Cooking and Farming go hand-in-hand, as planting seeds and harvesting the crops allows players to use the fresh produce to prepare delicious meals. In Aloft, many of the ingredients that can be used in Cooking are found through explorations, and after finding and harvesting the crops, they can get seeds to be planted in boxes back home.
Blueberries are one of the ingredients they can find and are easily recognizable for their blue-colored fruits dotting the bushes. This berry-tactic guide aims to help players find Blueberries and their seeds and highlight how to use them in Aloft.
How To Find And Use Blueberries In Aloft?
Exploring the floating islands offers plenty to discover, including Knowledge Stones and murals and fighting off mushroom enemies to rid the islands of corruption. At times, there are new things to learn about the corrupted islands, which they can investigate once they've destroyed the nodes before studying and restoring the island's ecosystem.
After studying and restoring the first corrupted island, we discovered Blueberry bushes, which are one of the next few ingredients they may discover during their sky-bound adventures. Known for their sweet taste and blueish hue, they can harvest these bushes to obtain Blueberries and have a chance to collect their seeds.
Much later, they will be able to find more Blueberry bushes on non-corrupted islands, which we've seen a few on an island with multiple Farming Plots. Some Blueberry bushes and a few Tomato plants were planted in these plots, which makes this island a must-visit for players in Aloft.
With Blueberries and their seeds in their Inventory, there are a few ways to utilize these items best. Blueberry Seeds can be planted within Rustic or Stone Farming Plots, but they must till the soil first with the Stone Dorkip before planting the seeds and watering them with a Leaf Bucket before the crops are ready for harvesting after some time.
Blueberries can be eaten fresh from the Inventory, which, according ot its in-game description, will grant players +2 Health Points (HP). However, it is best utilized in preparing various delicious meals, like Fruit Salad, Grilled Fruit, and a Healthy Smoothie for more HP, but also certain dishes will grant players various buffs that may aid them in a multitude of ways, like Combat.
