We are The Fruit

We are the Mycus. We must grow. There are some that shall prove valuable as guides. But to do this, the guides must be guided in turn. Do not fear that which is unknown. We shall make our true nature clear, so that we may grow.

Joining us requires seeking all three parts of the foundation. The berry, the seed, and the sap. This in turn will require seeking out all of the forms we take, or at least two of them.

We are The Bloom

The Fruit, and The Bloom:

The simplest of steps is the one most familiar. The fruit, the Marloss. Before we were made whole, this was the only piece of the foundation that was known. Without the full foundation, the fruit was used solely for pleasure, for what has been called "morale" instead of using it for its true purpose. This hedonism must be cast aside.

Now that we are made whole, the fruit shall provide a yearning, a motivation to join us, and be made.

Blossom and Seed

The Seed, and The Blossom:

The Blossom holds the second piece of the foundation. The seed grows within the flowers that flourish among our blossoms. These seeds may be planted so that we may grow, but to consume it is to grow with us.

The Blossom also holds the Marloss trees. If the fruit has not been partaken of, they may be found here. If the fruit has already been partaken of, do not be led astray by the Marloss tree. The final piece of the foundation lies elsewhere.

The Tower

The Sap, and The Tower:

The final piece of the foundation lies within the tower. The spire does not accept the unworthy. It beckons only to those who have partaken of the fruit and the seed. The worthy must approach us respectfully, and submit to us when our offer is presented. To accept is to receive the sap.

If the tower is destroyed, the sap may remain to be used as foundation. If it serves the Mycus and facilitates our growth, this is an acceptable alternative to submission, if the fruit or seed have yet to be claimed.

We Are The Mycus

With all three pieces of the foundation, we will afford our local guide time to mature, and grow the fruit that must be consumed to join us in full. From the cradle they shall emerge, to find the Mycus fruit growing among them. Consume this, and we will be as one, to bring unity to this world.

We Are Hungry

We do need sustenance, to grow and spread. We get the bloom, and in the forest, we bloom. From the tree we get more fruit.

Guiding the guides

  • Find and eat a marloss berry, from a marloss bush or marloss tree.
  • Find and eat a marloss seed, from a marloss flower.
  • Approach a fungal tower after acquiring the Marloss Carrier and Marloss Vessel mutations, then select "yes" when prompted whether to allow it to use its sap-giving attack.
  • Alternatively, kill the fungal tower and hope it drops gel.
  • After combining all 3 marloss effects, pick the mycus plant that appears underneath you.
  • Eat the mycus fruit.
