Farming & Cultivation Guide
Cultivation in NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139... offers a unique way to acquire rare and valuable items, particularly the "Lunar Tear" flower, which is essential for certain story progression and side quests. The primary location for cultivation is your own small garden plot located at your house in the starting village. To begin, you'll need to acquire seeds. These can be purchased from the Grocer in your village or found in the wild. Once you have seeds, you can plant them in the tilled soil plots in your garden. The game features a day-night cycle, and crops will grow over time. Different types of seeds will yield different results. For example, planting "Tomato" seeds will eventually produce tomatoes, which can be used for cooking or sold. However, the most sought-after crops are the "Lunar Tear" seeds, which are rare and often obtained through specific quests or by finding them in hidden areas.
The key to successful cultivation lies in proper watering and fertilization. After planting your seeds, you'll need to water them regularly. The game will indicate when your plants are thirsty. Neglecting to water them will stunt their growth or even cause them to wither. Furthermore, you can use fertilizers to speed up the growth process or increase the yield of your crops. Fertilizers can be purchased from vendors or sometimes found. For instance, using a "Fertilizer" item might reduce the growth time of your crops by 25%. The most crucial aspect of growing Lunar Tears is understanding the "cross-pollination" mechanic. By planting different colored seeds adjacent to each other, you have a chance to create new hybrid seeds. For example, planting a red seed next to a yellow seed might yield a new orange seed. The Lunar Tear flower itself is a result of a specific cross-pollination, often involving planting specific colored seeds in a particular arrangement. Patience is paramount; growing Lunar Tears can take several in-game days, and you'll need to return to your garden periodically to water and harvest. Successfully cultivating these rare flowers is a testament to your dedication and will unlock sificant portions of the game's content, especially for those aiming for all endings.
