If you’ve reached the swamp biome in Windrose, you will find some rare materials that aren’t easy to find. Two of the most useful ones are Tear of Sorrow and Mysterious Spice, both of which are important for crafting and cooking. These items can help you stay alive longer in fights and prepare better food for your journey. In this guide, we will tell you how to find them and what you can use them for.
How to Get Tear of Sorrow & Mysterious Spice
In order to collect the Tear of Sorrow & Mysterious Spice, you should find the swamp biome first. However, at this point, the swamp is not immediately accessible. You should make sure that you have made enough progress in the game to be able to access it. Afterwards, start exploring the swamp biome by looking into various points of interest, particularly the infected areas.
Once inside the swamp, search for the Infected Witch monster. This enemy is a bit tough to deal with because it can summon other creatures to fight alongside it, so be prepared before you fight. Upon defeating the Infected Witch, it may drop the Tear of Sorrow & Mysterious Spice. It is worth noting that other rare monsters in the swamp biome can also drop the same loot occasionally.
How to Use Tear of Sorrow & Mysterious Spice
Tear of Sorrow is an alchemical ingredient that you’ll mainly use for crafting some of the more useful potions in the game. Once you have it, you can turn it into a Great Healing Potion, which is great for restoring your health during tough fights.
It’s also used to craft a variety of infused elixirs. These include the Infused Elixir of Concentration, Cruelty, Firm Hand, and Precision. Each of these elixirs can be crafted in batches of two, making them quite valuable when you’re preparing for combat or looking to boost your performance.
Mysterious Spice is a cooking ingredient that comes in handy when you start making better food recipes. Once you have it, you can use it to prepare dishes like Crocodile in Swamp Sauce and Gazpacho, both of which give you one serving per craft.
It’s also useful for making meals in larger batches. For example, you can cook Meaty Croc Kebab, Swamp Pie, and Tacos, and each of these recipes will give you two servings at a time. This makes Mysterious Spice a great ingredient to stock up on if you want to keep your food supply ready for longer adventures.
