Collect Ingredients for the Tonic of Ratatosk

 

     To brew the Tonic of Ratatosk, you’ll need to gather several ingredients scattered across various biomes. Here’s what you need to find:

 

     - Honey: Harvest honey from beehives at your base. If you don’t have beehives, create them by using Queen Bees and wood. Bees will produce honey over time.

 

      

     - Blueberries: Found in the Black Forest biome. These blue, juicy berries grow on bushes and are easy to spot in the dense woods.

 

      

     - Cured Squirrel Hamstring: It is dropped by Bog Witch, you can purchase it for 80 Coins for 5 pieces.

 

    

 

Craft a Cauldron and Fermenter

 

     Before brewing the Tonic of Ratatosk, make sure you have both a cauldron and a fermenter ready at your base.

 

     - Cauldron: Craft a cauldron using 10 Tin, found near rivers and lakes in the Black Forest biome. Place it over a fire to start brewing.

 

     - Fermenter: Build a fermenter using 30 Fine Wood (from birch or oak trees in the Meadows), 10 Bronze (made by combining Copper and Tin), and 5 Resin (dropped by Greydwarfs). Set up the fermenter in a dry spot at your base, sheltered from rain.

 

    

 

Brewing the Mead Base

 

     Once you have your ingredients and equipment ready, it’s time to start brewing.

 

     1. Go to the Cauldron: Approach the cauldron at your base and select the Mead Base: Ratatosk recipe.

 

     2. Add Ingredients: Place 10 Honey, 10 Blueberries, and 1 Cured Squirrel Hamstring into the cauldron.

 

     3. Brew the Base: Let the ingredients simmer until the mead base is ready. This process will take a few moments.

 

 

Ferment the Mead Base

 

     After brewing the mead base, you’ll need to transfer it to the fermenter to complete the process.

 

     1. Transfer to Fermenter: Take the brewed Mead Base: Ratatosk and place it in the fermenter.

 

     2. Wait Two In-Game Days: The fermentation process takes two in-game days, so be patient. You’ll receive six bottles of Tonic of Ratatosk when it’s finished.

     Once the tonic is brewed, you’re ready to experience the speed boost it offers. Drinking the Tonic of Ratatosk increases your walking and running speed by 15%, and your swimming speed by 7.5% for 10 minutes. This boost is perfect when you need to escape enemies, dodge attacks, or travel across large distances quickly.
