Whether you are trying to power up the Data Store Alpha, exploring Skethermoor, or delving in the undergrounds of the Casterfell Woods, you must know how to survive the blue infection in Atomfall.
As you explore the different regions in Atomfall and the areas within The Interchange, you will come across blue plants and mists that deal some serious infection damage.
The blue infection does not only double your heart rate but also lowers your HP to the bare minimum while also stopping it from recovering.
Unless the effects wear off.
You must survive the blue infection to power up the Data Store Alpha and explore the different key areas in the game.
So, with that said, here’s my guide on how to not take damage from blue plants and mists in Atomfall.
How to survive the blue infection in Atomfall
You can survive the blue mist and the infection in the game using the Strange Tonic.
For those of you who don’t know, the Strange Tonic is a consumable item in Atomfall.
You can consume it to get an Infection Resistance buff.
It also reduces the Infection build-up and the damage you take from infection-causing hazards, like those exploding plants.
Where to find the Strange Tonic Recipe in Atomfall
You can find the Strange Tonic recipe in the lower levels of the Castle Ruins POI in the Casterfell Woods.
If you don’t know how to reach Casterfell Woods, check out my guide on Concrete Bunker and Sewer Tunnel Key locations.
It also covers how you can reach Casterfell Woods early.
Once you are inside the Castle Ruins, follow the straight path.
Stick to the left side and keep moving.
[You need the Caslte Key found inside one of the rooms on the left.]
There are a few Druids whom you can take out without getting noticed.
You will find the Castle Key on top of a cupboard with a burning candle, as you can see in the above screenshot.
Once you have the Castle Key on you, make your way to the main hall and take out the three Druids.
Go near the fireplace.
Right to it, on the wall, you will find Hidden Keyhole.
Use the Castle Key to open the secret passage.
Right past it, you will find an area with an opening on the roof with sunlight coming in.
There’s a room on the right side.
That is where you must go.
But before that, take out the nearby Druids.
Inside the room, you will find the Strange Tonic Recipe on the table.
Learn it!
Here’s a video guide from me showing the Caslte Key and the Strange Tonic locations:
How to craft the Strange Tonic in Atomfall
Assuming you have followed the guide so far and have learned the Strange Tonic recipe, head to the Crafting menu.
Select Strange Tonic.
Craft one using the following items:
- Spores x4
- Chemicals x1
- Glass x3
- Herbs x5
Where to get Spores in Atomfall
You can barter Spores from Mother Jago at the Mine Ruins location that I have highlighted in the above screenshot.
Talk to her and select the Barter option.
She sells 10 Spores that you can easily get if you have Antidotes on you.
Antidoes are her favorite item for barter.
If you don’t have any or can’t craft, just give her random items and get some Spores.
Where to get Blue Herbs in Atomfall
Blue Herbs grow in the different regions found within the quarantine zone.
You can find some at the above marked locations in Slatten Dale.
Collect them.
Casterfell Woods
The Blue Herbs are also very common in the Casterfell Woods region.
You can find them around the region.
