How to loot Enchanting Lotus in Where Winds Meet

Early on during the Begin the Journey quest in Where Winds Meet, you’ll walk through a bamboo forest accompanied by your chatty companion Ruby as you head home. After leaping across the bridge after the Bamboo Retreat, the keen-eyed among you will spot a purple flower, dubbed an Enchanting Lotus, on the right of the path, emitting a purple miasma. 

Approach and you’ll pick up an affliction that slowly depletes your health. Ruby suggests there’s more to the flower than meets the eye, and your video game sense will likely be barking the same. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to loot the miasmic Enchanting Lotus flowers in Where Winds Meet.

How to loot Enchanting Lotus in Where Winds Meet

To disarm and loot the Enchanting Lotus, you’ll need to attack and kill the butterflies fluttering near the plant. To do this, you can use a bow or any melee weapon. Approach and give them a good whack or two to kill them. Sometimes, you’ll need to hit multiple groups of butterflies, but they are generally easy to track and tend to fly very close to the flower.

Once you’ve defeated the butterflies, head back to the Enchanting Lotus. You’ll find that it’s no longer spewing toxic misma, and getting near it won’t cause you to get an affliction any longer. You can now approach and loot the small mound of rewards at the foot of the plant safely, which usually includes Enchanting Lotus life material and some currency.

You’ll find other Enchanting Lotus flowers throughout the Verdant Wilds and beyond. They are technically considered Oddities, which you can use to upgrade the Melodies of Peace,  specifically the Harmony tree. This allows you to unlock a wide range of buffs, including boosts to damage, Inner Way passives, and even Bronze Bell Fragments.
