Guides/Nightmare Fuel Farming

Edited by Alchemist Endrew and various wikia contributors.

Nightmare Fuel is a very important resource in game. It is therefore important to have a lot of it, since the equipment made with nightmare fuel can be life-saving

Insanity
The first Nightmare Fuel is gotten by becoming insane or digging up graves. There are two ways to do this using insanity. One, the player can go totally insane and kill hostile Hallucinations, or can go partially insane (below 80 points) and kill Beardlings (Rabbits when Sanity is low). The player can accomplish this by gathering large amounts of rabbits and then dropping sanity just below 80, for example with the help of Green Mushrooms. (for fruther details visit the Mushroom Guide respectively the "Tips and Hints" section) Notice: Beardlords(Bunnymen when on low sanity) will not drop nightmare fuel.

Dark Petal Farming
Once the player has built a Prestihatitator or has accumulated enough Nightmare Fuel via the method above to create a Shadow Manipulator, the player can craft Dark Petals gotten by picking Evil Flowers into more Nightmare Fuel. The player can accomplish this by first finding a Teleportato piece that is not the Metal Potato Thing. Pick all normal Flowers. Next, capture a stack of bees using a Bug Net, making sure that their hive/box is either destroyed or too far away. Put down the bees next to the evil flowers and run (the bees will be hostile to the player that placed them. When you come back, the bees will be pollinating the evil flowers. Note: Make sure you know which evil flowers are never picked, so you don't accidentally ruin your farm.

Nightmare Amulet
The Nightmare Amulet is a fantastic way to farm nightmares due to its ability to induce total insanity. Just grab a bunch of rabbits, wear the amulet, and safely gather nightmare fuel with only a little sanity lost.

Make sure to follow these rules to get lots of Nightmares!
