Overview
Midnight Herb is a rare plant found throughout the Moonlit Forest. It is one of the key herbs used in high-tier cooking recipes that restore HP, making it essential for players preparing for boss fights and deeper dungeon exploration.
Midnight Herb can be gathered by hand in the Moonlit Forest or grown on farm plots using Midnight Herb Seeds. Unlike the mushroom types, Midnight Herb can sometimes be found just outside the Moonlit Forest entrance as well.
Where to Find
Midnight Herb grows in multiple zones of the Moonlit Forest, giving it wider availability than some other rare materials. Confirmed locations include:
Evernight Forest (near the entrance and along the main path)
Gate of Life area
Crystalith Hideout
Mural Valley (both upper and lower sections)
Moonlit Forest Ruins (ruins sections)
Some Midnight Herb nodes can also be found near the entrance area before fully entering the Moonlit Forest dungeon. Like other Moonlit Forest plants, nodes respawn daily. To farm it at home, process 2 Midnight Herb into seeds at the Grinder.

Tips
Midnight Herb can appear near the Moonlit Forest entrance, so check the area before you even enter the dungeon proper.
Since it grows in almost every Moonlit Forest zone, you should accumulate a healthy supply just by exploring naturally.
Pair it with Eldergrain to cook Flaming Ice Dumplings for HP restoration before tackling bosses.
The Aqua String Bracelet and Firefly Bands are wearable accessories; stockpile Midnight Herb if you want to craft them.
