The Forbidden Fig is a rare, very powerful food item that also restores decay.
Obtaining[]
Loot[]
The Forbidden Fig can be found as Loot from:
- Weedwood Chests in Cragrock Towers, the Wight Fortress, and the Labyrinthine Vaults and Barrishee Lair of the Sludgeon.
- Offering Tables that sometimes generate next to Simulacra throughout The Betweenlands.
Properties[]
Consuming[]
When eaten, the Forbidden Fig restores 20 hunger, 12 saturation, 20 decay, and 4 decay saturation. However, beware, for those who eat it are also "cursed" with the 
Blindness II and 
Weakness II effects for 1 minute each. The message "Cursed are those who eat the Forbidden Fig!" will appear above the hotbar upon eating the Forbidden Fig, accompanied by an ominous noise.
Food Sickness[]
Like most other foods, the Forbidden Fig has a food sickness value between 0 and 180, initially at 0, that increases by 5 points each time it is eaten in the Betweenlands. The food's sickness value is represented by three tooltips for each stage, stating "Tastes good" between 0 and 49 food sickness points, diminishing to "Tastes plain" between 50 and 109 points, and then to "Can't eat this anymore" between 110 and 180 points. At 110 food sickness points or above, a Forbidden Fig only restores 6 hunger (
) when eaten, a third of the original hunger value (rounded down).
Food sickness can be counteracted by eating a different type of sickness-affected food that has less than 110 food sickness points, each deducting 3 points (4 if the new food is at or below 10 points) from every other food item. It can also be counteracted by eating Chiromaw Wings or drinking Witch Tea, which both reset all other food sickness values to 0 - though Chiromaw Wings will then become sickening to eat themselves.
