How Grasses Work

• Use a grass or seed item to apply the item's effect to Shiren.
  • In addition, all grass and seed items replenish 5 fullness.
• Throw a grass or seed item at a creature to apply the item's effect to that creature.

Locations Key

Weeds

No effect when eaten, other than restoring 5 fullness like all other grass items.

allies getting hit by Swordsman special attacks, or from a Secret Pot after 8 days pass.

Synthesize with a weapon to create the Anti-Plant rune.

Locations:

Herb

Restores 25 HP, or increases max HP by 1 if already at max.
It's best to wait until your HP is full to increase max HP early ~ mid game,
but it's fine to use it right away late game, since you don't have time to step in place.

An Herb is placed where a New Item would've been generated when
you don't have any New Items registered to your encyclopedia.

Synthesize with a weapon or shield to create the Lively rune.

Locations:

Fine Grass

No effect when eaten, other than restoring 5 fullness like all other grass items.

Locations:

Antidote Grass

Heal Grass

Restores 200 HP and cures Confused, Blind, and Slow statuses.

Locations:

Upgrade Seed

Grants Tinkerer status for 100 turns. (Skill points from monsters is multiplied by 4)
Tinkerer status remains active until you change floors if it was blessed.
It's best to save it for floors where high skill point monsters like Dagger Bee appear,
and try to bless it before using it, especially in Pitfall of Life.

Synthesize this + Oil Scroll + Explosion Bracelet with a sword for the Blue Flame rune.

Useful for unequipping cursed items. No effect on characters other than Shiren.

Locations:

Life Grass

Increases max HP by 4. The +20 max HP from Energizing is fantastic for Pitfall of Life in particular,
but it's also a strong option when you have a shield with Bit.
However, it can lead to disappointment if you synthesized thinking it was
Dragon Grass or Sleepy Grass, and didn't have many open rune slots.

Synthesize with a weapon or shield to create the Energizing rune.

Locations:

• Dropped by FO-Uβ / εFO-Uβ

Strength Grass

Restores 1 strength, or increases max strength by 1 if already at max.
Increasing strength raises the power of not only direct attacks, but also ranged attacks,
so always wait until your strength is at max before using this grass.

if you've only lost 1 strength.

• Dropped by FO-UZ / εFO-UZ

Dragon Grass

Makes you breathe a flame that travels in a straight line ahead of you.

Synthesize with a shield to create the Anti-Fire rune.

Locations:

Sleepy Grass

Inflicts Asleep status for 6 turns when used or thrown. (12 turns if blessed)
The Sedating rune is tied with Apathetic for being the best status inflicting rune,
so this grass should be saved for synthesis.
Occasionally dropped by Dozikon.

Synthesize with a weapon to create the Sedating rune.

Locations:

Rage Grass

Inflicts Berserk status for 30 turns when used or thrown. (60 turns if blessed)
This grass is the main reason why you shouldn't use unidentified 500G grass items,
especially at night or when a shop is present on the floor.
Grass Kid monsters in Lost Well have a higher chance of carrying this grass.

Locations:

Dracon Grass

Grants Cannon Arm status for the duration of the floor when used or thrown.
Can potentially be useful, but it's easy to forget about it and lose important items.
Be careful around Swordsman family monsters when you have Cannon Arm status,
since any items they disarm will be lost.

Locations:

Revival Grass

Automatically revives you if it's in your inventory, and then turns into Weeds.
Reviving fully restores HP, strength, fullness, and removes ailments.
Unlike previous games, it activates even if the item is inside a pot.
Revival Grass gets automatically identified after an unidentified one activates.
Blessed Revival Grass can be reused 1 time.

Don't assume that a 1000G grass is Revival Grass, since it could be Gut Grass.

Locations:

• Tanuki Password: I Love Zombies!
• Dropped by FO-UZZ / εFO-UZZ

Gut Grass

Automatically revives you if it's in your inventory, but then you collapse again.
This silly demise gets recorded in your Adventure Footprints.
If you're rescued after it activates, you'll see that it turned into Weeds.

It must be quite potent, considering Shiren is fine eating rotten onigiri and peaches.

Locations:

Undo Grass

Select to either revive or escape with your items if you collapse while carrying it,
and turns into Weeds afterward. (Blessed Undo Grass can be reused 1 time)
Reviving fully restores HP, strength, fullness, and removes ailments.
Activates even if it's inside a pot, and has higher priority than Revival Grass.

Eating it gives you the option to escape from the dungeon with your items,
so it's basically a combination of Revival Grass and Escape Scroll.

Locations:

• Tanuki Password: Lost and Found

Repeat Grass

Select to either revive or escape with your items if you collapse while carrying it,
but neither option actually works, so your adventure ends.
This silly demise gets recorded in your Adventure Footprints.
If you're rescued after it activates, you'll see that it turned into Weeds.
Has higher priority than Gut Grass.

Locations:

Invincible Grass

Grants Invincible status for 20 turns. (40 turns if blessed)
Fantastic if you're surrounded or when you're facing high power monsters.
However, you're not immune to ailments, and it can be absorbed by Absorbiphants.
Can be used to safely have Floaty monsters perform their floor warp special attack.

It's obtainable in Explosion Rocks, so it's possible to stock up on Invincible Grass
for the main story bosses if you're struggling to defeat them.

Locations:

Cheery Grass

Increases level by 1. (2 if blessed)
Unlike Glorious Staff and Glorious Talisman, it's not based on experience points.

Effect can be nullified by a Staunch Bracelet.

Synthesize with a weapon or shield to create the Stupefying rune.

Locations:

Amnesia Grass

Makes you forget all of the items you've identified during the current adventure.
This effect is undoubtedly bad, but it has a low chance of being generated
and can only be found in the shop table of 2 dungeons in the base game.
If you're truly worried, you could take notes as you play, but it's a bit overkill.
Inflicts Apathetic status for 6 turns when thrown at an enemy.

Locations:

Imabikiso

All inventory items become cursed or sealed when used.
Inflicts Sealed status if thrown at an enemy.
If thrown at a Curse Girl family monster, they will level up instead.
Useful if you have a Mojo Bracelet, but otherwise it's an extremely dangerous item.

Locations:

Angel Seed

Increases level by 3. (6 if blessed)
Useful for leveling up ally characters.
It's best to duplicate them using Fever Pots, and then create New Items out of them.
You could also synthesize it to increase your weapon or shield's base stat by 8.
Madam Ateska can force it to appear on the ground in select dungeons.

Synthesize with a weapon or shield to create the Augmenting rune.

Locations:

• Madam Ateska: Super Good fortune

However, eating grass replenishes 5 fullness, so you won't collapse right away.
Be mindful that items dropped by night monsters are selected from the shop table.
It's a disasterous item, but the effect can be nullified by a Staunch Bracelet.

Synthesize with a weapon or shield to create the Perilous rune.
