Fields of Mistria Guide: How to Locate Shadow Flower

In the enchanting world of Fields of Mistria, rare forageables are a treat for those on the hunt, and one such rare find is the Shadow Flower. If you’ve accepted Celine's quest for a Shadow Flower, you might be wondering where to track down this elusive bloom. As a flower with specific growing conditions, Shadow Flower only appears in select locations, making it essential knowledge for completing the quest and advancing in the game.

Where to Find Shadow Flower

To start your search, head to the Upper Mines, a location you'll need to unlock if you haven’t already. Shadow Flower, characterized by its distinctive purple hue, can be found year-round but thrives in dark environments. The Mines provide the ideal setting for this flower. However, pinpointing its exact location can be challenging, as Shadow Flower can appear randomly throughout the Upper Mines, which include floors 0-19. Notably, you might find it on floor 6, as depicted in available images. Fortunately, you don’t need to delve too deep into the Mines; these flowers are typically found growing on the ground, so there’s no need to break rocks in your search.

As you explore more of the Mines and eventually reach the Tide Caverns, you'll encounter characters in Fields of Mistria who appreciate Shadow Flower as a gift. Be mindful of potential story spoilers when checking character preferences for gifts.

What to Do with Shadow Flower

Once you’ve secured a Shadow Flower, return to Celine to complete her Request for a Shadow Flower quest. Successfully turning in the quest will earn you a generous reward of 300 Tesserae. Additionally, Shadow Flower makes for a unique gift for several characters, including Juniper and Louis, who both have a fondness for this flower. Therefore, it’s a good idea to keep a few in your inventory for future gifting opportunities.

Alternatively, you can sell Shadow Flower in your shipping bin for 50 Tesserae each or contribute it to the Museum as part of the Upper Mines Museum Set.

While you’re exploring the Mines, keep an eye out for other valuable resources such as Upper Mines Mushrooms, Peat, and Sod. Ensure you have ample space in your backpack to make the most of your mining expeditions.
