Looking for Nuggets in Forspoken to complete your upgrades? This guide can show you where to find them.
Quick Links
Increasing your Medicine Pouch capacity in Forspoken is essential for Frey to consume more Healing Draughts in order to survive in Athia. To do that, you will need to find an item called Nuggets and use the Work Bench you unlock to upgrade your medicine carrying limit.
Feathers and Nuggets are among the early rare resources required in Forspoken. These two crafting materials are not as easy to find as some of the others, but the upgrades they give will allow you to have some more utility to survive or make use of your travels in the dangerous Athia.
Finding Nuggets
To first upgrade your pouch, you will need to access the Work Bench in the city of Cipal’s Pilgram Refuge. The Work Bench will give you the option to add Healing Draught slots and craft at all.
There are two main ways to get Nuggets in the world of Athia. The first and most reliable way is to take on side quests called Detours. You can always access these Detours by talking to NPCs in Cipal. The rewards you receive for completing them will be crafting materials like Nuggets. Plus, going to add the Detours to your quest log is available in the game to take a break from grinding EXP or progressing through the story in the open world. Unlike the other method of finding Nuggets, you don’t have to search or wander around the map to make sure you are working towards getting the item.
Opening every treasure chest you can find is the other way you can get Nuggets. To help your search in the long term, you might want to focus on mastering the parkour and movement abilities Forspoken has to offer. Another strategy is to spend some mana by pressing down on the D-pad (on PS5) to activate Cuff-Scanning to detect nearby items like treasure chests through their specific icon.
Chests that are more likely to have Nuggets you want to grab will be behind optional bosses called Mutants. The test of skill and survival may be challenging with these enemies, but you can collect more of this crafting item at once for your troubles.
What Are Nuggets Used For?
Keeping Healing Draughts on Frey will allow you to especially withstand some of the more challenging parts of Athia’s enormous open world or Labyrinth mini-dungeons. If you temporarily lose the ability to block, or you make a dodging mistake or two in longer fights, having some potions to pop will likely be just what you need to have Frey sustain the encounter. Being able to hold more Healing Draughts will also help the natural progression you get from increasing your maximum health.
Having the storage capacity to better heal yourself comes in handy after Cuff’s Last-Chance Block ability. You get one more time to heal up after taking an attack that would have reduced Frey’s health to zero. Cuff will need some time to restore the block gauge, so restoring your health before taking one last lethal hit is vital in the meantime.
