Medicinal Plants in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

This article contains information about medicinal plants in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Those plants can be collected in the battlefield. They are different from the medicinal plants in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, they are not use to heal wounds. Those plants were the raw materials to craft a variety of usable items in Mother Base.

African Peach
African Peach is located exclusively in Angola, where you will recognize it by the big, red, round flowers. It’s good for sleeping gas.

Black Carrot
This is necessary for the bait bottle. You can find the Black Carrot, with white flowers growing in clusters, in both Afghanistan and Angola.

Digitalis Lutea
The only aesthetical difference with Digitalis Purpurea is the color of flowers (yellow). Digitalis Lutea is good for making tranquilizer darts, develop and use sleeping gas grenades.

Digitalis Purpurea
Digitalis Purpurea is great for making tranquilizer rounds more powerful and sleeping gas mines. You will find it only in Angola, with its light purple, bell-shaped flowers.

Golden Crescent
With large blue flowers, the Golden Crescent will strengthen you tranquilizer rounds. You will find it only in Afghanistan, anyway.

Haoma
Like a shrub with miniature red and yellow flowers, Haoma grows on sand in Afghanistan and is good for both Noctocyanin and Acceleramin (concentration drugs).

Tarragon
Tarragon is really helpful in making performance enhancing drugs like Pentazemin and Acceleramin. You will find it only in Afghanistan, and recognize it by the thin leaves and yellow flowers.

Wormwood
A plant with tiny yellow blossoms, Wormwood is required for using the Phantom Cigar. You can find it both in Afghanistan and Angola.
