Discover the locations of all Elemental Plot Expansion Items in Visions of Mana. Learn how to get Tonics from bosses and the Grizzly Exchange to unlock powerful skills.
Hey there! So, you're looking to really dive deep into the Elemental Plots in Visions of Mana, huh? It can seem a bit confusing at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's super rewarding. Let's break down where to find those crucial expansion items and how to get the most out of your Elemental Points.
When you get your hands on a Tonic, head over to the Elemental Plot board. You'll see locked columns, and selecting the first one will bring up a prompt to unlock it. The cool thing is, one Tonic unlocks that section for all classes, so no need to worry about class-specific locks. You'll naturally get the first two Tonics for each character because they're tied to story bosses. The only real snag is that sometimes there's a bit of a gap between getting the first and second Tonic, especially for the earlier characters.
Elemental Points
To actually unlock those nodes on the Elemental Plots, you'll need to collect Elemental Points. Don't stress too much about actively farming these early on, as you'll rack them up naturally. Leveling up your characters is a primary way to earn them – every level grants you some points. Another key method is finding and absorbing energy from Elementites scattered throughout the world.
Just a heads-up: you'll need the corresponding Elemental Vessel before you can actually use those Elementites. This means you might have to do some backtracking later on to grab them all. If you're ever short on Elemental Points for a specific node, don't worry! Keep an eye out for Gold Clovers. You can find these glowing items in various areas, as rewards from side quests, and even by smashing open item pots. Each Gold Clover is worth a single Elemental Point, so even if a character has zero points, they can still use these to purchase nodes.
Elementites are one source of Elemental Points.
You can also purchase nodes by using Gold Clovers that you find.
Third Elemental Plot Expansion Location
Alright, for the third and final Elemental Plot expansion item, it's a bit different. You won't get this from a boss or find it just exploring. You'll actually need to finish the main story first. Once you've done that and entered the post-game, you'll unlock some new stuff, including a superboss and extra equipment. If you visit any Dudbear Grizzly Exchange that requires Grizzly Syrups, you'll find new inventory. Among these new items are the Tonics needed to unlock the last set of skills on the Elemental Plots. They'll set you back 20 Grizzly Syrups each.
Elemental Plot Expansion Item Locations
Here's a rundown of all the bosses that drop these crucial Expansion items. You'll usually get the first one as you progress the main story, and the second set typically appears around Chapter 7. Fun fact: you actually snag Julei’s first Tonic before he even joins your party!

Each character has their own specific Tonic for expanding the Elemental Plot.
There are also three trophies or achievements tied to the Elemental Plot. The first one pops after your very first expansion, which happens when you use the initial Soul Guard Tonic. The second achievement is for fully expanding the Elemental Plot, meaning you'll need to buy one from the Grizzly Exchange. Lastly, the final trophy is for maxing out one class's Elemental Plot entirely, which requires a hefty 500 Elemental Points.
