- Hearst Industries in Broken Delta
- Sutherland Chemical Plant in Broken Delta
- Greywater Industrial Zone, Iron River
Smelting all the charcoal, ore, and ingots needed to craft a worthy base along with enough armour, weapons, and ammo to fight off zombies and other supernatural monstrosities takes time. In comes the Flame Essence deviant. Other than its chirpy, frog-like demeanor, the it offers a welcome increase to the production efficiency of both the Furnace and Electric Furnace, drastically improving output.
As with most deviants in Once Human, finding one out in the wild is like scouring for a needle in a haystack. We’ll walk you through two locations where you can find a Flame Essence, both of which are in early-game-ish areas so available to even players just starting out on their survival adventure.
Flame Essence location 1 – Hearst Industries, Broken Delta
You can find Flame Essence in Hearst Industries in Broken Delta. The settlement is located in the northeast of the region, immediately south of Deadsville. Aim for the northern part of the factory specifically the barn building with the Hearst logo stamped on the front with a metal chimney on top. Head inside through the front, go past the tank train to the back. The Flame Essence is found near the end of the longest piece of track on the right.
Flame Essence location 2 – Sunderland Chemical Plant, Broken Delta
You can find a second Flame Essence in the Sutherland Chemical Plant in the Broken Delta. The plant is northwest of Meyer’s Market, north of Sunbury, and southeast of the Gaia Cliff Monolith. Head for the northern part of the settlement, specifically the road that cuts through from east to west.
Follow the rode west and you’ll see a conveyor belt near some tanks and pipes on your left. Hop onto the conveyor belt and follow them until you come to a entrance on the second floor of a warehouse. The deviant is floating about near the entrance where the conveyor belt ends.
Flame Essence location 2 – Greywater Industrial Zone, Iron River
You’ll find another Flame Essence in the Greywater Industrial Zone in the Iron River Region. It’s located northwest of the Greywater Camp hub. The deviant is found near the river’s edge. If you enter the settlement from the east, follow the road west over a bridge, then take a sharp right before the large interior area. The Flame Essence spawns above a set of three pipes and two metal gangways built on the water.
If the Flame Essence fails to pop up in any of these three locations it’s likely that it was picked up by another player not long ago and has yet to respawn. Swap worlds at the nearest Teleportation tower, grab the deviant, then head back to your home world.
