Blue Nightshade Uses

Blue Nightshade can be very useful as it improves your stealth ability. Apart from that, players can also use Blue Nightshade to upgrade the Stealth Armor Set. However, the use of Blue Nightshade doesn’t end here. Blue Nightshade can be used for the following purposes in the game:

1. Cooking
2. Armor Upgrades
3. Weapon Fusion
4. Side Quest Completion

Cooking

Use Blue Nightshade as an ingredient to prepare dishes that enhance stealth for a specific duration. For instance, combining five Blue Nightshades creates a dish that grants 10 minutes of improved stealth. You can also combine Blue Nightshade with other ingredients possessing stealth effects, such as Silent Princess or Sneaky River Snail.

Armor Upgrades

Enhance the Stealth armor set using Blue Nightshade at the Great Fairy Fountains. The first upgrade requires three Blue Nightshades per piece, while the second requires five Blue Nightshades. Wearing the upgraded Stealth set enhances your stealth and movement speed during nighttime.

Weapon Fusion

Fuse Blue Nightshade with weapons, arrows, or shields. When fused with a weapon, it adds one point of attack power, increasing its damage output. Fusing Blue Nightshade with arrows or shields does not have any known effects.

Side Quest Completion

Use Blue Nightshade to fulfill the requirements of the side quest “A Gift of Nightshade,” involving the presentation of a Blue Nightshade to a woman named Prima at Lover’s Pond. Completing this quest rewards you with 100 rupees and a silver rupee.
