I haven ' t done this , but there are many possibilities in the Underdark for stuff you could use in alchemy , and you can encounter places and people who might have stores of materials along the way . Mostly various types of mushrooms and fungus , as detailed in the Fungi of the Underdark section of OOTA . That ' s where I ' d start . <| sep |> Thank you <| sep |> Do NOT buy the standard DS II , get the SOTFS version because vanilla is nearly dead populationwise . Source Standard SOTFSDark Souls 1 has even more players than either of them still HAHAHA ! <| sep |> FFS , of COURSE we give both sides the same treatment . If someone insults someone else , we remove the comment and warn them . If someone ' s an outright troll , we ban them . This is how SRD has always worked . If you ' re going to look for me to take sides here , you ' re going to be disappointed .
