Healing Items — Fallout: New Vegas Guide
Healing items are crucial for maintaining your health in the harsh Mojave Wasteland. Beyond standard medical supplies, you can craft or find natural remedies like Xander Roots and Broc Flowers. These items, originally from Fallout 2, have been restored to the Fallout universe in New Vegas.
To gather these natural healing components, head to specific locations:
- Xander Roots: Locate three Xander Roots near the Goodsprings Schoolhouse, along the south-western edge of town, often found near a long-dead tree or stump. Be prepared to fight Giant Mantis Nymphs to collect them.
- Broc Flowers: After visiting Goodsprings Cemetery, head south-east past your grave to find a Broc Flower growing near a small, living tree.
Additionally, Ruby Nash in the casino can offer to make you "Ruby's Casserole" if you provide her with Radscorpion Poison Glands, which serve as decent food items for healing.
