Herbs are an essential resource in Atomfall since you require them for crafting potent tonics. These items will let you brave status effects like infection and poison. Most enemies don’t have herbs in their inventories so you’ll have to look around to find them. Here’s where you can find herbs in Atomfall and why they’re worth collecting.

Finding Herbs¶

Herbs appear as clusters of purple flowers in Atomfall. You might have already sprinted past these on missions like getting Mother Jago’s Herbalism book in Casterfell Hills. Fortunately, herbs can be found growing in every region of the game. And while some of them can be found in the final underground area too, we recommend getting them in Wyndham Village, Slatten Dale, Casterfell Woods, and Skethermoor. Here’s where you can find them:

Location	Herb spawns
Wyndham Village	You’ll find 3-4 herbs near the military checkpoint that serves as an entrance to Skethermoor. Simply walking around town should do the trick too since some pots near houses have herbs in them. They also grow on the hill next to the entrance to Casterfell Woods.
Slatten Dale	Looking near water sources like streams and lakes will let you find herbs quickly. Head south from Wyndham Village and you’ll spot some herbs near a stream. While Outlaw patrols pose a threat here, backing off will usually prevent combat encounters.
Casterfell Woods	While it’s harder to find herbs here, you can still find them near water bodies. We also found some at the fences near the Wyndham Village entrance.
Skethermoor	Locations that can spawn herbs here include the hills around the Skethermoor Prison, the Ruined Hamlet, and the marshes around water bodies.

Use Herbs to craft items¶

Herbs let you create consumables like the Strange Tonic in Atomfall. You’ll find its recipe near Mother Jago’s Herbalism book at the castle to the southwest of Casterfell Woods. It’s particularly helpful in the Interchange since it offers resistance to the Infection condition. Other items that require herbs include the Antidote, Combat Stim, and Painkillers. These consumables grant Poison resistance, a melee damage buff, and damage resistance.

Since these items occupy inventory slots, keep a stockpile of herbs ready before entering dangerous areas like Skethermoor Prison. Herb locations reset after some time in-game so you can head back to grab more of them to brew potions. That covers how you can get your hands on some herbs in Atomfall.
