mithalas nearby the entrance to the Mithalas Cathedral that holds three jars, each containing one Rainbow Mushroom. These will respawn everytime you leave the town map and return to it.


 * Random jars in Mithalas may also hold these.

Red Bulbs
Used in making Cold Borscht, Hot Borscht and the Volcano roll.

Where to find:
 * A glowing plant in Kelp Forest (above the cave with the Nymphs) has two of them.

Special Bulbs
Used in making Arcane Poultices, which give full healing.

Where to find:
 * Dropped by some bosses.
 * In a secret up high room by the Sun Temple Boss.
 * In the Kelp Forest (?) in a passage you can only enter with Spirit form.

Jelly Oil
Jelly oil is also in high demand, as it can turn leaf poultices into healing poultices. Also useful for a couple of other recipes, including ice cream. You can never have enough jelly oil.

Where to find:
 * There are jellyfish all over The Veil, although you want the blue ones and not the yellow.
 * There are two or three in Nautilus Prime's chamber, just exit to Naija's home and re-enter to respawn them.
 * There is also a single one literally right outside of Naija's home. Kill it, collect, go back into her home to respawn the jellyfish, etcetera.

Fish Oil
Fish oil is the most plentiful form of oil. Used to make soup, butter sea loaves, and as a part of a number of other recipes. It's used often enough that you'll likely run out, despite its plentiful nature.

Where to find:
 * Same as fish meat, just shoot energy bolts into schools of fish. You'll build them up in no time. There are many schools near Naija's home and in The Veil.

Eel Oil
Where to find:
 * A bit harder, there are 2 eels on the eastern side of The Veil and two or three on the west. It's a slow process to find them. The fastest choice is to shot the two eels outisde of Naija's home cave (where the big grey fish is) and they drop it from time to time.
 * Another location to find these wonderful oils is inside Mithalas City. The eels that inhabit some of the broken buildings have a chance to drop these.

Fish Meat
Fish meat is pretty generic meat, and found in abundance almost everywhere. Mostly used to make rolls and soup.

Where to find:
 * Remarkably simple, just shoot energy bolts into schools of fish. You'll build them up in no time. There are many schools near Naija's home and in The Veil.

Spicy Meat
Used to make spicy soup and spicy rolls, which in turn are used in the construction of volcano rolls, which greatly increase your firepower.

Where to find:
 * The yellow jellyfish near the surface in most areas of The Veil will drop these like candy.

Rubbery Meat
Rubbery meat transforms sea cakes into tough sea cakes, which not only heal you, but increase your defense for a short while. Crucial for many boss fights.

Where to find: There is one in Homewaters too. Check the cave entrance under the one that leads to open waters.
 * In The Veil, where you fight/fought the octopus boss, there are a few small squids. Each drops 2-3 rubbery meat and 1 small tentacle.

Swordfish Steaks
A healing item on their own, these can also be cooked in various recipes for some very nice meals.

Where to find: - If you head south out of The Veil, you will reach a circular cavern that branches off in many directions with only two swordfish in it. These are the only swordfish I have ever seen.

Turtle Meat
Used in turtle soup.

Where to find: If you have the turtle egg there will be some Turtles in Naija's home cave too.
 * Simply go into the Turtle Cave in The Veil and go wild in energy form. Easy meat.

Rotten Meat
Seemingly useless at first, but required in order to get Swamp Cakes, which give your fish form an attack.

Where to find:
 * Most vases in Mithalas will give these upon breakage.

Small Eyes
Where to find:
 * The miniature one-eyed squids shot out of little pods throughout Aquaria give you these.There are a few east of Naija's home.

Fish Eggs
Where to find:
 * The little pods that shoot the miniature one-eyed squids at you give you these. There are a few east of Naija's home.

Rukh Eggs
Used in some very powerful recipes, these eggs are extremely hard to get.

Where to find:
 * The easiest place is in The Veil, on the far eastern side. Swim through a small cavern on the eastern wall, then walljump up an entire canyon to find a single Rukh there. Attack it until it drops its egg, then jump into the nest (try not to jump OVER it and back into the water) and you'll have your well-earned egg.

Spider Eggs
Where to find:
 * There are giant spiders all throughout the Kelp Forest, each will give you one egg when you kill it.

Glowing Eggs
Glowing eggs, added to healing poultices, will create an item to heal poison as well as health.

Where to find:
 * Angler fish in the Abyss drop these.
 * The angular fish in Mithalas Castle drop these, as well.

Small Tentacles
Used in Life Long Soup, which heals and gives regeneration.

Where to find: There is one in Homewaters too. Check the cave entrance under the one that leads to open waters.
 * In The Veil, where you fight/fought the octopus boss, there are a few small squids. Each drops 2-3 rubbery meat and 1 small tentacle.

Shark Fins
Used in Shark Fin Soup.

Where to find:
 * In The Veil, far eastern side, there is a group of three sharks (one being fairly large) near the surface. Each will drop a fin. There are also sharks in the Kelp forest.

Ice Chunks
Required for ice cream and cold soup.

Where to find:
 * The blue crabs inside the Ice Caves east of The Abyss will drop these.

Small Bones
Only useful for a few rare recipes like the Vedha Sea Crisp or the Vedha's Cure-All.

Where to find:
 * Easily the most common (and annoying) item pulled from plants with the Bind song.
 * Also inside vases in Mithalas.
