Warner Bros, Portkey Games, and Avalanche Software have tapped into the popular Wizarding World universe with Hogwart's Legacy, letting players live out their fantasies has a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Taking place in the 19th century, long before the events involving iconic characters like Voldemort and Harry Potter, players take on the role of a fifth year student at Hogwarts, learning spells, attending classes, and exploring locations like the Forbidden Forest, Hogsmeade, and other popular locations.
In addition to being a single player experience, Hogwarts Legacy leans heavily into RPG mechanics including heavy character customization, level and spell progression, and grow relationships with other NPC characters wandering the world. Crafting and potion brewing are another major element to the core gameplay loop and requires that characters have the correct amount of resources needed.
While some items can be found easily enough by discovery or as rewards, some are much rarer and will likely take Hogwarts Legacy players a bit longer to track down. One important resource is the Shrivelfig Fruit, though it can make some really important and powerful items, so here are the best ways to track it down.
What Does Shrivelfig Fruit Do?
Shrivelfig Fruit is an ingredient that is used when brewing potions. Specifically, it is a core element to Thunderbrew Potions, which can be really helpful in combat as they stun and damage enemies who get too close. In order to craft Thunderbrew, players will need one of each:
- Shrivelfig Fruit
- Leech Juice
- Stench of the Dead
Where to Find Shrivelfig Fruit and Seeds
Thankfully, there are three specific ways to obtain Shrivelfig Fruit and two of them are going to be a bit costly up front. Players will likely first come into contact with Shrivelfig Fruit through Professor Sharp and his assignments. Specifically, he'll ask students to make Thunderbrew while rewarding players with the Diffindo spell, a combat specific spell that slashes and rips though it does come with a long cooldown.
Purchase Shrivelfig Fruit
One the western side of Hogsmeade, players can find a store named The Magic Neep. In here, players can purchase Shrivelfig fruit for 150 Galleons each or 450 per seed. While this may be the quickest way to find the resource, it quickly becomes expensive.
Plant Shrivelfig Seeds
For those looking for something a bit more sustainable, they can start planting Shrivelfig seeds inside the Room of Requirement, giving them access to a constant supply. However, the upfront cost of doing this is higher, as Shrivelfig Seeds can only be planted in a medium or large size pot, access to the Room of Requirement, as well as the conjuration spellcraft for the potting table. The pots themselves can be purchased at Tomes and Scrolls in Hogsmeade. Once planted the Shrivelfig seeds take about 12 minutes to grow.
Discover Shrivelfig Fruit
Finally, thew low cost method of finding Shrivelfig is by simply finding it out in the world of Hogwart's Legacy inside of chests. Unfortunately, this is completely random as there is no set location so while players will save money through this method, it could take substantially longer.
Hogwarts Legacy is available now on PS5, Xbox Series S|X, and PC. PS4, Xbox One, and Switch versions are currently in development.
