Also the number that can be made by Strine from mandrake roots. You can buy 5 during the game: Grindstone - Jenn West Cotra - Potionary Store Tower Colony - Oliver Patrick's Tower - Julz Dharmon - Oliver There are 4 as rewards from quest: Castle - Ghall-Ihrno - comfort gives 2 wisdom crystals Blosk - Mayor - slaying enraged wrymkin gives knowledge brew Fort Remote - alchemist - ingredrient quests gives knowledge brew and other potions for 2 graymold, 1 mandrake, and eyestalks There are 24 and 1 knowledge elixir (4 points) for usually killing monsters that guard them: Nephil Lands- under checkpoint past fire lizards (need high nature lore to get it without a fight) Slime Tunnels - lower level Haunted Mines - lower level (need piercing crystal) Motrax's Cave - lower level Eastern Gallery - Swamplouse Mertis Spiral - upper level (need piercing crystal) Honeycomb - lower level behind dispel barrier spell barrier Camp Samuels - lower level after golem Great Cave - southeast corner after fighting Aranea Stoneseer Great Cave - lower level area with Abisythe behind icy crystalmists Great Cave - south wall after Dripfang and terror wolves Slith Lands - cultist area northwest part of the city Scree Caves - dragon's hoard Blosk - upper level enraged wrymkin Great Cave - east of Dharmon lower level in mine with crystal basilisk Western Wastes - third map section past Fort Remote beyond gazer guarded bridge and difficulty 40 door Basalt Tower - near gate Basalt Tower - lower level south west corner in crystal workers area Spire - northside with Kring and bandits Abyss - Test #6 reward Harston - lower level - with Cryos demon (need dispel barrier) Giant Warren - lower level treasure chamber Khoth's Ruins - lower level west side Knowledge Elixir (need dispel barrier) Dark Lands - center of map section near wrymkin Erika's Ruins - upper level lich There are 4 that are cached and require a nature lore somewhere between 4 and 12 to find: Great Cave - lower level area with Abisythe behind icy crystalmists Great Cave - below Patrick's Tower tunnels after fighting sparklingmists Patrick's Tower - lower level holding cell with gazer (need dispel barrier) Great Cave - lower level chitrach tunnels northwest of Castle Great Cave - beyond the mage guarding Daggerfall mine west of Dharmon There are 4 marked NY (not yours) that you can steal if you close the door: Almaria - lower level past golem Fissure Inn -upper level guest room Gnass - lower level guarded by hellhound Fort Remote - room Mandrake roots are the hardest to find ingredient of the five needed for knowledge brews. Nature lore 3 will get 16 and nature lore 12 will get 37. The mandrake and graymold in the Basalt Fortress is only accessible from caches after the terror wolves are released and not available later on in the game. Out of the mandrake obtained one is used for the Fort Remote quest as a good use to reward. I used in Bargha some to buy Answering Gloves and Magus Vest. There is one mandrake root south of Erika's Ruins so you will have to go back later to use it. To get nature lore 12 for a singleton: buy 2 levels in Fort Duvno from Walner, 1 level as quest reward in Fort Dranlon, and spend 26 skill points in training for 7 levels. With the Explorer's ring from Eye Krotus you have 12 levels. If you have nature lore 14 there is one more mandrake root northeast of the Tower Colony. If you have nature lore 15 there is a wisdom crystal in the Giant Lands cached in the passage north of the stairs leading to the giant intelligent friendly talking spiders. There is another mandrake root in the Sliths Lands southeast of the altar (need nature lore between 13-15). Another is Scree Caves going east from Fort Saffron's north gate. In the final part of the game, in the north part of the Dark Lands, the Giant's have a camp. There is one wisdom crystal in the center. Then cached are a wisdom crystal and a mandrake root. At this point they aren't much help. Then in the final keep's upper level, 2 more wisdom crystals and a mnadrake root for those that need a few more skill points.
