Heartopia wild vegetable locations: Where to harvest tall mustard, fiddleheads, burdock, and mustard greens
While foraging isn’t directly related to any of Heartopia‘s numerous hobbies, it’s still a crucial activity if you want to experience everything the game has to offer, particularly when it comes to cooking up every recipe. While you’ll be cultivating many fruits and vegetables in your garden at home, there are plenty of them that are actually exclusive to foraging, and so far the only way to obtain mushrooms is by picking them out in the wild.
Dreamlight Cinematics Festival, the game’s second major content season since its global launch back in early January, is the first time new harvestable plants have been added to Heartopia’s map. Every outer biome now has its own variety of wild vegetable for you to gather, and they come in handy when cooking up the celtuce tacos that make up a good chunk of the season’s new cooking recipes. Read on for how to find tall mustard, fiddleheads (a.k.a. bracken), burdock, and more in Heartopia.
Heartopia wild vegetable locations
There are four varieties of wild vegetables available in Heartopia as part of the Dreamlight Cinematics Festival season – tall mustard, fiddlehead, burdock, and mustard greens. As with many Heartopia collectibles, these map neatly onto the four distinct regions of the outer map, with one wild vegetable native to each area.
Each wild vegetable is also used to cook one of the four celtuce taco varieties you can cook during the festival, although confusingly, their names (bracken, garlic mustard, burdock, and mustard green) don’t always directly correlate to their ingredients – so we’ll explain here which harvestable you need for which recipe, too.
