How To Find And Use Chicory In Sons Of The Forest

Sons of the Forest has a bustling biome of unique flowers, plants, and fruits that can satisfy your hunger, especially when you don’t have food nearby. Chicory is one of these plants that has an added benefit when combined with other plants to make health packs that can replenish your stats when they’re low.

Whether eaten naturally or mixed with other plants, Chicory should be a plant every player must look for, but where can you find them? So, we've detailed in this guide how to get all the endings and what they mean in Sons of the Forest.

How To Get Chicory In Sons Of The Forest?

Chicory is a herbaceous plant with white petals, green leaves, and stems that can grow in specific areas of the island map. This plant is safe for consumption and can be grown in a planter if you gain seeds from harvesting the plant.

Finding the chicory plant will have you traveling to the island's southwest side and locating the waterfall coffins to begin your search. Be careful, as there is a cannibal camp nearby, which you can attempt to raid for valuable resources, including the skin pouches.

Once you’ve reached the bottom of the waterfalls, search the area nearby until you’ve spotted the chicory plant, which you can harvest and find some seeds if you’re lucky enough. Additionally, you can find some blueberry plants in this area, which should give some health and energy once eaten.

It’s also been reported that some chicory plants spawn nearby the large cannibal camp on the northern side. It’s relatively close to the underground hotel bunker cave entrance, which you can use as a reference point.

As previously mentioned, Chicory is a plant that can be used for making consumable items, but you can directly chew the petals and the leaves. If you collect enough seeds, these can be planted in your standing or wall planter to grow more Chicory which is more efficient than having to farm them at their spawn locations.

More importantly, Chicory is one of the essential items required to make the Energy Mix, and eating this will give your character more energy to perform various tasks. You’ll need Arrowleaf and combine the items from the inventory’s crafting mat to make this consumable item.

You can also make the Energy Mix+, which gives you more energy than the Energy Mix once made. Mix Chicory, Fireweed, and Devil’s Club at the crafting mat to produce as many of these packs as possible with the number of resources available.

And that completes this guide on finding Chicory in Sons of the Forest, and we want to thank the YouTube channel WoW Quests for its complete walkthrough. Please consider subscribing to their channel and watching the video below for more details.
